Westman, who has built a reputation for his inflated, chunky aesthetic that makes everything look like it's been puffed up with joy, found his inspiration in an unlikely place. When his fellow Swedes, siblings Rasmus and Isabella Wranå, took gold in the mixed doubles curling event against Team USA, Westman did what any designer would do: he celebrated by creating something new. The result is a glossy, sky-blue bowl that perfectly captures the rounded silhouette of a curling stone, complete with that distinctive elevated handle.
Any time I've felt like a room in my home was "missing something," it's almost always been a rug. They have a way of subtly tying the details of a space together and can enhance the aesthetic without you having to make much effort. In my opinion, the hardest part is picking one out - but knowing where to shop is a great place to start.
If you're looking for a low-effort way to make over your bedroom, switching out your duvet cover is the easiest way to go. Maybe it's the Sagittarius in me, but I change mine constantly, so I'm always on the lookout for stylish, colorful covers that make my bedscape the main attraction. When I found this Toile Duvet Cover Set while browsing on Urban Outfitters, I knew I had to have it. Just look at the antique floral pattern - it looks straight off the Bridgerton set! Plus, it's on sale right now.
When it comes to styling a smaller space, it's simply essential to be strategic about which areas you highlight (and which you don't). Although it may seem like larger spaces would more easily allow for experimentation with design, the truth is that small spaces force us to get creative - and that's where so many fun trends are born. My current favorite? I'm calling it "the micro-mantel."
At first glance, the faux fur treasures all look similar, but each has its own distinct perk. For instance, the Lola Blankets pick has a stretchy construction that's perfect for wrapping, while the Cozy Earth bubble blanket is the ultimate reading-in-bed accessory thanks to its heftier weight and tailored look. Since these are quite fluffy, I like to style my faux fur blankets in two ways, depending on my mood. For all-season decor, you can't go wrong draping it against woven upholstery.
Part ice pack, part blackout mask, this one is a miracle worker for headache days. It's a stretchy, light-blocking cap that delivers soothing hot or cold relief without hard ice or Velcro. A cheeky little mug that makes morning coffee a bit more flirty.

Recently I found this darling original painting placed in a vintage frame from an artist on Etsy. I just love it! it reminds me of the island views outside of our own home. This is the kind of decor for our home that we treasure, something that tells our story. Etsy is a wonderful place to find creatives who create special pieces...the kind you can fall in love with and keep forever!
For all its magic and wonder, winter has some obvious downsides - like dark, dreary days, and cold and flu season, to name a few. To help with the winter sniffles, I always keep a box of tissues in my apartment. Essential as they are, though, tissues aren't the most aesthetically pleasing item. Which is why I immediately fell in love with this Scallop Printed Tissue Box Cover from Anthropologie.
Valentine's Day is a notoriously difficult holiday to shop for, and whether you've been together for six months or six years, a romantic gesture that demonstrates your partner just gets it remains timeless. We think the right gift can communicate your feelings and intentions in ways words just can't, even if you are a poet. Sure, the best Valentine's gifts would traditionally include dark chocolate or bouquets and bubbly, but our design-oriented minds like to be a little less on-the-nose when it comes to our V-Day gifts.
We all need a place to relax, disconnect, or enjoy our hobbies. But between busy households, remote work, and the general clutter of everyday life, many homes quickly start to feel cramped. And that's when a she shed comes in handy. Equivalent to a man cave, a she shed is a place of solitude, where you can take refuge away from your housemates for a couple of hours.
It's the place where you rest and recharge, and chances are your sleep space is probably the one area you tend to ignore, as it's more of a private zone versus a public one in a home. That's exactly why Michigan-based mother-daughter designer duo Jean Stoffer and Grace Start of Stoffer Home wanted to make sure their first collaboration with The Company Store really prioritized bedding - even though they're accustomed to designing whole homes and large-scale kitchen projects.
Millennials have a reputation for decorating exclusively in gray, white, and farmhouse chic - but one millennial, u/Mewpasaurus, was not buying it. After moving into a mountain home and starting a DIY design journey, they wondered whether that aesthetic actually reflects how their generation lives. So they asked fellow millennials to share photos of their real homes. From colorful maximalism to cozy, lived-in spaces, the responses proved there is no single millennial interior design style:
"Making the most out of my sweet tiny apartment bathroom," Lily from @lilycateking on TikTok wrote in the caption of a recent video. The video is a compilation of snippets from her bathroom, in which she's added a table with shelves for her towels, a silver tray to house her glass containers of cotton swabs and lotions, fresh flowers, artwork, and a stunning lace shower curtain that steals the entire show.

From artfully curated gallery walls to warm and cozy color palettes, design-loving couple Katie and Cody know how to have fun with decor. The couple behind Highboy LA is known for the earthy and playful aesthetic of their Los Angeles apartment, and now they're translating that vibe to their new 1886 Victorian in Illinois. That includes pop-art touches, sleek mid-century furniture, and houseplants in just about every sunny corner.
The house is packed with charm, and its spirit was felt by Emily the moment she first saw it. "I'd just had Bea, and through the sleep deprivation I could see very clearly that this house was fully magic," she writes, explaining that it reminded her of the "glowing family life" set designs of Richard Curtis, something she wanted to emulate. "A family house where I could tie balloons on the gate for birthdays and enough space for learning to ride a bike."
Humble brag incoming, but one of my favorite parts of my job is that I get to preview products and brand look books before they're available to the public. It's fun to get a first look at launches, and sometimes those sneak peeks happen in fabulous settings, like the recent Boll & Branch holiday preview at The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad.
I'd be hard-pressed to find a person who hasn't shopped at IKEA at least once. It's like the Disney World of furniture stores, with its sprawling showroom and massive marketplace - even the cafeteria is an attraction in and of itself. But it's IKEA's budget-friendly Scandi-cool furniture and decor that keep us all coming back for more. The prices are hard to beat on a regular day, so when the store has a sale - it's a big deal.
