For Cassie Williams, a well-designed home is all about texture. The interior designer advocates building up a cozy, welcoming space through layering: woods, metallics, linens, sheepskins, and dried flowers piled up to create a room that's pretty, practical, and personal to you. It's a great strategy: whether you own an extended townhouse or rent a flat in the city, you can throw everything at it without breaking the bank (or upsetting your landlord).
