How to Create a Cozy, Neutral Home

We’ll forever be swooning over cozy, neutral spaces. They bring a sense of calmness that we all seem to be craving in today’s chaotic world. Below I shared one of our most recent stylings and shared some tips and sources so you can create beautiful spaces, too!

1. Add Warmth Through Furnishings

In order to create a balanced, natural feel, it’s important to start with a base of neutral furnishings with warm finishes. The antique brass in this floor lamp and the rattan materials in these living and dining room chairs bring touches of warmth to the space.

2. Incorporate texture

Woven texture can bring the entire room together. Add knitted pillows to spaces that need a touch of softness, and opt for a woven cream rug in larger spaces like your living room or dining room. Placing pampas grass as a centerpiece is a great way to add a touch of neutral earthiness to your space as well!

3. Add Contrast

Finally, add contrast to your space! You can do this with painted black trim or black windows, mixed-metal pieces (such as a chandelier or side table), and earthy touches like an artificial olive tree.

Be BRIGHT ✨ My 9 yo daughter (Gabby) is the brig Be BRIGHT ✨ My 9 yo daughter (Gabby) is the brightest person I’ve ever met. Everywhere she goes and with everyone she is with—she brightens things up! She never lets circumstances or people bring her down—she lifts everything and everyone up. Nothing around her determines who she is going to be—what’s inside of her is far too bright to be changed. I want to be like Gabby. Friends, the world will brighten up when you and I bring the beauty that’s inside of us OUT—rather than conforming to the chaos ❤️ Sending all my love! XO

{ GIVEAWAY } 🎉 I’m so excited to start 2021 w { GIVEAWAY } 🎉 I’m so excited to start 2021 with gifts for you! —I LOVE giving gifts 💖 When I wrote our design book, Divinely Designed - a Beautiful and Functional Home, I got really candid on how it is the function of a woman’s heart that truly makes her home beautiful. My prayer for you in 2021—may your heart be renewed after 2020’s chaos—may beauty + VICTORY be realized in your heart and home. Also! Girl, I get you and I got you—it would be nice if 2021 brought some renewal to health & beauty—as 2020 seemed to take a bit of a toll on those areas 🤪 With that, I’m going to get really loud in this new year about how important natural beauty products are—as I’ve learned the hard way—beauty truly comes from good health. With that, I’ve partnered up with one of my favorite natural beauty companies { @aster_and_co } to giveaway a bundle of my favorite things & two copies of Divinely Designed—one for you and one for a friend 🥳 Entering is easy:
1. Love this post
2. Tag a friend 
*Giveaway closes on 1/7. 
XO!
