A friend of mine is in the middle of a remodel and came to me for advice about her new windows. She is in love with the black window trend but is worried that it will soon become dated. If you’re updating your home, it’s a question you might be asking too, “Black or White Windows?!” Read this post for all our thoughts on this hot design trend and what window look is right for your home.
On Monday, we shared another look in our design series, Mix and Match Design: Modern Farmhouse. Today, we wanted to remind you why this is a look to love by resharing modern farmhouse highlights from the blog. We love the look best when clean lines are paired with rustic warmth, rich textiles, industrial hints, and comfortable furniture. Take a peek at some of our favorite ways to get the farmhouse look.
In this post, we share seven design elements to consider to help you get the farmhouse look your loving. From flooring to lighting, we shared some of our favorite farmhouse elements in some favorite spaces. Pick one or two or add them all to refresh your space with rustic warmth.
An affordable way to bring a room to life is with indoor plants. A pop of green with an interesting texture can make a lifeless corner or shelf feel complete. I like to think of them as nature’s art, and although they take a little more care than a new watercolor, they are certainly more affordable than an original art piece. Today I am sharing some recent spaces where an indoor plant has made the difference, how styling your plants in groups or with a unique planter can make a major statement, and ideas for using plants all throughout your home.
Soft neutrals throughout the master bedroom in the Heber House Project create a calming retreat. A large structural green plant in a cement planter filled with moss fits with the minimalist aesthetic of the room, but the variegated green leaves add life and keep the space from feeling bland.
A unique copper pot filled with succulents adds warmth to the classic modern kitchen of my Estillo Project.
The large leaves the fiddle leaf fig fills a corner that might otherwise feel neglected in the Estillo Project Dining Room.
A grouping of plants in the sunny window of the Heber House Project looks beautiful. The traditional topiary in a cement planter is a perfect mix of styles in a modern farmhouse.
A shallow round planter of succulents adds organic texture to the round dining table in my Las Palmas Project.
In my Indoor Plant Guide post, I shared how a strategic grouping or unique planter makes a statement. In the corner of my Alta South Project collaboration with Nicole Davis, a trio of raised planters looks sculptural, especially with a variety of textured succulents.
For more ideas on how the right planter or grouping of plants can make an artistic statement, read the full post here and check out the Indoor Plant Guide below.
In this post, Styling Tip: Adding Greenery with Succulents, I shared ideas of how to refresh spaces throughout the house with a bit of green and a resource of favorite succulents to use.
Add a little green in the bedroom like this sweet planter on the nightstand in this modern Spanish bedroom.
