I get it— it can be really hard to make your home office feel creative— especially when Pinterest inspo seems like such a far reality from what’s possible. But I’ve designed my home office from scratch without any interior design degree— just a little mood boarding, color scheming, and creative strategy. One fundamental process that […]

This is gonna sound weird, but take a look at your home office walls, and ask how they feel. I’ll wait. What did they say? Are they happy with how they are? Do they like the paint that’s covering their outside? Or, do they feel like they need a little bit more attention? If you’ve […]

Your sofa is your carriage. Your pouf, a toadstool. Your mirror, the portal to the mystical beyond. If you want your fairycore dreams to extend beyond the Pinterest screen (yes, that was meant to rhyme!), then you’re just about ready to venture into designing your own fairycore interior design in a room… or your entire […]

Let’s face it– home offices are tricky. I mean, you’re balancing focus with coziness with inspiration with comfort– and typically, you’re working with a minimal (or even shared) space with it all. I’ve seen rules left and right about the perfect home office– “It should follow Feng Shui guidelines!” “No, no, your desk would always […]

So you’ve realized that even though you’re grown up, you’re a fairy girl at heart. A whimsical home aesthetic, fairy-inspired make-up– you’re here for it all, and you’re here to make a room in your space reflect how your dreams bubble up on the inside. Interiors aren’t easy for everyone. Sure, they look effortless on […]

Cottagecore vs. honeycore— let’s talk about everything we know about these two interior design styles and what their real differences and similarities are. ? (Anyone want to drink some tea with local honey while reading this? Because I’m SO in.) And even though honeycore is something I just recently discovered (in interior design, no less!), […]

Not the colors you probably think of when you hear “nature,” right? But a blue orange color palette has deepest, breadth, and variation across our beautiful plant, where we love getting inspiration for decorating our homes! Orange is a mix of the warm glow of after-golden-hour sunlight. Blue is the natural skies, oceans, lakes, and […]

As the air turns crisp and leaves begin their descent, there’s one color palette that has always had a special place in a cozy girl’s heart: autumn ones. ? If you’re an autumn aficionado and a lover of all things cozy, then picture working on your art, or business, or spending time with your family […]

Yes, it is possible to step into a room and feel like you were transported into a fairytale. And yes, it can be a room INSIDE YOUR VERY HOME. ? That’s the magic of themes like cottagecore and forestcore. But wait a sec, are they even the same thing? (Hint: No, they’re not). While you’ve […]

Ever had one of those moments where you’re scrolling aimlessly online, and then BAM— something catches your eye, and it feels like you’ve just found that missing jigsaw piece of your soul? If you feel like your interior design style is a little bit whimsical, a little bit feminine, and a little bit country, then […]

Handpicked wildflowers and delicate lace deserve a spot in your home… But what if you have more styles that you love? Styles that are dark, moody, bright, airy, spunky, steamy, dreamy, and everything in between(y)? Let’s rewind a bit, and remember what cottagecore really is for a second. Cottagecore: that sweet, pastoral vibe. The fairytale […]

There’s something about that allure of cottagecore on Pinterest… That it sometimes seems so far away. But all you really need is a little bit of strategy, and you can seriously transform your living space of monotone, boring, “adult” looks into a cottagecore lifestyle and home that actually makes you feel like you can create, […]

Whites aren’t just those overblown-out, uber-bright, totally bland options. Whites can be warm, expressive, cool, expressive if you make them. And while I’m not one for light colors, I’ve seen many-a-Pinterest post that has proved my initial preference wrong. Kitchens don’t need to have that overly bright, hospital-like vibe; they can easily have a beautiful […]

The toilet, the flushing— not really a cottagecore vibe, won’t you say? The bathroom probably isn’t the first thing you’ll think about when it comes to a cottagecore aesthetic, which is even more of a reason why you need to work to make it beautiful. See, bathroom spaces aren’t just for, you know. It’s for […]

If the kitchen is the heart of the home and cottagecore is a warm, nostalgic hug, then why not have both? ? After all, cooking and eating is waaaay more fun when you’re in a space where you’re cozy and comfortable, and cottagecore is probably one of the more cozy interior design styles out there. […]

It’s spooky year-round, yet it’s classy and sleek… If you’re a lover of everything dark, cozy, and haunted, then you might love the idea of making your interior hauntology style, a deep, mysterious, and yes, even slightly ✨ whimsical✨ style of interior design that might mirror a little bit of dark academia, a little bit […]

Ever felt like your space could feel a little like an Edgar Allan Poe story, or mesmerized by the ethereal cottagecore interior design elements, but with a little darkness added to it? Dark Romanticism just might be where you live— in a realm of love, passion, and depth, all wrapped up into one space. But […]

That drab home office? As Hilary Duff says, ✨so yesterday.✨ There’s no better feeling than gliding into a home office that you designed and curated specific to your design passions and helps you function in your work-from-home job. And there’s no better way to make your desk more inviting than being surrounded by things that […]

Did I catch you in a daydream? You know, that feeling like your life could actually feel like your own perfectly curated Pinterest board (without the pressure of it necessarily looking perfect all the time). A home that welcomes you with open arms, the confidence to strut around in your own style, and a community […]

Picture this: Marie Kondo’s Japanese philosophy, plus the mindful and minimalist beauty of Scandinavian design. Although I don’t have a particularly Japandi style in my home, I still feel like the Japandi style of interior design can be applied anywhere– whether through the physical décor and style or through the organization and approach to a […]
