Living Room: Redefining Family Time
We’ve all been asking a lot of our living/family rooms these past few weeks. You may have had to transform a portion of your space into a home office or classroom, but with the addition of decorative accessories, plant life, and focal points, you can create a space you want to be instead of have to be. Lighting is a key element in any space. Pair a chic lamp with an accent table and comfy chair et voila ! Instant reading nook! Hosting a virtual happy hour? A glamorous bar cart is not only functional but a statement piece on which to showcase your beautiful barware. I find displaying my luxury items encourages me to use them more often! Take a break from binge-watching the latest Netflix show with a family game night! Pull up a plush stool for additional seating.As a designer, I often use strategically placed mirrors, eye-elevating art, and elongating window treatments to make a room feel larger. With a few thoughtful swaps, you can introduce a fresh design for spring to update this dynamic, high traffic environment, inviting the new season into your home.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Dining Room: Gather Around the Table
Now that we’re eating all of our meals at home, it’s the perfect time to update and upgrade your dining experience! Infuse a fresh design for spring into your mealtime with decorative dinnerware for everyday use. Setting a casual, yet elegant table with linen napkins and placemats will help satiate that craving for dining out. Get the most out of your cookware with beautiful oven-to-table options that double as serveware, then store it all in a statement sideboard. Gathering around a well-appointed table enables me and my family to re-connect with each other. Pull up a velvet chair and enjoy! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Pro Tip! Think of the dining table as a blank canvas for you to paint with your personal style. Select centerpieces that add a touch of your personality to the table, whether it’s set for dinner or not. Candleholders, bowls, and vases make perfect focal points because you can easily adapt them to fit your tablescape. By interchanging floral arrangements, colored candles, and various fruits or objects you can add a fresh design for spring to these elegant vessels for each meal.1. 2. 3. 4.

Kitchen: Nourish the Soul
The hub of every home is the kitchen. And for me, a kitchen is the perfect place to blend both form and function with a variety of thoughtfully designed pieces. Personally, I love cooking and find that having beautiful tools like a special baking dish and glam cooking utensils makes the experience even more fun! Infusing color into your kitchen, be it in dishes, cookware, or a fun apron, can add an instant sense of cheerfulness to your fresh design for spring. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Pro Tip! Composing a “design moment” on your countertop adds a touch of decor to an otherwise function-forward surface. Get the look of a professionally styled setup by leaning a cool work of art against the wall and placing a tall item like these ginger jars with a low item like this berry bowl in front of it so the art acts as a backdrop. Groupings of three are aesthetically pleasing, but feel free to play with height and scale to suit your space. We’ve all tried to “MacGuiver” an iPad or cookbook holder while following a recipe, so why not rest it on a beautiful yet practical stand!

Bedroom: Build Your Sanctuary
The bedroom is a respite from the pulsating family life that flows through the other rooms of the house. This space is just for you! You’ll be surprised how a few upgrades can make a fresh design for spring feel like a whole new room. Start with the air itself by opting for a snake plant. This popular plant is known for its protective energy and releases oxygen at night, so it’s a superb choice for the bedroom! Turn your bed into a Throne of Restfulness with a headboard, bench, and flanking lamps. Bonus! These chic lamps have USB ports! Perfect for recharging your devices while you recharge your body and mind. Finishing touches like decorative wall art and a funky chandelier will make the space feel like a boutique hotel. Display perfume bottles or accessories on a glam tray with a mirror hanging above for a makeshift vanity. Check out my recent guide for Health and Wellness at Home for some additional ideas on how to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary.1. 2.
