Can you believe the end of summer school is here?! What a great ride! I loved sharing my tips for styling entries, bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens to create rooms that you can enjoy season after season.
One thing I'm seeing a lot in kitchen styling is making it feel and look like another living space. That's where you see lamps coming into kitchens and a lot of wood floors being extended into kitchens. We put a whole desk in our kitchen! There's art on the wall, picture lights, candles. Because it's a place that people spend a lot of time in, people are opting into decor they usually wouldn't have in the kitchen.
Something else I've seen recently that is blowing my mind is actually is no kitchen pendants! I see these big branches in vases on their kitchen island instead! Some designers have been opting instead for miniature little flush mounts all over their ceiling, and it's a traditional English look that I've been loving.
I've always struggled with how to style the really long island in my kitchen. The answer always comes back to this: fewer, large items look better on the counter. It's easy to get lost by filling up your counters with anything you can find. Choose one area that you want to style and stick with that. There's so much beauty (and mood-stimulating calm) in clean countertops!
To give you a look into what I've saved lately, here are some Instagram posts that have me drooling:
