It might seem like magic, but creating a welcoming home is as easy as following a formula.

Have you ever walked into someone’s home and been immediately envious that it wasn’t yours? And we aren’t talking about some mansion either, but about those homes that make you want to kick off your shoes, curl up with your legs underneath you on the sofa, and stay forever.

7 Steps to Creating a Welcoming Home

1.Art That Draws You In

Choose colorful, warm, and dynamic art to cover the walls like bold prints or landscape photos. Get playful with your placement as well. Instead of placing art at standing eye level, consider hanging artwork at eye level for when you are sitting down! Just this simple adjustment can change the whole feel of a room.

2. Be True to Yourself

Don’t be too rigid with your decorating style. Allow yourself to step outside the predominant style of your room to add those touches that you love. A room that is too “perfect” can come across can cold and unwelcoming. And one should always decorate with items from their travels, gifts from loved ones, and those things that speak to you.

3. Find the Focal Point

Whether it’s a fireplace, a window, or the layout of the room arrange your furniture around that focal point or highlight it, whatever the case may be. By the same token, color can be used to manage a room. For example, an accent wall can help draw visitors into a long rectangular room.

4. The Right Lighting

Believe it or not, lighting can completely change a room. Don’t think of lamps and lighting fixtures as an afterthought, but create your room around the lighting and your intended use of the room. A dramatic overhead light might be ideal for a room you plan on entertaining in, while recessed lighting would work best for a family room. Another point to consider, according to Ashley Rose Marino of Ashley Rose Marino Designs, “If the space is especially dark, even with additional lighting, you may want to consider lightening your decor with the addition of whites and greys instead of darker beiges to add brightness through your furniture.”

5. Texture

Texture is key to shaping a welcoming home. Rugs, pillows, throws, curtains and other textiles can go a long way to making a space more interesting and inviting. Texture can be a way to introduce visual interest and keep a room from looking flat. You also want to think about texture when considering furniture–some fabrics and finishes are jut way more comfortable and call out for you to sink into them.

6. Create Flow

Use furniture and open space to draw in visitors and to help facilitate conversation and comfort. Too much furniture squashed together does not make for a welcoming room. Mark Cutler from Mark Cutler DESIGN, INC puts it best, “Is it clear how you are supposed to enter the room, try not to have furniture cluttered everywhere, create simple and defined areas for each activity.”

7. Minimalism Can Be Good

Not only can minimalism be good for the planet, but it can also help save you money and create a more welcoming space. As Elaine Thompson, lifestyle specialist at Just Energy, puts it, “Focusing on a few quality pieces to put in a room is far better than cluttering it with a bunch of knick-knacks and things that don’t add value to your space. Think about how you want someone to feel in the room, and then only contribute pieces that support that idea. A great thing about this strategy is that it will make your living space look classy AF and save you money.”

Create a homey, comfy space this autumn by bringing cabin style to your home.

No matter where you live–the Northwest, the Northeast, below the Mason Dixon line–autumn is the time for getting away to appreciate the changing leaves. And the best way to do that is in a cabin in the woods. But what if you can get away? No worries, bring that cabin style home to your pad.

Get inspired to decorate your space like a cozy cabin this season and make it your own  refuge.

9 Cabin Style Decor Inspirations

1. Storage

One of the more charming aspects to cabin style are the quaint and clever vintage pieces. Create more storage with gorgeous vintage storage finds like this apothecary cabinet.

2. Wood Accents

Warm wood is de rigueur for reproducing cabin style in your space. Get creative with how you add wood. One idea, that is particularly ideal for those who are renters, is a wood paneled headboard.

3. Vintage Quilts

Every cabin I have ever visited has featured a stack of soft and worn quilts. Add some vintage cabin charm with your own vintage quilts. Estate sales and thrif shops are great sources.

4. Autumn Wreath

Bring some natural autumn color into your home with a wreath made from dried flowers and other natural elements.

5. Baskets

Whether for practical or decorative purposes, add some baskets for some easy cabin style this season.

6. Cozy Tables

No cabin is complete without functional, stylish, and cozy tables like this simple, rustic accent table that is just perfect as an end table, bedside table, plant stand, or entryway tray table choice.

7. Natural Rug

Add a natural jute rug for some cabin-like ambience. Jute is a natural fiber that is used to make burlap and it exudes an easy rustic style.

8. Natural Collections

Natural history collections are an obvious choice for recreating cabin style. Display pinecones, acorns, sprigs of dried leaves, dried flowers, river stones, and more on a hanging wood slice shelf like this cedar version.

9. Neutral Linens

Neutral natural linens complete the cabin style look. Add neutral accents made from natural fabrics like these cotton tobacco cloth fringed curtains.

Decorating with red sometimes gets a bad rap, but going bold with red can really make your space pop.

While you don’t want your home to look like the “Red Room” from Twin Peaks, decorating with red can add instant drama and vibrancy to your space. But just like with the perfect red lipstick, shade does matter. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, but one word of caution with decorating with red: thoughtfully choose your shade of red–particularly when investing in paint, wallpaper, or other permanent changes. If you are taking the leap and plan on repainting, consider taking a look at ECOS Paints for environmentally-friendly paints.

Great Color Combinations

If you are worried about your home coming off like a bordello in an old western movie, pair it with other colors to help modernize things a bit. Some great colors for decorating with red are pink, white, navy, orange, turquoise, and cream. Avoid greens lest you’re a die-hard Christmas fan. Whether your decorating style is more classic or more modern, you can’t go wrong with a dynamic color combination.

Red Accents

As with any decor changes, the best way to dabble is with adding accent pieces. Pillows, wall art, lamps, throws, poufs, and other home decor accents are an effortless way to add any new home decor look you are into without breaking the bank. With red accents, you don’t need to be afraid to go bold and be dramatic!

1. Pillows are a smart way to easily add pops of color or pattern without redecorating or spending a fortune.

2. Go for some drama in the bedroom with vibrant red bedding like this organic linen bedding set that’s just perfect for cooler temperatures.

3. Decorating with red is as uncomplicated as adding a patterned red rug like this bamboo striped area rug. A really great rug can really tie a room together- just ask “The Dude”.

4. Another great way to add color is with functional throw blankets.

5. While is may be more of an investment than some pillows, add some bold personality with a vintage Mid-Century red sofa like this one.

Let your inner princess shine and show your love for the color pink with these pink décor ideas and inspirations.

The color pink often gets a bad rap in both fashion and décor. I can remember eschewing pink growing up for its patriarchal connotations, but as I grew older, I realized I could be a feminist and still love the color pink. Pink is just a color and those of us who love it shouldn’t let the baggage that has weighed the color down to erode the joy we get from the color. Read on to get inspired to go with pink décor.

Pink has it rough in both fashion and décor. It’s seen as a color for girls only and shades from petal to hot are mocked incessantly. But pink is a fabulous color. Everyone looks good in pink and that is reason enough for me to cover my person and my walls in every shade imaginable. And lest you think that pink décor only belongs in a bedroom of a tiara-wearing Kindergartener, think again.  From the Mid-Century Modern décor fiend to the bohemian eclectic, pink décor can be incorporated into any room and any style décor. All that matters is that you love it.

I have put together a wonderful round up of pink décor finds from wallpaper to planters and everything in between. Whether you want to go full on pink from floor to ceiling, or just to add a pink accent or two, read on to get inspired to bring the color into your space in every hue from blush to fuchsia!

Pretty in Pink Décor

1. Emil Quartz Rose Sofa via Article

This modern Mid-Century Scandinavian-inspired sofa is a classic, but the color would put a spin on your living space for sure. Add bold-patterned pillows in black and white for a statement.

2. Arcade Wallpaper via Farrow & Ball

Add some pretty pink color and boho texture with this handmade leather pouf that would make for quite a pop of color in any room.

Listen up, nature lovers, you don’t have to give up the outdoors just because the weather turns less seasonable. Instead, get creative and bring the natural world inside with some simple natural DIY projects to create nature-themed interior spaces.

9 Natural DIY Projects to Bring the Outside Inside

1. Driftwood Sconces – Turn a piece of driftwood into a candle holder by attaching votive candle holders to a piece of driftwood and hang on the wall. You can affix hardware clamps to the driftwood to hold the candle holders.

2. Twig Centerpiece – The next time you have to go out to collect branches from the yard after a windy day, bring some inside to create a natural DIY centerpiece. Add twigs to a vase along with greenery for a lovely seasonal centerpiece.

3. Fern Stencils – Collect fern fronds on your next walk in the woods to use them for some DIY natural decorating. They can be used as a stencil for your next painting project for everything from wallpaper and wall art to painted furniture pieces.

4. Dried Botanical Framed Art – By the same token, fern fronds and other botanicals can be collected, dried, and framed to create gorgeous art from some of nature’s best beauties for some easy, natural DIY.

5. Painted Pinecones – If you or your neighbors have any pine trees, then you have a ready supply of pine cones to collect and use for DIY projects. They can be spray painted and hung from hooks with ribbon in lonely corners in your home. Or collect them in a burl bowl on the coffee table.

6. Dried Flowers Mobile – This spring and summer, grow and collect flowers to dry and use to create a stunning dried flower garland. Simply tie and hang dried bunches of blossoms from their stems using twine or ribbon.

7. Burlap Curtains – Add some natural textured textiles by hanging raw burlap as curtains. Burlap can set the right textural tone if you are trying to create a nature-themed space.

8. Found Object Collection – Collect nature’s treasures like tiny pine cones, river stones, found feathers, and more and display your collection like they are priceless collectibles. Use a typesetter’s tray to display your collection on the wall or display them under a glass cloche on the coffee table.

9. Nature-themed Mason Jars – Wrap sisal twine around mason or other upcycled jars to create functional and lovely vases, pencil cups, utensil holders, or fill with succulent plants to create open terrariums.

Like the idea of painted old wood furniture or adding paint to your other DIY projects, but don’t like the idea of using toxic VOC-filled paints?

Consider milk paint instead. That’s right. Milk. Paint. Milk paints are water-based paints that are made from milk and lime with added pigments. It’s been around for thousands of years and was even used by early humans to create cave paintings and other decorative objects. Many people most likely associate the paint finish with colonial-era furniture and finishes. The advent of petrochemicals saw the rise of oil-based and acrylic paints, but milk-based paints are again gaining in popularity for those looking to avoid VOC-laden paints that are also difficult to dispose of safely.

While it is possible to make your own homemade milk based paint, if you are so inclined, it’s also possible (and way easier) to purchase it if you are looking for a more consistent product, or need to cover a larger area. Buyer beware, though, some suppliers sell paint that creates a milk-like paint effect, but which still contain VOC-producing chemicals. Both Real Milk Paint Company and Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint are both non-toxic and contain no VOCs.

Milk-based paints, which generally produces a delicious saturated matte effect, come in powdered form and must be mixed with water before use. But don’t let this necessary step deter you. The process is actually pretty simple as demonstrated by Dwayne Siever, founder of Real Milk Paint Company, in this video tutorial.

The paint works well for both furniture refinishing projects as well as on walls. There are special considerations when painting on walls, like whether you are painting directly on drywall or not, the type of joint compound used, and more. It’s probably best to do some research first before deciding to tackle painting your walls with the paint.

Milk-based paint is definitely ideal for DIY furniture projects of all kinds. From creating a Union Jack buffet to painting up a child’s dollhouse with a safe non-toxic alternative, the Internet is awash in inspiration. Here are a few of our favorite DIY projects to get your creativity working overtime.

Have you always dreamed of turning your space into the perfect oasis filled with bohemian decor, but don’t know where to start?

Furniture pieces are the bones of home decorating. And once you have a good foundation, then you can work your way up by adding decorative flourishes–like poufs, tapestries, macremè, baskets, textiles, and more–that make up a bohemian home.

While it can be easy for many free spirits to decorate their spaces with art, found objects, textiles, and other bohemian home appointments, choosing good, quality furniture pieces is a somewhat daunting task. If you’re not careful, your bohemian space might come off more like a thrift shop than a living space. To clarify, there is a tendency to create a boho-chic space that looks “thrown” together.  But, it is possible to create a bohemian space that is carefully curated full of delicious furniture pieces. There seems to be a misconception out there that a creative space must look haphazard. While that may be true if that’s how your creativity speaks to you, some creatives like a more ordered bohemian chaos. And furniture is the place to start. We offer you some inspiration below.

Bohemian Decor Furniture Inspiration

1. Retro Accent Chair

This perfect patchwork chair is greater than the sum of its parts. The combination of retro and modern is sublime. It is also the ultimate chair just made for a reading nook.

2. Z Chair

And if you are looking for a chair that is more of a foundation for all the print and pattern you plan on adding, start with something more basic like this modern-inspired and comfort-driven chair. Do go for a bold or bright color, though.

3. Velvet Sofa

One thing we are certain of is that you absolutely need  a velvet sofa. No other sofa says “boho” quite like velvet. This one is available in 19 different colorways from scarlet to forest. Love.

4. Marble Topped Coffee Table

A coffee table is a must in a boho space, and we love this communal marble-topped version. The round shape and mix of wood and marble make it both inviting yet elegant and chic.

5. Bar Cart

Looking for someplace to tuck away everything from plates, bottles of booze, or back issues of National Geographic, this rattan bar cart is just eclectic enough to fit into a boho space.

6. Console Table

Whether you use it on which to place your television or collection of vintage blue glass, a console table is a useful foundational furniture item. We love this oak slab version made using reclaimed wood from local sources.

Thin, cheap, and sustainable, plywood is the design material of choice from architects to furniture makers.

When one thinks of elevated design, plywood is not the design material that often comes to mind. But it is actually inexpensive, easy to work with, easy to manipulate, and it can be a better choice if sourced sustainably.

A man-made laminated wood product, plywood is processed by bonding many thin layers of wood together to create super strong and stable sheets of wood.

Whether you are purchasing to DIY or buying finished products, do try to use plywood that is has been certified sustainable. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) are two international certification programs, but there are other certifications available like the American Tree Farm System and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. As a consumer, you want to make sure that your plywood products are coming from sustainable sources and aren’t using endangered tropical rain forest or illegal sources.

As far as design and decor go, what do you think of these plywood furnishings and decor? We certainly think they are fancy.

Plywood Home Furnishings and Decor

Stacked Magazine Table

Made with walnut and Baltic birch plywood, this table draws its inspiration from the Mid-Century Modern era. It combines form and function as a work of art and as a functional table/magazine rack. Plus, Baltic birch can be a greener option as it is a faster-growing tree.

Kerf Wall

Kerf Design has created the amazing Kerf Wall, which is a simple system of cabinets and shelves that hang on slotted panels. The beauty of the Kerf Wall is that it is completely customizable and easy to move the shelves and bins around. There are even fun attachments like a guitar stand. It’s the ultimate in modular furniture.

Storage Bench

The FSC maintains a searchable database of valid certificates. The furniture artist Jason Hernandez is just one of the talented artisans in the database. He made this gorgeous storage bench from reclaimed wood and maple plywood.

Modern Rocking Chair

This modern rocker is designed to be both comfortable and to encourage good posture. It’s made with Baltic birch plywood and protected with a low-VOC clear-coat to protect the wood. It can also be painted or stained.

Sit back and take a load off with these stunning handmade lounge chairs that combine both comfort and design. 

While lounge chairs may make you think of super bad Barcaloungers from the seventies and eighties, anyone who watched “Mad Men” knows lounge chairs are super cool. More importantly, though, they are super comfortable. By definition, lounge chairs are for lounging. They are meant to be comfortable and meant for reclining or lounging back, as opposed to an upright style chair like a wing chair. But the ultimate in lounge chairs is to blend both form and function, or design and comfort.  The Eames lounge chair of the 1950s is the perfect example. It combined style, elegance, and timelessness, but with an easy comfort that makes it still desirable after all these years.

While the Eames chair may be the perfect specimen, there are plenty of other chairs that can live up to the demands of both form and function. In fact, a quick trip to Etsy shows that there are some worthy examples of handmade craftsmanship out there, just ready to add to your space.

Don’t settle for mainstream furniture pieces! Instead, get inspired with these handmade lounge chairs to add easy comfort and style to your living space.

Handmade Lounge Chairs

1. Tufted Mid-Century Lounge

We love the easy elegance of this handmade piece from Circa60. It is inspired by the designs of modern furniture designer Adrian Pearsall and features high resilient cushions and teak wood. It also has a corresponding ottoman, which is important for any serious lounger.

2. Hand Woven Lounger

This stunning hand woven arm chair lounger from Masaya Trading Company is made with a sustainable-sourced Nanciton wood (tropical hardwood) frame. The seat and back feature a striking linear pattern in red, blue and natural. All of the wood used is either reclaimed from hurricane damaged areas or sustainably harvested. It’s a stylish and casual statement piece that is great for any room, and looks to be quite comfortable.

3. Leentu Lounge Chai

The handcrafted Leentu lounge from Lunar Lounge Design is made from formaldehyde-free Canadian Maple ply that comes from renewable, sustainable sources. It has a uniquely shaped wood frame and “slung style” woven jute web-seating that looks super comfy, but it’s also unique enough to add design to your space. It just might be the perfect furniture solution for your mid-century, ecologically-conscious home.

4. Relief Felt Lounge Chair

This chair from Mickus Projects blends both the mid-century with contemporary design. It features that timeless mid-century design, but its sculpted digital-fabrication is completely of this time. It’s made from renewable wool felt over an aluminum frame. It’s soft, sturdy, and while it may be totally out of your price range, it’s worth drooling over. It also happens to be in the permanent collection of the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.

5. Grant Featherston Lounge

Inspired by Grant Featherston, the great furniture designer of the 1960s, this chair from Macer Home Decor features mid-century design with boho chic styling. It’s sure to be a statement piece if you add it to your living space. We love it.

While the kitchen may be the soul of the house, the entryway makes the first impression. Up your game with these easy entryway ideas.

Whether you want to add some more personality to your home or are looking to up the curb appeal, implementing entryway ideas can be a fantastic way to make some dramatic change to your home without a supersized budget. Entryway ideas from adding bold patterns and bright colors can be an a quick and easy investment in your home. Discover some other simple entryway ideas to update your space below.

7 Simple Entryway Ideas

1. Decluttering is a Must – While the entryway is the place you use to come in and out of your home, it is crucial to keep it clutter-free as a possible to create a welcoming vibe. Don’t let your foyer be the place where everything accumulates– backpacks, shoes, jackets, umbrellas, the diaper bag, and what have you. If you don’t have a closet nearby in which to stow this stuff, consider adding a wardrobe to hide away your gear.
2. Shoe Storage is A Must – We know you like to kick off your shoes as soon as you get home, but all those shoes can be unsightly just inside the door to you home. That’s where shoe storage fits in. Figure out what works for your household, but find a solution. We like a shoe wardrobe for an upscale home for shoes.
3. Bright Color – Don’t be afraid to update your entryway with color. The entryway really sets the tone for your home, so why should it be boring? Consider a dark red, bright yellow, chartreuse, or aquamarine–whatever is right for your home.
4. Bold Patterns – And by the same token, bold patterns can be where it’s at. Whether you want to wallpaper in a bold chevron, add a black and white checkerboard tile, or use a stencil to add pattern to the stair risers, adding pattern can make for a more dynamic entryway.
5. Don’t Ignore the Foyer – One easy change to make to your foyer is not forget about it. Have you ever been to a home where the entryway was devoid of all decoration? It seemed cold and uninviting, right? Make sure to add some decoration to create a warm and welcoming place. Whether your taste runs to a family portrait wall or an elaborately painted mural, both will add visual interest and personality to your entryway.
6. Do the Unexpected – Get creative with the space and do the unexpected. Instead of adding the ubiquitous entry bench, source old school lockers, a church pew, or some other unique piece to make a statement.
7. Add a Display Table – In those upscale homes from the pages of the magazines, a commonplace entryway element is a display table. If you have a large foyer, consider adding a round table on which to display a vase of fresh flower or a featured collection.
