The Guide To Decorating With Neutrals
The hues we implement within our home play a foundational role in crafting an atmosphere and shaping the way our emotions are affected. When designing your space, it is essential to reflect upon how every element holds it's own significance and translates a specific story. More often than not, designing a home with light, airy colors tends to create a space that feels open, fresh and serene, producing a welcoming and relaxing feeling. Yet, beneath the emotional influence these soft, bright color palettes hold upon us, the timeless versatility and enduring allure of neutral colors offers a base that will function well in any home, creating the perfect canvas to your design plans. Although often associated with expressions like overly monotonous or characterless, neutral colors, when designed with balance, thoughtfulness, and variety, can be sophisticated and charming. If you are one that finds yourself inspired by the solace and comfort of neutral spaces, we offer you this guide on how to efficiently decorate your home with a neutral color scheme. The Benefits To Decorating With Neutral Colors The incorporation of a neutral color palette within the home is often thought to create a lackluster, dull space, however, when styled with intent, neutrals hold the ability to create a feeling and appearance that is far from this. The possibilities with neutral colors are endless, offering an abundance of visual, emotional and practical capabilities. The charm of neutrality is found within the capacity to be soft to the eye and gentle on the soul, as it fosters an environment full of peace and vitality. It appears uncluttered, less overwhelming and promotes a sense of relaxation and tends to reduce stress, as it opens up the room. Regardless of whether you are decorating a large area or small space, light neutrals, such as white or cream, will expand the overall look and depth. Further, neutrals colors, such as warm cream, muted beige, soothing taupes or soft brown, are versatile in nature, as they work well within various home decor styles. Their timeless appeal allows for effortless blending with diverse design elements, a valuable asset for those seeking decor longevity or contemplating periodic style changes. Finally, neutrals are known to be practical and easy to manage. When it comes to everyday life, neutrals can easily conceal any flaws or minor scuffs that would naturally stand out on bolder or darker colors, ideal for households with pets or children. Implement Various Neutral Shades & Tones Featured above is the Column Fluted Accent Table and Petite Crystal Candle. In order to successfully style a neutral home, you will need to implement an assortment of neutral hues. Rather than styling the same color repetitiously, bring in different shades within the same color range to emphasize the neutral tones in a way that creates interest rather than a flat, dreary look. Examples can be to pair an off white shade with a warmer beige shade, to create a subtle variation. In the midst of styling a monochromatic home, layering is exceptionally crucial, especially when it comes to mixing shades. Create a balance between warm and cool neutrals to create a harmonious aura. The subtle differences in hues will not only implement diversity to your neutral aesthetic, but can offer adaptability when altering your interior design plans or if you are consistently swapping accent colors. Style With Natural or Earthy Materials Texture is a fundamental element within interior decorating, taking a space to a multidimensional, elevated level. Whether adorning a neutral home or a vibrant, colorful abode, texture commands attention, as it is pivotal for a comforting, homey look. In particular, a neutral home is incomplete without the presence of such tactile characteristics, and will appear lifeless if overlooked. To bring both life and interest to your space, style with earthy or natural materials for warmth and allure. Wood tones, ceramic pieces, and natural stones are all suitable for this look. The organic beauty of natural tones found in materials like travertine, marble or terracotta will create a sense of inherent authenticity within the balance of your neutral color palette. Use Greenery For Subtle Pops Of Color Within the walls of a neutral home, color can be fused in meaningful ways to defer from taking away from the appeal of neutrality. Adorning your neutral scheme with a touch of foliage offers an innate focal point within any room. Whether styling with leafy plants, rustic branches or vibrant seasonal florals, greenery invites a refreshing burst of natural color, that doesn't deviate from the feel of a neutral home, rather it promotes it. When bringing these natural elements into your space, you are instilling a sense of tranquility and a beam of life, all that comes with nature. Further, you can feature a moment of personality and creative expression, as you are offered an opportunity to invite in your personal style. Featured above is the Loretta Vase. A Touch of Black With Accessories To create interest and a striking juxtaposition within your neutral rooms, consider utilizing darker shades for variance. Black is often a suitable accent color that is gravitated towards, as it works well within a neutral space, providing contrast and a sense of drama to the look of a neutral room. When styled together, neutral colors and black establish a harmonious blend, as neither tend to overpower the other and ultimately work together to form a look that is vibrant and powerful, without the need to use vivid, colorful accessories. These design elements can be implemented through architectural details, like staircase railing, accent accessories, like candle holders or vases, or in large amounts such as a coffee tables, lighting fixtures or rugs, all in which will command attention to the room.

Style With Interesting Silhouettes Featured above is the Coppia Sculpture, Petite Crystal Candle, Sicily Concrete Accent Table and Terra Vessel. Add depth to your space by styling with various shapes and silhouettes. Instead of opting for decor marked by sharp lines and defined angles, consider styling with pieces, particularly neutral furniture, that boast organic forms to incite visual interest. Curved silhouettes allow for a play on shadows, inviting dimension and complexity to your space, altogether preventing it from feeling monotonous or uninspired. When styling with a restrained color palette, utilizing various shapes and forms can create distinct focal points, guiding the eye to particular elements within the room. The interplay of organic shapes will elevate the overall visual experience of your home, adding depth, character and personality, while maintaining the soft, chic value of a neutral room. Layer Various Textures Featured above is the Bellari Sofa and Lucia Ottoman. An impactful way to decorate with neutral decor while creating depth and visual interest is to layer a variety of different textures. Mixing neutral palettes with textural elements, such as wood, travertine, linen, wool or boucle, will assure that you maintain the timelessness and overall appeal of a neutral palette, while also creating focal appeal. The interplay of different textures, whether it's the softness of boucle or the roughness of natural wood, adds visual intrigue and balance to the serene neutrality of the space. Further, textures have the remarkable ability to enhance the functionality and comfort of a space, making it more welcoming and appealing to both the eye and the touch. Keep Lighting In Mind Lighting is a detriment part to the function of a room. When natural lighting casts a soft glow upon your walls, curtains, and furniture, the appearance of the colors and textures present tend to transform in perception. When designing your neutral home, keep in mind the impact lighting has on setting the tone and illuminating the room. Natural light specifically tends to evolve the way a neutral shade will appear, creating a vibrancy that can be more captivating and warmer toned than artificial lighting, which usually casts a cooler hue. Depending on the look you are aiming for, choose a color palette that is either a warm or cool neutral, as both can create differentiating affects. In some cases, mixing both warm undertones and cool hues can create a balanced feel to a neutral room, as light will reflect each differently. Style Your Neutral Home Effortlessly Featured above is Berlin Teddy Sofa, Crystal Candle, Sicily Concrete Accent Table, Sorento Sculpture, Medium Thora Vessel, Bellini Boucle Accent Chair, and Waverly Marble End Table.

While styling a neutral home may be thought of as vapid or lifeless, creating visual interest and charm to a monotonous color palette calls for attention to detail, as well as a balance between each piece present. The harmonious blend between the vast hues found in the depths of neutrality, in combination with the enriching textures within natural elements and textiles alike, creates dimension to an otherwise neutral space. Further, the adaptability and versatility of a neutral home allows for timelessness when it comes to designing your home, and an ease to the mind when deciphering which pieces to include to your collection. With our guide to styling your neutral space, we hope your inspiration will lead you to decorating with neutrals in a way that speaks to your character and allows your love of all things neutral to transpire in exceptional ways.

Achieving A Wabi Sabi Home
Featured above is the Blanca Vessel. The profound significance of our home lies in the objects that connect with our souls and shape our lives in unimaginable ways. Every piece, new and old, tells a story that is bridged to our very own, yet solitary in its own right. When designing a space, it is often essential to discover what elements we are drawn towards and how these characteristics speak to us. Reflect upon the intricate details and craftsmanship that is carefully brought to fruition by artisan hands. Of the many design styles to choose from, there are none quite like the Wabi Sabi aesthetic, a trend that has continuously gained favor over the past year. Cherishing the beauty within the imperfections, focusing on the raw, organic feel they bring into your home, is the beautiful philosophy Wabi Sabi is known for. This way of life focuses on allowing objects to speak for themselves in an authentic way, creating a space that is simple, yet elevated, and one-of-a-kind. Each object has its own purpose to be fulfilled, yet comes together in ideal harmony for a space that feels grounded and at peace. These key concepts resonate with us here at Bellari Home, as we feel that your home is more than a place to live, it is a lifestyle, a safe space and an ode to your being. As we continue to explore the ways to achieve a Wabi Sabi home, we invite you to get inspired and reflect on how this trend and philosophy can be the right fit for you. Follow along to learn more about the adored Wabi Sabi interior design style. What Is Wabi Sabi? Featured is the Sentiment Ravena Vessel. Wabi Sabi Style embraces the Japanese philosophy that nothing is perfect, finished or permanent, inviting you to live a more authentic, meaningful and fulfilling life. "Wabi-sabi" is a Japanese term that indicates a focus on finding beauty within life's flaws. Wabi translates to the beauty found among irregular or unbalanced things, while sabi means to accept the beauty of things that age. Together, this philosophy centers around the fleeting balance and understanding that all things are perfectly imperfect. The Seven Principles Of Wabi Sabi Featured above is the Livella Dining Table, Ferra Lily Candle Holder, and Terra Vessel. To truly grasp the significance of Wabi Sabi design in the realm of interior design, we must explore its seven fundamental philosophies. These principles seamlessly intertwine, shaping an informed outlook on this unique way of life. Fukinsei: Asymmetry Embracing the unpredictability and impermanence of life, emphasizing the importance of spontaneity and irregularity. Kanso: Simplicity Invites you to declutter your mind and simplify your life by focusing on the essentials. Shibumi: Beauty In The Understated Acknowledges finding the beauty within objects that are often overlooked or unseen. There is beauty in many simple and humble things in life. Shizen: Naturalness Highlights the importance and value of being in harmony with nature and appreciate our surroundings. Yugen: Profound Sense Of Mystery Find the beauty within the unknown and explore the many dimensions of life. Datsuzoku: Freedom From Habits Encourages individuals to break free from societal norms, daily routines and the ordinary, and to embrace their own unique qualities and the freedom from the conventional. Seijaku: Tranquility Seek the solidarity and stillness occurring within our chaotic lives. Ways To Incorporate Wabi Sabi Into Your Home Featured is the Luna Vessel, Goddess Sculpture, and Column Fluted Side Table. When it comes to Wabi Sabi home decor, elements that are prominent within this style tend to be neutral color palettes, one-of-a kind and earthy objects that age gracefully, and various textured, natural materials. The interconnectedness between these fundamentals is the result of allowing nature to take precedence in the home. Allow us to tap into the specifics of incorporating Wabi Sabi into your home decor. Natural Elements In a Wabi Sabi home, the allure of natural materials is undeniable. Wood, natural stone, and ceramics are prominent within this style, adding a touch of charm and softness with their earthly textures. You'll find this in coffee tables, sofas, home accessories like vases or sculptures, and lighting fixtures, just to name a few. The beauty lies in their ability to age gracefully and be appreciated for their weathered appearance. Each unrefined and imperfect piece will bring a sense of serenity and balance. When it comes to adding plants into your space, look for large, dried branches and statement florals or trees to be showcased in textural pots and vessels. Organic Color Palettes In the midst of deciding on which colors to implement into your home, take a look at the hues that are common within nature. Often this includes neutral palettes such as browns, greys, taupes, whites and creams. In a Wabi Sabi home, these are the sole colors that tend to be focused on throughout the entirety of the space. These colors evoke a sense of calmness and create a connection with nature, which is a crucial aspect of the Wabi Sabi philosophy. However, you should avoid using any bright, bold colors or overly saturated hues, as they tend to distract from the overall sense of tranquility. It is great to keep in mind how these colors appear when natural light is gracing them. A Wabi Sabi home tends to embrace the quality and warmth of natural light, therefore, you'll want to assure the colors chosen reflect the light in a graceful way. Raw, Curved Edges As mentioned, it is essential to embrace imperfection in all facets of life, as this is how we discover true authenticity. Curved objects evoke a sense of unpredictability and movement that contrasts with the static and angular line work often seen within modern design. When it comes to decor, Wabi Sabi draws inspiration from nature, appealing to the inherent beauty of natural shapes often found in our surroundings. Furniture with organic lines, sculptures with asymmetrical forms, and objects with raw, curved edges exemplify the essence of Wabi Sabi design. Avoid adding in objects that feel too polished or "perfect" in essence as this delineates from the organic feeling. Vintage & Vintage-Inspired Objects Whether old or new, objects that have a vintage feeling are a vital focal point in a Wabi Sabi home. These objects are more than simple decorations, but are a reflection of the philosophy of Wabi Sabi that celebrates the beauty of the imperfect, the impermanent and the incomplete. The organic and unique nature of vintage artifacts, and those that are inspired, provide an authentic look and feeling. Weathered bowls, textured vases, earthy coffee or side tables, and rigid paintings are all pieces that will add personal touches and a rustic, handmade feeling to your space. Incorporating vintage-inspired objects into your home not only provides aesthetic but also imbues the space with a sense of nostalgia and emotional connection. They serve as a reminder of the timeless beauty that lies in the impermanence of life and the fleeting nature of all things. Lots of Textures Textures are not only visually pleasing, but they also awaken our sense of touch. When you add varying textures to your space, you are creating depth, dimension, and visual intrigue. Along with the use of natural materials, such as wood, stone and ceramics, common textiles used in a Wabi Sabi space include linen, cotton, and wool. Maintaining Simplicity The concept of "less is more" is highlighted within Wabi Sabi interior design. Maintaining a simplistic approach to decorating is essential when styling your home. Focus on the pieces that are absolutely necessary for your space, ridding of any items you no longer need, or those that are not fulfilling their purpose any longer. This will provide a sense of clarity not only in your home, but within your daily life as well - a key philosophy in Wabi Sabi. Allow The Imperfections To Take The Stage Of the many ways to incorporate Wabi Sabi into your home, this can be a simple, impactful approach to this way of life. Allow the "flaws" of your space to be apart of your design style. The scratches on your coffee table, the cracks upon a vase, or the weathered look of your flooring all embrace the organic beauty common to the Wabi Sabi philosophy, while also inviting depth and history into your home. Featured above is the Tuscani Travertine Console Table and the Sorento Sculpture. Wabi Sabi teaches us to find beauty in even the most mundane areas of our lives or the imperfections within the world. Appreciating the small and subtle beauty within everyday things, allowing us to live our life to the fullest, in an authentic way. It's a positive shift in our mindset, offering us a chance to break free from the conventional, enabling us to embrace the beauty of imperfection and value the smallest details that create the greatest impact. When designing your Wabi Sabi space, it is essential to embrace natural and raw materials, neutral tones and hues, and organic silhouettes and textures. These elements hold great value and help create a tranquil atmosphere that aligns with the Wabi Sabi philosophy. A Wabi Sabi home is a powerful reminder of the impermanence of all things and the everlasting beauty of nature's fleeting moments. If you find yourself connected and inspired by the philosophy of Wabi Sabi, we offer you a chance to explore our collections, inspired by the timelessness, effortlessness, and beauty found in nature. Through our pieces, we provide a sense of nostalgia and an admiration of your surroundings. We were mentioned as a Wabi-Sabi design expert on the Redfin blog!

We hope you feel inspired and compelled to build your own space that speaks to you with beautifully curated, statement pieces and accessories. Take Note Of What You Have When designating an interior design style and contemplating what will work in your home, take note of the pieces and elements that currently exist within your space. This can especially be helpful if you're looking to update specific areas of your home, wanting to slowly swap out your current decor accessories or furniture pieces, or if you are working with a fixed budget. See which elements, colors, shapes and materials work together and what pieces you tend to gravitate towards. Focus on which pieces are essential for your space and how their function brings purpose to your decor. This will allow you to grasp a better understanding of the styles in which resonate with your goals and aesthetic. When you feel that you have deciphered which pieces are necessary for your home, conduct some research on which interior design styles your current elements fit within. Learn What You Do or Don't Like Discovering your decor style requires an understanding of what you like and dislike. This may lie within your existing decor and elements, objects you unearth within your surroundings, or interior designs that either deviate or align with your desired look. Whether you dislike a specific furniture style or have a non-negotiable material you want in your home, the basis of this knowledge will better help you simplify the process of your search, allowing for a seamless journey of designating a decor style. Create A Moodboard If you're one that seeks inspiration within various realms of life, always finding the interconnectedness between differing elements and structures, than this tip holds immense value for you! Gather all of your inspiration and decor favorites, taking clippings of the unique objects that catch your eye, and build out a moodboard. Take influences from art, history, nature, fashion, travel, movies, museums, buildings, or any other outlet that provides interior design inspiration. Make note of the fabrics, materials, colors, themes and symbols you find that you can visualize within your home, and see how they impact your emotions and senses. Building a Pinterest board, researching online, or flipping through magazines for specific designs and styles you adore is a great way to get creative, stay organized and be less likely to feel overwhelmed, as you'll have a concise place of reference to look back upon throughout the entire process and can easily interchange your board as you go along. Utilize Your Own Personal Style Quite like knowing your favorite blouse or pair of shoes, discovering your decorating style can be achieved by reflecting upon your personal style. The choices we make in how we dress ourselves speaks volumes about our preferences, interests, and the influences that shape our lives. Using your own distinctive style as guidance for home decorating can be a catapulting force that ultimately shapes our design styles and solidifies our decor choices. Take a look at your clothing, the colors, the style, the materials, the textures, and see how these elements come together to create your ideal look. Keep note of what pieces you repeat, what you gravitate towards, what pieces bring you comfort or what qualities stand out to you. Ask yourself "Is it timeless?", "Is it bold?", "Is it unique?", and allow your findings to be the answers to your own home contemplations. Your home decor style will translate your own unique style, and vise versa. This harmonious connection permeates every corner of your home, fostering balance, comfort, fun, and a bright perspective. Educate Yourself On Various Home Decor Styles Whether you're decorating your home for the first time, redesigning specific rooms or looking to decorate with a new style, grasp a better understanding of the particular style, or styles, in which best suits you. In the world of interior design, there is a vast surplus of design styles to choose from, therefore knowing what is commonly featured or what to expect within each is essential for gaging your perfect style. Conduct research on and discover the styles in which you feel pulled towards, seeking out the characteristics that make them unique for their specific category. Understand the different elements and features that are customary for each. Amidst the vast selection of styles within the realm of modern interior design, prominent and classic ones that are frequently heard of are Traditional, Midcentury Modern, Modern Farmhouse Style, Minimalism, Scandinavian or Industrial. As we recognize and value the many other styles to choose from, Bellari Home is most notably known for showcasing an organic feeling, earthy charm, and neutral color palette. We are consistently inspired by the attributes and aura of Wabi Sabi and Japandi interior design styles, creating a space that is rich in aesthetic, emotion and storytelling. So what does each decorating style entail? Wabi Sabi Wabi Sabi design is based on the Japanese philosophy that nothing is perfect, permanent or complete, ultimately embracing the beauty of the raw nature of elements, materials and shapes. You'll find an example of this in the organic designs of furniture pieces, accessories and overall home aesthetic, often showcasing unfinished edges, natural materials like wood or stone, or asymmetrical and curved lines. Japandi Japandi design is the fusion between Japanese and Scandinavian styles, which embraces a minimalist, clean and earthy feeling. Japandi interior design style combines the contentment and simplicity of Wabi Sabi philosophy and the coziness and comfort of Scandi interior design style. Through this style, you will see the maintenance of clean lines, neutral colors and elements, functional interiors, and bright spaces. Avoid Directly Copying Your Inspiration Throughout the quest for discovering the perfect home decor, seeking inspiration becomes a crucial part of the process. If you plan on utilizing visual influences, such as photographs pulled from interior design magazines or images found on Pinterest, stray away from directly copying your inspiration, in order to create a space that is uniquely your own style. For example, if you are researching a Wabi Sabi home and come across an image of a living or dining room that is captivating, be mindful of which details speak to you. Are you drawn to the furniture, or inspired by the paint colors? What textures and fabrics are being used? What silhouettes are common in the image? What ambience is being showcased here? What patterns remain consistent? When you take into account all of the varying components of the image itself, you can comprehend the key features of the design style, and make your space your own without needing to directly emulate the room itself. Take In New Surroundings Creativity emerges from experiencing an assortment of new surroundings. Traveling to new places, enjoying the outdoors, or reexamining a familiar space through a new lens, can offer a fresh perspective when taking in the beauty of what you are encompassed by. Reflecting upon the organic shapes and designs you find among your travels will inspire your decorating style. An invaluable piece of advice is to capture photographs of your findings to serve as references when you start creating a design plan. Know That It's Okay To Mix & Match Although it may be generally preferred to feature just one style within your space, know that it is acceptable to mix and match your decor styles if done in a functional and tactile way! It can be best to stay within a few varying styles, as anything more than this can cause visual frustration or a cluttered atmosphere. Most people tend to mix at least 2 or 3 styles, so don't feel as though you need to contain yourself to a single style. Without creating an overwhelming space filled with an abundance of different styles, find the common threads between the styles you do love. This can pertain to color palettes, fabrics, and silhouettes. With these tips, we aim to guide you on the right track of designing your perfect house, without feeling as though this is a daunting task. We understand the importance of building a home that is not only representative of your own personal design style, but one that allows you to feel comfortable, relaxed and at peace all the time. Remember that you don't have to work with only one style, as your own personal decorating style can be achieved through an accumulation of a few. May your journey of creating your ideal abode be imbued with simplicity and delight.

Inspired by the multifaceted concept of strength, as seen in the resilience to overcome adversity, the ability to learn from life's challenges, and the power to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Introducing, The Tuscani Travertine Collection. "We are here to elevate homes with conversation-starter pieces to make homeowners feel proud about their space," says founder, Maria Zare. "The natural beauty of travertine stone makes these tables stand out, and we are confident that they will be a popular addition to our product lineup." Behind the collection Strength is found in many forms - from the inspiring surroundings we allow within our lives to our daily abilities to evolve as individuals from our challenges and educating moments. Strength, however, is not a linear journey, and is found in both our darkest and lightest days, whether noticed or unrecognized. It is an unwavering moment that grounds and carries us through our path of transformation, ultimately reminding us of what it took to get there in the first place. Growing up, Maria was inspired by her father’s innate passion for finding the beauty within every vintage artifact he collected. Each piece had a story and he always recognized this, as he contemplated the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into making their unique forms. She often thinks back to the times she accompanied him to source these storytelling objects, leaving her in awe of his intrinsic love for design and history. His passion further transpired into eventually opening a vintage shop of his own in Mexico and a 10-year long journey of building a home entirely from the ground up. She recalls the warm, rustic palettes that went into the design of the home and the vintage and intentional pieces that filled his space - memories she will always hold close. When he passed away in 2020 from Covid, Maria inherited that same feeling she was able to witness her father experience. The fire he had lit inside her was one she knew she could not let burn out and the strength she accumulated from recalling her father’s passion was one that transcended into her own story. Today, we proudly introduce the launch of our Tuscani Travertine Collection, the outcome of the strength that is curated through hard work, dedication and the ability to persevere even when life gets heavy. Through the power of artistry, late nights, and trial and error, this collection represents the beauty found within imperfection and the appreciation of the natural elements we are often surrounded by. With this collection, we hope to show you that greatness, strength and durability is not only encapsulated within grand home decor, but within the timeless memories created when encompassed by inspiring handmade objects. WHY TRAVERTINE? Travertine is a type of natural limestone formed by mineral deposits typically found within hot springs. It is formed through a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, generally located at the entrance of a hot spring or within limestone caves. The common features of travertine contains a rusty-brown, beige and tan hue with a fibrous or porous appearance and a trusted sturdiness that can withstand many conditions, the main contributors as to why travertine is well sought after. As a natural stone, travertine holds a unique demeanor which is comparable to that of marble, however unlike marble, travertine tends to contain a weathered, antique finish that is unlike any other material it is typically categorized with, like granite or terrazzo. Bellari Home is known for an effortless demeanor within all of our decor staples, creating a space that is welcoming, warm and impactful - all characteristics that are found in natural travertine. Designing a travertine furniture collection, containing the decor essentials, was important to us as we wanted to provide not only style to your home, but decor that will last a lifetime. Travertine is known to be water and moisture resistant, easy to maintain, and gracefully ages with wear-and-tear without appearing dull and overused. Considering this aspect, we were further drawn to the neutral palettes that are offered by travertine stone, making for versatile options that can be utilized in nearly any home settings. We aimed to create a set of pieces that will resonate with anyone, whether that be for practicality or beauty. DETAILS & DESIGN Blending form, function, and aesthetic, the Tuscani Travertine Collection, exclusively designed by Bellari Home, features a coffee, side, and console table, crafted with high-quality travertine from Italy.

When choosing this design, we have kept in mind the functionality of travertine, as well as the aesthetic aspect it will provide for your home.

This travertine table collection is not only visually stunning but also reflects exceptional durability built to stand the test of time in all facets of life. We strongly believe that furniture items should be the catalyst to building connections and creating memories in the comfort of your own home.

Spring flowers, soft colors and enticing scents are suitable ways to fill our homes with springtime decor that is charming, tasteful and effortlessly timeless. With some great ideas to incite inspiration into your Spring home decor, we offer you a few wonderful tips to get you started on implementing springtime elements into your decor. We aim to show you that seasonal decor can often be pieces that will not only be used within a particular timeframe, but throughout each part of your years to come. Continue reading if you are looking forward to adding a springtime feel into your own home decor. Bring Nature Inside With Fresh Spring Flowers & Greenery The change to a new season is the opportunity to embark on a journey of growth in all aspects of our lives, including reinvigorating our homes. When we contemplate Spring, we often connect nature's innate beauty of fresh flowers and greenery, warm sunny days and the enriching sense of new life. With this in mind, there are a few ways to bring these essential Spring elements to make a huge difference to your environment. A simple idea to achieve a bright, springtime look is by filling your home with fresh or faux flowers, green foliage or spring branches. Whether adding subtle greenery such as baby's breath and twigs, or more focal amounts with tulips and daffodils, adding life into your home begins with a beautiful floral arrangement containing your favorite flowers or foliage. Not only are flowers inherently elegant and captivating, but they are a straightforward way to bring natural elements into your space, without the commitment of rearranging your whole decor. Whether they are placed in a Spring vignette or as a standalone piece, flowers are a beautiful touch to any home. Pair your arrangements with a timeless vase, placed atop a coffee table, console table or a dining room table to bring earthy elements all around your home. If you are looking for a more long-lasting way to create this effect, use faux flowers instead of fresh, this way you can rid of the worry of replacing your arrangements as the weeks pass and can easily reuse for anytime you prefer. Using faux flowers is further an exceptional idea if you like to reposition your arrangements for a fresh look each week. Finding a vase is all part of the fun and will instantly change the appearance of a room. Vases such as our Loretta Vases, Terra Vessel or Valentina Ringlet Vase, are idyllic for brilliantly displaying flower arrangements, as well as adding into your everyday decor with their timeless silhouettes and neutral designs. Style a spring vignette Styling a Spring vignette creates a moment within your home that tells a story and shares the ambiance of springtime. A vignette can be styled atop a dining table, within your living room on a coffee table, in your entry way, or even on your kitchen counter. When you place this styling element within your home, you create a focal point that captures Spring in a way that is paralleled to your home aesthetic. To style this, use various candles and candle holders, pops of greenery, and trays and smaller decor elements to create the ideal Spring look. Fill Your Home With Spring Scents Not only can we visually experience the beauty of Spring, but we can bask in the refreshing aromas that come with it. While filling your home with particular scents is an individualized preference, many common fragrances to implement into your space this season tend to be light, airy, floral and woodsy. Using candles and scent diffusers are an excellent way to achieve this, as they can easily be interchanged and you can experiment with various scents you may be interested in. Springtime Candles If you aim to discover a specific fragrance to fill your home with, using a candle is the best way to do this. With candles, you are able to source certain notes that adequately represent springtime to you, such as lavender, lilies, or vanilla musk. As mentioned, scents are personal to each household, so finding your own perfect scent can be trial and error, as you'll want to locate one that is versatile enough for everyday use. Our Crystal Candle, available is three sizes, offers an effortless silhouette that will bring warmth, shape and luminosity to your home. With a neutral color befitting for every home and an intricate scent of white tea ginger root, you will easily achieve the beautiful scent of Spring within your abode with its impressive fragrance that you can even experience when the candle is unlit. If you plan on creating a beautiful Spring tablescape or simply like to feature various candles and candleholders for depth and dimension, see our luxurious range of candles and candleholders that pair perfectly with the Crystal Candle - we know you will absolutely love them! Use a diffuser Although candles offer an alluring glow within your space, a diffuser is a substantial choice if you are searching for a long-lasting option to provide a fragrance throughout the entirety of your home. With diffusers, you are able to customize your scent or utilize your favorite essential oils over a longer duration of time, making them well worth the investment. Our waterless and heatless, Bel-Air Diffuser, features a high-quality, innovative technology that evenly disperses fragrance throughout your home. Since it contains such a unique system and design, you will be able to enjoy your favorite scents without the worry or hassle of leaving a candle on. Pair it with our White Tea Diffuser Oil, curated from the perfect blend of white tea leaves, calming Geranium and a hint of musk and vanilla - an exceptional scent that is reminiscent of the season of Spring. Place the diffuser within your living room for optimal usage and for the best scent experience. Lighten Your Color Palette & Textiles Time to put away the heavy blankets, dark pillows and bulky textures, because Spring is all about bringing in subtle, light colors and soft textiles to evoke an uplifting atmosphere within your space. Bright neutrals and gentle pastel shades are the color scheme for all that is springtime. Exchanging your darker pieces for lighter ones is essential if you are aiming for the light, calming effect of Spring decor. Whether you are decorating a neutral home or looking to add a pop of spring color, you can achieve these visual accents in a variety of ways - from furniture and rugs to throw pillows and table accessories. Styling with light color schemes make for a spacious appearance that adds vibrancy to any home, as well as a timeless and breathtaking look. Give your home a new life by allowing our elegant furniture and home accessories to be your ideal Spring decor, creating the serene oasis you are looking for. Use Curves & Organic Shapes In Your Spring Decor With an emphasis on bringing nature into the home, curves and organic shapes are leading elements to make way this Spring. The deviation from hard lines and sharp angles adds softness to the home and embraces the unique qualities found within objects from nature. From rounded and arched furniture to curvy accent pieces, all are essential to forming this balance and airiness that is encouraged in Spring decor. Using curved and organic shapes are not only visually intriguing as they produce harmonious balance within the home, but they are also versatile and provide more depth and rustic elements that creates an earthy, playful feeling. If you're looking to fully refresh your interior decor, adding in curved sofas, coffee tables and accent tables are common ways to play on this motif. The soft edges of statement furniture are prominent in modern design, expressive of the elegance and structure within retro-styled or vintage furniture. If you're feeling hesitant to fulfill those design commitments, accent decor is a simple, yet high impact way to bring curvaceous elements into your space. Handcrafted vases, sculptures and candle holders featuring raw edges and unique twirls offer an innate beauty and elegance. Pieces like our Goddess Sculpture, Terra Vessel, Paper Mache Bowls, and Descanso Marble Taper Holders perfectly establish this look. With the coming season, we hope you find inspiration in all that you are surrounded by. The beauty of nature is constantly evolving as the seasons change, and implementing these organic elements into your home will make for spring decor that is effortlessly charming and elegant. While spring decor can vary from featuring items for particular holidays, you can further invest in pieces that are versatile for everyday use. With these few spring decorating ideas, we wish you a happy spring filled of memories shared with loved ones, a home you are inspired by, and a space you enjoy being in.

These Textures Are The Most Stylish To Have In Your Home
When decorating a home, we often ask ourselves "what elements should be our key focus to making our space really feel like a cohesive home?" And to answer this, we are here to tell you that while each part plays a role in forming your home into a haven you enjoy for its function, comfort and appeal, creating balance, interest and an overall ambiance is essential to fully achieve a space that feels as charming as it appears. And what is the best way to go about this? A simple answer – by incorporating varying textures into your design. Our surroundings are a strong influence on our emotions, especially one's that we are consistently existing within. Colors, patterns and textures affect our moods with their ability to entice our senses. Styling a space with textural home decor makes for an environment that is warm and dimensional, and is a great way to assure your home is complete in every aspect. If you're wondering how and why you should add texture into your home, follow along, as we breakdown what to expect and what you will gain when adding various textures into your space, as well as which textures are the most stylish to have in your home. Why You Should Add Texture To Your Living Space As mentioned, the way our home is adorned can often alter the way we feel, specifically as a result of what elements are prevalent within our space. Texture is quite an important feature to implement into your design plan, as it can further provoke particular emotions within a room and take the look of an entire space to elevated heights. It not only changes the way a room feels, but alters how it visually appears, inviting a sense of comfort and multi-dimension. For example, layering wood and terracotta together can incite a rustic and earthy touch, that generates a relaxing and cozy aura, benefiting your emotions in positive ways. When it comes to designing a home, often times texture can be overlooked, as other elements like wall colors and color palettes tend to be the main focus, since they involve tremendous decision making. However, designing your home and layering with copious textures, whether that be with a throw rug, accessories or furniture, is essential to bringing new life and character to the room, and to avoid the space seeming dull or flat. Deciding which textures can be immense, as there are so many options to choose from, fortunately, we have narrowed a few of the trendiest to feature within your home. Which Textures Are Trending Within Interior Design? Personalizing your decor is an individual journey, as you want to fuse your interests and identity into your aesthetic. You may want to locate pieces that are aligned with your home decor goals or choose objects that fill a specific purpose within your space. While this may be the case, it can also be a helpful head start to designate what textures are the most prominent and trending within interior design. With countless textures and textiles circling within the design world, a few standout when it comes to applying visual texture into your home, including travertine, marble, wood, and boucle, as they create depth, warmth and focal interest, and can easily be found in a variety of decor options. Follow along as we ponder these favored elements to include in your space. Let's Talk Travertine So, what is travertine? While we have dived deep into the trend of travertine, we'd like to break down a few key attributes as to why this material is here to stay. Travertine is a type of natural limestone, formed by mineral deposits made from hot springs. Typically, it is found in rusty-brown, cream and tan hues with a fibrous or porous appearance. The appeal of travertine is its subtle earthy-tones and soft speckled texture, as well as its ability to be long-lasting and resilient to extreme damage and strong weather conditions. As travertine ascends in popularity, it can be found in tremendous and minuscule designs, such as kitchen or bathroom flooring or modern coffee tables and accent pieces. Whichever form travertine takes, it invites a rigid, yet elegant touch of texture in a way that is not as traditional as marble or granite. Marble Is A Must Let's uncover everything about marble! Marble is a metamorphic rock that is the result of the metamorphosis of many rocks undergoing various pressure and heat changes, including calcite, limestone, dolomite and serpentine. These metamorphic changes creates a significant appearance of distinct veining and rich pockets of contrasting hues. It is well sought-after, as marble has the ability to enhance a space with timeless luxury and has durability unlike many other materials. Known for its classic look of white and grey, marble can also be found in non-traditional, vibrant colors that will add an eccentric pop of color to your home. Since marble is profoundly and inherently luxurious and textural, styling a space with marble comes easy, as it has the ability to transform the room in the blink of an eye. See our Elevated Collection and Livella Marble Collection to find those special pieces to enhance your home. Wondering About Wood? From oak and mahogany to redwood and cedar, wood is a material that is commonly featured in many homes as it never goes out of style. With a substantial shift towards adding organic elements inspired by Nature within the home, also known as Biophilic design, and maintaining a down-to-earth atmosphere, wood furnishings are often sustainably crafted pieces that can easily exist within any abode and have consistently remained relevant over time. Versatility and resilience are key features that surround the significance of decorating with wood decor, since it can be located in a variety of shades, tints, and styles, and is long-lasting and needs hardly any aftercare or maintenance. Wood tends to carry more visual weight among other elements and generates a more rustic and organic feeling, mainly due to the variations of wood that can be found throughout Nature. Bring A Touch Of Boucle Stemming from the French term "boucle" meaning to "loop" or "curl", boucle fabric is the result of looped yarn, also known as boucle yarn, being woven into a single fabric. The fabric is produced from looped yarn of at least two strands, being spiraled together to create a loose yarn effect, appearing rugged and fleece-like. Boucle fabric is notably known to be crafted from wool, however, it now exists in an assortment of forms such as linen, silk, polyester, and cotton. From afar, boucle constructs a harmonious texture that is gentle on the eyes, and up close, has a unique looped quality that is soft to the touch. Boucle, well-known for its ivory and cream color scheme and durable qualities, is an instant and effortless way to add texture into a space, functioning well within any decor style. Due to the adaptability of boucle fabric, you can find this brilliant textile in a surplus of forms, from sofas and accent chairs to pillows and throws. Textured furniture specifically is on the rise, as it is often the first item you see upon entering a room and provides immediate depth to the space, so adding a boucle sofa or accent chair is the most common way this fabric is seen throughout homes. Subtle Ways To Add Texture Committing to major decor pieces, like furniture and rugs, may not of interest to you at the current moment, however this doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot add textural elements to your space in an impactful and easy way. Statement objects like coffee tables and sofas inspire an eye-catching focal point, but sourcing pieces that incorporate your preferred materials are just as beneficial, as they can be easily moved around your home and will be purposeful within any room. Candle holders crafted from luxurious marble or vases sculpted with terracotta can assist in creating the eye-catching depth you are aiming for. Intricate details make a difference when it comes to adding texture, so try not to exclude embracing texture within your accent pieces. With this in mind, experience the beauty of artful objects with our range of textured elements to include in your home. Texture's ability to transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary is reasoning as to why it is essential to apply specific elements to your home. When we have the opportunity to reflect on particular shapes and structures, we are transcended to a place that offers excitement and intrigue, as well as comfort and tranquility. A fundamental idea to keep on top of mind while layering various textures and textiles is to stray from going overboard when mixing different materials. Try to decorate with 2 to 3 different textures within your home, as too much texture can appear overwhelming and evade from the balance you are looking for. With styling a home comes many lessons of trial and error, but here at Bellari Home, we aim to provide you with insight on the upcoming trends to help inspire you to make the best decisions for you and your home.

Although this can seem laborious, there are a few steps to help you narrow down your search. One of the most important steps is to measure your current space, as you don't want to purchase a coffee table that is too small or too big for the room. Keep in mind the look you are going for, as well as the function of the coffee table in the area it is being placed in, as you'll always need enough space. A coffee table should be roughly 14 to 18 inches away from the sofa or any chairs in order to maintain room for comfortable movement. It is also key to find a table that is two inches lower than the sitting height so any guests you have over can sit with ease. You'll also want to find a coffee table shape that pulls together the look of the room. If you have a smaller space to style, try using an oval or a rectangle coffee table. A square or round coffee table is ideal for styling larger living areas, as this is most suitable for larger and longer seating arrangements. Now that you've learned the basics, here comes the fun part – finding a coffee table that fits your particular theme and style. With an array of coffee tables to choose from, such as glass, wood, marble or travertine, aiming to maintain your decor theme should aways be on the top of the list. Try finding a table that coordinates with your sofa and other decor elements that are existing within your space, acknowledging the textures, color scheme, materials and shapes. Since coffee tables are quite an important item to include in your space, investing in high-quality, durable and long lasting pieces are well worth it. Find our Livella Marble Coffee Table to be both a stylish and substantial option that will function well in any space, with a neutral color palette, polished rectangular shape, and sturdy marble material. Style Your Coffee Table In Odd Numbers Of all of the styling tips to utilize as you decorate your coffee table, styling your pieces in odd numbers can be one of the simplest and most beneficial in guiding your decorating, not only when it comes to your coffee table decor, but throughout your design journey in any area of your home. The Rule of Three is an ancient interior design tip that has proven to work in many decor settings. This standard finds that styling your objects arranged in a set of three makes for a more appealing and balanced table design, and is much simpler to manage when it comes to styling. The reason the Rule of Three is so successful is due to the way our brain arranges items when they are visualized, as three is the smallest number that can be used to create identifiable pattern within our minds, and odd numbered items allows our eyes to graze between each piece making for focal intrigue. In order to adequately accomplish this look, divide your coffee table into three sections and style your pieces accordingly, within each of those sections. Quick tip: While three is a superb way to start styling your table, you can also achieve this look with five, seven, and nine. Design With Decorative Books A quick and easy way to add height and character is to utilize books! Decorative coffee table books can be great conversation starters, or enjoyable reading material for you and your guests to flip through, but can also serve as a great styling tool for layering multiple items. Stacking books will implement height and perfectly house any smaller decor items, like a small vase, decorative chain or a candle. You can additionally use books that reflect your interests and personality which will be superb in adding a sense of your identity into your decor. In need of the perfect coffee table book? Look no further! Our inexpensive designer decorative books are the must-have staple pieces to liven up your table with elegance and luxury, without the expensive costs. Use Items With Varying Heights & Textures With guidance from the Rule of Three, determining your coffee table setup will easily flow when deciding what pieces to implement into your look. This design plan is key in knowing which pieces will work in your space and how to add the appropriate amount of texture and visual interest. An important part of decorating a coffee table is to mix and match with objects of different sizes and materials. Styling decorative items with varying heights and textures will draw the eyes in, as it provides balance, warmth and dimension. Using pieces like a sophisticated vase, candle holders and coffee table books will liven up the display of your living room. Always be sure to include a larger centerpiece on your table, such as a statement sculpture or a vase filled with dried plants or a bright bouquet, as this will create an eye-catching focal point on your coffee table. If you're looking to add texture and luxurious decorative objects to your coffee table, find an array of beautiful and timeless home decor pieces that can be utilized in a variety of ways. You'll be sure to find the right pieces for you and your home! Use A Tray When in doubt, use a tray! An excellent way to fill up space, and to avoid creating overwhelming clutter is with a tray. A tray can be both purposeful and stylish by organizing your decor pieces and home essentials, as well as showcasing other decor elements. Stack a luxe candle, eye catching coasters or decorative books atop your tray, or simply use your tray to house your remote controls and other loose household items.

This is one of the easiest ways to take the pieces you love and create something new without the pressure of switching everything up. Start by deciding what room you are looking to change, and come up with a plan on where to place each item. Remember to always keep the function of the room in mind when you decide on where each item will go. It can also be helpful to start with the largest furniture in the room, as this will take the majority of the space. Switching pieces from room to room, like art work or table accessories, can help you achieve a redefined look for the space you are rearranging. If you feel like changing up the appearance of your pieces, while still rearranging your current ones, try swapping out some of your furniture items or adding in new accessories that will enhance the look of what you currently have. For example, swapping out pieces for a new lamp, coffee table or vase, can completely change the atmosphere within a room and make your current furniture stand out like never before. Enhance Your Living Space With Fresh Scents Create an environment you love with a new aroma. An excellent way to revive your home is to add fresh scents into your space, especially with candles or diffusers. Adding in a new, refreshing fragrance will create an ambiance that will spark warmth, transition, and a fresh air that will captivate you, your household, and your guests the minute they walk into your home. Start your new year with our signature scent of White Tea, with our Crystal Candle and new Bel-Air Scent Diffuser. Our customer-loved scent will have your home smelling beautifully, with the gentle and natural scent of white tea ginger that is combined with a slight hint of musk and vanilla. A perfect, versatile aroma to showcase throughout the remainder of Winter and as we embark upon Spring. Add In New Accessories & Wall Art If you find yourself wanting to gradually shift the style of your house or ready to swap out a few pieces you've been meaning to rid of, the easiest way to do so while making a huge impact is by decorating with a new piece of wall art or styling with table accessories. This way, you can easily liven up your decor without the commitment and hassle of moving around furniture or larger items, and without having to redesign your entire room. Not only are you able to move these items into any room you choose, but they are versatile pieces that can truly change the focus of any area they are placed in. Changing up your wall art will add a refreshing dynamic into your space, and add a beautiful touch of personality as well. After all, artwork is used as a mirror of our self-expression, so why not change your wall artwork as the year changes. Updating and adding in new table furnishings is a fun, creative and manageable way to gradually implement small and simple changes towards a bigger impact. It is ideal for subtly altering the mood of your home as the year goes on, especially if you are looking to build upon a new interior style. Mix In New Shapes and Textures Feeling like your space needs to be spiced up? The trendiest style to make way into the home this upcoming year is by layering multiple textures and shapes, as it invites a natural and relaxing feel. Heighten any table scape, shelves, or bedroom by layering with various textures, like wood, marble, terracotta, or concrete. Use fun shapes within your area, such as curved sculptures like our Goddess Sculpture, unique vases like our Valentina Ringlet Vase, or with enticing candleholders like our Ebony Candelabra collection. Play around with textures that provide warmth and character, such as that of our Tierra Vessel, Marbella Beech Coffee Table, or Bellari Sofa. Whichever you choose, you can never go wrong with adding multiple textures throughout a room to create an astonishing focal point. Set Your Home Decor Goals With every new year means new goals, so setting your home decor goals can be essential as a reminder of what you are looking to achieve within the year. To do this, you can create a list, whether that be on a planner or calendar, to jot down any specific interior design goals you are looking to meet. Some goals may be more long term or strenuous than others, so keep this in mind as you set plans for a particular timeline. Getting rid of previous home decor allows you to make way for any goals or updates you were looking to achieve in the new year, but it can also be key to map out what is attainable for each month or week.
