Requirements to furnishing your outdoor space like a pro:

• Ground the space with an outdoor rug to achieve an elevated “outdoor living space” worthy of an instagramable moment

• Umbrella, the only anti-aging decor you can buy

• Bring in the greenery and don’t be afraid to use faux. Yes, there are faux trees and other botanicals that are outdoor friendly and can withstand direct sun and the elements. This is a great way to make your space feel like an oasis allowing you to integrate tropical foliage otherwise unsuitable for your climate.

Form or function? I challenge you to categorize these sculptural designs which seemingly defy the laws of gravity.

Per usual, a simple scroll of my Pinterest homepage led me straight down the rabbit hole about….stamps. Odd, I know.

I saw a “Pin” of an art print, a replica of a rare vintage stamp that brought my mouse to a halt. While I don’t send much snail mail, I certainly receive A LOT of it, yet realized I never took much notice of the parcel currency.

Aside from space planning, flow, and functionality, good design also integrates moments of discovery. Injecting personality in your space doesn’t have to be a huge investment and can easily be worked into your existing design.

Work these tiny sculptures into any vignette (tabletop, bookshelf, etc.) to instantly breathe new life into your space. Fit for even the most stylish of spaces, these quirky accessories are a great reminder that design doesn’t have to be stuffy; a signal to your guests - “take off your shoes, make yourself at home” and “yes, please sit on the sofa”.

Wondering how to punch up your design? Look no further; these sculptural stunners are worthy of the investment. As you choose which pieces to integrate in your room, as with any design scale is key.
