Cozy Coastal Living
November 2015
“Feeling cozy is all about comforting natural textures,” says interior and textile designer Lauren Mendenhall. With a nod to coastal living, she warms up a family room with richly printed linens, a deep-blue velvet sofa, and earthy elements like rattan and grasscloth

On what inspired the design:
