☆ This Holiday, Don’t Just Decorate Your Home. Make It a Wonderful Escape.
  + stars: | 2023-11-24 | by ( Michelle Slatalla | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
FOR THE HOLIDAYS that inspire me to decorate, notably Christmas, I tend to repeat things year after year. I haul out the same old strings of lights and plastic holly garlands from the basement, and usually that’s sort of nice. But this year, with the world feeling increasingly out of whack, I’ve found myself craving a holiday season that feels more than sort of nice. I don’t want to ignore what’s going on around me, but I do want a reminder that there’s also whimsy and glitter in the world.

☆ Can a Rug Make a Room Look Bigger? Is Wall-to-Wall Ever OK? Your Carpet Questions, Answered
  + stars: | 2023-09-28 | by ( Michelle Slatalla | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
CARPET STRATEGY A large rug emphasizes the grandeur of a dining room by Tori Rubinson, a designer in Fort Worth, Texas. Can a rug make my small room look bigger? Get the largest rug possible so it defines the room as one big, inviting space. Size tip: Designers consider a 9-foot-by-12-foot rug—which will fill a small living room and can visually anchor a queen-size bed in most bedrooms—the most versatile size to repurpose if you someday move to a new home. In a living room make sure the carpet is at least big enough that the front two legs of the sofa and armchairs in the main seating area can sit on it.

THE NEW TENANTS The author looks forward to seeing bouquet-ready blooms where her evicted veggie plants were. Photo: Kendra HuspaskaLIKE A LOT of homeowners, I got through the pandemic by planting a victory garden. But I can’t say the past three years’ crops were much of a win, for me anyway. After what seemed like thousands of hours of work, I was able to can six small jars of tomatoes. And at the first sign of warm weather, the lettuce bolted like there was a warrant out for its arrest.
☆ Why Your Sofa Should Cost $4,400

AFTER TWO YEARS of supply-chain chaos, intense inflation and scary talk of a (potential) recession, how could this possibly be a good time to invest in high-quality furniture? “Because there is a lot of excess inventory, so prices are not going up,” said Ray Allegrezza, executive director of the International Home Furnishings Representatives Association in High Point, N.C. “Consumers can afford to be picky because retailers panicked and ordered anything they could lay their hands on when the supply chain was broken.”
☆ Custom-Made Furniture Is Easier to Get Than Ever. Here’s Why.
  + stars: | 2023-02-18 | by ( Michelle Slatalla | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
HAVE IT YOUR WAY Small-scale fabricators have moved online, where interior designers hire them to make custom-specified furnishings—and so can you. FROM THE MOMENT I set eyes on it, I adored the house I’ve been living in for the past 10 years. But it always had one glaring flaw—the first thing you see when you enter it. From a design perspective, this problem is easy enough to solve. Paradoxically, adding furniture can create focal points to persuade the brain that even a small, 8-feet-by-8-feet entryway is spacious and welcoming.
☆ How Did My Dogs Become My Decorators?

DOGGIE DÉCOR The accessories that come with housing a dog—here, the author’s papillons, Pidgeon and Larry—can derail even the most fastidious homeowner’s interior design. AT A DINNER recently, my friends were ticking off their home-décor-related New Year’s resolutions. After all, I’ve spent years repainting, reupholstering, rearranging and refinancing my house to make it comfortable. This is one of our many, many sick bedtime routines, but I love him so much. So I crawled out from under the covers to help him make his evening bone selection.
☆ How to Create a Sophisticated ‘Island’ Interior—No Seashells Required

NATIVE FLORIDIAN Catherine Gibbs knew she was facing a decorating dilemma almost as soon as she moved into the cottage-style house she built three years ago in Inlet Beach, Fla. After living in New York for years, Ms. Gibbs arrived on the Gulf Coast with a houseful of inherited, dark furniture. When he said, ‘Catherine, you really don’t want to do that,’ I knew I needed rescue.”A mutual friend introduced Ms. Gibbs to design firm Bohlert Massey, a local mother-daughter team. Soon after learning Ms. Gibbs’ family history, they knew the solution was “to make her house feel like an inherited island home,” said Susan Bohlert Smith. To infuse the space with lightheartedness, the duo planned to edit the antiques and mix them with modern pieces.
