HOW TO: DECORATING WITH TASSELS

July 17, 2017

These days, tassels aren't the same ones hanging from your grandma's drapery panels. They recently got a major overhaul and we are loving them. Tassels are the perfect embellishment for clothing, accessories, pillows and even rugs. They come in many different colors and sizes and there are so many different ways you can use them. Today, we are sharing some of our favorite ways to use them around the home.

Is your room feeling bland and boring? Try adding some tassel pillows or throw. They add a relaxed boho-vibe to any space without looking overdone. Use small tassels to add a little bit of playfulness or over-sized tassels as the perfect statement piece. Sarah from Sarah M Dorsey Designs has an awesome DIY Anthro-Inspired Tassel Throw tutorial on her page!

Create a cozy corner by laying down a patterned rug (bonus points for one with tasseled fringe). Then add an over-sized floor pillow, like this one from Urban Outfitters. Layer planters with interesting plants on the floor or window sill to complete the look. Now, go curl up with your favorite drink and a couple of good books.

We love seeing tassels on curtains. You can easily get this look with a little DIY project. Choose a small tassel trim and sew or glue it on the edges of your curtains. Choose contrasting colors for a burst of color or similar colors for subtle texture and movement.

Get creative with your walls by hanging a cool tassel wall hanging. We love the how they used the different blue hues to create a fun Ombre feel. This is another easy DIY project that you could do in a weekend or less. Use them to fill awkward walls or hang as a headboard.

Why “Collected” Interiors Are Quietly Replacing Perfectly Matched Decor

Why “Collected” Interiors Are Quietly Replacing Perfectly Matched Decor
Interiors

What if the most beautiful homes aren't the ones that look perfectly decorated, but the ones that tell a story? We're seeing a shift away from cookie-cutter interiors and perfectly matched decor toward spaces that feel collected, personal, and thoughtfully layered. From mixing vintage finds with modern pieces to incorporating sentimental heirlooms and embracing the imperfections of everyday life, I'm exploring why a home with personality will always be more meaningful than one that simply looks picture-perfect.

A Home for Gathering: Designing a Space That Brings People Together

Lately, I've been thinking about how entertaining at home used to be a regular part of social life, from casual cocktail parties to spontaneous evenings with friends and neighbors. Perhaps what our homes are missing isn't another beautiful piece of furniture, but more opportunities to connect. I'm exploring the return of in-person conversation, simple weekly get-togethers, and how creating intentional conversation spaces in our homes can help bring back a little more connection, community, and time together.

When I think of fall, I think of falling leaves, warm caramel apple cider (or pumpkin spice for my coffee-drinking husband), apple cider donuts, pumpkins, and, of course, flannel. Like every good cozy fall read, flannel makes us feel safe and snug. This surprisingly versatile material works in most interior spaces, from traditional to modern.

The 2026 Home Decor Trend That Makes Your Home Feel More Personal
Interiors

In 2026, homes are becoming less about matching sets and more about creating a lived-in, collected-over-time style. Think Nancy Meyer’s film settings in Something’s Gotta Give, Father of the Bride, and The Holiday. Homes that emphasize warmth, personality, and feel like they are actually lived in. We are stepping away from minimal interiors in favor of natural materials like full-grain leather, hardwoods, and natural stone that develop a beautiful patina over time.

How to Create a Warm & Elegant Fall Entryway
Interiors

There’s something so inviting about decorating an entryway for fall. It’s the first little glimpse of your home, and I love the idea of creating a space that feels warm, collected, and seasonal without going overboard on traditional fall décor. This fall entryway does exactly that with rich earthy tones, layered textures, and a beautiful autumn wreath that brings the entire space to life.

How to Make an Awkward Entryway Feel Beautiful and Intentional

Not every home features a grand foyer. In fact, many entryways have angled ceilings, narrow walls, or unique architectural details that can seem more challenging than inspiring. However, I have discovered that these "awkward" spaces often hold the most potential.
