A decor trend we’re loving right now? Animal art! It’s such a fun way to add a whimsical element to any space, giving your walls a little extra dose of personality.

While a bed is probably the most important component of your bedroom’s design, nightstands are a close second in crucial bedroom furniture.

This past year, our multi-purpose homes have become do-it-all spaces that host a lot of life and activity.

Trying to make a new apartment feel like home can be hard, especially when the space you have to work with is small. It doesn’t help that you generally can’t make permanent changes in a rental.

Art Deco is an iconic design style that showed up on the scene in the early 1900s. A bit over-the-top, it’s known for its use of luxurious materials and geometric patterns. This style originated in France (one more reason to love it), then spread throughout Europe and America in the 1920s. And that’s when this […]

Sometimes, it feels impossible to land on a layout for your space—especially when you’re trying to squeeze extra function into your home, as so many of us have been doing this year with shelter in place.

With so much of life currently spent at home, it’s more important than ever to have furniture that works for your life.

It’s no secret that rugs can be expensive. When they’re made using high-quality materials and traditional techniques, rugs are investment pieces that will last you a lifetime.
