It’s exactly what it sounds like: using multiple different striped fabrics layered one on top of the other. It’s like a more chilled-out version of the clashing patterns trend, and it’s so easy to do. Check out these examples to get inspired for how you can incorporate this trend into your home.
Classic
Blue and white are a classic choice for stripes, offering a classic, nautical look. This bed design plays with scale, incorporating thin, narrow stripes on the bedspread with an oversized stripe on the pillow.
Eclectic
For a bit of a more eclectic look, this design combines a classic black and white block striped wallpaper with a unique, textured, colorful striped armchair.
Kid’s Room
If you’re decorating a kid’s room and want a look that is young but not too childish, the layered stripes trend is perfect, offering a balance between fun and tasteful.

If anything, this past year has taught us the importance of taking care of our immediate environment—our home, that is. And while a total home renovation comes at a hefty price, making your living area a little more inviting doesn’t necessarily mean breaking the bank. Designer Tatiana Nedialkova argues that beautifying your living space can be […]

]]>If anything, this past year has taught us the importance of taking care of our immediate environment—our home, that is. And while a total home renovation comes at a hefty price, making your living area a little more inviting doesn’t necessarily mean breaking the bank. Designer Tatiana Nedialkova argues that beautifying your living space can be as easy as changing a tea towel.
The founder and artist behind the small home goods brand Softer + Wild aims to transform everyday items into magical
flashes of inspiration that add a colorful twist to your home. With her products fabric-oriented, selected designs include tea towels, oven mitts, and aprons. Working closely with textile designer Paula Downes, Nedialkova (who comes from a background of graphic design and illustration), draws and designs the unique screen printed patterns.
Having studied at Chelsea College of Art & Design in London, Nedialkova is based in Britain, where she also produces her line of products. An admirer of simple, clean, beautiful interior design, the brand’s designs are Scandinavian in style with patterns including botanical and naturalistic themes. Another source of inspiration is Bulgarian folk tales.
One of the brand’s more popular products is its unique oven mitts. “They don’t have the typical shape—they’re kind of a long, double glove,” explained Nedialkova in an interview with Etsy’s blog. “In terms of patterns, the nordic design is a best-seller, especially on the oven mitts,” she added. “I think people like it because the design is so different from what you usually get on a product like this. My botanical prints also do well. They have this timeless floral appeal; there’s something really classic about them.”
And while Nedialkova’s add that extra something-something to your home, they also make for the perfect gift. “I’ve made things in the past and given them as gifts to friends,” she notes. “And then when I visit a few years later, it’s really nice to see the objects being part of their environment and habits and life. In the same way, it was very exciting when people started to buy my art—to think it really ends up in someone’s home and can transform their space in some way.”
You can purchase yourself a Softer + Wild item on their online store or via Etsy.

]]>Will 2021 provide us with some much-needed light at the end of this very long tunnel that was 2020? We can’t know for sure, but we’re definitely looking forward to moving on from this year and hope for a brighter future. When it comes to graphic design, here are three trends you can expect to see everywhere in the year ahead of us.
Retro Design
It’s the right tie to look back to when things were more simple, as many industries have already started doing. If you’ve noticed the retro fashion trends (like the ‘80s and ‘90s comeback), this design trend will come as no surprise.
(@velvetspectrum)Brightness and Optimism
Art always mirrors the events in society, and in 2021, graphic design will look hopeful and optimistic in order to uplift people. Expect to see a lot of bright colors and vibrant patterns everywhere, and get ready to stay positive despite all the challenges.
Authenticity
Now more than ever, we’re so tired of empty and patronizing marketing campaigns. Graphic design will focus on raw and authentic experiences that help people and brands truly connect.

Green
Here’s some good news for everyone who loves introducing colors to their home—green tones will be huge this year! Could this be an attempt to bring the outdoors inside? Perhaps, but we can all agree that green can be very calming and relaxing.
Food Decor
You’ve probably already noticed cabbage-shaped plates and vegetable print tablecloths around social media, and in 2021, even more items will come designed like food. It’s a great time to stock up if you’re into this trend!
Conscious Shopping
We’re always for sustainability, and more and more people agree with this trend. In 2021, shopping second-hand, repurposing, and restoring the old pieces will be all the rage. This is the best way to make sure not everyone else has the same furniture as you do.

]]>The days of dark, basement gyms with exercise machines set in a row looking at the empty wall are long behind us. It’s finally time to welcome new gyms, designed in a way that makes you want to spend more time there, which will make you healthier and better-looking long term. Many people are even inspired to create a personal workout space at home decorated similarly to some of the most beautiful gyms, and if you have the space for it, we think you should absolutely go for it.
Some gyms today look more attractive than restaurants and cafes, and many of them are just a part of a bigger concept that includes a place where healthy food is served, a place to relax, and various wellness services. One of the most exclusive gyms in the world today is Blanche in Paris, located in a beautiful historical building. It spreads over six floors and offers the latest workout equipment, a granite pool, a restaurant run by Jean Imbert, and a 30-seat movie theater.
Numerous small gyms are understanding the importance of being “instagrammable” so they invested a bit in decorating their places. In return, people who visit enjoy taking photos and posting them on social media, which helps spread the word. Everybody wins!

]]>Having a neat backyard or any other open space has become a luxury in today’s overpopulated world, but it’s also a necessity given the fact we spend so little time outdoors. Here are the top 3 landscape design ideas that are trending right now, in case you have an outdoor space that needs some extra attention.
Simple and Functional
Similarly to interior design, our exteriors are becoming simpler and more functional with every year. More and more people are looking for ideas that will give them a sleek result and a functional space that can be used throughout all the seasons.
Color Blue
Blue is Pantene’s Color of the Year 2020, so it’s not surprising that it’s trending in many different industries. Think of ways to include more shades of blue in landscape design for a modern and calming effect.
Personalization
Turn your landscape into whatever you want it to be! You can grow your own veggies, plant native greenery, or create a space where kids can play – it’s totally up to you.
