About Mia
Mia Taylor has always been drawn to the worlds of home design, travel, and fashion. As the Design & Buying Guide Editor at Cocochairs, she turns that curiosity into practical, room-by-room advice — the kind of clear, honest guidance she wishes she’d had when furnishing her first place.
With a foundation in interior design and hands-on experience working in a furniture store, Mia sees both sides of every purchase: how a piece is built, and how it actually lives in your home. She blends her design eye with inspiration gathered from travel and fashion, writing guides that help readers choose with confidence — and feel a genuine connection to the spaces they’re creating.
What I Write
Design Inspiration
Room ideas, palettes, and styling cues collected from homes, hotels, and markets around the world.
Comfort & Seating
How a chair should actually feel — from papasan to accent chairs — explained in plain language.
Styling & Decor
The small touches that pull a room together, inspired by fashion and the way people really live.
How I Choose
-
I start with real questions.
Every guide begins with what shoppers actually ask — not what looks good in a catalog.
-
I’ve sat in it, sold it, or studied it.
Years on a furniture-store floor taught me where quality hides and how comfort holds up over time.
-
I only recommend what I’d keep.
If it wouldn’t earn a spot in my own home, it doesn’t make the guide.
