11 Rooms With Botanical Prints That Will Convert You

Nothing will refresh your home more than fresh plants and flowers, however, botanical watercolors come pretty close. Not only do they bring beauty, color, and fun into any room but botanical prints can also bring a sense of calmness and a connection with nature. Whether you prefer an antique version like watercolor or a modern interpretation print, bringing them into your home will for sure add whimsical and energy to your decor. If you haven’t caught up with the trend, there is a real urge for everything nature-inspired lately. We can see botanical-inspired designs on everything from wallpaper, fabric, and art. According to Elle Decor “This year alone, searches for botanical prints are up 114% on Pinterest, while interest in framed plants is up a whopping 396%.”

I love the use of botanical prints or drawing on the panels of this bathroom. They dress the whole room while giving it consistency.

Our Mudroom Before & After: 9 Other Mudroom Design Inspirations

Every homeowner dreams of a big mudroom where family members can walk into. The bigger the family the more the need for a functional and utilitarian mudroom. When we purchased this home, there was a spacious room in the back of the kitchen with no washer and dryer and an empty wall. As an Interior Designer, I immediately figured out how to utilize the room better. I was also able to take some of that room to expand the kitchen. I’m aware that not everyone has the necessary space to create the ideal mudroom but don’t you fret, you can still have a designated area that can function not only as a mudroom but also as a focal point.

Christmas Decoration In Opulence

It’s sad to see how every year, fewer magazines are showing Christmas decorated homes. I understand they want to be politically correct and be respectful of other religions however I think that everyone can enjoy the pretty decor and the festive side of Christmas whether or not one believes in it. These images were published back in 2014 and it’s amazing how relevant they still look today.

The home was decorated by Bronson van Wyck for Christmas and it’s opulent but somewhat approachable.? Beautiful magnolia garlands frame the impressive metal staircase and doorways, while my favorite part of this house is the library fireplace mantel which was draped in cedar branches interlaced with custom-made paper fans.

Modern Can Be Colorful As Seen In This Washington D.C. Home

I love it when I come across a home that is colorful, modern, and timeless at the same time. Nowadays, when everything seems to be in black and white, it’s refreshing to see that there are still designers who dare to take a chance. I love neutrals because they can’t go wrong; however, a colorful home is always uplifting. Architect Carmel Greer created a home that is as personalized as it’s inviting. Pink living room with contrasting upholstery, who doesn’t like pink? She kept the bathrooms and kitchen neutral and fresh while sprinkled the open spaces with modern and colorful art.

Often Designers and Architects use their own home as a laboratory by implementing design choices that clients usually reject. Carmel told ED that she put in her own house things that clients haven’t really loved. I’m sure that many clients, after seeing the result will change their minds.

A Make Me Happy Gift Guide For Toddlers And Teens

Ah to be a kid again… and have fun parents who gift us the cutest toys, chicest clothes, and most memorable experiences. To say that kids are more than ever fortunate is an understatement. As parents, we are more informed about the things that can make a difference in our child’s life, more so than previous generations. On the other hand, nothing makes a parent happier than being able to provide those aforementioned things to their children. Granted we can give them a $700 giant teddy bear or a $59 backpack, there is no better satisfaction than the joy of our children when they are happy. In this Kid’s Gift Guide you’ll find happy and exciting gifts for all the kiddos in your life.

If I were a child, I would definitely love a Toddler rattan bow chair. Teach your children the beauty of classic with this Classic Pedal Car. Oversized Teddy Bear. Mini Sailor Backpack in red.
