Most people say they “don’t know their style.”

But that’s rarely the real problem.

The real problem is they’ve never been exposed to enough design to recognize what they love.

One of the fastest ways to develop taste is to study a design movement that had a very clear point of view.

Art Deco is one of those movements.

It wasn’t trying to be quiet.
It wasn’t trying to match everything.
And it definitely wasn’t trying to look safe.

Art Deco was bold, sculptural, geometric, glamorous, and unapologetically elegant.

Think polished stone.
Sculptural lighting.
Curved silhouettes.
Graphic patterns.
Warm metals like brass and bronze.

The result was interiors that felt dramatic, confident, and memorable.

And here’s what’s interesting.

Designers are quietly bringing those elements back into homes right now.

Not in a theme-park way.
In a refined, modern way.

A curved mirror instead of a rectangle.
A geometric rug instead of a flat neutral one.
Lighting that feels like jewelry for the room.

Small choices that instantly elevate a space.

So I pulled together some of my favorite Art Deco inspired finds that capture that feeling.

Pieces that add depth, character, and a little bit of glamour to a home.

Scroll through and tell me which one is your favorite.

And if you want me to do another round of curated finds, comment with the category you want next.

Lighting
Rugs
Mirrors
Furniture
Or vintage pieces worth hunting for.

I’ll pull the best ones.

Every dinner party ends the same way.

Five bottles of wine on the counter.
Two half-drunk.
Three forgotten.

And the hostess politely saying,
“Thank you, I’ll save this.”

But here’s the shift.

If you actually care about food, entertaining, and how a kitchen feels… you bring the ingredient.

I’ve started bringing @YayasEVOO instead.

Not because it’s trendy.
Because it’s the kind of olive oil that lives on the counter.

The bottle is beautiful.
The flavor is rich and peppery.
It gets drizzled over burrata that night… and eggs the next morning.

It doesn’t get “saved.”
It gets used.

Same price point as a good bottle of wine.
Completely different energy.

One says, “I grabbed this on the way.”
The other says, “I have taste.”

Upgrade accordingly.

Here’s how to achieve a beautiful breakfast nook without breaking the bank!!

#LTKHome #LTKmorningroutine #LTKmomlife

Are you looking to install a breakfast nook?

This kitchen isn’t bad.
It’s just unfinished.

And that distinction matters more than people realize.

Nothing here is offensive. The materials are nice. The palette is safe. But that’s exactly why the room feels like it fades away instead of grounding you. There is no focal point doing the heavy lifting.

When everything is white, smooth, and quiet, your eye has nowhere to land. Beautiful things can still feel flat if they are not anchored by contrast or a clear visual hierarchy.

One strong decision would have changed the entire room.
Two pendants to ground the island.
More contrast in a key surface.
Or simply bringing the stone all the way up the wall to finish the vertical plane.

Right now there is too much empty white space above the counters, which makes the room feel paused instead of complete. If the marble is actually porcelain, that likely explains why it stops. But even then, there were smarter alternatives. Continuing the tile from the coffee bar. Adding Spanish-style sconces or lanterns to create warmth and intention without increasing the budget.

And the biggest miss is the hood disappearing into the skylight. Instead of reading as architectural, it feels accidental. Like a piece of the ceiling is missing. Ceiling lines matter more than people think. When they are unclear, the entire room feels unresolved.

This kitchen did not need more money.
It needed clearer decisions.

Good design is not about adding more.
It is about knowing when something is finished.

If your kitchen feels like something is off but you cannot explain why, this is usually the reason. Save this before you renovate.

They also had so many games to play in the lodge! Now I’m curious to check out @autocamp Yosemite and Joshua Tree locations!

Loved this fire pit they had with smores kits. They also had a pizza oven they bring to the side of your airstream to cook a fresh pizza. A+ on the camping culinary experience at @autocamp

@autocamp is Clean, calm, thoughtfully designed. A real bed. A hot shower. And yes, there’s even a TV. Because sometimes you want to end the night with a show after pretending you’re off-grid all day.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The fact that the airstreams were renovated to look like hotel rooms made it feel luxe. No tents. No damp sleeping bags. No “why did we think this was a good idea” moments. Just nature, but elevated. Outdoorsy, but @autocamp made it chic.

Because I love nature… just not at the expense of a good bed, a hot shower, or coffee that doesn’t taste like it was filtered through a sock.

@autocamp Zion is for the people who want the magic of the outdoors without cosplaying survival. You wake up surrounded by red rock cliffs, sunlight pouring through the windows, and instead of unzipping a damp tent, you’re stepping onto a deck with a real mug of coffee in hand.

This is the sweet spot between adventure and comfort. Fire pits without the smoke headache. Stargazing without the sleeping bag regret. The feeling of being tucked into nature while still having design details that feel intentional, warm, and quietly luxe.

It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down without forcing you to rough it. Where mornings feel calm, evenings feel cozy, and the whole experience feels… considered.

Proof that you don’t have to choose between loving the outdoors and loving beautiful spaces. You can have both.

Camping.
But make it chic.

Coming home should not feel like another task.

And yet for so many of us, it does.

You walk in after a long travel day and you are immediately met with decisions.
The fridge is empty.
The dishwasher is full.
The bed feels untouched.
Your nervous system has not even landed yet and the house is already asking things of you.

As an interior designer, I think about homes a little differently.
Not just how they look, but how they support you emotionally when your energy is low.

One of the simplest ways to change everything is to design your re-entry before you ever leave.

We all know how life changing it can be to have house cleaners come once a month.
But here is the upgrade that actually shifts how it feels to come home.
Schedule them for the day before you return.

When they are there, you can take it one step further.

Have your groceries delivered during that window so everything is already put away for you.
Opening a fridge that is stocked and organized after travel is deeply grounding.

Run your dishwasher before you leave so your cleaners can empty it and put everything away.
You come home to a kitchen that is quiet and clear, not one that needs you.

And my personal favorite.
Fresh sheets on the bed and clean towels set out for you.
After a long travel day, there is nothing more regulating than being able to shower and crawl into a freshly made bed.

This is not about being fancy.
It is about allowing your home to hold you.

Design is not just about what you add.
It is about removing friction.
About anticipating the moments when you will be tired.
About setting your future self up to feel supported instead of overwhelmed.

Your home should not wait for you to catch up.
It should meet you exactly where you are.

Save this for your next trip and design your re-entry with intention.

There is something about a well-designed kitchen seat that quietly changes your habits.

Not in a dramatic “new year, new life” way.
More in a… you stop rushing through your mornings way.

You linger.
You sit instead of hovering.
You actually finish your matcha while it’s still warm.

That is the difference between a filler stool and a considered one.

I am constantly telling clients that counter stools are not an afterthought. They are one of the most used pieces in the house, and one of the easiest places to spot quality versus compromise. The weight. The balance. The way the materials feel when you actually live with them, not just photograph them.

These Canyon Counter Stools from Denver Modern fall into that rare category where modern design and daily comfort actually coexist. The craftsmanship is obvious up close. The upholstery feels substantial. The back support is real. And visually, they elevate the entire kitchen without screaming for attention.

Ordering furniture online can feel like a gamble. Too many options, too many look-alikes, and not enough honesty about quality. This was one of those decisions that immediately felt right once they were in the space.

If your kitchen is technically finished but something still feels off, it is often the seating. The pieces you interact with every single day set the tone more than people realize.

Good stools make you want to slow down.
Good stools make staying in feel intentional.
Good stools make the everyday rituals feel designed.

And yes. They absolutely make you want to make your matcha at home.

I walked into an open house for reconnaissance and immediately noticed something subtle but smart:
the island sink was placed at the end of the island.

I almost never put a sink in an island.
But if I did, this is exactly where it would land.

Most people center the sink because it feels balanced on paper. Symmetrical. Expected.
But kitchens aren’t just diagrams, they’re social environments.

A sink in the middle interrupts everything. Sightlines, counter space, conversation. Faucets become a visual barrier. Dishes end up exactly where people want to lean, gather, pour a drink, or linger mid-conversation.

When the sink moves to the end, the island becomes what it was always meant to be: a place for connection.
The counter stays clear.
The flow stays open.
The kitchen feels calmer without you knowing why.

It’s one of those decisions that never shows up in a moodboard, but you feel it the moment you step into the room. Conversations last longer. Guests stay put. The island works with the room instead of interrupting it.

It’s not about being different for the sake of it.
It’s about designing for how people actually live.

Curious, would you sacrifice symmetry for better counter conversations?
