Home Decor

I love the idea of having greenery in my home but let’s be real — I am terrible at keeping plants alive. I either forget to water them for weeks or drown them trying to make up for it. Every plant I’ve owned has met a tragic end. But this space? Absolutely stunning. Source

This Austin living room is goals. Designer Chiara de Rege hid a TV behind a sliding cane screen in a stunning, solid white oak built-in — also a coat closet & game cabinet. Brilliant! Plus, proof that smart storage can be drop-dead gorgeous. 😍 Source #HomeDesign #InteriorInspo

This Vietnamese multigenerational home is built entirely with terra-cotta, brick, and bamboo. I love the terra cotta color—find it so relaxing and soothing. The way they used it here, from walls to tiles, creates this warm, earthy vibe that just feels calming. Link

Mediterranean Sunshine for Under $4

I saw a kitchen renovation that made me stop scrolling: a London couple turned their IKEA cabinets into bright-yellow, striped beauties inspired by the towels and umbrellas at an Italian seaside hotel where they vacation every year. The genius part? They used painter’s tape, not paint. Dorian Caffot de Fawes (an antiques dealer) and his husband Thomas Daviet (an interior designer) bought rolls of yellow painter’s tape, under $4 on Amazon, and wrapped their cabinet doors in vertical stripes.
