I often think back to my parents home and how warm and inviting it was. They both had a great design sense and created really beautiful spaces. What I wouldn’t give to magically be back in that home. I would love to incorporate more pieces with pattern and warmth – something I am working on. With age, my taste definitely swings more traditional. Have you found that to be true for yourself? Today I am sharing some beautiful finds that
We have this bed in our beach rental and I would love to style it in another space with these warm wood nightstands and this moody (softer than soft) rug. You can shop all of these pieces from this spot.
I love the look of a light upholstered bed sitting on top of a darker/moodier rug like that. It adds a cozy feel. You can always incorporate a couple of moodier throw pillows on the bed, too.
These stools are a beautiful way to bring in not only a warm feel but plenty of texture, too. They are just about $100 each which is a really great price. A great choice for a kitchen where you want to add in more of a traditional feel.
I would use this vanity in a heartbeat. It has clean updated liens but the color is so warm. The reeded detail is perfect.
I wish I had done this color above our family room sofa. I went with more of a gray and regret that. The Pottery Barn frames are almost $100 each so this is a good deal for 6 quality frames. You can also try your luck with somewhere like HomeGoods. They often have sets of 3 so you can buy a couple of them.
This piece is beautiful and has really great reviews as well as real life photos. This piece also offers so much storage (they are doors not drawers).
A nice way to bring in warmth is a large textured vase. They can be really pricey. I have this vase and love it. I filled it with one set of these faux branches. A little greenery in every room goes a long way.
Something else that instantly adds warmth is a dose of velvet. We love the cozy vibes of these swivel chairs. We use them all the time and love them. We have the brown color.
SPLURGE WORTHY
This coffee table!!! I would love to use this in a space. It’s absolutely beautiful and looks custom.
If we ever replace our basement coffee table, I am dreaming of this. It has an old world, lived in feel. Perfectly imperfect and huge for games and decor. I just love this table!
And then of course it’s all about incorporating pieces that have been passed down or tell a story. Whether it’s an antique or something from a family member, nothing can replace the warmth of something meaningful.
Almost everything in this room was passed down to us. The piano, the books, the photos . . .the little decor items. To me, this room feels like a warm hug. It may not to others, but what matters is how a space makes you feel in your own home.
Thank you for stopping in. Hope your week is going well.
