West Elm Just Dropped a Vintage-Inspired Collab, and It’s Made for Apartment Living

If you loved entrepreneur and content creator Emma Chamberlain’s LA home when it went viral on Architectural Digest’s YouTube channel in 2022, I have some exciting news for you. For its first major collaboration of 2026, West Elm has teamed up with Chamberlain on an exclusive home decor collection so you can channel those California cool vibes in your own space. 

With a focus on small-space living and multifunctional pieces, the 100-plus-product-strong assortment spans several categories in the home. Many items feature bold colors, whimsical motifs, and playful touches, all of which feels very on the nose for Chamberlain, who is known for her honesty and humor. The furniture silhouettes, some of which feature loungy profiles and rounded or bullnose corners, toe the line between postmodernism and mid-century modernism, creating a collection that’s equal parts cozy and stylish, old and new. 

In the assortment, you’ll find smart storage pieces, like the electric lime Lacquer Entryway Storage Pillar and the crescent moon-shaped chair and ottoman set, alongside vintage-inspired furniture silhouettes, like the chrome-forward Mini Desk and retro-look Perforated Coffee Cart. The collection also includes several upholstered pieces, including a sofa, accent chairs, dining chairs, a platform bed, and a wingback bed with built-in nightstands. Two dining tables, a media console, and a super stylish vanity and stool set round out the offerings here, which really span nearly every room of the house. 

The lighting is super-fun, with some of it featuring slick glass construction, while the textiles are very old-school craft-inspired and nostalgic, thanks to the floral, stripe, and check patterns.

Since coffee is near and dear to Chamberlain’s heart (she has her own bean business!), her design collaborators at West Elm were sure to include some coffee adjacent items as well, including cups and saucers. 

A few whimsical, very Emma motifs also run through the entire collection, including buttons, which pop up on trays, artwork, pillows, and maybe my favorite application, oversized as a tabletop on a cute little side table.

And then there’s a pigeon, which has been turned into the most whimsical pitcher, I’ve maybe ever seen. Some of the little icons on the pillows and candles even reference Chamberlain’s tattoos!

You can shop the range in store and online now. Below I’ve assembled a few of my favorite items, but trust me when I say there’s not a bad pick in the bunch.
