8. Pink + Green: In the market for a new and compelling color combo? Pink and green is a no-fail combination when it comes to making your style pop. Add a touch of metallic gold for a chic finish.
9. #BackyardGoals: If you’re lucky enough to have a pool in your backyard, macrame details will keep it looking light and fresh. While you’re at it, add a macrame wall hanging to any room of your home.
10. Itsy Bitsy Bathroom: Dolls need laughs too. Take a page from this itty bitty resident’s design book and infuse a little humor into your room with a textual bathmat.

13. Cozy Fur: As if we needed any more reasons to fall in love with the faux fur trend. If you’re looking to step up your cozy game this winter, invest in a furry area rug (or three) that’ll make you want to roll right onto the floor for some comfy reading.

14. Boho Bedroom: This teeny tiny boho bedroom is, ironically, a great example of how to work with extra bedroom space while maintaining a simple aesthetic. If you have more space than you know what to do with, break things up using plants and area rugs.

15. High-End Style: Just because you’re smaller than a finger doesn’t mean you can’t get sophisticated with your style. To hop on the fast track to sophistication, play with varying hues of the same color to add layers to your look.
16. Chic and Simple: If you haven’t already picked up on it from these examples, a little (no pun intended) can go a long way. For chic simplicity, keep your color palette neutral and your furniture minimal, then use plants to bring life to the mix.
17. All Pink Everything: If you love one color more than any other, don’t be afraid to use it with abandon. As long as you mix things up with different textures and patterns, a monochromatic color palette can be incredibly visually compelling.
18. Hygge for Days: If ever there was a time to try on this oh-so-cozy hygge-inspired style, it’s in the heart of winter. Pile on fluffy blankets and pillows in matching tones to create the ultimate refuge from the big crazy world we live in.
19. Blissful Boudoir: Sometimes the best medicine is a good book in a warm bed. Cover your surfaces with faux fur accents to maximize coziness.
20. Wallpaper: Wallpaper has a knack for punctuating any look. Match the patterns or colors to your furniture to create easy peasy cohesion.

22. Natural Light: Sometimes sunshine is the best accessory. Opt for sheer, breezy curtains to let its warm vibes wash over your space.
23. Soft and Feminine: Have feminine aesthetic leanings? Creams, pale pinks and metallic accents are a stunning way to showcase soft and stylish designs.
24. Bold Patterns: On the other hand, maybe you prefer a bit more edge to your look. Choosing bold patterns in different materials will make for a rich, textural design packed with personality.

25. Blank Slate: If you can’t quite figure out what sort of look you’re after, consider going the all-white route. It’s a timeless color that always looks chic, while at the same time functions as a blank slate for decor additions and updates.
