On the Farm

When we think of farmhouse, we think of farm animals, of course. Don’t go overboard, but a simple animal-inspired object like this white ceramic pig can add a tremendous amount of charm. We infused this neutral vignette with a punch of color by mixing in a vase of dried boxwood greenery.

Cozy Up

Add a larger object to the bottom shelf to anchor the design. A large, wood basket is perfect for keeping black and white-patterned pillows and blankets on hand for when you're ready to get cozy.

Look No. 3: Coastal Calm

Who doesn’t love the beach? Coastal style is light and airy and transports you right to the shoreline, no matter where you live. Classic elements include light colors like white and shades of blue, glass, wood and other natural textures you would find near the sea. Start with a natural-colored jute rug to add a dose of texture to your space.
