1. Decorate With Natural Materials
For the outdoor deck, we wanted to let the lush surroundings sing, so we focused on natural wooden materials and tones. While using earthy elements isn't new, we've been seeing a modern take on it this year—opt for wooden furniture, opens in a new tab with clean lines and sculptural silhouettes, then pair it with softer design elements like a cozy throw blanket, opens in a new tab, pillow, opens in a new tab or plush area rug, opens in a new tab (if you're styling indoors).

2. Play up the Plaid
Styling your home with plaid in a subtle and tasteful way can bring a cozy and classic look to your decor without overwhelming the space. While plaid isn't new to the market, we've been seeing a recent resurgence of this pattern in bright hues (like poppy or juniper).
The key to avoiding an overpowering plaid presence is to keep your space minimal and use it as an accent rather than a dominant pattern. Let the patterned pieces you choose stand out on their own. Think plaid pillows, opens in a new tab, throw blankets, opens in a new tab, or table linens, opens in a new tab. These smaller, interchangeable items can be swapped out easily to change the look with the seasons or your mood.
If you want to go for a plaid statement-piece, like a rug, opens in a new tab or accent chair, opens in a new tab, make sure the rest of the room is balanced with neutral or solid colors.

3. Add a Nostalgic Touch
Although the cabin we visited was a brand new build, there were lots of nostalgic, retro touches like the orange mid-century fireplace, vintage books, and games on the bookshelves, so we leaned into that vibe with our styling. Whether you choose to incorporate family heirlooms or thrifted finds, layering in pieces with a past is an easy way to add character to a modern living space.
Our Holiday '23 Collection, opens in a new tab is all about nostalgia, so we referenced mid-century style by layering in accessories like the Pop Light, opens in a new tab, Retro Glassware, opens in a new tab and Gino Flip Clock, opens in a new tab.
