Home is made up of conversations, coffee chats, and laughs on the sofa. When you design with these interactions in mind, you create truly human spaces that breathe with the people who live there. Miley Cyrus's maximalist home is the perfect example.
The singer's home, designed by her mother, Tish Cyrus, layers a variety of patterns, colors, and textures for a space that feels alive with her personality. Though it's busy at first glance, a conversational seating layout in the center of the room grounds Cyrus's space. Four armchairs set up facing one another across a glass coffee table differentiate the seating area from the vanity, demarcating distinct zones for socializing and getting ready. The warm, inviting sensibility of the design transforms the dressing room into a warm and homey social sanctuary.
Cyrus's dressing room layout is an expert-approved technique for encouraging conversation, and it's easy to recreate in any space. 'For those using their living room as somewhere to host coffee with friends or family, consider placing two smaller sofas opposite each other,' suggests Caron Grant, Design Expert at luxury furniture retailer Bridgman. 'This will naturally encourage conversation. Pairing them with a coffee table or chest in the center will help to create an intimate and sociable setup.'
We love this comfortable and chic couch, featuring velvet upholstery and accented nailhead trim.

This modern glass coffee table reflects light through it, allowing the room not to look as dark. The shape adds a curved shape to any space for a welcoming warmth.
Beyond conversational seating (or whether you have a dressing room or not) using zoning in interior design is one of the best ways to create a cozy atmosphere. Martin Waller, Founder of global design house Andrew Martin recommends: 'Use statement lighting to create different zones, that each have a purpose. Hang pendant lighting over dining areas and use task lamps in corners of the room to create cozy areas for reading,' he says.
'Open furniture, such as cabinets, bookcases, or shelving, can be used to create different zones without making the space feel closed in. Alternatively, a folding screen can provide privacy, something that is often lacking in open-plan living.' No matter the size or shape of your space, zoning can help it feel instantly more intimate and inviting.'
At the end of the day, the point of design is to improve your experience of home. As Miley Cyrus demonstrates. conversational seating is a great place to start.
