Budget Window Shopping: 30 Vintage Finds Under $50

WHAT A WEEK. We revealed Jess’ incredible patio makeover, shared a few tips and tricks for keeping your home toasty and comfortable, reviewed 7 huge electrical planning mistakes, and broke down some of 2022s biggest decor trends. IT’S BEEN A LOT OF LEARNING.

So today, I wanted to give your noggin a break and ease you into the weekend with my all-time favorite internet pastime: vintage window shopping. I’m spilling the beans on 30 of my favorite small, wallet-friendly sellers on Chairish (yes, they exist!) and highlighting some incredible vintage steals under $50.

On the hunt for the perfect finishing piece? Maybe I linked it up below! Looking to support a small business? These folks are all great options! Just trying to figure out the best sellers to follow on Chairish so you never miss a slammin’ deal? You’ve hit the curated retailer list jackpot here, my friend. Let’s begin with a little something something from my hometown, yeah???

Item: 1960s Blown Glass Double Bud Vase
Price: $15
Shipping From: Excubist Designs in Wilmington, DE

WOW. 60 years old but she looks as good as new, right? This bud vase is so versatile – the shape is shockingly on-trend (hello, avant basic) but those sweet scalloped edges make it a perfect fit for those whose style falls a bit more in the “classic cottage in the countryside” category. Like, Ms. Honey from Matilda would have this in her house. SO CUTE. (Added bonus for my Gen Z-ers: it’s a fraction of the price of a Lex Pott candle.)

Item: Copper Pedestal Dish
Price: $50
Shipping From: Judy’s Junktion in Cartersville, GA

I grabbed a similar copper vessel when the team raided Em’s garage last year and it makes me smile every. dang. day. This piece would be a total showstopper on a dining table or mantel, don’t you think? (Also, Judy sells anything but junk. Her curation and prices are incredible – I’m eyeing this 1980s Lenox ceramic pear box, too.)

Item: Mid-Century Ceramic Horse Head Ashtray
Price: $50
Shipping From: The Vintage Advisor in Keasbey, NJ

If you also love Jonathan Adler but have a regular person budget, this ashtray may be just the right finishing touch that your coffee/console table needs. Alternatively, use it as a catchall in your entryway (no more lost keys!) or as a jewelry dish in the bathroom – either way, you’ll have a luxe-looking piece for way less. (PS. I know this breaks the $50 rule, but look at these $108 brass unicorn bookends that The Vintage Advisor has up for sale right now. Do I…need them???)

Item: 1930s Depression Glass Vessel
Price: $25
Shipping From: Xavier S. in Vancouver, WA

I’m really revealing all my favorite sources: this Chairish shop contains the MOTHERLODE of cheap depression glass (and colored glass of all kinds, too). Do as you will!!! Anyway, I love how timeless this vessel’s shape is – it’s vintage and still playful! – and that saturated blue is SO freakin’ fresh, even 90 years later.

Item: Brass Lobster Bottle Opener
Price: $45
Shipping From: Mayflower in New York, NY

Late last year, I bought this vintage Italian corkscrew and let me tell you that IT CREATED A MOSTER. I’ve since fallen in love with collecting quirky barware (a surprise to absolutely no one) and this brass lobster bottle opener is now square in my sights. It’s not just me who loves this stuff, though – if you’re ever stuck on what kind of gift to grab for a design-minded person, I’ve found that vintage bar tools like this one ALWAYS hit the mark. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Item: Decanters & Apothecary Bottles
Price: $42
Shipping From: Laineybean Home Decor in Sloughhouse, CA

Five vintage bottles in this condition for this price is a HIGHWAY. FREAKIN’. ROBBERY. I love Lainey’s idea to use these in the bathroom – can you imagine each jar filled with different bath salts or bubble bath? They also look even better in the listing, if you can believe it (the crop kind of distorts the coloring – they’re all totally clear, it’s just a tan background!).

Item: Cast Iron Rocking Horse Doorstop
Price: $38
Shipping From: Extraordinary Treasures in Phoenix, AZ

Excuse me. HOW FREAKING CUTE IS THIS? That posture! That expression! That tail! We don’t give doorstops enough credit, I think. The floor is such a fun place to play with decor in a new way, you know? In this case, maybe you’re interested in dipping a toe (or two!) in the styling-with-whimsy pool – just pop this in front of a door of your choice and see how it feels. I bet this little guy will make you smile!!!

Item: 1950s Pink Alabaster Trinket Jar
Price: $20
Shipping From: Shop Dinosaur T oes in Rustburg, VA

Confession: I maaaaay end up buying this before this post goes live. HOW COULD I NOT? (“Probably by developing better impulse control,” – you, right now.) But hear me out: It’s $20! It’s a squat little ginger jar! It’s bubblegum pink! It’s carved from solid stone! You know how much this would cost if it was being sold new? This little container is special, sweet, one-of-a-kind, and worth every single penny. LOVE.

Item: Small Bamboo Easel
Price: $32
Shipping From: Object Biographies in New Orleans, LA

First, I’d like to formally go on record and state that the tortoiseshell finish is about to have a BIG MOMENT. Second, can you imagine how chic this little mini-easel would look if it were displaying a little cocktail menu in a home bar setup? (“Chic” in the Palm Beach, Hollywood Regency, a little over-the-top way. Speaking of regency – how good is this pineapple-shaped marble and brass cheese tray from the same shop?)

Item: 1940s ‘No Admittance’ Sign
Price: $45
Shipping From: Genesse River in Volant, PA

If you’re in need of a cool vintage sign, Genesse River is basically a one-stop-shop. I love how silly and irreverent this one is – it’d make a fun, graphic statement in nearly any room of your house.

Item: Silver-Plated Duck Bank
Price: $50
Shipping From: Hometown Furnishing Finds in Cookeville, TN

I’m normally a firm believer that food delivery gift cards are the best thing to gift in a baby shower – like, who has the bandwidth to worry about dinner when they’re busy worrying about how to keep a new person alive??? – but this little duck bank has me changing my tune. It’s such an elevated take on a classic motif and it’d look right at home in any A-Lister’s nursery, don’t you think?

Item: Belgian Milk Glass Apothecary Jar
Price: $25
Shipping From: Dearly Decluttered in Boise, ID

A few weeks ago, Mal walked us through a few great ways to make your vitamins look, well…not ugly. Today, I’m coming in hot with a vintage solution: this cheery milk glass apothecary jar. She’s airtight AND she’ll protect your vitamins from exposure to sunlight. The proportions are so fun, too!!! This is one of those “quiet” pieces that we talk about a lot on the blog – it’s interesting to look at without calling a ton of attention to itself.

Item: 1960s Iron and Brass Candle Holders
Price: $36
Shipping From: DSM Lamp Works in Windsor Heights, IA

ANOTHER QUIET WINNER. You can’t tell in this shot, but those X bases are lifted a little and it makes such a cool, modern shape. The patina is great, too. Go minimalist with your dinnerware, pop a pair of taper candles in these bad boys, and your tablescape is basically finished for ya! What else can a girl ask for???

Item: Burn Board Wall Art
Price: $45
Shipping From: Rara Avis Design in Bozeman, MT

You ever see something that makes you wish you had another house so you could experiment with a few different styles? That’s how I feel about this piece. I’d love to see it styled out in a space that really leans into some classic Americana – you know, Pemberton blankets, buffalo check rugs, warm tones, lots of brick and wood. IT’D BE SO COZY!

Item: Murano-Style Purse-Shaped Glass Vase
Price: $49
Shipping From: Studio Concu in Zachary, IL

My current flavor of the week: Murano chandeliers. Buuuuut seeing as I don’t really have the budget to drop $5,000 on Italian lighting for my apartment with 8′ ceilings, these little tiny vases are scratching the itch in the interim. How fun would this piece be on a vanity? (PS. Studio Concu is one of my all-time favorite MEGA-affordable Chairish sellers.)

Item: Spanish Silver-Plated Twisted Stem Goblets
Price: $50
Shipping From: Summer Porch Vintage Living in Sacramento, CA

Zoom in!!! Not only are those stems twisted – they’re engraved with bunches of grapes! The goblets also come with glass inserts (GENIUS!!!) that’ll make cleanup a total breeze. Can you imagine serving dessert in these? But if they’re a little too “castle chic” for you (fitting, based on yesterday’s post), I’m here to give up another one of my favorite retailers: Summer Porch’s table- and barware inventory is UNPRECEDENTED. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a budget-friendly piece there that you love, too.

Item: 1970s Mottahedeh Trinket Dish
Price: $45
Shipping From: Maey in Winnetka, IL

Remember the old “there’s an app for that” Apple campaign? Well, here’s a 2022 take: THERE’S A MOTTAHEDEH DISH FOR THAT. I’ve given this one as an engagement present and this one as a going-away gift and let me tell you…folks who are into grandmillennial decor LOVE THIS STUFF. If you’re interested, there are a ton of different phrases and color-ways out there that are perfect for every occasion.

Item: Burl Wood Bookends
Price: $42
Shipping From: The Distillery in Austin, TX

My initial reaction to these went as follows: “uhh, are those maracas? Are they attached to slabs of wood? What is going on?” True to form, though, after staring at these bookends for longer and longer, they’ve endeared themselves to me. The shapes are fascinating and I think they could bring a lot of organic warmth to a more sterile, minimal space. (Remember when Bowser styled Jay-Z’s office? Like, these bookends feel like they could have held their own in that shoot.)

Item: Handcut Danish Decanter
Price: $35
Shipping From: Sarah E. in Tuscon, AZ

SO SIMPLE. So pretty. Decanters can get so expensive – this is a sturdy, keep-forever pick at a price that won’t break the bank. I would decant my mouthwash into this piece in a heartbeat.

Item: Brass Flamingo Statue
Price: $46
Shipping From: RELIC in Grand Haven, MI

If you also spend 30 minutes at flea market poking around the tent of whichever vendor has covered an entire table with brass figurines, I’m sure you also know that statues like this can get expensive. A foot tall piece for under $50? INCREDIBLE. Add it to your bar cart! Put it on your entryway console table so you’re always greeted by a shining, friendly face! The possibilities are endless!

Item: Porcelain Faux Bamboo Toast Rack
Price: $35
Shipping From: TheCreativeWe in Van Nuys, CA

I LOVE A TOAST RACK. I mean, sure, you could use this for napkins or mail and bills. But can you imagine using it for actual toast?! I DREAM of being the type of person who, uh, invites people over for breakfast (I guess? Since I live alone?) and then has their life together enough to carry out 4 pieces of perfectly-toasted bread WITH A PRODUCT designed specifically for carrying out 4 pieces of perfectly-toasted bread. One day I’ll get there. Maybe.

Item: Geometric Granite Paperweight
Price: $40
Shipping From: Earth and Images in Scottsdale, AZ

I don’t really love calling decor “masculine,” but that’s exactly how I feel about this bold cut of granite. It’d look SO GOOD on a bookshelf, or on top of stack of coffee table books, or in some other vignette that I don’t have the brainpower or creativity to imagine. If I were a little further along in my living room process, I’d buy for final styling without hesitation.

Item: Mid-Century Mushroom Salt & Pepper Shakers
Price: $28
Shipping From: Past Prezence in Laconia, NH

If you aren’t ready to dive head-first into the whole mushroom trend, these salt & pepper shakers would be a great jumping off point. They’re happy and playful (and since they’re in need of a little bit of polish and elbow grease, they’re also deeply discounted). Why go for an ordinary salt shaker when you can have one that’ll be fun to use every day?

Item: Nymolle Art Faience Danish Demitasse Cup
Price: $29
Shipping From: Allie’s Antiques in Bella Vista, AR

The illustration on this cup is just SO GREAT – it’s that perfect mix of youthful and mature that I really love. I wish it came in a wallpaper!!! I’d love to see this holding toothbrushes in a bathroom or holding pens in an office. (Also, Allie has pages and pages of well-priced pieces for all kinds of styles. Highly recommend favoriting her shop.)

Item: 1970s Italian Millefiori Dish
Price: $35
Shipping From: Corner House Collections in Metairie, LA

So, um, I also may buy this one before the post goes up – I’ve been feeling really inspired by this color palette lately. It started with these Kutani Geese, which I missed out on because I didn’t want to spend $250 on goose figurines (hooray for impulse control, sometimes!), and ever since then, I just can’t stop thinking about this melon/peach/turquoise/cobalt/chartreuse combo. Too weird, or do you also see the appeal???

Item: 1990s Bubble Glass Bowl
Price: $38
Shipping From: Kitty Curated in Riverside, IL

If you put this bowl in a sparse, high-end, super-modern store on La Cienega in LA and told me it was $600, I would absolutely believe you. While I don’t think this could work in my house (I’m a little too 1930s-meets-1970s over here), I could absolutely see this bowl looking uber-luxe in a more cool-toned, industrial space.

Item: Mid-Century Magazine Rack
Price: $47
Shipping From: WOOZ Style in Hastings, NE

If this rings a bell for you, it maaaay be because Sara included the fairly-similar Target version in her living room reveal (it’s just to the left of the sofa). These Umanoff-style magazine racks are totally classic for a good reason, though – this shape and construction feels just as fresh today as it did 70 years ago. Well done, vintage!!!

Item: 1980s Brass Dolphins with Ball
Price: $20
Shipping From: Dichamp Designs in Clermont, FL

WHERE IS A BEACH HOUSE WHEN I NEED ONE? This statue may need a little polish, but it’s such a good deal. What a fun way to spice up a boring bookshelf!!! (A few more winners from this shop: this $65 hobnail compote, this $50 brass crane, this $50 brass frog.)

Item: Mid-Century Marble Eggs
Price: $23
Shipping From: Serenity Antiques in Garrison, TX

I am the world’s biggest proponent of marble eggs and these are a STEAL (seriously, comparable ones sell for like, $30-40 each on Etsy; don’t even get me started on how much they cost at crystal shops!!!). I display mine in on top of a little stand in my window frame (scroll way down to get to the window shot) and I love that it spices up a spot that’s normally pretty boring. Big fan of the egg as decor!!!

Item: 1960s Anna Hutte Crystal Candy Bowl
Price: $30
Shipping From: Antique & Chic in Lincoln, CA

Last but not least, I’ll always be a sucker for a vintage cut-crystal candy bowl. These are always SO beautiful and I cannot believe that they are affordable, too. This one in particular makes me wish that I lived in like, a gilded age mansion with a big library and a huge leather-topped desk with a fancy candy budget. It’s fun how just looking at stuff can spark your imagination, you know??

And, well, I guess that’s it for the first-ever edition of Budget Window Shopping. I had a blast pulling this together but WHAT SAY YOU??? Hit me with some feedback, please – maybe we can publish a round 2 next month. LET’S CHAT. xx

Perfect Places for a Bedroom Rug : 6 Areas in Your Home

A bedroom area rug may help divide areas of the space, but determining where to place these textiles can be tricky. A well-placed rug may add warmth and character to a room's color scheme.

Rugs in practically any size are readily accessible and can fit various purposes to your interiors. Consider your rugs as a piece of practical art that you can enjoy while keeping them pleasant and functional. To use your rugs effectively, you should account for the layout and size of the rest of your rooms.

Here are six areas that are perfect for placing a bedroom rug:

Entryway
The entryway to your bedroom could be an excellent place to put a rug. This area can be the most traffic in your room. Area rugs in this area can be costly but last for several years.

Try going with a geometric pattern if you want to add a little character to your bedroom area rug. You can also try going with a black and white graphic for a more modern and chic feel.

If your bedroom is small, try going with a large area rug covering most of the floor and your furniture. Large area rugs in small spaces can make the area feel roomier.

If you want to add a pop of color to your bedroom area rug, try going with a bold pattern. Bold patterns are great for adding color to a room.
Bedroom and Dresser Cluster
If you want to create a slightly more intimate space, consider placing a rug between the bed and your dresser. This will create a lovely area where you can get dressed, and you can sit on the bed while tying your shoes while you're at it, too.
Dividing the Bed and the Window
Create space between your bed and the window using a bedroom rug. You could place your bed adjacent to the wall and have a rug that divides the wall and the bed. Doing so helps protect your floor in this area, too.
Around a Desk
It is good to lay a rug between the bed and the desk in your bedroom to define the spaces as separate. You can also place a rug in front of your desk to make the area feel more finished.
Under the Bed
Another popular area in the bedroom for a rug is under your bed. This is a great place to start if you don't have a lot of room to place a rug in. Besides solving your storage issues, it can also help keep the room warm and cozy.
Bathroom Area
If you want to create a bathroom area in your bedroom, you can use your bed as a divider. You can place the bed against one wall, and you can put a rug in the middle of the room to create a separate space between the bed and the bathroom.

You can also consider a bathroom area rug to help prevent spills and general wear and tear in your bathroom area.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a room-defining piece to add to your bedroom area rug, try going with a black and white graphic that can bring a room together and make a place feel more modern and chic.

A well-placed rug may add warmth and character to a room's color scheme. Placing rugs in practically any size is readily accessible to help enhance your bedroom.

If you want to buy authentic Moroccan rugs as a statement piece in your bedroom, shop at Atlas Weavers. We are a top supplier of Moroccan decorative rugs, and each rug is unique and of high quality. We want to keep old traditions alive, so we use the best quality natural spring wools, native dyes, and herbal washes. See our collections today!

The Biggest And Best Home Decor Trends We’re Predicting For 2022

And just like that…our final 2022 trend prediction. I had to say it once:) This one is probably my favorite since my dream kitchen and primary suite are still a few years away (HA). So diving into my saved folders on Instagram and Pinterest, browsing other design sites and designer’s portfolios, I get to connect the trend dots and see if there are any that might work in my little abode (and in yours of course. This year might be one of the most fun years yet because of the style varieties and general playfulness. I think we can all agree that we will take playfulness and fun as much as we can in this year. To the trends!

Colorful Dining Room Tables

design by mariona espinet and román sarrió | photo by eugeni pons

I have lots of fun memories of sitting around the dinner table. You know like negotiating with my parents on how many green beans I had to eat before I could get up from the table (we usually settled on three). But despite all the happy memories, having a colorful dining table was not one them and after looking at these photos I wish it had been.

left: design and photo by trine brunsvig | right: design by jacques grange, photo by nicolas mathéus, via architectural digest

We’ve all seen the poorly painted tables of college yesteryear but this isn’t that. This is prettier (and higher quality). Adding a brightly colored dining table to an otherwise neutral dining room keeps popping up on my feel and it feels like a breath of fresh air. It says “I’m grown up but know how to have fun still.” I think that should be everyone’s goal…unless you have zero intention of wanting to have any fun (boring).

left: design by corinne mathern, photo by laure joliet , via dwell | right: design by shawn henderson, photo by stephen kent johnson

But hey, I can appreciate being not totally ready to go full color. If that’s the case then dining tables (or a dining table as a desk) with colorful legs could be the answer. A toe (or leg) dip in the pond if you will. Oh and if you’ve ever wondered what the drummer of the Arctic Monkeys dining table looked like, it’s that super cool one on the left.

Dramatic Canopy Beds

design by beata heuman| photo by simon brown| via architectural digest

Ok, most canopy beds are pretty dramatic but what’s been coming up feels just a tad more so. Like a theatre major that also got their master’s degree. I love the one above by, you guessed it, Beata Heuman. The actual bed is just a normal bed! So to kick it up to maybe even a PhD level, she created a whole (and very elegant) canopy situation from her ceiling. It makes the room look super tall, and perfectly balances a modern traditional mix.

design by studio ashby| photo by simon upton | via architectural digest

Gimme that drama, gimme that pattern play. I love the absolute boldness of the cabana stripe and color that Sophie Ashby chose for her stepdaughter’s room. It’s so dreamy and structured yet looks a bit oversized which I think is also my favorite part.

How do y’all feel about big dramatic canopy beds? Next question, did you love building indoor forts when you were little?? Same vibes.

Extra Long Ceiling Lights

left: design by colin king, photo by blaine davis, via new york times | right: design and photo by michael dansk

OOO baby there is actually nothing I love more than a beautiful, chic, and relatively impractical design choice/trend. Welcome to the “Extra Long Ceiling Lights” portion of this design program. When I first saw these lights above, I immediately was like, “how can I get one?!” I won’t be getting one for now (I’m sure they are quite expensive) but I think if you don’t have young kids and 20/20 vision and you love this look – DO IT FOR ME. And hey, those might be able to be adjusted so they lift up for when people are over.

design and photo by merci| via remodelista

We see this a lot, right? Designers take normal decor pieces and play with the proportions. I think it’s so fun because actually reinventing the wheel is veeeery hard to do. So if you come over to my future dream home and bump into a ceiling light, sorry in advance:)

Ah it’s so beautiful. Okay, onto the next.

Extra Tall Table Lamps (Or Floor Lamps On Tables)

Another kinda crazy idea that I like A LOT and have been seeing more and more of! Actually, when Dabito put his new Jungalow x Target floor lamp on his credenza, I immediately tried it (except I don’t have a credenza and it was a small side table). It just looks cool and super unexpected.

Look how cool this lamp looks on this side table by Kellie Brown. Both this and the Jungalow lamps work at a higher height is that they both have “shades” that block any glaring light bulb action. Remember that if you want your floor lamp to reach new levels.

left: design and photo by ferm living | right: design and photo by pj mattan

The lamp on the left is a classic oversized table lamp from Ferm Living that I am very into. Then the one on the right might actually be a very fun floor lamp but gives the same oversized table lamp illusion. How cool is it?!

Tramp Art Mirror

design by rita chan interiors | photo by gavin cater | via domino

I feel very confident with this prediction. Not only because I’ve seen it everywhere (that will be evident soon) but Emily Henderson herself loves them and bought one when we were all vintage shopping together in Long Beach last summer.

from: emily’s bon voyage but not before a lot of vintage shopping

This is it! It’s beautiful, unique, and just the right amount of decorative. Simple but special, you know?

left: design by federica viero, photo by laura fantacuzzi & maxime galati fourcade, via domino | right: design by rita konig, photo by dylan thomas, via elle decor

They clearly add the perfect amount of contrast and vintage to a wallpapered bathroom. Exhibit A and B.

left: design by studio alexandra, photo by finn studio | right: design and photo by kennesha poe-buyucks

Or in a bathroom with the coolest pedestal sink I’ve ever seen. Also, Kennesha Poe-Buycks of Restoration House and Cassandra Lavalle of Coco Kelley put together this gallery wall with you guessed it, a VERY cute and little tramp mirror.

The final nail in this trend solidifying itself is that Studio McGee designed a modern burl wood option that is on sale now. I rest my case.

Mushrooms

design by jayna maleri | photo by angela hau | via domino

Mushrooms aren’t just for babies and Gen Z (although they are loving them too). Em has loved a mushroom motif in design for a long time. They add whimsy and are fun. That is obvious when you look at the room above. Somehow that stool is both chic and playful. The dream.

These cuties are actually a DIY by Tracey Hairston and are a much more affordable option to the ones on the market.

design by studio giancarlo valle | photo by stephen kent johnson | via domino

But like I said the kiddos love them too and this classic version (that’s also maybe a table lamp). This room is incredible in every way (also check out that canopy) but the mushroom really helps to make it feel less serious:)

left: design and photo by signe nørtoft | right: design and photo by antonia paris shop

Gen Z is kinda killing it in the whimsy and playful category. So mushrooms make A LOT of sense. I guess we’ll see if they eventually trade them in for more neutral options in the future.

Castle Chic – Wrought Iron Elegance

left: design and photo by jake arnold | right: design by studio giancarlo valle, photo by stephen kent johnson, via architectural digest

This one is close to my heart because I have fallen hard for this trend. On my balcony, a little on the patio, and in my living I might have found the coolest $6 iron candelabra there ever was from a thrift shop in Chicago. Sorry for the tease:)

Anyway while the trend is all things wroght iron (but simple and more on the organic side), candle holders are at the heart. Look at those beauts above!

This isn’t your parents decorative wrought iron wall sculpture (sorry mom and dad). This is the traditional yet special sculptural moment that really makes a statement. Think how much more awesome that standing candelabra would look with tall candles?!

design by jane hallworth | photo by sam frost | via architectural digest

So high end designers have really leaned into this trend. Remember this stunning piece from the home Jane Hallworth designed??

design by tali roth designs | photo by lillie thompson | via t magazine australia

Then Tali Roth has stolen my heart with those sconces and chairs. It makes the space come to life.

left: design by nicholas obeid | right: design and photo by tali roth designs

For furniture the “iron wave” is super in. Everyone from Athena Calderone, to Nate and Jeremiah (no last names needed), to Nicholas Obeid, Tali Roth to only name a few. So next time you are out vintage shopping, keep those eyes sharp.

Disco Balls (But Big Ones)

When we all looked at this home tour last year we were stunned by that huge disco ball. It’s incredible. We then of course started to see more and it made us all real happy. But the trend here is the size.

design by lukas gahler | photo by lukas schaller

Sure these sizes aren’t the easeist to find (because smaller disco balls have absolutely been happening). But if you see a big one that affordable grab it! It’s going to be literally big this year. Em wanted to give her opinion on some of these trends, so here she is. Emily Henderson, everybody:

Monastery Bedding

design by transition state design | photo by olivia pierce

Nothing says “sexy” like a flat beige bedspread and yet we are all pretty into this less fluffy look. There is a level of non-fuss utilitarianism that we love visually, although I (Emily) do not want to sleep in this bed. Ever. The vibe is purposefully off putting, not meant to be inviting and warm and for that I’m attracted to it – like a teenage boyfriend who plays hard to get. There is a tension in the non-attraction, and we appreciate the inversion of boldness.

design by jake arnold | photo by michael clifford

It’s earthy, yet flat. Warm yet COLD. A bed I love to look at and jump on, but maybe not snuggle into. This is an obvious rejection of the triple layered duvet fluff look of the last ten years, and we appreciate the shift visually, but I prefer comfort at all costs.

left: design by post company, photo by adrian gaut, via vogue | right: left: design by colin king, photo by blaine davis, via new york times

Well, fine …. so pretty and simple. These feel warmer and like there is some comfort underneath these secret linen layers. I love the idea of the fluff beneath the flat.

design by studio giancarlo valle | photo by stephen kent johnson | via architectural digest

Here we go. A broken stripe (check), blue and white (check) hits of mustard (check) and moody AF (check). This room is wildly inviting even without a fluffy feather in site. The key to this look, regardless of pattern or color is to have it fall onto the floor and spread out like wings. It’s a lot of restrained drama.

design by ethan feirstein | photo by christian harder | via domino

One more to prove that you can have a bedspread over a comfortable duvet. It’s a ‘get the look’ and a ‘get the comfort’ that we approve of.

Medium (And Reddish) Toned Wood

design by lizée-hugot | via sight unseen

After years of light Scandinavian woods we are delighted that there is a shift towards not only darker but even redder toned woods. I think like anything there is a saturation point and while white oak and the likes fit certain houses so well (mine, my brothers, the mountain house) this shift broadens the options and just allows for deeper tones in the home, should you crave it.

While the straight up mid-century retro look is not having a moment, we are seeing a return of the more orange teak like the cabinet above. There is aa bold warmth to it that can help offset light tones (like the floor). And there is a rebelliousness that says ‘i’m still into mid century’, which we stand behind.

left: design by janette yost, photo by chase wiley, via domino | design by jayna maleri, photo by angela hau, via domino

We love all good quality wood (preferred less shiny) so it’s nice to see more red and warm tones gracing our internets.

left: design by folk studio, photo by the palm co. | right: photo by schoolhouse

While the years of White Oak and Ash aren’t over, we are excited to see more wood grains joining the table (wink).

Mini Shelf Gallery Wall

This is a case of the power of repetition. Are you a gallery wall or an art installation? Either way it’s elevating or giving a lot of attention to the object that it holds up and we like this intentional eye grab. It adds far more dimension that a gallery wall, but still with looseness that allows for creative freedom.

There is something really simple, but powerful about doing the same object on the same shelf over and over and over, or hell odd objects on different shelves. I suppose the boldness of drilling into your walls so many times makes us feel uncomfortable in a really good way. Respect.

Tonal Wall To Wall Carpet And Upholstered Furniture

Curtains are matching your carpet again, but this time we have a new player – the furniture. We love this tonal look of the wall to wall going now up the bed and onto the bedding. It’s soothing and strong. We don’t mind it at all over here.

Both of these are such incredible examples of restraint that also requires some boldness (wall to wall carpet). I LOVE this look and will absolutely empoy it in the farmhouse. It makes the room look bigger, your eye is stopped less on the ground and instead raised up high towards the real focal point – the wallpaper.

YES. This tonal blue and chartreuse look is magically soothing. The floor melds into the bed and invites you in. It’s not dissimilar the mountain house kitchen where the wood flooring was the same as the cabinetry, creating a seamless horizontal then vertical look. I’m VERY into this and want to do this in our bedroom.

SOLD (on this idea). How soothing is this combination of fabrics in that incredible green color. Jess found this image, but I want it to inspire our family media room (but with a more comfortable sofa). It’s like a uniform for your house – done so very well.

So there they are! What do you think? Ispired? Rolling your eyes? Let’s chat!

Love you, mean it.
