What This Interior Designer Says All Couples Need to Know About Decorating Together – POPSUGAR

"If you love certain items, I'd recommend displaying them on bookshelves or coffee and side tables," she says.

These stylish wooden baskets work beautifully for throw blankets and other textiles, while decorative bowls can hold smaller pieces like coasters and candles.
