Approximately five years ago, back in 2018, we bought our home. To make a house a home, it’s a must that you fill it with all your favorite furniture pieces and decorations. I am going to tell you all about my home decor favorites that helped turn our house into a home. All the items that I share were purchased over time, because it gets extremely pricey to try and buy everything at once. For the “Mid-Century Modern” vibe that I chose to design my home, I often referred to Wayfair, Amazon, and once in a while, IKEA. Lets get into it!
furniture
chaviv upholstered armchair (set of 2)
These gorgeous upholstered chairs we got from Wayfair are a must have! With polyester being one of the easiest fabrics to clean, these armchairs have been a lasting staple in our home. We chose the color white, and it could not go better with our aesthetic.
Modway envision 70” Entertainment tv stand
Our TV stand has such a great aesthetic that adds flavor to our home. It is modern and simple, yet so functional. The cabinets make for great storage for remotes, cable boxes, smart devices and more tools that you may need for your television. Depending on your TV size, there is plenty of space to add decor items like small plants, statues and more!
northside coffee table
We bought this coffee table in the color "White Wash Patina" and we are so in love with out choice. It's not too big in size but it's not too small either. It is stain and scratch resistant, so it the investment was worth our while.
metal skinny console table
If you don't have a skinny console table, then what are you doing? We have ours sitting behind one of our sofas and it really helps complete the vibe of my living room. You can put nice decor pieces on it to match the vibe of your home. Things like a stone bowl to put keys or other daily-use knicknacks in. Or even those cute artsy sculptures that bring a sense of personality to your home. Whatever you put on it, it serves as extra space and a statement decor piece.
jiquan 35” bar Cabinet
So we know that bar carts were trending recently in the past year, but for us, this piece just made sense! No matter how big your home is, you always want to save some space. This bar cabinet fits right in the corner and serves its purpose well. Sometimes we want to fill those corner spaces with artificial plants or a basket full of blankets, but I am adding another option to that lineup with the bar cabinet. While I totally love the idea of the bar cart, the bar cabinet does come with some perks. If you like a spotless look, the benefit of the cabinet is that you don't have to see what's in it!
carpets & rugs
luxe weavers 8x10 abstract area rug
Aside from its stunning appearance, this rug comes with other great features that make it useful. It’s advertised as a non-shedding rug, that is easy-to-clean. It’s good to vacuum and spot cleaning should only take a few minutes if you happen to have an accident. The pile on the rug is medium, so it delivers a decent cushion when walking on it.
unique loom trellis frieze collection area rug
We got this rug in the “Geometrics” pattern in the colors ivory and gray. Something about the neutral colors lately really make up the whole modern day aesthetic, and I’m here for it! We got this in the size 5x8 and it fits perfectly under our dining room table.
picture frames & wall decor
Frametory 12x16 picture frame with mat (2 pack)
frametory 16x20 picture frame with mat (1 pack)
These frames help give your home class and fit the “clean” aesthetic. We purchased the frames with a white border and an ivory mat. The 12x16 frames fit a 8.5x11 photo, and the 16x20 fits an 11x14. If you want to elevate your living room, hallway, or bedroom’s look, make sure you grab these!
ballucci modern ledge wall shelves (set of 4)
Coming in a variety of sizes, these wall shelves are so cute! Floating shelves bring life into spaces without taking up too much of the space. If you need another idea other than putting up picture frames or other wall art, you can always get wall shelves to help you expand your options. You can put items like small plants, sculptures, and photographs. There’s so much you can do with these and it allows you to maximize your decorating space.
desenio wall art
I did a collaboration with this brand a little while back and they did not disappoint! They have a ton of trending and stylish wall art for you to choose from to match the vibe of whatever room you’re decorating. Their options range from posters & prints, canvas, picture frames, gallery walls and more! Check them out if you’re in need of unique art that you can’t find anywhere else.
decor items
brightech logan arc floor lamp
This lamp is so modern and such a beautiful piece that really catches your eye. It’s about six feet tall and hangs above our ___. Being such a big piece that literally hangs, safety is an important factor to consider when searching for this style of lamp. The best part about this is that we feel very secure, especially with our baby around, that this lamp will hold still in its place. It is sturdy with good support so you don’t have to worry about it!
Nathan james theo 5-shelf modern bookshelf
Okay, another extremely aesthetic piece. This ladder bookshelf is such a classy piece. It can be, and should be, mounted to the wall for sturdiness and it’s ready to be decorated. If you’re a bookworm, you can go ahead and put the item that the bookshelf was made for. But if you’re not, this is a great place to keep your hard-earned diploma, some nice art pieces, photos of you or your family, and literally so many other things you can put on bookshelves these days. Maybe throwing in a book or two won’t hurt!
MAIN + MESA MODERN BOHO PLANTERS WITH STANDS (SET OF 2 SIZES)
stratton home decor white and gold plant stand
These metal plant stands are good for a couple reasons. One reason is simply to add more to the plant that fits your desired decor style. The other reason is so that you don’t have to spend so much damn money on those tall trees. Hear me out, those artificial trees can get so expensive, costing more than we sometimes are willing to pay for something that just sits there looking pretty. With these plant stands, you can find a more affordable plant that isn’t as tall, but still put in the same places you imagined that tall fig plant you were planning on buying.
tatami floor pillow sitting cushion (2 count)
Initially these were used for a cute outdoor picnic that my husband and I had. However, we repurposed it and brought them inside. As you all might recall, we had a babygirl. If you don’t recall, make sure you go back and read that blog! Since having Emma, we use these little cushions for comfortability when we play with her during tummy time. I mean, even if you don’t have kids, theres a moment in time where we all sit on the floor at some point, these come in handy to prevent having a sore bottom!
I hope that you all found this blog useful in gathering inspiration for your next home decor project! Comment and let me know all about your favorite pieces and ideas. For easy shopping, visit my LTK or check out the shop the post in this blog!
