Whether your decorating style could be described as classic, cottage, eclectic, modern, or what have you, decorating with stripes fits all tastes.

Many think of decorating with stripes as only appropriate for homes that could be called classic, or preppy, but that’s much too limiting for all the possibilities with this pattern. Decorating with stripes is more than just classic navy and white nautical stripes; although, there is nothing wrong with that if that fits with your style. Stripes are a bold pattern that lends itself nicely to a variety of treatments. Stripes are a perfect pattern for making a statement and work nicely mixed with other patterns like floral, chevron, dots, and more. Stripes can be a great way to add color (like rainbow stripes), or use a monochromatic palette (like black and white) for a more neutral approach.

Decorating with Stripes

Furniture

One easy way to add stripes to a room is with furniture. Fabric-covered chairs or sofas can turn a room from drab to fab. You can even redo an older chair or sofa in striped fabric yourself for a less expensive and more eco-friendly approach. Speaking of DIY, you can add stripes to a much-loved coffee or side table with painters’ tape and paint. Here is a tutorial, if you need a little inspiration to get you started.

Walls

For a more permanent treatment, adding stripes with paint or wallpaper is another way to go. One thing to watch out for is the scale of your stripes to your room. The general rule of thumb is the larger your room, the wider your stripes should be. The other tip to consider is making sure that the stripes don’t take over the room. To that end, try adding stripes to one wall for an accent. If you need a little know-how, the DIY Network is a good place to look for tutorials on how to paint stripes.

Rugs, Curtains, and Textiles

If you don’t own your own space, chances are you aren’t going to be redecorating with paint or wallpaper. Don’t get discouraged, though. It is super easy to add your favorite pattern just by switching up your rug or with new curtains or blinds. You can get quite a bit of drama from a boldly-striped rug or curtains. And if you want to try a bit of DIY, take a look at this tutorial for adding pattern to plain curtains with sharpie markers!

Smaller Touches

Don’t worry if your budget is on the smaller size. Decorating with stripes can be as simple as adding those smaller touches that make a room a home. Accessories like throw pillows, afghans and throws, knickknacks and vases, wall art, lampshades, floor pillows and poufs, and more are all a great way to add whatever the latest color or pattern that you are crazy about. Check out this tutorial for adding stripes to a plain lampshade.

Forget HGTV, turn to the interwebs for your home decor porn. Here are some picks of the hottest (coolest?) home decor Instagram accounts that are just crushing it.

Some of us like to do, and some of us like to watch other people do and that is exactly the reason why social media exists. I really don’t feel the need to make my home all bougie and nice. Instead, I decorate the way humans have been decorating for millennia–with stuff that someone else has gotten rid of–and I leave the real decorating to the pros. And in this day and age, the pros are on Instagram and I love to see what’s the latest they have come up with.

Seriously, checking out home decor Instagram accounts is what I do while trying to look busy on my phone. Home decor Instagramming is only second to the time I spend checking out all the cute pets on Instagram. And if you still reading this, I am betting that you spend a fair amount of time on checking out home decor Instagram accounts too.

Some rules are meant to be broken–especially outdated decorating trends.

While one should decorate their home in any way that resonates with their tastes and desires, there are some outdated trends of which you do well to let go of. I can remember my grandmom, the wonderfully saintly lady that she was, telling me once that she was looking for a a new painting that matched her sofa. As horrified as I was with the concept of matching art to a couch, her quest stuck with me. It affirmed my lifelong commitment to freeing myself from the constraints of decorating times past. We should all shed those decorating trends that have outlived their usefulness (if they ever were useful).

Here are just a few of the decorating trends to free yourself from forever.

7 Outdated Decorating Trends to Leave Behind

1. Symmetry

Don’t get me wrong, symmetry has its place and can create a stunning effect in interiors. The problem is when you feel hampered by symmetry and don’t decorate the way you want to live or the way in which the room calls out for. Symmetry in the wrong room can be a bit like putting a square peg in a round hole.

2. Matching Wood

Don’t pass up that lovely vintage bureau, coffee table, or sideboard because it’s a different wood or stain from the other pieces in your room. There are absolutely no rules when it comes to matching, or mixing as the case may be, wood furniture, flooring, and finishes. Rooms with all the same type of wood or wood finish can look flat and rooms with mixed woods can look warm and inviting. Your eye will tell you what works or what doesn’t work.

3. Art on Every Wall

One thing that the best designers know is the blank space helps control the design. While you may think that every wall is calling out to be covered with some kind of art, think again. Leaving all other walls bare except one wall decked out with a gallery wall is a very dramatic statement. Just like you should leave mandatory symmetry behind, free yourself from the tyranny of art on every wall.

4. Sticking to Colors

While there’s nothing wrong with have color preferences, don’t be limited by what colors you choose in your room. Gone are the days where home decorators chose two main colors with splashes of accent colors. Instead, tell a story with color. Have a turquoise sofa with dark gray walls, a coral sofa, and accent pillows that are green and purple. It’s all good if you like it.

5. Curtains or Blinds Are a Must

Of course curtains and blinds really do serve a practical purpose in most cases. But if you can get away with it, leave them off. Windows without coverings are not only easier to clean, but can be quite dramatic and create a welcoming and brighter home.

6. Furniture for the Sake of furniture

Don’t think you need to stick to the traditional sofa with two armchairs combination. Go for what makes you comfortable–whether that is two love seats and ottomans for everyone, or a bank of mid-century modern chairs centered around a lovely low square coffee table.

7. Thinking Your Home is ‘Done’

Lastly, you just may never be completely finished with decorating your home. As you find pieces that you love and want to call your own–whether that’s art, collectibles, or furniture–make room for them. Your home should be a reflection of you and a warm and inviting place in which you want to spend your time.

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!

Looking to add a bit of a modern vibe to your space? Consider selecting handmade pottery with a modern vibe to your home and decor.

Decorating your home with ceramics is what all the cool kids are doing.

Not only can you add some delicious modern form to your space, but also wonderful functionality as well. Think of lovely modern-inspired planters, mobiles, bowls, platters, and knickknacks to adorn your modern-vibed spaces.

Get cozy and hibernate like a boss.

As you read this, the latest snowstorm is probably bearing down on most of the continental United States right now. While some states have had a milder winter (umm, Hawaii), most of us have been freezing since late October. That means it’s time to make like Yogi and Boo Boo and get into some serious hibernating.

While humans cannot literally hibernate, that doesn’t mean we can’t make our best attempt at figuratively hibernating the winter away. As a longtime hibernating expert, I know there are some must-haves for hibernating in style like a boss. So, whether you are rolling into your space after a long day at work or rolling out of bed on the weekend, check out these finds for hibernating just like a pro.

Hibernate in Style

Warm Slippers Socks

Slipper socks are a stylish must-have for any hibernating enthusiast. Preferably knee length ones that will fit over your other pair of socks!

Warm Throw

Pick your poison when it comes to what kind of throw you want to hibernate under this winter. Do you prefer a flannel, knit or wool version? It’s all about what makes you feel the coziest.

Wine in a Box

Image: Bota Box

Wine is also very nice when setting in for a good hibernating. And boxed wines make an eco-friendlier choice–not to mention most boxes tend to hold more than one bottle’s worth of vino. Bota Box makes a pretty good boxed wine.

Scarf

Image: Anthropologie  

One can never have too many scarves. They really do help you keep that cold at bay whether you are inside or out.

Knitting/Crochet Project

There’s nothing much better than sitting down on a cold winter’s evening to a cozy crochet or knit project. Get inspired by one of these quick knitting and crochet projects.

Ottoman

Tea Set

And who doesn’t want a cup of tea while hibernating? Someone who doesn’t like getting warmed up from the inside out, that’s who. This Sencha tea maker and warmer set is just what you *need*.

Hot Water Bottle Cover

Image: Loftlines

One tip for hibernating like a pro is to use a hot water bottle to warm up your sheets or to keep your tootsies warm while chilling with some Netflix. Of course, you’ll want to cover that hot water bottle for some added warmth and coziness.

What’s Your Home Decorating Style?

Cabin life is slower, more relaxing, and a welcome alternative to the everyday hustle of normal life. These seven cabin-inspired home decorating tips will bring the spirit of the cabin into your space.

Do you yearn for the casual, outdoorsy feeling of the cabin lifestyle? Try these home decorating tips even if you live in the middle of the city.

1. Start With Scent Invite the outdoors in with Juniper Ridge’s Cabin Spray or Campfire Incense distilled from real regional plants, trees, moss and herbs.

2. Comfort at the Core Comfort and softness are key elements to the optimal cabin experience, so keep your living room comfy by adorning it with a beautifully-patterned Pendleton Blanket or two in order to create an inviting space to relax. And if you really want to camp it up, get yourself a Poler Napsack; you may never leave your house again.

3. Wood is Good Wood is an important part of the cabin aesthetic and experience. While it’s not reasonable to redo your entire interior with woodgrain, simply adding handmade wooden elements such as a driftwood candle holder helps mix up the materials in your home to capture a mixed rustic feel.

4. Decorate Distinctly While other home decorating tips on this list may be subtler methods of obtaining the cabin feel, sometimes it’s best to not beat around the bush. Adding blatantly outdoorsy decoration such as a beautiful ax from Best Made Co. can really drive your point home and serve as a centerpiece for the rest of your nesting.

5. Bring the Warmth Gathering around the fire is one of the greatest cabin joys, so buy or make a fire pit for your own backyard to create community, share stories, and keep your summer nights going longer. If you’re less drawn to a fire pit for space or legal concerns, add warmth indoors with P.F. Candle Co.’s Campire Special Soy Candle.

6. Cook Like You’re Camping Though this isn’t technically a decorating tip, large, simple, delicious summer family meals are one of the best parts about cabin life. Bring your friends and family together for camp-inspired meals as part of your weekly meal planning. (Bonus: for dessert, step up your s’mores game with specialty marshmallows from Wondermade.)

7. Loosen Up and Let Go The ethos of the cabin is one of simplicity, casual living, and the character of the space, goods and people it contains. Make it a point to loosen up on the minute details of curating and cleaning your home just as you would at the cabin. Leave room for imperfection, add interesting, non-matching “collected” items to your decoration and goods, and ultimately allow your space to feel “lived in.”

With polar vortices swirling around this winter, hibernating inside with hot cocoa is the only thing that makes sense right about now. Of course, that requires decor that creates a cozy, warm and comforting winter nest in which to hibernate. Here are a few ideas to get you warmed up with decor for your own wintertime hibernation nest!

1.Owl Fireplace Andirons

Image: West Elm

2. Souk Rug

Image: Dwell Studio

And there’s not much else that’s better than laying on an ultra plush rug in front of a roaring fire on a cold winter’s night. Add texture and style with this Berber inspired version in hot cocoa and ivory.

3. Rosette Quilt

Image: Anthropologie

For those days when it’s just too cold to get out from under the covers, how would you like to cuddle up under this pretty cotton-jersey vintage petticoat inspired quilt? It comes in colors like lavender, Tuscan pink and sky reminiscent of pretty blooms to shake the winter from your bones.

4. Cable Knit Mug

Image: Urban Outfitters

Keep it nice and cozy with a mug of hot cocoa in this whimsical “knitted” ceramic mug. You know it’s cold when your mug needs a sweater!

5. Ivory Chunky Knit Throw

A chunky throw is a must have when creating any winter nest and this open-weave example is as cozy and warm as a favorite wool sweater.

6. Living Dot Flannel Sheet Set

Image: All Modern

Flannel sheets are a must have, but that doesn’t mean you must sacrifice style in your effort to stay warm. These soft triple-brushed cotton sheets are make a modern impression while delivering much needed winter nest warmth!

7. LED Candles

Glowing candles can give you the illusion of warmth, but use these perfectly imperfect LED versions of pillar candles for a worry free glow.

8. Lodge Throw

Image: Terrain

Because one can simply never have enough warm throws. This simply elegant Merino wool fringed throw would be perfect to keep draped over the back of any chair for when a sudden chill comes up.
