The March Edit:
A Seasonal Shift from Winter to Spring

March always feels like a turning point. The days get longer, the sun starts peeking through, and suddenly, you shift into full-on spring mode! There’s just something about this time of year that makes you want to refresh every little corner of your home. The heavy throws get swapped for lighter layers, the rich, cozy candles make way for fresh florals, and you find yourself gravitating toward brighter, fresher, and slightly more playful pieces.

Spring is all about transition—warmer days mixed with cooler nights, and a shift in hosting that goes from fireside gatherings to patio dinners. With Easter on the horizon and more time spent outdoors, this edit is filled with pieces that make hosting, styling, and refreshing feel effortless.

Tile of the Month: A Modern ClassicElegant white marble mosaic tile with a geometric lattice pattern, featuring subtle natural veining for added depth and texture.

If you’ve been dreaming about a home refresh but don’t know where to start, here’s an idea. I’m head over heels for this pattern and coloring: Geometric Polished Marble Mosaic Tile. This one is having a moment right now, and for good reason! Classic marble will always be timeless, but this fresh geometric pattern gives it a modern edge that works in many spaces—bathrooms, kitchens, even an accent wall. The mix of warm beiges, soft golds, and cool grays makes it versatile enough to compliment both traditional and contemporary designs. I’ve been itching to try this in a bathroom, and think it would add just the right amount of subtle texture while keeping things elegant.


Spring Hosting & Tabletop Finds

Now that winter is behind us (finally!), get ready to take full advantage of hosting outdoors, setting beautiful tables, and bringing in little elements that make everyday moments feel special. Here are some of my best ideas!

Elegant spring tablescape featuring a layered mix of textures—woven rattan placemats, embroidered linen napkins, and vintage-inspired floral plates—creating a warm, inviting setting for seasonal gatherings.

Rattan Placemats – Try keeping your dining table set throughout the day. It instantly makes a space feel styled, and you never know when someone might stop by! These placemats add the perfect layer of warmth and texture to a spring tablescape.

Linen Napkins – I always say, invest in beautiful napkins, and your table instantly looks pulled together. This set has a gorgeous texture that adds to that effortless spring hosting vibe.

Cake Stand – A simple way to elevate (literally!) any table setting. Use it for desserts, but also as a centerpiece base. Just add candles, florals, or a bowl of fruit, and you have an instant styled moment.

Thistle Beer Glass – A unique piece that feels like a little treasure on your table. The delicate detailing adds such special touch to everyday moments.

And, if you’re in the market for a new dining table … this is one of my favorites as of recent! I love a black dining table, and bonus points for this one being round. Great for fostering good convos, and the round shape allows everyone to feel included.

 


The Spring Refresh: Décor & Styling

One of my favorite things about the seasonal shift is swapping out cozy winter textures for pieces that feel lighter and more airy.

 

Green Hutch with Floral Interior – A traditional-style green-painted wooden hutch with glass doors and a hand-painted botanical interior, offering a timeless and charming way to display dishware and collectibles.

 

Basil-Colored Hutch – This piece is stunning. It’s a statement hutch that not only adds storage, but also acts as a display moment. The soft green feels fresh for spring, and pairs beautifully with both neutrals and warm wood tones.

A close-up of the clawfoot tub with a rustic woven basket filled with fringed towels, sitting atop a terracotta hexagon-tiled floor. The gold faucet and a soft linen curtain add to the warm and inviting aesthetic, while the candle sconces on the wall cast a soft glow.

 

Double-Arm Iron Wall Sconce – We just installed this in our bathroom, and it instantly elevated the space. No hardwiring required—just an easy way to add a stylish, cozy glow to any blank wall.

Handled Vase – Whether styled with fresh florals or left empty on a shelf, this piece has that perfect balance of rustic and refined. The shape and texture make it feel effortlessly collected.

Aged Terracotta Pots (Set of 3) – Perfect for patios or styling indoors with fresh herbs. The weathered look gives them a collected-over-time feel, and it’s an easy way to bring in natural elements.

(Not your regular) Scalloped Bowl – Whether used for serving or as a decorative shelf piece, this bowl is so good! It feels organic and not too perfect—those little imperfections make it feel unique and timeless.

Crystal Bedside Carafe – A carafe is one of those understated luxuries that makes your nighttime routine much easier. Never go to bed thirsty again! I love the etching on this one. Impress your guests … or simply pamper yourself.

Rattan Floor Lamp with Black Base – A unique asymmetrical floor lamp with a woven rattan shade and a sleek black metal stand, adding a mix of organic texture and modern design.

Rattan Floor Lamp – Lately, I’ve been loving unexpected accent lighting. This one has a unique silhouette, and the contrast between the metal and rattan is something that tickles the right part of my brain. This option can go with many different interior styles. Try it behind a couch, between two chairs, or practically anywhere that could use some light that doubles as a sculptural piece!

A New Pillow Addition – Neutral, soft, but such a GOOD pattern … I recommend this pillow if you have a neutral palette already going, but want to incorporate some fun! It has a neutral base, but the colors are slightly springy.


Fashion & Everyday Staples

Lighter layers, effortless details, and a mix of classic meets modern.

Green Floral Long-Sleeve Dress – A vintage-inspired green floral maxi dress with long sleeves, featuring a delicate pink and gold pattern, perfect for spring gatherings, graduations, or garden parties.

 

Green Floral Dress (perfect for every spring occasion) – I’m eyeing this for several occasions—our middle child’s graduation (Go Ducks!), Mother’s Day, spring break … the list goes on. It’s just one of those pieces that feels timeless and feminine, but still fresh.

Suede Flats – I’m tall, so I’m a total flats girl. Obsessed with these suede square-toed ones by Sam Edelman. They instantly make any outfit feel 10x more elevated than with sneakers. I wear mine around the house — they are that comfortable.


A Hint of Silver: The Theme This Season

I’ve been gravitating toward silver accents lately—it just feels old-world and chic. I found these silver trays on Etsy, one of my favorite places to source vintage tabletop items.

 

Vintage silver serving pieces with a beautifully aged patina, reflecting warm tones and timeless elegance—perfect for adding a touch of old-world charm to any tablescape.

 

Silver Elongated Serving Tray with Handles – A narrow, antique-style gold serving tray with raised edges and two handles, perfect for displaying candles, drinks, or appetizers in an elevated way.

Silver Taper Candle Holders – They add just the right amount of contrast on a table, a mantel, or a styled console. Pair them with double-arm iron sconces for that layered candlelight moment.

Silver Tray – The ultimate hosting staple—use it for serving, styling, or as a base for a coffee table vignette.

Silver Coupe Glasses – I know I already mentioned these, but they’re just that good. They instantly make any drink or tablescape feel elevated.

A little greenery goes a long way and the right garland goes even farther... I’m not decorating this year, but putting this together reminded me how much joy the little things bring.
If Christmas snuck up on you (same), this is your sign: you don’t need a full makeover to make your home feel festive. A strand of good garland, a ribbon moment, and a few twinkly lights.
Comment ‘HOLIDAY’ and I’ll send over our favorite garlands, plus the prettiest bows + ribbons to finish the look!
In my 40s, I was a stay-at-home mom, my husband had lost his job, and we were having to sell the home we’d poured our hearts into. 
Over the years, I’d designed and renovated our own spaces, even worked with an architect on our most ambitious project yet, and helped friends here and there. But never thought it could be my career.
Then our realtor asked, “Who designed this?” When I said it was me, she said: “Allison… why aren’t you doing this for a living?”
I didn’t have a degree or a portfolio… just grit, a dream I didn’t know I was holding, and three kids watching me start over. So I took the leap and launched Allison Clouser Interiors.
That leap became Clouz Houz—projects across the country, virtual clients, offering full-service work in Oregon and (now!) middle Tennessee. 
Somehow, along the way, our work started getting noticed. A gift I still don’t take for granted.
If you’re at the edge of something scary, know this: you’re never too old, too late, or too far behind.
You can start fresh.
You can build the life you’ve dreamed of.
You can surprise yourself.
All the tips and deets I shared on the blog yesterday… comment ‘BLOG’ and I’ll send you there.
I grew up with a mom that was Martha 2.0 and I inherited that same love for effortless, elevated hosting.
The truth? You don’t need to be perfect. A few simple ingredients, a little intention, and the people you love is all it takes to make memories that last a lifetime.
The Clouz Houz philosophy has always been simple: soul over perfection. We design homes that look lived-in, loved, and layered. Never sterile, never one-note.
Our process is rooted in mixing: mixing texture, mixing eras, mixing personal history with sculptural, collected pieces that bring depth and personality to a room.
When you work with us, you’re not getting a look….. you’re getting a story - one that grows with you.
If your home feels a little too “flat” we can help you create a space that feels uniquely yours!
