Create a Reading Area in Your Home
Fall is the perfect time of year to curl up and dive into some new spooky thrillers. When the weather gets chilly outside, you'll want to have a cozy space in which to unwind already set up in your home.
Nadia Watts, the founder of Nadia Watts Interior Design, suggests creating a reading and relaxation area that you can enjoy all season long—and beyond.
"You don't need much space to create a cozy seating area where you can curl up with a book and a cup of tea," she says. Try an accent chair and side table positioned in the corner of your bedroom.

MAKE THE VERY MOST OF YOUR WALL ART
Think about where you hang your frame too, urges Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design. ‘Most people hang their art too high; this can make even the fanciest art look cheap. A good rule is to hang your art at 60” from the floor, and centered.’
'Once you have it hung correctly, light it up! There are a lot of great products on the market for this, including wireless art lights that you can stick right on your wall, and angled can lights that will allow you to light your artwork from the ceiling,’ adds Nadia.
