I just gave my money to the dogs. Mistake? Let’s call it a learning moment. Beautiful rugs can be washable, durable, practical and, best of all, affordable. This one was under $100! I still buy expensive rugs but I mix them in with more dog-friendly options.

✨ Hi, I’m Loly and Lex… and I believe your home should tell your story. ✨

Welcome to my little corner of the internet — where decorating isn’t about following every trend… it’s about creating a home that feels like you.

Loly and Lex — a space inspired by cozy luxe interiors, personality-driven design, and the little details that make a house feel like home.

My style? Think:
✨ organic minimalism
✨ collected, not perfect
✨ cozy textures
✨ timeless pieces with a little personality

I’m sharing the rooms I’m transforming, the finds I’m obsessed with, the gems that actually work, and the pieces that make everyday moments feel a little more special.

Here on LTK, you’ll find everything from my favorite home staples to the exact pieces I use to create a home that feels warm, inviting, and uniquely yours.

Because the best rooms aren’t just decorated…

They’re lived in. 🤍

Welcome to Loly and Lex.
Stay awhile — there’s always something new to discover.

This is why I can’t have floating shelves. To avoid the disorganization, I love these little moments that highlight the tools I use everyday.

#LTKHome

This house is old. Like 1928 old. What it doesn’t have is a linen closet. So…we improvise. Baskets give the towels their own moment. No longer just function…a design element.

#LTKHome

No longer just a key drop. This is a key homecoming. A simple gold dish makes this a bit more interesting.

#LTKHome

Pretty fig. Dinky pot.
Let’s fix that. Larger, more substantial pot, a little reindeer moss and now we have a happy fig!!

#LTKHome

Apparently, even the dog’s allergy meds have to pass the aesthetic test. 😂
Because I’m all for real life… I just don’t think real life needs to live in an ugly plastic bottle on my pretty tray.
So I found a much prettier solution. ✨
Pretty homes. Real life. Lots of dogs. 🤎

The little container is linked in my stories if you want to copy this tiny (but very satisfying) upgrade.

#LTKHome

Everywhere I look…there’s a dog. They live here and they are allowed everywhere. My rugs have to keep up. Durable, washable, beautiful…dog proof.

#LTKHome

These are rugs you can walk all over. Texture, pattern, built for real life. You’ll be hesitant to put furniture on them.

#LTKHome

Don’t believe the myth. All of your rugs do not have to match. Mix patterns, coordinate colors and create interest. Ditch the matchy-matchy.

#LTKHome

Life of a content creator. Assignment of the day: Highlight the pretty washable rug. Reality: Three other projects going, Dachshunds in the shot. That’s life in my real home with my really amazing, affordable, washable rug.

#LTKHome

I work hard. These rugs work harder. Standing up to high traffic, Dachshunds, life. Beautiful and durable. A perfect combination. These are game changers!

#LTKHome

Found this cute little picture at Michael’s. It’s the perfect solution for that blank space by the front door. The key holder now has a companion.

#LTKHome

Sometimes, all you need is a recharge. These gallery lights are no different. Pop them off their magnet, plug them in and they are ready to light up the room.

#LTKHome

Come the end of August and I’m ready to add in some fall colors. Rich browns from this rustic pot, warm eggplant in these fall stems, cold metal and glass all get me ready for crisper air.

#LTKHome

How do you get your table scape to look collected? Mix it up! Feather placemats give texture, add silver and concrete chargers, mix up the china pattern. Not everything has to match. Save this for when you need some table setting inspiration.

#LTKHome

Come on in and have a seat. These chairs welcome you in, invite you to sit and prop up your feet. Soft and cozy to clean and modern…a look for every personality.

#LTKHome

Sometimes the simplest arrangements make the biggest statements. A large demijohn vase and simple green stems add the organic touch you are looking for.

#LTKHome

As summer begins to fade into fall, August is a time of transition. Warm colors, glass and metal help you savor the warmth of late summer days but also look forward to crisp, cool nights.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

These pictures needed their own moment. Pretty on their own but needed a bit of personality…a little dressing up. These easy to install, remote controlled, rechargeable gallery lights were just the ticket. Now we have a sophisticated gallery wall!

#LTKHome

Walking through the door should be a welcoming experience. A place to put your keys, the mail…set the day aside. This is the entryway.

#LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

Dark greens, warm browns and spicy pumpkin. These are filling my home right now. Autumn is on the way and it’s time to stock up before there’s a crispness in the air. Plus, everyone needs an ombré candle!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

These are the decisions that I am so glad I made during my renovation. The drawer microwave to free up counter space, under cabinet lighting adds the most amazing glow, the slab backsplash gives a clean and polished look, U by Moen automatic shower lets you set the temperature and the lighted mirror so I don’t look like a clown. These are the decisions I would make again and again.

#LTKHome

Holding on to the last days of summer. Fresh green beans, veggies from the garden, a glass of rose’ and outdoor dinners with friends. As the days get shorter and Fall starts to roll in, I am holding on to the sun.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome

I’m in love with this cabinet. It truly helped transform this office. Sleek black with gold hardware, dramatic arches and soft-close drawers and doors. Storage for days! Best news…it’s from Amazon so you know it’s affordable.

#LTKHome

Put your feet up. Place your glass of wine down. Coffee tables are multi-functional and their design should be, too. A little marble mood light, books to inspire, great-grandmother’s tea set and a bit of fun.

#LTKHome

Don’t go all willy-nilly with your pillows. First, go big with lots of texture like this curly number. Second, a classic with clean lines. Finally, some color and pattern. What a trio!

#LTKHome

You need art but hate making decisions. Who needs to? Just use them all! Coordinate colors, vary the textures, frames, no frames. There are no rules you can’t break.

#LTKHome

Nothing says Fall like a gigantic skeleton. He ushers in the season like a pumpkin spice latte. He might not be warm, cozy or cute but he certainly makes a statement.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

The leaves are starting to change at my favorite stores. Out with tomato sandwiches and in with pumpkin spice. This is the time of year to add warmth to your decor! Here are a few Fall Favorites to add to your cart!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

What size rug should I use?
A question I get all the time.
A rug should define the space—not fill the room.
Think of it as a frame for your furniture, not wall-to-wall carpeting. You want enough rug to visually connect the pieces, while still leaving some breathing room around the edges. A great rug anchors while providing warmth and comfort.

I’ve attached a few of my favorites

#LTKHome

This gold wire basket is so pretty! What the heck am I going to do with it?
Mail catcher? No.
Dachshund? Definitely not.
Cozy faux fur blanket storage?
Ding Ding Ding!
So many great uses from a laundry basket, pillow storage, towel holder…this list goes on.
How would you use it?

#LTKHome

I’m not ready! But it’s almost fall.
I’ll wear my flip flops as I light the fireplace candles, put out the pumpkins and curl up under the furry blanket. I can almost smell the fires burning in the cool night air, hear the sounds of the marching band at the nearby high school and taste the pumpkin spice brewing at the coffee shop. It will be here soon!

#LTKHome

Am I feeling blue? Yes, for sure.
Shades of blue add a cooling element to a room. If you want a subtle pop of color, try these finds in varying shades of blue!
