Comfy chic
Make your home easy to enjoy MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It’s a difficult compromise: Many of us want our homes to look as stylish and carefully designed as the ones we see in decorating magazines. But we also want them to be comfortable and easy to enjoy. “A relaxed lifestyle is something people want more and more, and their homes are reflecting that,” says Young Huh, a designer based in New York City. “The old rules of formal living, and therefore decorating, are disappearing. People want to have dinner parties with mismatched dishes, and candles and flowers that are casually and imperfectly arranged. They’re looking to enjoy themselves more and impress less,” Huh says. Designer Kate Jackson, based in Rhode Island, gets the same message from her clients. “I am typically asked to create a space that can be used more by family and friends,” she says, and to “lose whatever formality lives there.” How do you pack a room with gorgeous style but also make it a place where you can comfortably kick back? Some advice from interior designers on achieving that perfect middle ground — gorgeous, relaxed style:

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn creates relaxed interiors by meticulously editing all furnishings down to an ideal mix of shapes, scale and finishes.
“A RELAXED LIFESTYLE IS SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT MORE AND MORE, AND THEIR HOMES ARE REFLECTING THAT.” YOUNG HUH than structured upholstery, and opt for durable, touchable fabrics like washable cotton, stonewashed linen or soft burlap. For even more softness, layer smaller rugs on top of a larger one. To add a burst of style, Los Angeles-based interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn suggests choosing some bold, graphic stripes rather than solid-coloured fabrics.
“Relaxed interiors don’t always involve soft, muted colours and neutrals. They can be packed with colour and still be laid back and casual,” Flynn says. “I’m a huge fan of an allwhite backdrop with tons of saturated colour introduced with old objects like canvas flags, old maps, and even torn and tattered handmade rugs,” he says. “When the
bold colour is introduced with texture and character, it adds a collected feel, almost like a sense of history.”
PERSONAL PIECES
Relaxed rooms include items that have personal meaning, such as heirlooms that might be worn or tattered by time.

RUSTIC WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY
This loft decorated by Brian Patrick Flynn demonstrates the designer’s use of eclectic, vintage pieces to make a space feel unique and collected. The art is simply leaned against the walls and a collection of canvas flags is strung in front of the window as a simple, unique display.
