5 Simple Touches That Make A Room Feel More Inviting
1. Soft Lighting
Swap harsh overhead lights for warm table lamps, sconces, or even a pretty floor lamp. Layering light makes every corner feel cozier.

2. Layers of Texture
Mix woven baskets, chunky knit throws, and soft linen pillows for a relaxed, collected feel.

In My Home:

I have been loving this woven planter in our home styled with different plants/flowers inside in each season!
This woven rattan trunk is a wonderful storage piece in our bedroom for extra blankets or pillows (but could also be used as a laundry hamper or storage in a living room!).
I’ve used this wicker tray as a tray on our guest bed, and also for entertaining inside and out! It would be cute on a coffee table, too.

3. Stylish Storage Solutions
Adding purposeful storage pieces not only can provide function and organization to your space, but also can help contribute to that warm welcoming feeling!
In My Home:

4. A Cozy Rug
A soft, generously sized rug can make a room feel instantly more grounded and inviting. In a living room, aim for one that’s large enough for at least the front legs of your seating to rest on it—it ties everything together beautifully.

5. Layers of Pretty Details
Layers of decorative accents can make such a difference in how a room feels. These carefully chosen touches add charm and personality, and invite the eye to linger a little longer.
In My Home:

With well-chosen pieces, you can layer in warmth, personality, and charm to any space…transforming it into a sanctuary you love spending time in!

Sunday Strolls + Scrolls is a series inspired by the interiors and exterior spaces I fell in love with while scrolling the internet. I particularly enjoy finding spaces and ideas that reflect a sense of sanctuary! I hope this series will feel as relaxing and enjoyable to you as a leisurely walk down a charming street, a peaceful stroll through a garden or finally getting to peek inside a lovely neighborhood home during a Sunday open house.

It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about how to hang plates on the wall. Since I get this question often (and I keep hanging more plates!) I thought I would share an update!

I’ve tried various methods over the many decades I’ve been hanging plates on our walls, but the best way I’ve found to hang most plates and bowls are with these hangers.
They are easy to apply and haven’t failed me yet! It’s important that you apply them according to directions and let the glue dry over night to make sure it’s secure.

Some of the reasons I like these hangers (besides how well they hold) are because they are mostly invisible and don’t damage the plates or the walls. I used to use wire plate hangers but they would make the plate stick out from the wall, the metal would often scratch the wall, the wire clamps showed around the perimeter and it would be easy to break a plate trying to make them fit.
The way I apply these plate hangers, you can’t see them at all from the front.
To make sure the plate or bowl lays flat on the wall, I apply the hanger on the disc like this below:

I’ve always thought plates on a wall were so charming. I think of plates as affordable art because you can often find them inexpensively at secondhand or thrift stores. You can mix them with framed art, too. Even if you just have one decorative plate or bowl it will add interest and contrast to rectangular frames.
Mix and match a variety of colors and patterns or even hang a whole set of plates and bowls to create a plate wall. It’s also a fun way to “use what you have” to decorate if you inherited a set of china you don’t need!

Have you tried hanging plates on the wall?
