Liz Walton Home

As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, October brings with it a special energy. Here in Philadelphia, that energy is electric, whether it is gathering around the TV to cheer on the Eagles, decking out the family room for Phillies’ Red October, or opening your home to friends and neighbors for cozy autumn get-togethers. At Liz Walton Home, we believe the best home interiors are not just beautiful. They are designed to be lived in, to make entertaining effortless, and to create lasting memories.

There is nothing quite like hosting friends and family for an Eagles game on a Sunday afternoon. The right seating arrangement, thoughtful flow, and layered lighting make all the difference between a space that feels crowded and one that feels welcoming. Add in durable fabrics, surfaces that stand up to game-day snacks, and accessories in your team’s colors, and suddenly your home becomes the ultimate spot for celebrating every touchdown.

When it comes to October baseball, my family and I are true Phanatics. Some of our favorite memories are from attending Phillies playoff games together, celebrating every hit with strangers in our section with enthusiastic high fives, and holding our breath with every pitch. Now, as my kids get older, we talk stats, hitting rotations, and pitching match-ups, and I love every conversation. Red October has become a beloved Philadelphia tradition, and it reminds me of how thoughtful home interior designs can help create that same sense of excitement and togetherness at home. Whether it is a media room with stadium-style seating or an outdoor area warmed by a firepit, flexible spaces turn your home into the perfect backdrop for unforgettable Phillies moments.

While we are cheering on Philly sports, our team at Liz Walton Home is also heading to High Point Market in North Carolina this October, the largest furnishings trade show in the world. It is where designers discover new collections, explore trends, and connect with makers who inspire us. What we find there directly influences the storied interiors we create for our clients. From innovative fabrics and finishes to bespoke furniture pieces, the market is an incredible resource that allows us to bring the very best home to you.

Whether it is a big game, a holiday dinner (yes, the holidays are coming!), or an impromptu fall gathering, great design makes entertaining seamless. Spaces that anticipate your lifestyle, from ample seating to well-placed surfaces and thoughtful lighting, give you the freedom to focus on the people around you rather than the logistics of hosting. That is the true art of entertaining at home.

As we celebrate the moments October brings, both here in Philadelphia and at High Point, we are reminded of the power of connection. The homes we design at Liz Walton Home, one of the leading interior design firms, are always about more than finishes or furnishings. They are about the relationships they hold and the memories they help create. Next month, we will be diving deeper into the importance of relationships at home, in our community, and in the work we are privileged to do every day.
