interiorsThe latest trend in kitchen design is to forego upper cabinets. While scrolling on Pinterest, I’ve seen so many different kitchen designs that do not include upper cabinets. It got me thinking…do we actually need them? While upper cabinets can be sleek and white, they take up valuable real estate in the kitchen. This might not be a trend for design traditionalists to jump on. My first thought was “where do they keep their plates and glasses?” Interior designers are embracing this trend and creating kitchens that are just as open and inviting at eye level as the rest of the home. Of course, removing upper cabinets means paring down kitchenware, but minimalist approaches like those of London designer, Kerri Lipsitz, can be super helpful! Learn about the benefits of having a kitchen with no upper cabinets.

interiorsNow your average Brooklyn home tour. Every now and then a celebrity home makes me take a second look while scrolling through Instagram. Stranger Things star David Harbour, and British singer, Lily Allen, shared a tour of their Brooklyn townhouse. It’s a combination of New York charm with Italian glamour and traditional English designs. Every room incorporates unique vintage pieces and whimsical color schemes that most celebrity homes lack. It’s the complete opposite of the usual modern minimalist sanctuary we see all over social media. The standout of the Brooklyn home tour is the romantic kitchen design. Take a look below.

I discovered this small cozy kitchen in a 17th-century cottage that is featured above. The charming home is owned by Milli Proust, a floral designer in West Sussex.

interiorsBianca here! The Marketing Assistant at COCOCOZY, sharing some beautiful bookshelf inspiration. I am a bit of a bookworm and would love to style my personal at-home library one day. Bookshelves are an optimal place to decorate and show off individual styles. Aside from actual books, bookshelves are the perfect place to show off smaller decor pieces.
Personally, I love a classic sliding ladder on a bookshelf to add character. Having a bookcase or bookshelf in a room or place where you least expect it also adds a fun twist. Whether it is a hidden library or just a random room, having a shelf can bring a room together. Let’s take a look at some unique bookshelves for some inspiration below.
