Clean + Neutral Living Room Shelf Styling + Decor Refresh

I got to use all of my favorite shelf styling basics on this client’s living room shelves refresh last week! We added tons of visual interest to these entertainment center shelves with layers and stacking. I like to start with placing the larger objects and books that I can stack smaller trinkets + frames on or around. Once I have these balanced, I add depth by layering frames and other decor items in front of one another.

Fall Decor Combinations For Every Style

Even though I’ve been in fall mode for a while, it’s finally OFFICIALLY fall! Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite fall pieces and put them together by style to help you visualize your fall home decor. Fall decor doesn’t have to be pumpkins or plaid- a home refresh this time of year can be as simple as swapping out a few brighter pieces for warmer tones and textures. These little moodboards are perfect for helping you visualize these pieces together and how they could be incorporated into your own home decor based on your style! Which style is your favorite? Shop all these pieces together below!

Bachelor Pad Dining Room Project

Bachelor Pad Dining Room Project

If you’ve been following along this will be the first of many “bachelor pad” updates. This summer I’ve had the pleasure of designing this entire house from scratch and I have loved the challenge. This client bought this home with no furniture but a mattress. His style is very minimal and modern and I also wanted to keep it masculine at the same time. We’ve used a lot of industrial metals, rustic reclaimed wood, and leather fabrics throughout the home. The dining room setup we pulled together is very simple but fits the space perfectly.
