Somehow the winter season just flew by. Not that I’m complaining. I love everything about spring. A new season means new home decor trends. And while we are staying home, it’s a good time to experiment with new seasonal decor. This spring is all about being bright and playful. Invite new colors into your space that add new energy.  My team at Chirpyest is predicting 3 home decor trends that you need to know. Check them out in the blog below.

Colorful Tableware

We are predicting colorful tableware this spring. That’s right ditch the boring and basic plates that only serve their purpose. Instead, replace it with fun and colorful glassware and dinnerware. Home decor is becoming more of an art form and has always been a way of expression. While the thought of more as a purposeful area of the house, we think tableware will be the new star of the show this spring.

A new season means new bedroom decor…right? I’m switching out some of my cozy bedroom throws that I use for the winter season with new finds. I’ve been on the hunt for muted throw pillows. I want to transform my primary bedroom into a dreamy oasis for spring. I pulled some home decor finds that I discovered while browsing Bloomingdale’s.

Style Tip #1:

Switching out throw pillows is an easy decorating hack to transform a room. If you don’t feel like spending a lot of money on decor then just buy a few new decorative throw pillows. It will change up the vibe of your room.

Venetian plaster is making a comeback. If you’re tired of the basic drywall, then try elevating your space with Venetian plaster. It requires a skilled painter and a slightly bigger budget. However, the results will leave you inspired. Bare white walls have become the new norm in interiors. Now, interior designers have been incorporating the decorative finish in their modern designs. It warms up a clean space that is missing texture. I went on a deep dive to find some of my favorite rooms that feature Venetian plaster.

The featured image above is a beautiful modern living room. Vanessa Alexander and Colin King styled this modern space with neutral tones. Vanessa designed her dream home in malibu. She wanted a balance of contemporary and rural decor. She chose plaster walls that flows throughout her living area.

Getting motivated to take on a new project is difficult…I know! A new year means a fresh start. Most people spend January focusing on themselves and being healthier in the new year. I think your environment is also important. Set the mood for the year with an updated kitchen. Remodeling a kitchen can be expensive. Although, kitchens are the best room to renovate to increase resell value–sometimes it’s just not financially feasible to drop thousands of dollars on remodeling your kitchen. The kitchens that we see on social media are usually luxurious and use high-quality finishes. Just because you don’t have the time or money to do a full renovation now, doesn’t mean we can’t give our kitchens a less invasive facelift. I’ve searched the internet for the best tips and tricks to easily enhance your kitchen in 2022.

A winter home designed for an art collector. The chalet is extravagant. It’cozy. It has stunning views of the French mountain village of Megève. The space is the perfect winter getaway for every ski lover and winter enthusiast. Interior designer, Elliott Barnes, collaborated with his client, Hélène Nguyen-Ban, to create a contemporary home that is the perfect canvas for her large collection of art. Hélène’s taste is minimalistic and sophisticated. Barnes’ didn’t want this home to be another typical chalet. He wanted to elevate the contemporary ski chalet design and combine it with his client’s passion for the arts. The final result is truly unique. I haven’t seen anything like it before…have you?

I hope you all had a cozy and joyful holiday. I’m still in the Christmas spirit. That’s probably due to the fact that I set up my holiday decor just last week. While on an Instagram deep dive, I came across Ken Fulk’s latest design. This whimsical Vail, Colorado home looks like the perfect setting for a holiday movie. He incorporated all of the holiday essentials like checkerboard floors and plaid upholstery. Pops of reds and greens are seen throughout the chalet. His clients wanted a cool winter getaway that their kids can enjoy.

This Los Angeles pad has the perfect balance of glamour and livability. I would swipe right on it. Tinder co-founder Sean Rad and fashion designer Lizzie Grove Rad, are the owners of this beautifully unique space. It features high-end finishes and eclectic art which adds a playful surprise. They teamed up with interior designer Jane Hallworth to elevate their home. Sean loves minimalistic style designs and obscure art and furniture. Hallworth was able to bring his dream to life while making it look warm and inviting for their family and guests.

This Mediterranean living room will bring you back to medieval times. I’ve always loved castles and old architecture. When I came across this living room on Instagram, I knew I needed to do a deep dive on this home. The gorgeous structure was designed by architect, Ryan Street. The design team drew inspiration from Spain and France. Their goal was to combine medieval architecture with modern designs. The details and finishes consist of, steel windows, stone walls, and large wooden beams. Believe it or not, this home is actually located in Texas.

If your family is anything like mine, then they’re always gathered around in the kitchen for Thanksgiving. It doesn’t matter the occasion. I always try to create a beautiful tablescape to host my guests, but they somehow always end up in the kitchen. Does this happen to anyone else? It makes sense since a kitchen is the heart of the home. And it’s also where the food is…LOL.

I’m starting to prep for Thanksgiving. I’ve been looking for tablescape essentials, home decor, and last-minute kitchen accessories. I was thinking about setting up a coffee, espresso, and tea bar in the kitchen. People always enjoy a treat after dinner. Personally, I love a warm cup of tea at night. It’s the perfect way to end my day. While shopping for myself, I’ve gathered some Thanksgiving essentials for all of you.

Does anyone else think dining rooms deserve more praise when it comes to interior design? While scrolling on Instagram, I always come across beautiful kitchens and unique living rooms. Kitchens usually get the most likes on social media. However, dining rooms can be just as beautiful. Anthology Interiors designed this gorgeous bohemian dining room. The team kept the decor very minimal, but everything has a purpose. The green throw pillows complement the botanicals and plants around the room. While the two lighting fixtures are the main stars. I was able to find a few similar ones at Arhaus. The wall art matches the off-white colored walls. I love this technique because it adds texture without being too bold.

The art of making a fantastic show or movie isn’t just about great characters. It needs an iconic setting. Whether that is in an apartment with six friends or inside an old mysterious mansion. A movie or tv show will have a lasting impression if the character’s home is memorable. I recently toured one of my personal favorites, the Beverly House that was featured in The Bodyguard. It is a Spanish Colonial Revival with a gorgeous garden and pool. It was a cool experience to tour an iconic location. It was also hectic because I kept being asked to stop taking videos of the house. I couldn’t resist! I highly recommend going on tours of famous homes from movies and tv shows. Just be more discreet with your phone than I was.

The photo above is known as the Wollaton Hall located in England. Several movies have filmed on location including The Dark Knight Rises and Netflix’s Princess Switch. Wollaton Hall was built by Sir Francis Willoughby between 1580 and 1588. The hall is also the host for the Natural History Museum.

Check out my other blog to get a tour of the Beverly House.

Former professional hockey player, Mike Green and his wife Courtney, took on a renovation project back in 2017. After playing ten seasons for the Washington Capitals, Mike wanted to settle down in the city with his family. They were open to the idea of a full renovation project. When they found a rundown 1914 townhouse located in the Kalorama Triangle neighborhood, they felt like it was the right fit.

With the help of celebrity interior designer, Jeremiah Brent, they were able to transform the space into the home of their dreams. The structure features large windows and skylights allowing a flood of natural light. The home is bright and clean but features neutral textures and details. The custom white oak floors and Italian Paonazzo marble kitchen were the two key elements that elevated the townhouse.

There is something nostalgic about Craftsman homes. An American architectural staple that became mostly used between 1900 and 1929. Craftsman homes use a variety of natural materials to achieve their overall design aesthetic. I had the amazing opportunity to explore the home of Chris Erric Maddox and Thomas Renaud. The home is located in Altadena, California.

The home was built in 1925, but now features modern touches like Clare Paint and Stoneland USA countertops. Maddox and Renaud kept the original charm of the Craftsman style design but gave it a modern twist. The renovation and design changes started at the end of April 2021 and finished just under six weeks in May 2021.

These photos have already been seen on my Instagram Stories. I decided to do a poll about Montecito homes. I’ve always loved the architecture in the Santa Barbara area. The homes are massive and beautifully designed. The poll did so well, which I didn’t expect. I received DMs about how much my followers enjoyed it. There is something special about Montecito. That’s probably why so many celebrities are making the move. Below you will find the most liked homes from my poll. I even pulled one must-see room from each home for more interior design inspiration.

The image above used to be owned by Rob Lowe. He made the move to Montecito over 26 years ago. He built this lavish colonial-style home and lived there with his family for 14 years before selling it. Rob and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, have invested in many different properties in the area.

October is almost over which means the holidays will be here before we know it. Recently, I overheard a discussion about shopping earlier for the holidays because of the pandemic. Companies are still having shipping delays and are low on inventory. It made me think that I probably should order the things I know I’ll need now. It’s better to get holiday shopping out of the way anyway. Less stress for us later and more free time to spend with our loved ones! Check out my list of essentials to help prepare you for the holidays. Whether you’re looking for a new skillet or napkins for Thanksgiving, I have got you covered.
