5 Designer Styling Secrets

May 16, 2018

Designers and Stylists have a lot of experience transforming spaces and making them Instagram image worthy. We know that without the right finishing touches, even good bones and beautiful furniture can look blah. But even if you don’t have the budget for a professional, there are easy tricks you can do to make your home look more like the images that inspire you. Today I am sharing five styling secrets to help you get that layered designer look in your own home.

Layer Items you Love

Becki Owens and Nicole Davis Cotton Point Estates Project

A room feels complete when shelves and tables are styled with objects that you love. Mixing old family photos, favorite books, travel souvenirs with new purchases creates a unique layering of beautiful objects that makes a room feel vibrant. If you don’t like the collection that you have, I always find beautiful styling pieces at local boutiques, vintage stores, or on sale at Pottery Barn, West Elm, One Kings Lane, or Etsy.

Faux Plant Guide

February 20, 2018

Get the Look with Faux Greens / Snake Plant / Planter + Look for Less

My favorite finishing touch to any project is styling with greenery throughout the house. It adds a freshness and a vibrant pop of color to any space. Although my first choice is to always use fresh-cut stems or potted greens, there are times when real plants just won’t work. The good news is that fake plants have gotten much better–more realistic, less cheesy. So if you have a windowless bathroom, a low-light basement, bad allergies, or just do not want to spend time maintaining house plants, you should not hesitate to style with faux plants. Today we have a pretty round up of some favorites. Click to shop your favorite, toss it in a pretty planter or vase, and give your space an effortless refresh.

As a follow-up to our Fall Curb Appeal post yesterday, I wanted to offer a one of my favorite and easiest styling tips to give your homes a little charm this fall – a beautiful fall wreath. Putting a pretty wreath on your front door instantly adds to the curb appeal of your home. It makes your home looked lived in, cared for and inviting. Now days there are so many amazing styles of wreaths to choose from. I love to shop for wreaths on Etsy, at Pottery Barn, William Sonoma and West Elm. I also love the wreath selection at Terrain. Their collection is carefully curated. Below is a roundup of my favorite fall wreaths available right now. It’s a great investment you can use from year to year and through Thanksgiving or throughout the winter to add color and warmth to your home. I hope you have fun browsing this selection. Have a great Thursday!
