Create a Home Sweet Home Office

Typically, the words “cozy” and “workspace” don’t go together, but today we’re going to be bending the rules. The following tips are a great way to add some warmth, personal style and creativity to your desk area.

#1: Add texture and warmth

Adding a throw over your chair is a great way to add comfort and dimension to your workspace. You can fold it over your chair back or lay it face up over your seat for added comfort. Faux furs offer the warmth needed for an office and allow you to share your style in a practical way.

#2: Keep it personal

One of our favorite ways to keep a smile throughout the work day is to have photos of loved ones around. By adding photo frames to your desk, you surrounded yourself with positivity, no matter what chaos the work day may bring.

#3: Add creativity, without the clutter

A trick to adding creativity to a smaller space without making it look messy is to go vertical. By using taller, rather than wider, decor you can add an equal amount of personalization but use a fraction of the space. For this workspace, orchids and ferns add a touch of color and complement the earthy sophistication theme.

With these three simple steps, you can transform your workspace and your mindset while making the space comfortable and unique.

New Year’s Resolutions for Your Home: #1 Declutter

The advent of the New Year is always a good time to reflect on goals and make thoughtful resolutions about how we want to improve our lives. Here are some suggestions to bring the resolutions for 2022 closer to home.

Get Rid of Old Stuff

Many people tend to acquire new things faster than they get rid of the old. This can lead to overstuffed closets and overcrowded living spaces. If you’ve noticed more things lying around your home than you have uses (or space) for, now is the perfect time to give those items a new home. If a piece is in good condition but no longer useful to you, donate it to a local charity and pass on the joy the item gave you to someone else.

If your space is being taken over by things that are no longer useful to you or anyone else, then decluttering is as simple as getting a few trash bags and dedicating time to clearing out your space. If the task seems daunting, setting a timer for 5 minutes to an hour a day for dedicated cleaning time can really ease any anxiety you are feeling.

Acquire Attractive Storage Pieces

If you’re not interested in elimination so much as organization, beautiful and functional furniture might be the perfect solution. The following are examples of pieces that look great in their own right while also helping to keep clutter at a minimum:

Bookshelves

Shop Bookcases

Storage Benches

Seasonal Accessory Decorating

One of our favorite things about the change in seasons is the chance to make small, subtle changes that refresh our home. Accenting with throw pillows and adding in-season floral arrangements are two great ways to bring your home to life. But why not take it a step further? Decorative lanterns and boxes are perfect for creating fun, one-of-a-kind vignettes without breaking the bank. Check out some more of our favorite ideas.

FALL

Fill a decorative glass box with gourds and faux—or real—autumn leaves. Check our your local craft store and pick up a fall inspired garland to wrap around the bottom of the box.

HOLIDAY

Use lanterns decoratively by filing them with red and gold glass ball Christmas tree ornaments. Tie a wire ribbon to the lantern handle and accent with some garland.

SPRING

Fill your favorite lantern with faux flowers you can pick up at the craft store. We love hydrangeas and the lush look they provide to this weathered wood lantern.

Nothing says spring like bird nests and robin’s eggs. Create a springy moment on a shelf by filling a decorative glass box with faux leaves, flowers, a nest and some faux eggs.
