Design Trends: A House of Your Own

Small = Big

I've been lovin' on this home decor trend for awhile now. Sweet little houses in every shape and made out of a multitude of materials: wood, concrete, porcelain, paper, plastic, glass. 

Some are functional, some just a sweet home accessory. Either way, you're sure to find one you can call home.

6. wooden houses via Jolicoeuretcie




Are you as smitten with this design trend as me? There is something about the small size that makes them instantly charming. 

In other house news, I'm currently working on a logo design for a client that incorporates a little house.

I also think that there is just something about a little house that evokes a sentimental feeling about all that the word 'home' encompasses. As the world seems to still be in a fairly unsettled pattern, it's these touches and decor trends incorporated into our own homes that make us feel a little more safe, secure, a little warm and fuzzy, and just plain good.

I must get busy in the design studio. Enjoy the day!

Ciao for now,

  2. I adore those decorative little houses, Pam!
    I wish I had more space to display stuff, but our place is packed...mostly with my fabrics ;-)

  3. That lamp in the first photo is super lovely, just like the candle holders. I recently got some sort of vintage letterdrawer in the shape of a house :-)

    1. I know....so pretty. Looks nearly like rose gold, because it's not a real deep copper
