This Table Was Designed For Your Plant Babies

Move over cup holders: plant holders are this year’s newest table accessory. No longer do plants need to placed on the floor or tucked away on a window sill, but front and center on their own specially designed space.

Florence Knoll Bassett Was a Revolutionary of American Office Spaces — In Memoriam

The design world has lost a legend. On Friday, Florence Knoll Bassett passed away at the age of 101 in Florida. An architect, designer, and proponent of humanized modernism, she changed the way we work, and produced some of the 20th century’s most iconic furniture pieces.

Rifle Paper Co. Just Launched a Gorgeous Collection of Pillows and Rugs

Fans of Rifle Paper Co. are already well-acquainted with Anna Bond’s gorgeous illustrations and for good reason. She has a way of creating images that are at once high-style and lighthearted, from her iconic florals to her travel-inspired prints. In short, they just make you smile.

And while the brand is best known for things like greeting cards, stationery, calendars, and wall art, that’s all about to change. As of October 29, Rifle Paper Co.’s collection of rugs and pillows in collaboration with Loloi Rugs is officially here. Unsurprisingly, it’s chock-full of gorgeous pieces, and the whole launch has been a passion project for Bond.

“It’s a very personal collection and I am so proud of it,” she told Apartment Therapy. “I grew up going to my Armenian grandmother’s house and she had beautiful Persian carpets in every room (some even hanging as tapestries) and I have many memories studying the colors and patterns of each one.”

Palette by One Kings Lane Just Changed the Custom Furniture Game

For years, filling your home with customized furniture has felt like an unattainable dream. First, there’s the cost: Designing your own pieces is a surefire way to drive up the price. Second, custom furniture can take an extremely long to arrive, what with the time needed to design, craft, and ship it. So, most of us go the easier route and just pick out pieces we like from brands we trust. And sure, most of the time you’ll have a few colors or finishes to choose between, but that doesn’t feel truly personal.

Enter Palette by One Kings Lane, a new platform that’s here to shake up the personalized furniture industry.

With Palette, you can choose from 15 different upholstered pieces, from headboards to chairs to a small space-friendly settee, and then get to work making it your own. The best part? Everything is under a thousand dollars and will arrive in three weeks, which is almost unheard of in the custom decor world.

The Property Brothers Have a New Furniture Line Coming to Kohl’s

If multiple television shows and having already achieved status as design TV’s top earners weren’t enough, HGTV’s Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott, still have more ventures up their sleeves. It was announced this week that the Scott brothers will offer an exclusive home decor line at Kohl’s.

These Low-Profile Sofas Will Make Your Space Feel Bigger

Choosing a couch can be an arduous process. Even after you narrow down the style and fabric, you still have to consider height. Luckily, low-profile sofas are making a comeback in a big way—and they’re ideal for transforming a small room into a cavernous escape. Dress up your living room with one of these low-slung models. You may find swapping out your tall, oversized sofa for these shorter, sleeker versions makes your space feel airy and bright.

8 Modern Tips for Styling Your Sofa

Tired of looking at your same predictable sofa every day? We’re here to help you change things up. Instead of simply placing a pillow in each corner and calling it a day, check out our favorite inspiration images and shoppable picks below for a fresh take on an age-old decor dilemma.

The Most Iconic Mid-Century Modern Pieces You Need to Know

Simple silhouettes, minimal hardware, and pared-down color palettes. Let’s face it, most design enthusiasts can spot a modern piece from a mile away. (Psst… we broke down the difference between minimalist, modern, and contemporary, if you’re not up to date!)

In 2018, almost every store has a slew of furniture and accessories that are inspired by mid-century modern classics—and for good reason. The style is contemporary, timeless, and looks good in virtually any space. But the influx of mid-century inspired pieces makes it easy to overlook the trailblazers who started the movement in the first place.

So, we’re taking you back to school—design school, that is—and breaking down the most iconic mid-century modern pieces you need to know.

CB2 Just Launched a Stylish Collection With Gwyneth Paltrow's goop

Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle company, goop, may have a reputation for suggesting and selling items so expensive most of us could only dream about buying them, but its newest collaboration is a departure from the site’s extremely affluent roots. The new goop x CB2 furniture collection just launched, and it’s surprisingly on the affordable side.

And while we’re excited to see GP pivot into the design space, we would have expected her to pair up with a luxury brand like ABC Carpet & Home, not Crate & Barrel’s more affordable sister store. But hey, after seeing the 58-piece collection we’re not complaining. Because my goopness, is it beautiful.

There are, of course, some extravagant offerings, like this $3,299 special edition shearling chair signed by Gwyneth herself (you can also buy it unsigned for $899). But overall, the collection is moderately priced and includes a range of stylish pieces with thoughtful details. Take for instance, the chinoiserie rug, which was inspired by Paltrow’s time in England.

“I lived in England—where chinoiserie wallpaper and tapestries are so prevalent—for such a long time,” Paltrow explained on CB2’s site. “To me, the motif represents a very homey feeling, which I’ve never seen on a rug before. It was really fun to transpose it off the wall and onto the floor.”

That soft, almost romantic theme carries through the rest of the collection as well. You can shop the full line on CB2.com now, but check out our favorite pieces below.
