If you’re a frequent reader of Brit + Co, then you know that we’ve been writing and making like crazy over the last couple months, all to create our very first book. Naturally, part of this process involved us finding the perfect interiors to shoot to bring our dream home to life. To find these locations, we teamed up with Airbnb to highlight two gorgeous San Francisco homes throughout the book.
While on location, we definitely took note of the interior design and personality of each place. In fact, that’s one of our favorite reasons to use Airbnb. At every place you stay, you’re able to immerse yourself in the life of the host — by quite literally seeing the view from their window. As part of Airbnb’s Views campaign, this series is all about changing your perspective while you travel.
Guess what the little table in the photo you see below was made out of? Cardboard. For real. So we’ve taken it upon ourselves to turn this interior inspiration into something you can do at home!
We stumbled upon this sweet scene at this home in Presidio Heights, and totally fell in love with the quirkiness of this cardboard piece. Here are 21 ways to bring the artful cardboard aesthetic into your home!
1. Cardboard Stool ($75): This little stool is surprisingly sturdy, considering you can probably make it out of just a few of those Amazon boxes you’ve got laying around.
2. The Coop ($312): This statement piece has hipster written all over it, and you could easily deck it out with drawings.
3. Hanging Out ($195): City dwellers this one is for you. More closet space is always a must!
Eco Chair
Not only is this chair eco-friendly but it’s also super versatile. It can be transformed from an armchair to a chaise lounge to a guest bed! (via ecochair)
5. Little Racer ($50): This piece is a perfect DIY for your little Nascar racer. Assemble the race car and let your little one add all sorts of custom touches to make it uniquely theirs.

15. F Bed Set ($2,340): If you’re shelling over these kind of bucks for a cardboard bed, it might be time to go for actual wood. But… this definitely made us look.
