In the Living Room: Mixed Textiles

This mellow space from season six is dripping with texture. Mina and Karen cozied up the design by layering linen on leather, jute on wood and cotton on boucle. If you're going for a similar look in your own space, make like Mina and accessorize with a palette of no more than three to four colors.

In the Living Room: An Asymmetrical Layout

Wide-open spaces in a home have almost too much potential. If you're stumped on how to arrange your open-concept living room, check out Mina's tried-and-true approach. What you'll need: one sofa, two chairs (matched or mismatched) and one coffee table. The formula: While paying close attention to the shape and size of your room, arrange your sofa and chairs on opposite sides of your space, facing each other. Then, slide your coffee table into the center of your seating setup. It's that simple! (See this slide and the one before for inspo.)

In the Living Room: Color Without Commitment

Here's a good rental hack if you're not able to paint your space. Mina often uses furniture to play with color. In this living room from season two, a teal sofa and a mustard Victorian chair pack a bold, bright punch. The design is full of hues even though the walls are white.
