My bedroom definitely needed a little spring refresh! I'm starting with this lovely fresh white linen bedding from Quince. I love linen sheets and their fluffy, lightweight Dream Quilt is the perfect weight for spring. Next I swapped the vintage mirrors I've had here for some floral art and I took out these brass vintage lamps and tried these white funny floral ones that I actually love 😆, swapped some spring accessories… and here we have it, our bedroom that's updated for the slightly warmer days that we've been having. 🤞 Plus I love white linen bedding and this is so comfy and perfect for any season! Linen sheets are seriously amazing… Have you tried them yet?! You can get 10% off your first @onequince order with my code INFG-26SUZANNAHSTANLEY10 quincepartner LTKHome LTKSeasonal

My friend and I totally transformed her living room with so many amazing changes, but one that we debated about forever was the chairs. She tried just one, but decided we really needed a pair, but that’s expensive (and/or only available in beige)… We found this beautiful light blue woven texture armchair that’s an amazing price. It swivels, rocks, and looks so elegant!

Full disclosure, the seat cushion is not as soft and comfy as a down wrapped one would be, but again… The price is right. Plus, her kids love swiveling in these!

You guys always love a good swap… how about 4?! I’ve been helping my friend with her living room and we found these lovely upgrades from @zgallerie to take it up a notch. These lamps are HEAVY and solid, I love the natural materials of these and the tray, and the frames are classic but also catch the light so nicely. And those stems… statement! My friend likes light and calm and feminine… think we did it, right?!

I have loved white bedding since I first started decorating my bedrooms and it just can do no wrong! The trendy patterns come and go and honestly the reason isn’t that they’re better—it’s that the brands want you to keep shopping. I’ve loved my white linen sheets for years now and I keep an extra pair and different seasons of duvets and quilts (all white). It’s not boring cause it’s so pretty. Have you tried all white bedding?!
P.S. I use oxyclean for whites to keep it from yellowing or greying!

Love these cheerful new bikinis! The nautical cases are ridiculously cute, and I can’t resist gingham. On sale!

I took my regular size small in the tops (I am a 34B), did a medium in the red bottoms, and a small and the blue bottoms.

I came across some photos of my first plate walls on my blog the other day… They are seriously mortifying. 😆 I was going to include them in this reel but I’m too embarrassed. 🙈 Maybe I’ll share them in stories today. Point is, I’ve tried a lot of different methods… These hidden plate hangers are not only super solid and easy to use, but they hold the plates just the way you hang them! Linking them and these affordable hand-painted cabbage plates I’m obsessed with in LTK!

Absolutely love this incredible quality linen bedding from Quince! I’m a white bedding lover, and linen is so soft and comfortable. Quince has designer quality at very friendly prices because of their unique sourcing and inventory methods.

I have tried multiple robot vacuums in my day, and they’re never quite as good as I’d hoped. That’s why I’m so excited about the new MOVA P10 Pro Ultra Gen2 Robot Vacuum.

This one has been so much smoother and better than I could've imagined! It handles crumbs, pet hair, and all the shedding from my natural wool and jute rugs without me having to rescue it or re-run it three times. If you have kids, pets, or people with dirty shoes coming through your house, you know how big that is. It has 26,000 Pa powerful suction and 12N downward force, both way stronger than my last vacuum.

I love that it’s smart enough to navigate my house easily, powerful enough to actually pick up things the others have missed, and it's even quiet enough that I can run it while we’re home!

It vacuums, it mops, and it takes one more thing off my mental load... and it has the latest MaxiReach technology for corner and edge cleaning so it's extra thorough. It also cleans itself, with a 212 degree hot mop wash & 1-hour Eco-Dry, always ready for next use.

If you’ve tried robot vacuums before and felt disappointed, especially in a lived-in home with rugs, kids, and pets, this one might finally change your mind.

I searched and searched for wide, non-cheesy gingham ribbon in a cute green… this one is perfect! Comes in several cute colors and js a great price for 25 yards! Bows on everything. No lamp is safe. Perfect for spring, St. Patrick’s Day, even into Easter!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

In 2025 I took down at least three gallery walls 🙈. But that’s not to say groupings of things on walls aren’t good… I think we can just be more creative and find unique combinations—now that you can buy vintage-inspired art and frames in sets at the big box anyway. Let’s think outside that!

I’m obsessed with these cabbage plates a bunch of you voted no to. I love them in my dining room with the other greens and the grasscloth-ey wallpaper! Plus they are so affordable for a hand painted veggie plate! Linking in LTK and my story highlights.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I’m only half kidding. I’ve found more and more as I’ve been a happier person lately… doing small, unnecessary, slightly whimsical things change the energy of my home and therefore me and my family!

Nothing fancy, just a $13 garland and about 30 seconds of work… now when I see it I’m reminded that I can have fun and joy in my basic everyday moments.

Linking this cute one in LTK!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I’ve seen the charming aesthetic reels of “romanticizing your life” and it’s not quite this… every day suburban mom.

But I think that’s what I’m doing this year… I don’t need a European vacation, perfect morning routine, fresh flowers on a marble island… just swapping the garland over the sink for the kids makes me feel so happy and calm in my home!

So I probably don’t need to tell you how excited I am about this adorable $13 felt garland! It’s beaded! I searched high and low and found a non-ugly one I love. I think I might buy another. Linking it in LTK.

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

73% of you voted no to these cabbage plates… I still love them! I found these hand painted plates at a super affordable price and I love the charm and vintage inspired funkiness they bring to my dining room. Plus I love the warm green color next to this painting.

Plates are really an untapped decor option, aren’t they?! I stand behind this one!

Linking the cabbage plates in my LTK, they come in a couple sizes and they come in purple too!

My house is not immaculate, and there are usually toys and kid art
around, but it never looks like a bomb went off. I’m pretty sure this is why…

Two things: I set up a good system, and then I model.

1) I choose nice stuff to store our toys that’s large enough and fits in the rest of our home. None of those white plastic or melamine shelves that are too small for anything.
2) I give my kids a home where the grown-ups pick up. I don’t leave my clothes on the floor or chairs, so they’ve never seen anyone do that. I ask them to pick up their toys. (Sometimes I end up doing it, but still… Then they are used to a clean home.)

That way, we never have to do a massive deep clean, it’s always just a little maintenance stuff.

Step 1 is easier than step 2 if you’re struggling though, and it’s definitely a mindset thing… But even if you struggle with this, you can use your design brain to think of storage solutions that work for your home in the best case scenario and start there.

You guys loved this post a few weeks ago so I thought I would give you some more examples! 2026 for me is all about gratitude and celebrating the home I’ve created, not about perfection but about meaning and comfort (in a beautiful way of course).

Linking the curtains and Roman shade I love so much (I have a similar combo in several rooms, the trim on the curtains makes them so special!) and some great choices for a photo frames. You can use my code SUZANNAHSTANLEY for 25% off on the curtains and bamboo shades!

Im a purist for down comforters and natural fiber bedding, and I just found the perfect comforter to put in my basement guest room. This Sophia & William Feather and Down Comforter is cozy and warm without feeling heavy, which is exactly what I need in a basement guest room that needs some extra coziness. The box stitch construction keeps the down evenly distributed so it stays lofty and comfortable instead of shifting or clumping and it's got those corner loops to keep everything in place. And it has a super densely woven cotton fabric designed to prevent the feathers from poking through. It's also an amazing price point for a down and feather filled comforter with a cotton cover! Trust me, I can seriously nerd out about a good comforter and this one passes all the tests!

Spring decor doesn’t have to be single use! Swap out dark and heavy for light and simple and everything will feel a little fresher. I love this yellow and white striped ruffled pillow.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

My home is lovely, but it’s not my dream, and it took me years of pining and feeling frustrated with its quirks, wishing for something different, and then I realized… I can love my home just the way it is, and still want something different in the future. It’s uncomfortable for me to not have a plan laid out, but with all the turns my life has taken the past few years, I’ve gotten a little more used to that.

I’m honestly so happy living in my home now. I’ve made the changes I could, never knocking down walls or doing a full renovation but starting with a foundation I liked (lots of warm white paint) and then adding beautiful details.

There’s no point feeling frustrated when it doesn’t make any sense for me to have bought my dream home at any point in my life thus far! But I can do so much, and feel so grateful, with what I have.

Even if you can’t do anything to your home, not even paint, you can still hang a Valentine’s garland, pick out dishes that make you happy, get yourself some fresh flowers…! No need to wait for the perfect home.

I searched for months and could not find antique or vintage dressers or nightstands for the guest room I’m working on in my basement. I love an antique when I can find one, but it wasn’t happening!

But I finally found these charming dark wood nightstands from @hulala_home. They’re solid wood construction and have some beautiful details that make them feel perfect for this sort of vintage-inspired guest room. Plus, they have some modern conveniences, like the fact that they plug into the wall, so lamps and phone chargers can plug right into them.

They’re perfect for small, efficient spaces because not only are they nightstands, they also have three drawers for great storage. Perfect for this funny little nook in our basement that I’ve turned into a sweet, charming guest room.

These are also super affordable, linked in my LTK and in my bio!

#LTKHome

Very happy and honestly a little surprised at how cute this room turned out! It’s a basement so I didn’t have high hopes… I threw something together before Christmas, but it needed a little bit more cohesive planning, including better nightstands, lamps, and styling… And the all white bedding really helped to make it not feel thrown together! Plus, is there anywhere a jute rug doesn’t look good? I seriously can’t think of anywhere.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

The other day I shared this vintage floral Ethan Allen chair in stories and got some questions. But I can’t link it! I’ve found a great balance of vintage/antique and custom or otherwise new in my bedroom and I love it so much.

#LTKHome

I shared recently I’m excited to decorate for little holidays throughout the year like Valentine’s Day and Easter. One of you pointed out that St. Patrick’s Day and is next and I was like… Oh crap… That doesn’t sound as cute. Ideas welcome😂❤️

#LTKHome #LTKValentine #LTKSeasonal

I heard this advice years ago and have thought about it plenty since… The idea is white is a great background for a beautiful, often colorful things. Like an art gallery, with large, plain walls that allow the art to shine.

I love my classic white kitchen, but I also love my peachy pink bedroom… What do you think?!

Linking some Valentine’s Day decor faves in LTK.

#LTKValentine #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I’ve resolved to be a more fun mom and turns out it’s fun for me, too! I started small with gingerbread house plates at Christmas, but I am leaning in lately and we are all loving the cute, seasonal decor, even in a dark, sad, rainy season like winter. The pink and hearts really bring joy!

Rounded up my favorite Valentine’s plates, mugs, and other simple additions in this post!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

Here’s ago I cohosted a design podcast and every year I would get excited about researching the trends for the next year. I would pore over articles and come up with what I thought was a good summary that made sense for the design community here on Instagram.

But it’s different now… It feels like everything has been done before, which means we’re coming back to the best of the best.

2026 design is leaning into depth over drama:
• Pattern drenching that feels layered and cohesive, not loud
• Nostalgia and memory as a design direction — pieces that feel familiar, comforting, and collected over time, or our beautiful to you because of a memory
• Handmade and artisan details that add texture, variation, and soul
• Rooms that feel collected, not styled all at once
• Atmosphere over visual impact — how a space feels to live in matters more than how it photographs!

None of this is about chasing what’s new. It’s about creating rooms that hold meaning, feel lived in, and get better the longer you’re there. It’s not hard to do, but we sometimes get away from it with the temptations of Target and HomeGoods fast home fashion.

If your home feels calm, layered, and a little nostalgic, you’re not behind in design trends, and I bet your home feels wonderful, too!

#LTKHome

I keep seeing “2026 trends” pop up, and what makes me smile is how many of them are about keeping instead of replacing.

These are the design directions showing up everywhere right now, and they all happen to be things I’ve slowly layered into this house over time:

• Soft tailoring over minimalism (pleated linen curtains, added details like trim and piping)
• New traditional that feels relaxed, not precious
• Natural materials that age well instead of looking perfect on day one
• Warm whites paired with warm metals, especially in kitchens
• Full wallpaper as the new statement wall, used to create atmosphere instead of a moment
• Collected spaces that feel lived-in rather than decorated all at once

None of this required a big refresh or chasing something new. It’s the kind of design that rewards patience, good bones, and choosing things you actually love living with.

Trends come and go, but homes built this way tend to feel good for a long time.

If you’re saving this, you’re probably already doing more “right” than you think 🤍

I helped my friend update her living room and I am shocked at the change the rug made!

Before, it wasn't the style she wanted for her home and we needed a bigger rug. Enter this thick cozy lovely wool rug from @joonloloi in a large enough size for this room. She would love to replace the carpet with hardwood floors but until then a big rug makes the whole room feel bigger and intentional.

We have a lot of light colors and beiges in here in different tones and somehow they all work together really nicely and a comfortable rug in this sturdy wool adds a great feel of quality.

For a while I thought the curtains were the biggest change in this room but now I think it might be the rug, what do you guys think?! So here's your reminder that a great rug is an essential foundation for a room update!

#LTKHome

I love changes for my home that are beautiful AND bring me joy. I’ve learned that by upgrading things that I use everyday, I honestly feel luxury even with a simple home!

1. Frame family photos (iPhone ones are fine! I do a mix of color and b/w). The trick is to order them online, not from Walgreens, for good photo quality, and use tabletop frames instead of wall ones for the most part for a more relaxed and grown-up feel.

2. Organize something that’s driving you crazy. I looove this tea box and it’s so much better than dealing all the little boxes! But tackle whatever is bugging you most. Having one success will give you energy for the next!

3. Poly pillow inserts are sad and flat. Down ones are so much nicer and more fun to sit with and scrunch. Plus they look better. I recommend inserts with 100% cotton covers, and go 1-2” larger than your pillow cover for a fuller look.

4. Flag Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, whatever… get fun napkins, plates, flowers, etc. or garlands like I did for Valentine’s Day this year. I thought I’d do it for the kids but I actually love it myself. 🙌

Here’s to loving our homes ❤️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I’ll admit I’m not usually a Valentine’s Day decor person but this year after Christmas it felt too bare and boring. Adding cheerful colorful felt garlands and eating snacks off heart plates has brought some joy.

Plus, after Christmas, decorating for all the other holidays feels like a freebie, right?! So easy!

I’m linking some fave heart decor and kitchen goodies for you below. Fun for the kids and for you. 💕❤️

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I struggled with this wall for the longest time! I wanted to provide storage but couldn't find something long enough. Finally I found this incredible beautiful oak furniture piece from Hernest. Lots of solid wood details, plus it came fully assembled except for the hardware. I love displaying our family photos on top of it too. The warm tone works really well with my living room, and they have several beautiful wood choices that work in lots of different styles, all super affordable.

So happy to have this elegant toy and book storage!

#LTKHome

I’m usually not a big Valentine’s Day decor person, but I’m having fun this year in part to my five-year-old’s enthusiasm. It feels good to put up some cheer after taking down the Christmas stuff! Loving garlands, ribbon on everything, and a little quirkiness. Linking some favorite decor pieces and dishes we’ve been using for the kids snacks!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Wearing basically the exact same outfit as yesterday with a different color of the same ribbed tee underneath. Guess I know what I like.

This cozy merino wool blend sweater is lightweight but so cozy. I just ordered it in the pink (extra 60% off sale). These high waisted wide leg jeans are my absolute favorite and I own in several colors; I cut these ones off for an easier cropped length. I often get compliments IRL!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKmomlife

At the end of each year I order a bunch of iPhone photos in nice quality prints and get a bunch of silver and pretty frames to frame them around the house. I honestly sometimes just can’t believe that this is my life and I have these two wonderful children so I get a little sappy but I loooove being able to frame these memories and show them off in a pretty way.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like the trend of family pictures on the wall is kind of tired… but now tabletop frames are back! And they are so fun and charming.

Get frames that you love and photos that you love and bring yourself some extra joy every time you look at them!

I order my photos from @mpix; I’ve heard @nationsphotolab is great too. I get frames at estate sales, thrifting, and HomeGoods. Linking some great choices here.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

This cozy merino wool blend pointelle cardigan is so cute and 60% off the sale price. Now I’m thinking I should’ve ordered the pink, I might order another! It’s so soft!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

I’m not sure if they’re 2026 decor trends or resolutions or just ideas, but these came to me as I was thinking about how I love my home more than ever these days and I hope you can, too.

You find your joy but for me, lately it’s been:
- Family photos in classic silver tabletop frames (remember when we shunned tabletop frames? I used to have zero)
- The curtains that took me a year to pick (but now I have in three rooms with slight variation)
- Antique and vintage ones but, like, nicer ones. Not shabby farmhouse, but classics I feel like a grownup when I buy ❤️
- Celebrating when I come home. My home is right for me and my family; isn’t that an incredible thing?!

What are you doing in your home this year?! 👏

So excited for this reveal because this room has come such a long way. My friend's living room was just not giving the style that she wanted for her fun family-friendly home.

First I taught her to wallpaper: we covered the entire walls in this lovely little floral pattern from A-Street Prints.

We replaced the builder blinds with these lovely natural bamboo roman shades and linen curtains (use my code Suzannah26 for 26% off!), added a much larger wool rug, of course some fun accessories including white and brass and gold, and some warm wood and bamboo and rattan tones because there were so many light colors in here.

My friend loves a light and fresh style and this is her front room so it's very important for it to feel welcoming and like her. We are so happy with how this room turned out and love the texture the wallpaper added!
