    Love gingham!! I wish I had the nerve to do a sofa in it but it’s nice to see it in photos!

    I just noticed that the curtains are gingham too! Love this.

    Also, went on J.Crew’s site and they’ve sold out of that shirt today! They were in stock this morning when I posted! I saw that dozens and dozens of you clicked on that link to J.Crew today…so hopefully it was COCOCOZY readers who snatched up all of those shirts!!

    That sofa is really interesting. I love the huge tufts in the back and the low arms. Combined with that fabric it really is quite unusual. Great find of the gingham trend!

    I ADORE gingham!!! Checks and striped of all stripes always call my name in interiors as well as fashion. Just love the b/w tufted sofa and the second shot that shows the entire room – and how about that ceiling fixture – fabulous!

    I think gingham in an understated neutral tone can be very charming, and even a little “Frenchy” looking (similar to a monotone plaid!). Thanks for sharing these photos!

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍

A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.
Save this for your next outdoor space refresh. 🍃

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎
