Like all the best trends—velvet furnishings, pastel kitchen appliances, even low-carb diets—animal prints have cycled in and out of style over the years (and centuries). At times they’ve been perceived as luxurious and expensive, at other times tacky, outdated, and even a little scandalous, but they never truly leave the cultural lexicon (most recently, Tom Ford’s 2018 Fall Ready to Wear Collection relied heavily on those wild patterns).

After waiting with bated breath as countless paint companies announced their COTYs, Pantone, the preeminent color authority (at least when it comes to hype), finally announced their choice for the 2019 Color of the Year: Living Coral. It’s a vibrant, tropical, almost neon shade that marries the best parts of pink and orange in one eye-catching color.

Sure, Black Friday may get most of the attention when it comes to seasonal shopping, but it’s Cyber Monday when you can really score some of the best deals of the year—all without having to actually enter any stores. See All Our Coverage Of The Biggest Sales Week Of The Year Here This year, H&M is getting in on the Cyber Monday fun by offering 30% off everything plus free shipping. You don’t even need to enter a code, the discount will automatically be applied at checkout.

Come this time of year, it seems like tiered sales are an almost constant. You know, those promotions where you can take a certain amount off your total once you reach a minimum spend? The trick to getting the most bang for your buck in those scenarios is keeping your original total as close to the minimum as possible. That way you maximize the discount.

You know what they say about rugs? They really tie a room together. Okay, maybe that’s just The Dude—shout out to “The Big Lebowski”—but he wasn’t wrong. There’s something about the addition of an area rug that makes a room feel thoughtful and fully put together. See All Our Coverage Of The Biggest Sales Week Of The Year Here The only downside? Sizable rugs can be very pricey. That means when a sale on rugs come around, it’s time to get shopping.

Buying gifts for the people you love should never be a stressful experience, but as the season ramps up and stores get more and more crowded with other shoppers that’s exactly what it becomes. Luckily, we live in a digital age so shopping in person is definitely not a necessity. Instead, we have the luxury of slipping into our comfiest clothes, pouring ourselves a nice glass of wine, and shopping from the luxury of our sofas.

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.

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.

IKEA is getting in the festive spirit early this year by launching its winter collection before the craziness of the holiday season really starts. The Swedish home store recently released the first images of the collection, with promises that they’ll hit stores this month, October 2018. The collection is stocked with everything you need to get you home (and yourself) holiday-ready, from gift wrap, to wreaths, to tree decorations, and celebratory tableware.

It’s no secret that Amazon is a great source for budget-friendly home decor. They carry a seemingly neverending array of furniture, accessories, and tchotchkes, many of which are available with two-day shipping for Prime members. And no matter what your personal style—Scandi, mid-mod, boho, minimalist—there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. But with thousands of items to slog through it can be tough to know where to start.

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.

During my high school years in Ohio, it never truly felt like summer until my friends and I celebrated the season with out first stargazing party. About 20 of us would make the drive from the city to our friend’s house in the country. Out there the houses were separated by large swaths of land and there were few street lights, so the stars shone so bright it almost felt like daytime.

There was a time when matching bedroom sets were de rigueur. If your bed frame, dresser, and nightstand didn’t match perfectly well, did you even have a bedroom? Alas, those years are far behind us, and now, full-on bedroom sets just feel too matchy-matchy. You’re much more likely to find bedrooms decorated with items that complement each other, but aren’t the exact same style, which gives you the chance to add your own personal style to the mix.

I’ve waxed poetic about my fondness for carts in the past, so I’m always on the lookout for the latest (and most stylish) option. I just love how functional they are in small spaces, and the multitude of ways you can use them throughout your home. So it’s no surprise that this sleek cart from Amazon’s Rivet line caught my eye. I love the accordion-inspired sides, the metallic finish, and the fact that it has wheels and a handle. And the best part?

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall,” at least according to Jordan Baker in “The Great Gatsby.” And while that might be the slightest bit hyperbolic, the changing of the seasons is always a great time for a refresh. Especially when it comes to home decor.

If you still think of Urban Outfitters primarily as a clothing store, it’s time to think again. The hipster-favorite actually sells an impressive array of furniture and decorative pieces—bonus points for stocking a ton of small space-friendly finds—and it’s one of my favorite places to look for on-trend accents for my apartment. The only downside? Some of the pieces feel just a little pricey. But not today!

It’s been a big month for IKEA. First, the beloved Swedish furniture company debuted their 2019 catalog in stores on August 1, and now, they’ve released a slew of new products (some of which make an appearance in said catalog) that look surprisingly high-end. Of course, IKEA’s always been on top of the trends, but for a budget retailer some of these products really took me by surprise with their luxe touches and expensive appearance.

Bedrooms are highly personal spaces, so it’s no surprise when people dedicate a lot of time and effort into making sure the decor is perfect for their needs. I moved into a new apartment last month and have spent the past few weeks tweaking my styling, trying out different layouts, and rearranging just about everything. The only constant? The plush, geometric rug that sits under my bed.

The 2019 IKEA Catalog is the gift that just keeps on giving. Beyond serving up tons of eye candy, painting ideas, and new collections, the IKEA catalog is a great place to go for a sneak peek at the home trends that will take the decor world by storm in the coming year. Ahead: A look at a few of our favorite home trends we spotted throughout the catalog. Get ready to see these everywhere in 2019.

The right accessories can really make or break your living room. Sure, the big ticket items—your sofa, rug, chairs, etc—are what set the tone in the space, but it’s the littler pieces that really make it feel like you. Your side table and its accompanying lamp may not feel like the centerpiece of the room, but that doesn’t mean you should sideline this important design aspect.

There’s nothing quite like finding the perfect vintage piece for your home. It can immediately elevate your space and add a timeless touch that you just don’t get with many modern furnishings. The downside? Needing to comb through innumerable vintage stores to actually find what you’re looking for. But now, IKEA is changing the game.

The past seven days of my life have been shrouded in secrecy—like NDA-level secrecy—but I can finally open up and shout the big news from the rooftops (well, from Apartment Therapy, at least). The 2019 IKEA Catalog is officially here, and it’s a good one! Especially considering it’s the Swedish design giant’s 75th anniversary year.

In case you’ve been living under a rock and somehow missed the news: Today is Amazon Prime Day! And there are some seriously impressive deals on home goods, bulk items, beauty products, and so much more. But while we were sourcing the best deals, we couldn’t help but notice there are some well, let’s just call them interesting items on sale too. From the random to the unnecessary to the just plain confusing, these are the weirdest deals we came across this Prime Day.

There are few things as satisfying to me as shopping in bulk. There’s just something about looking at a fully stocked pantry or storage closet that makes me feel prepared for anything. Not to mention the savings! Unfortunately my car-less life in New York City means I can’t just drive over to Costco or Sam’s Club to load up on giant boxes of paper towels and freezer bags. So lately I’ve been using Amazon for all my bulk needs.

In the immortal words of Brick Tamland from Anchorman, “I love lamp.” I just don’t always love the price tags that accompany most of the lamps I fall for. Luckily, Amazon Prime Day is finally upon us, and with it comes deep discounts on high-style lamps from some of our favorite Amazon home brands: Rivet and Stone & Beam. Starting July 16 at 3 p.m. EST, Amazon is offering up to 30 percent off furniture and decor site-wide, including these lamps.

One of the best parts of being a design editor is getting a sneak peek at upcoming furniture collections and products launches before they hit stores. One of the worst? Having to keep quiet about that news until it’s public knowledge—especially when it’s something particularly exciting. So I’m truly jazzed that we can finally talk about the new Bright.Bazaar furniture line that just launched at grandinroad. Will Taylor, the blogger and creative behind Bright.

And these are our top picks.

There’s something about a well-designed kitchen that makes me want to abandon my takeout-loving ways and transform into the type of person who hosts dinner parties on the regular and whips up delectable meals with ease. Or at least someone who plays the part on Instagram. And nothing piques my interest more than a light, airy kitchen with a few pops of pastel. Coincidentally that seems to be exactly the aesthetic of most popular Instagram influencers. The secret to their style?

Interior Define may be best known as a great source for customizable sofas and chairs, but now it’s making waves in the dining room as well. The company just debuted a new fully customizable dining collection to give customers the chance to create a set that perfectly suits their style. The centerpiece of the new collection is the Hayes table, a clean-lined piece that is available in four finishes and three different shapes (round, square, or rectangle).

Target fans rejoice! The Bullseye is launching another new home brand and this time it’s all about getting back to the basics (without sacrificing an ounce of style). We already know and love Target’s other home lines—Opalhouse, Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, Threshold, and Project 62—and their personality-filled aesthetics, but Target has always been known for its basics, so we are beyond excited for the new Made By Design line.

Most fans of mid-century modern design have a good sense of which stores carry furniture that fits the retro vibe they love so much, but what if I told you there’s an utterly unexpected place to source great mid-mod finds hiding right under your nose? Walmart may be known for being a giant in the department/grocery store space, but lately they’ve really been stepping up their home game too.

We were so saddened to hear that Kate Spade was found dead by apparent suicide today. Her influence on the world of design and fashion is immeasurable and we will so miss her iconic style. From her handbags to her home goods, Kate brought delight into our lives by approaching simple items with a sense of joy and whimsy.
