One of the best ways to welcome the new season to your home is by hanging up a beautiful wreath. Fall is one of the best times to do this, as there are so many gorgeous ones with leaves, berries, and branches.

I'm Real Homes content editor, which means that not only do I have an eye for style, but I know how to hunt down a bargain. I've spent three hours scouring the internet and have found nine beautiful wreaths that fit this brief and are highly-rated by shoppers. “Fall wreaths are a great way to bring in some fall color to your decorating, indoors or out,” says Andre Kazimierski, CEO of Improovy Painters of North Shore. “I love to incorporate them into a fall mantle display, and they will pair excellently with things like fall-themed candles, flowers, and more.”

If you're looking for fall decor buys and are searching for wreaths specifically, these wonderful picks are all beautiful options.

Labor Day weekend is upon us and many of our favorite retailers are offering big discounts and savings in their sales. And one of those is Caraway. 

So, if you’ve been meaning to invest in some new cookware and utensils or want to make the swap to non-toxic or eco-friendly options in your kitchen more generally, we’ve shopped the sale to pick out the deals that you won’t want to miss.

From the perfect bakeware set which will have you feeling like you’re on The Great British Baking Show in no time, to kitchen utensils, pots, pans, and even stylish food storage set, there are hundreds of dollars to be saved if you shop this weekend.

CARAWAY SALE NOW ON

Essentially, you can take up to 15% off and given that Caraway doesn't do sales all that often, now is the time to buy.

The brand has quickly become a staple in kitchens around the country – we’re personally big fans of their Stainless Steel Collection – thanks to their chemical-free approach to kitchenware. The majority of their products are made from a ceramic-coated non-stick, which makes them easy to clean and more durable.

So, whether you have certain types of cookware in mind or are looking for some inspiration, here are some of our top picks from the sale…

Have any of the Labor Day weekend sales caught your eye? Or what will you be buying?

When it comes to planning your move to college, creating a cozy dorm room that feels like your own is a key thing to do. It's important to get it right, which is why I recommend scooping up essentials that are cute and cozy.

One of my favorite places to scout these out is Pottery Barn Teen's dorm shop, so I've spent three hours looking through its site for essentials that will transform your space. I'm a former student and I've been writing about dorms for Real Homes for the last year and a half, so you can trust my eye for pieces that as pretty as they are practical.

If you're searching for dorm essentials that will give your new space a glow up, these are all worth checking out.

Even if you don't go for these picks, each pick represents a useful buy that's worth having on your dorm room checklist. If you are carrying on dorm shopping though, I recommend looking at Amazon dorm essentials, as they're a little more budget-friendly.

Target has currently got up to 50% off a whole host of home items in their Long Weekend Sale for Labor Day weekend. But you’ll have to act fast to take advantage of the impressive deals.

Ending on Monday, there’s up to 30% off kitchen and dining, up to 50% off rugs and larger items of furniture, and even buy one get one-half price on candles. I mean, if that does not convince you to check out the sale, we don’t know what will.

So, whether you’re looking to add some new decor pieces to update your space as we move into fall, want some design inspiration, or have had your eye on a specific item, there are lots of savings to be made. And given that there are hundreds of items on sale on their website, we’ve taken the time to pick out the best of the best so you don't miss anything.

TARGET HOME SALE NOW ON

While quite a few of the items are online only, meaning you won’t find them in your local Target store, you can have them delivered right to your front door. Not only does that take all the hassle out of wondering how you’re going to get a dining room table or several chairs home in your vehicle to drive home with them. But, as items tend to go out of stock in-store much more quickly, particularly when they’re on sale, you’ll be able to shop them with ease from the comfort of your home or sofa.

Taking that all into consideration, here are a few of our top picks…

Even though the discounts aren't quite as large on items like bedding, throw cushions, wall art, towels and storage solutions, we certainly can't say no to stocking up while they're on sale either.

What will you be shopping this weekend?

If you're packing for college, you probably have the basics like a bed, storage, and cute stationery covered. But, there are some things you might not have thought of that are absolutely worth packing.

I've been a student myself and lived on campus, so I've been in your shoes. There are some seriously surprising things that I had to buy after I moved in that I wished I'd just packed from the get-go. Professional cleaners and design pros agree that over-the-door mirrors, bedside shelves, and space-saving hangers are all useful.

For those looking for dorm essentials that will make your life easier and better, these are all worth checking out.

Surprising dorm essentials

By adding items like doorstops, handheld vacuums, and over-the-door mirrors to your dorm packing list, you’ll make your life in college a lot easier.

As someone who grew up in the California countryside, I've always had a certain fondness and nostalgia for the modern farmhouse. These homes have an undeniable charm and warmth that creates the perfect atmosphere for family and friends to gather. The key to capturing this style in your living space is to embrace natural materials, choose a soothing color scheme, and ensure there's lots of character. You can also add contemporary metal accents to help your home feel more modern. Thankfully, this timeless aesthetic isn't reserved for country folk alone—with the right furniture, colors, and décor, city dwellers can re-create this cozy, rustic style.

For starters, stick with soft neutrals and muted earth tones when choosing the color palette for your space. If you don't have exposed brick, shiplap paneling, or wooden beams at your disposal, you can look for foundational pieces that have a warm, natural feel—they'll do wonders for your space. Some options include coffee tables with cross-bracing designs, spindle-back dining chairs, and accent pieces with clean, wooden frames. Once you're set with the basics, you can start playing with texture by adding rugs and curtains, and for a little more depth, you could add those metal features I mentioned earlier.

One of the most important aspects of a country farmhouse—and my favorite feature—is a touch of vintage flair. This is how you can make this popular design style your own. I'm partial to floral décor accents—they never fail to make a home exceptionally chic and romantic.

I would be remiss if I shared all the things I love about the modern country aesthetic without also offering tips on where to buy the items you need to bring it to life. Luckily, you can shop all of these items and more at Walmart. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the prices, too.

I like summer, but I love fall. There, I've said it. I'm already ready for snug nights in, hot chocolates, and When Harry Met Sally. It looks like Anthropologie feels the same way, as its pumpkin and fall shop is officially open.

I've spent hours scrolling through Anthropologie's fall collection and have narrowed down six pumpkin buys that I think are worth shopping this season. “I find that pumpkin decor brings warmth and coziness to homes during fall, and Anthropologie’s products, such as ceramic pumpkin containers and pumpkin scented candles, capture the spirit of fall in a whimsical yet timeless way,” says Nick Chatzigeorgakis, interior designer at Intrabuild.

I'm Real Homes' content editor, which means not only do I have an eye for style, but I'm also great at finding pieces that are great value for money. If you're obsessed with fall home decor as much as I am, you're going to want to see these pretty picks.

When it comes to shopping for home decor and furniture, US brands are my go-tos in terms of style and quality.

As Real Homes' content editor, I regularly put together design and trend features showcasing the very best of these. I've rounded up the top nine US home brands  I always reach for, as well as picking out a beautiful homeware buy from each one that's a perfect example of what they're all about.

If you're looking for small space interior design ideas and want to freshen up your home with something new, scoping out these American brands is a fab idea.

US home brands I love

There are plenty of reasons to shop at US home brands and designers agree.

“Many US home brands have rich histories and traditions that reflect American heritage and values. From century-old furniture makers to contemporary artisans, these brands tell a story of resilience and creativity,” says Nina Lichtenstein, principal designer and founder of Nina’s Home Design.

She continues, “American designers and manufacturers continually push the boundaries of style and functionality, creating products that cater to diverse tastes and needs. Whether you prefer timeless elegance or cutting-edge modernity, you’re likely to find US brands that offer unique and innovative home solutions.”

I've scoped out plenty of these, as well as handpicking a beautiful decor piece from each one.

The prices below were correct at the time of publishing this article. 

Choosing furniture, decor, cookware, and more from US home brands is wonderful to do, as you can support the local economy and celebrate American innovation and craftsmanship. 

“Next time you’re looking to update your home, consider exploring the impressive array of offerings from US home brands — you might just find that perfect piece that speaks to both your style and your values,” Nina finishes by saying.

If you want to carry on looking for more great home brands, Amazon furniture brands are also chic and are budget-friendly, too.

If you're looking to get your gardening game on, now is the perfect time to get started, as Amazon's sale extravaganza has brought with it plenty of bargains, but hurry while stocks last!

So, today, I've spent over three hours looking through Amazon gardening deals for the best ones on the site.

Amazon bestsellers are always useful to search for when scouring the site, as these are picks that are approved by lots of shoppers, meaning you can rest assured when you buy them. It's also a label retailers cannot buy, meaning Amazon's software has taken into consideration the customer ratings, frequency of purchase and how it performs in comparison to other similar items on offer when labeling it a bestseller.

If the kitchen isn't the only area you're searching for items for, then Amazon outdoor entertaining bestsellers may also come in handy.

If you're not done scouting out celeb home collabs, Gwyneth Paltrow's Ruggable range is also full of lovely designs.

I'm a huge fan of Ruggable — I have one in my dining room and can confirm it has completely transformed the space in terms of style and functionality. So, I've always got my eyes open for their latest collaborations, and this time around, they've teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow's goop.

“A well-loved home is a backdrop for our most special memories: playing with our children on the floor, a boisterous dinner party with old friends, a rare quiet moment curled up with a book,” explains Gwyneth Paltrow. “For Ruggable x goop, we leaned into those precious moments, blurring form and function to create an elevated collection of organic neutrals with motifs and textures lifted from our travels.”

Her brand is all about infusing luxury into the every day, so the collab with Ruggable just makes sense. The goop collection on the Ruggable site has eight rugs in flatwoven, re-tufted, and jute textures, and prices start from $119. 

“We love how the designs in the goop collection balance simple, organic motifs with refined elements — they provide a truly peaceful focal point for any room!” says Cassandra Leisz, senior creative director at Ruggable.

If you’re looking to bring the best rugs into your home, Gwyneth Paltrow’s chic range is well worth looking at.

While rugs can be an initial investment, they’re a great way to tie a room together and can be carried with you wherever you move to.

“Our hope is that these luxurious, washable rugs live in your mind as part of your most special memories for years to come,” Gwyneth finishes by saying.

Love this rug brand and want to see other styles? The elegant Ruggable x Bridgerton and the Ruggable x Justina Blakeney collabs are also worth checking out.

If you fancy a cup of tea with friends, the striking new SMEG tea kettle is the perfect  conversation starter.

A playful throwback to the '50s, the new SMEG Stainless-Steel Whistling Tea Kettle not only makes a statement with its colorful, retro design, but offers quality for your boiling needs, says our experts.

For a fun pop of color and style on your stovetop, and a nod to this year's favorite small kitchen trend, SMEG is the way to go. 

Spilling the tea: why the SMEG tea kettle is designer-approved

In late 2023, Pinterest Predicts envisioned kitschy kitchens, "kitschens" in the platform's terms, as the hot look of the 2024 season: bright pastels, retro silhouettes, and quirky-but-cute accents. The SMEG tea kettle fits right in with the aesthetic. 

Designer Nina Lichtenstein considers the appliance to be "a delightful exercise in retro-inspired decor" that transcends popular styles, and even time. "The kettle adds a touch of vintage charm that effortlessly complements modern and traditional kitchen settings alike," she says. 

Moreover, what's sure to become one of the best tea kettles on shelves doesn't solely rely on looks to get people talking. 

"Beyond its eye-catching appearance, SMEG appliances are renowned for their quality craftsmanship, durability, and innovative features," Nina says. 

What can you expect from this release? Aside from six gorgeous shades, the SMEG tea kettle comes with a ergonomic, cool-touch, anti-slip silicone handle and accessibility on all cooktops. 

Should you be interested in small kitchen upgrades, swapping out appliances could be a good place to start. With SMEG kitchen appliances, you'll be able to easily transform the look of your space. 

"To showcase this iconic piece, pair it with other SMEG appliances or vintage-inspired kitchen accessories," Nina recommends. "Display it on a sleek countertop alongside colorful ceramic mugs or retro-inspired tea sets to create a charming focal point that evokes nostalgia and elegance."

Have a color palette in mind — perhaps one of the more creative colorful small kitchen ideas — and work from there.

What patio furniture material lasts the longest?

So, what is the best material for outdoor furniture? Teak, synthetic wicker, aluminum, cedar, and poly lumber are durable, weather-resistant picks that will deliver quality and style. According to our sister site, Living etc., wood, wrought iron, resin wicker, aluminum, and glass outdoor furniture selections will last the longest. 

Does patio furniture need to be covered in the winter?

Regardless of where you're living and what temperatures you're experiencing, it is a good idea to cover your patio furniture during the winter. If possible, you should try to move the pieces to a secure location where they won't be affected by the weather. Wayfair's patio furniture covers, some of which are also discounted for Way Day, will keep your outdoor buys in tip-top shape.

Is it worth it to buy expensive outdoor furniture?

There are a lot of factors to take into consideration before buying outdoor furniture: your budget, your space, and your storage space, to name a few key points. Should you not have a place to store your pieces during the cold-weather months, you'll also want to factor coverings and furniture protection into your budget as well. Think about what you need and how often you'll use the pieces before settling on a price point.

FAQs

What is a good Mother's day gift?

A good Mother's Day gift is a heartfelt token that will mean a lot to Mom. If you want to go the personal, handmade route, Drew Barrymore, Etsy's first-ever Chief Gifting Officer, has tailored recommendations from the commerce site that caters to all interests. 

Speaking of interests, we recommend playing into your favorite lady's go-to hobby. At Real Homes, we laser-focused on things to do around the abode: cooking, hosting and gardening. 

Also consider looking into gifts in wellness, decor, food, and of course, flowers. Who could go wrong with a bouquet? Above all else, the best gifts are ones that are meaningful and required thought to pull together. 

What can I send for Mother's Day besides flowers?

Rather than send flowers on Mother's Day, consider opting for a gift that keeps on giving the best subscription boxes: from options for moms with a green thumb (houseplant subscription boxes) to practical picks (best cleaning supplies subscriptions) to suit all needs.

Anthropologie's ornate Gleaming Primrose mirror is one of the hottest interior buys right now, rising to social media fame and spotted in the homes of celebs including Shay Mitchell and Joanna Gaines. Its stunning squoval shape (square oval) and gold floral embellishments have seen fans savings for months to buy theirs. 

But if you can't afford the price tag, we've tracked down a budget-friendly dead ringer for the viral gold Baroque buy in the Way Day sale. The Fleur De Lis Living Anglo Arendahl Traditional Accent Mirror, a 4.8-star $100 ornate gold squoval stunner has caught our eye, with a further 10% off ahead of the sale on May 4. And it's not that different from the original and utterly gorgeous Gleaming Primrose mirror. 

Find out more about both buys, below.

Shop Anthro's Gleaming Primrose Mirror – or Wayfair's lookalike

Anthropologie's Gleaming Primrose mirror is supremely versatile and suitable for any room, creating a striking contrast in homes with contemporary aesthetics, whilst also working perfectly with oh so current Bridgerton design ideas.

"The Gleaming Primrose Mirror from Anthropologie has captivated interior enthusiasts with its timeless allure and versatility," says interior designer Nina Lichtenstein. "Its popularity stems from its exquisite vintage charm, characterized by an ornate frame available in gold or antique black finishes, adding an elegant touch to any space."

Nina recommends how to style it for maximum effect.

"For a romantic look, pair it with soft, floral accents and vintage-inspired furniture," she says. "Alternatively, achieve a more eclectic vibe by juxtaposing it with modern furnishings for a striking contrast. No matter the setting, this mirror is a must-have for those seeking to infuse their space with sophistication and character."

Though there are Anthropologie sales to be had, the fan-favorite Gleaming Primrose mirror is rarely discounted. In reviews on the retailer's site, many shoppers admitted keeping it in their basket for months while they saved, or splurging on it at the first opportunity.

But if you're not ready, willing, or able to splurge, the Anglo Arendahl Traditional Accent Mirror is an excellent way to make your small space look luxe on a budget, sharing many features with Anthro's mirror. It's also available in six finishes including silver, black, bronze, white and gold. Anthro's mirror, on the other hand, is available in black or gold.

If neither of those are quite right for you, we've found three budget-friendly ornate gold mirrors that feature similar style elements to help you shop the Anthropologie Gleaming Primrose look for less.

FAQs

What style is the Anthropologie Gleaming Primrose mirror?

The Gleaming Primrose Mirror is a Baroque statement maker with its floral-like embellishments and a vintage gold-look finish. It's a luxe piece but designers argue its versatile and can slot in, or contrast in any room, regardless of the decor type, be it modern, classical, or minimalist.

"Whether hung on a wall to create a focal point, placed atop a console table for an entryway statement, positioned above a fireplace mantel to reflect warmth, or standing on the floor to lend a sense of grandeur, the Gleaming Primrose Mirror effortlessly complements various decor styles," Nina adds.

If you're styling a boho backyard, an outdoor egg chair is the perfect way to capture a playful, free-spirited aesthetic. Unsurprisingly, Anthropologie's beloved offering nails the assignment, just like its counterparts.

It's sturdy, adorable, and suitable for different spaces, but it'll cost you — $1,098 to be exact.

If you want to make good on this year's outdoor decor trends and get creative with the place you call home, the Anthro egg chair, or some budget-friendly swaps, can assist. Plus, we asked our expert designer how to style this viral buy. 

Shop the Anthro outdoor egg chair and its swaps

If this egg chair is calling your name, we can't say we're surprised. Not only is the concept unique and the style a statement-maker, but anything sold at Anthropologie seems to swoop us off our feet immediately.

It's chic, it's versatile, and it's fun, so why wouldn't we fall in love at first swing? It's one of the best hanging chairs out there. 

Shop swaps for Anthro's outdoor egg chair

Once you get the cute seating selection, you'll want to ensure that the surroundings complement this statement piece. 

"Position the egg chair in a strategic location that highlights its unique shape," Nina recommends. "Enhance the chair's appeal by layering soft cushions and throws in vibrant hues or chic neutrals. Experiment with different textures like faux fur or linen to add depth and comfort."

As is the case with any boho decor ideas, sprinkle some greenery around the piece and don't neglect the lighting — it sets the tone. 

"Lanterns, string lights, or outdoor rugs can further enhance the ambiance, creating a cozy retreat," Nina adds.

With that in mind, who's ready for the eggs to venture from the kitchen and into the backyard?!

Target biophilic buys

The best outdoor furniture and decor this year pays tribute to the world around us with calming colors, natural woods, and of course, Mother Nature's signature color.

"Mix patterns and textures in shades of green, complemented by earthy tones, to achieve a cohesive and nature-inspired aesthetic," recommends designer Nina Lichtenstein.  "Introduce botanical prints, greenery, and decorative accents to echo the color scheme."

For small backyard ideas that are attuned to the environment, these furniture selections are a good place to start. And Threshold's 18" x 18" Lily Square Outdoor Throw Pillow from Target  will make a delightful accent. 

Target tropicalcore buys

Anxious to elevate those tropical vibes and really soak up the best of the warm weather? If tropicalcore and its laidback aesthetic speaks to you, Threshold's Island Breeze Patio Collection from Target, in particular, will make your heart sing thanks to wicker chairs, fun colors, and fringe details.

"Swap out accessories or introduce seasonal decor to keep the space fresh and dynamic as the year progresses," Nina suggests.

For a bright idea, turn to the Amazon wall sconce taking over TikTok #FYPs and earning shoutouts from the Design Twins. 

Jodie Kammerer, one-half of the creative duo, took to social media to show off her modern, rechargeable Amazon jengush Battery Operated Wall Sconce that's part lighting source, part work of art. Naturally, we had to learn how to style the viral statement maker from our team of experts. 

For a sophisticated take on small living room lighting ideas, these babies have you covered. 

How to style the Amazon wall sconce that the Design Twins love

Start small when searching for easy upgrades for a small living room. Something like a light fixture is the perfect way to make an impact without much work. And Jodie has given the green light (get it?) to the wall sconce, which she has placed on her emerald green walls, in the living room alongside her black shelving unit. 

"The round silhouette of these sconces, coupled with the sleek chrome finish, offers a modern yet timeless appeal," says designer Nina Lichtenstein. "The chrome finish enhances their contemporary look, making them ideal for various design styles, from industrial loft to eclectic chic."

It's a great way to modernize a small living room and add an interesting style element. Here's how to make it work in your home.

1. Think about placement

 Arguably the most important question of all is, "Where should I put my sconce?"

"Draw on its simplicity and clean lines, and really think about its placement relative to furniture and architectural features," says interior designer Bree Steele of RJ Living.

If you want to draw your eye to a focal point in the room, place it near artwork. Otherwise, Bree suggests positioning them on opposite sites of a bookshelf for a sophisticated approach, similarly to Jodie's setup. 

2. Select the right room color

Curious about the best colors to paint a small living room? When working with this look, Nina suggests going all out. 

"Embrace the bold color options — red, blue, green, or classic white — to make a striking statement in your decor," she says.

3. Play with the brightness

Since you can control the amount of light in the room, use it to your advantage when setting the tone. 

"Warm color tones create a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation, while cooler hues add vibrancy and focus to work or study areas," Nina adds. "With remote-controlled dimming, you have the flexibility to adapt lighting to different activities and occasions effortlessly."

4. Clean when needed

Of course, like any other piece, it's going to require a little upkeep. Make sure to have some of the best cleaning supplies on hand. 

"Modern sconces are pretty easy to clean because of their finishes, so they are easy to maintain with regular upkeep," Bree notes. "Regular dusting with a soft cloth can prevent buildup on both the fixture and the bulb. For glass, a glass cleaner can remove fingerprints and smudges without damaging the surface."

As much as the fixture has become a beloved product on social media, Amazon does note that it is a frequently returned item. Should that deter you, have a look at a few similar buys to the jengush sconce.

The Hilton Carter Target line is a must-shop for those who need a flora fix. 

The stylist, author, and plant enthusiast — who has upwards of 250 leafy greens in his abode — knows exactly what fellow plant parents want for optimal style and care needs. The Hilton Carter collection, exclusive at Target, has been created with proper plant care and growth in mind.

If you could benefit from a few more indoor plants (who couldn't?) and wouldn't mind having some cute accessories handy, Hilton Carter's new launch is worth a good snoop.

Peep the Hilton Carter Target line

From live beauties — the White Wizard Philodendron Houseplant is a show-stopper — to cute planters and helpful tools, the Hilton Carter Target line has a little bit of everything. Prices start at $20 and range to roughly $100. 

What's more, Hilton has coordinated the drop of his line with his fifth book, The Propagation Handbook, so there's no longer a need to wonder how to propagate plants.

Love houseplants but can't wait to get outside? We asked gardeners what to plant in April — depending on what gardening zone you're in — and you'll love the selections. Plus, you'll want to invest in this year's trendiest accessory: raised flower beds. 

Reese Witherspoon's living room is a cozy, cottagecore retreat tied together by one sophisticated element: gingham. 

The star recently gave TikTok fans a sneak peek into her space, a blue checkered throw pillow on her sofa. Our pros say it creates "nostalgia and charm that transcends trends" — and, you can channel the look with cute gingham items from just $14.

Adding touches of this classic pattern makes for an easy upgrade for a small living room, so our expert designer reveals how to make it work in any space and on a budget. 

Catch Reese Witherspoon's living room on TikTok

In a humorous TikTok clip, the actor is stationed comfortably on the sofa, skimming through her TV and film projects. But Reese Witherspoon's living room decor outshines her humorous marathon lineup in the best way possible, leading viewers commenting on the adorable look.

A small living room refresh doesn't need to be extensive — something as simple as a playful throw pillow can completely elevate the rest of the space and make a statement, as you see in Reese's case. The key is to tackle small accents first.  

"Start by incorporating gingham through decorative pillows, throws, or curtains," says designer Nina Lichtenstein. 

The Carol & Frank 50" x 60" Gingham Check Throw Blanket at Target is available in four shades and perfectly complements rustic home decor, while Urban Outfitters' Gingham Rose Breezy Cotton Percale Sheet Set acts as the perfect transitional home decor piece as spring gets underway. 

Gingham home items to shop

How to style the look

Once you're ready to style a sofa in a small living room and take a look at the bigger picture, you'll want to take colors and textures into consideration when working with gingham.

"Opt for neutral furniture upholstery to create a harmonious backdrop that allows the gingham pattern to shine," Nina adds. "Consider layering gingham with solid-colored textiles or other patterns, such as florals or stripes, to add depth and visual interest to the space."

What's more, Nina argues that gingham knows no bounds. It can work with colorful small living room ideas, modern small living room ideas, and beyond. 

"Whether in classic black and white, soft pastels, or bold hues, gingham exudes a sense of nostalgia and charm that transcends trends," she says. "Its clean lines and understated elegance make it a staple in both traditional and contemporary settings, ensuring its enduring popularity through the ages."

If you want to go bold, a peel-and-stick wallpaper with a gingham style or furniture upholstery can be the way to go. Consider Spoonflower's Peel & Stick Wallpaper in Blue Gingham on Amazon or West Elm's Heather Taylor Home Scarlett Bench to make it happen. 

Reese Witherspoon's living room is traditional, perhaps even infused with a touch of coastal influences. However, if you want to work with different styles, that means honing in on the surroundings.

"Natural materials such as rattan, wicker, or reclaimed wood accents beautifully complement the rustic simplicity of gingham," Nina adds. "For a refined look, incorporate metallic finishes like brass or gold in lighting fixtures, picture frames, or decorative accessories to add a touch of glamour to the relaxed charm of gingham."

If Reese Witherspoon's living room is your style crush, embrace the cute checkered look and let it do the talking.

This isn't the beloved actor and entrepreneur's only stylish setup. Reese Witherspoon's book nook is nothing short of fantastic, largely thanks to her soft, blush-toned accent chair, so we asked experts how to achieve a similar style. Kick back with a bestseller and enjoy!

Horticulturists' trendiest accessory is not only beneficial when growing leafy companions, but it's also a clever way to accentuate the decor in your yard if you're working with a small amount of space. We've rounded up picks for under $100.

If you're mapping out your small garden ideas for spring 2024 and beyond, consider investing in the fan-favorite pick.

The low-down on raised garden beds

There are plenty of reasons why raised garden beds are the small backyard accessory of the season. 

For one, they're ideal if you're working with limited outdoor space. They also have efficient drainage, are less prone to excessive weeds, offer soil control, and warm up quicker than the ground, which is particularly advantageous for impatient planters who want to get started ASAP.

"Soil that's damp but not waterlogged is perfect for growing roots," says Jane Dobbs, team lead gardening at Allan's Gardeners. "After the winter thaw, soil moisture levels are replenished, providing plants with the nutrients they need."

Consider the raised garden beds to have a head start in the soil department. Whether you're a beginner gardener or a seasoned pro, there is something to appreciate about these tools. If Martha Stewart vows never to use anything again for planting veggies, you know you have a winner. 

What to shop

As is the case with most hobbies, prices can add up rather quickly. We scoped out a few raised garden beds under $100 that are highly rated and reviewed by customers. 

Should you be willing to spend a bit more, the Vigoro Elevated Cedar Garden Bed with Shelf is discounted during the Home Depot Spring Black Friday Sale from $149 to $129 from April 4-17 while supplies last. 

Additionally, the Outsunny 47'' Wooden Raised Garden Bed with a Trellis at Target packs double the punch for enthusiastic gardeners.

The new Beyoncé country album is taking over playlists and influencing our interior style to (cowboy) boot, according to designers. 

With each play of "Texas Hold 'Em" and every addition of fringe to our homes, we dive deeper into Cowboy Carter, and there are no signs of slowing down. Our design pros say bringing this trend into your home on a budget is a cinch with simple additions of Western-inspired accents, mixing vintage and modern, and small touches that bring big impact.

If you're thinking of embracing a rustic Western style and making the 2024 small space interior design trend your own, tips from our interior experts will help you nail it.

How to nail the Beyoncé country aesthetic at home

Pinterest Predicts 2024 was the first to manifest "Western gothic," a moody take on vintage Americana. Several months later, Beyoncé's country album was released into the wild, and everyone began reaching for cowboy hats and boots.

"Queen Bey has spoken, and we are all about that cowboy life now," jokes designer Nicole Cullum. But, there are ways to go about it without stepping into dramatic territory. 

"For a contemporary twist, try mixing in sleek, minimalist furniture with Western-inspired accents like cowhide throw pillows or tribal print rugs," says designer Nina Lichtenstein. "If your aesthetic is more eclectic, embrace the juxtaposition of vintage finds with modern pieces, layering textures and patterns for added visual interest."

No matter what aesthetic and small space color trends you prefer, when integrating a Cowboy Carter essence into your space, there are a few non-negotiable rules.

1. Start small

As much as it might seem like a bold look, Nicole tells us that a little goes a long when when getting your yee-haw on.

"Tuck a leather ottoman (we like the handmade large square ottoman from Cush & Co) some brass nailhead trim as extra seating in your living room," she recommends. "Hang a row of cowboy hats as wall art for a chic western nod."

Designer Chantelle Hartman Malarkey agrees and thinks it's important to begin with a focus on small details, rather than large pieces.

"This can be as easy as swapping out pillows, adding new wall art, or throwing in a new rug or blanket in the mix," she says. 

Desenio's Candy Garden Sweet Waterfall Poster is just the ticket, and who can turn down a cute blue cowboy hat wall hook from Urban Outfitters?

2. Embrace natural elements

When you're trying to get those small living room ideas to mimic Queen Bey's vibe, Nina says earthy tones and natural materials are the way to go. 

"Think warm, rustic woods paired with sleek metallic accents reminiscent of a desert sunset," she says. "Don't forget to sprinkle in some bold, Southwestern-inspired patterns and textiles, such as geometric prints. Top it all off with a few strategically placed cacti or succulents to bring the outdoors in."

Fortunately, we have expert-backed tips for how to care for succulents and the Miracle-Gro Cactus Palm Citrus Potting Soil at Target is on sale, so there's no excuse to skimp on greenery.

3. Find a statement piece

"Incorporate statement pieces like leather sofas and distressed wooden furniture to add a touch of rugged elegance," Nina suggests. 

One thing everyone agrees on? The need for a cowhide rug. Try the AROGAN Premium Faux Cowhide Rug from Amazon. If you want other textiles in your space to have a similar essence, the Rieth Animal Print Reversible Pillow Cover at Wayfair can assist. 

"It's not surprising to see the Western style surging in popularity," says Patrick Burch, Owner at Cave + Post Trading Co. "I think people appreciate the rugged and real nature of the look."

Start with these baby steps to get a little taste of Cowboy Carter at home, and of course, sing along to "Jolene" while you set up your new Western-styled designs.

Nara Smith's chunky plates have become TikTok's latest style crush. 

The model and social media star took to the platform with a French toast tutorial,  yet followers decided to hone in on her trendy kitchen staples instead. In fairness, her breakfast did look pretty delectable. 

But now that the quirky dinnerware has received viral attention — and it's hard to resist new plates for Sunday brunch — let's figure out how to copy the look at home.

See Nara Smith's chunky plates and prepare to swoon 

Though the chunky plates have received quite a bit of attention recently, this trend originally started in 2023 with Matilda Djerf's bubble plates gaining viral fame. Both of the kitchenware pieces in question are Gustaf Westman's popular chunky plates ($65/€55), a chic yet cartoonish dish available in an array of fun colors. Unsurprisingly, the handmade goods from Portugal are currently sold out, and have been for weeks.

Jen Nash, head of design at Magnet, claimed that small kitchen ideas are becoming more playful, and items like the chunky plates are all about capturing kitschy flair. While neutrals have been gaining traction in 2024, Jen noted that colorful small kitchens have become FYP-worthy styles everyone's dreaming about.

The designer recommends styling chunky dishes of varying sizes and colors on open shelving units to create depth and texture, but don't limit this aesthetic to one room.

"The key thing to remember with this trend is that it is quirky and playful," she tells Real Homes. "When it comes to incorporating this trend into other living areas, one of the easiest ways to do so is by opting for unusually shaped vases and ceramics. The crazier the color or shape, the better."

Complement the plates with items like Tessco's 2-Piece Ceramic Cloud Mug Cup and Sunflower Coaster at Amazon for your kitchen island decor ideas, and move things over to other locales with help from H&M Home's Small Plant Pot with Bubbles, Urban Outfitters' Avery Ceramic Wall Light, or Urban Outfitters' Codi Flush Mount Light.

"Equally, if you’re looking to embody the trend, consider adding bubble lighting into your living spaces," Jen adds. "With the hashtag #bubblechandelier receiving over 4.9 million views on TikTok, it’s the perfect way to incorporate the playful trend into your home whilst keeping the aesthetic extremely chic and contemporary."

Searching for more inspo beyond the chunky plates? These seven small kitchen trends are going to be everywhere this year, and so will these small space interior design trends.

Explore the new Stanley Cup Target collab for summer 2024

Beginning March 27, the new plastic-free Stanley Cup Target lines will be available for purchase. You can expect two different drops: the Sunshine Vibes and the Patio Party collections. These include the now-iconic 40 oz tumbler, a 30 oz flip straw tumbler, a 20 oz slim bottle, and a can chiller. 

However, you're most likely going to laser-focus on the dopamine decor kick and get a fun color of choice. Summer shades include aqua, marigold, sunshine, and amethyst, to name a few. You might feel inclined to stock up on one of everything, but keep in mind that selections are likely to go quickly, so be ready to snag one ASAP. 

What to shop

Along with the viral craze came an unsettling issue: whether or not one of the trendiest ways to save water was safe. Questions arose as to whether or not the tumblers included lead, and they do feature "an industry-standard pellet to seal the vacuum insulation at the base of [the] products."

The New York Times claimed "You don't need to worry," as the lead in the sealing is  "inaccessible to people drinking from [a Stanley]" but the company is still seeking change in the wake of the issue. According to a statement from the company sent to NBC News, "Our engineering and supply chain teams are making progress on innovative, alternative materials for use in the sealing process."

"These hues mirror the changing landscape outside, creating a connection with the evolving seasons," she said. "Swap out accessories or introduce seasonal decor to keep the space fresh and dynamic as the year progresses," Nina adds.

"Kitchens and bathrooms are the biggest pain points of the home when it comes to cleaning, so we have been working on these solutions for years now," the duo tells Real Homes. "Our hope is that [the line] revolutionizes your everyday cleaning routine and provide a solution to clean smarter, not harder."

Though we're inclined to add one of everything from The Home Edit Walmart cleaning collection to our carts, have a look at a few of our favorite picks to kick your spring cleaning off in the proper direction.

It's true: even The Home Edit team has trouble staying organized now and then. Here's the one thing Clea and Joanna continue to work on in their homes. Plus, the duo spills on a labeling mistake to avoid at all costs — you'll be thankful in the long run.

When weighing Easter decorating ideas, think of a color scheme. There are plenty of pastels to choose from, of course, but make sure your dopamine decor is consistent and your tableware and textiles match one another. 

Jennifer Allen, micro wedding specialist and officiant at Just Elope, recommends putting emphasis on delicate accents, like textiles. 

"Elevate your setup with linens that align with your theme," she says. "Layering lace or natural linens can add a touch of texture. Ensure your dinnerware complements the overall design, whether it's vintage, modern, or classic."

We‘re partial to Amazon's Solino Home Striped Linen Napkins in primrose yellow and playing up the springtime vibes with Amazon's Laolitou Green Table Runner, to pinpoint a couple of items we’re loving in the Real Homes office.
