Alba White Alabaster Dual Wall Sconce

If you’ve been saving images of character-filled spaces with a little edge, a little history, and a lot of charm—but have no idea how to actually pull it all together—this one’s for you.

Comment “STYLE” and we’ll send you our full guide to Understated Eclectic: shoppable moodboards, product links, expert styling notes, and the exact tools we use to make a space feel layered and lived-in (in all the right ways).

This style has kind of crept up on me... in the best way. It’s never been about flashy trends or overly curated spaces—it’s the kind of look that feels collected, like you’ve slowly gathered pieces over time and somehow they just work together. I love that it’s a little playful, a little refined, a little lived-in. Nothing too perfect. A total “cool girl” vibe.

And honestly? That’s the trick to pulling it off-restraint. It’s really easy to go overboard with eclectic style and suddenly feel like you’re living inside a thrift store. But when you get the balance right... texture, scale, color, negative space-it’s magic.

If you’re in that phase of decorating where everything feels a little off or unfinished, this guide might help you zoom out and reset. It’s full of the tools I use when I’m styling or reworking a room—and it’s designed to help you make decisions with confidence, not second-guess every pillow or lamp.

Send it to a friend if they’re stuck in the Pinterest spiral too.

Oh my gosh you guys!! Never in a million years would I have imagined myself posting about my life and work on social media—let alone reaching 10k followers. It’s wild. I know that number might feel small in the grand scheme of things, but to us, it’s a very big deal.

I still remember the awkwardness of showing up here in the beginning… trying to find the balance between personal and professional, wondering if anyone would even care what I had to say or share (can’t say this has changed 🤪). But, I set out anyway to inspire and empower people that anyone can achieve a space that is authentically beautiful and personal. We started sharing tips in our blog, and how we approach design in hopes it helped others, and now launching our digital Design Guides— our way to help “guide” (dad joke) people through the process for defining their home style. And now, to think there are 10,000 of you following along—it kind of blows my mind. 🥹

When we decided to go all in on this biz- we knew it would be a marathon not a sprint. There’s been many late night conversations around who we are and what we wanted to achieve. And at times it has been very vulnerable. Sharing our story of starting our lives over at 50 and turning it into something beautiful. Something bigger.

Whether you have been here from the time the train left the station or you just jumped on- I just want to say thank you. Truly. For being here. For commenting, saving, sharing, sending sweet DMs, and making this space feel like something more than just an app. It’s a place of connection.

So here’s to whatever’s next. To more connection, more inspiration, and more showing up even when it’s a little scary. 💛

I might be a little biased with this one—it hits close to home in more ways than one. This style reflects a way of living that’s grounded and intentional... rooted in nature, but designed for everyday ease. It’s where modern functionality meets the kind of rustic character that only gets better with time.

We created the Clouz Houz Design Guides to help you incorporated this style into your home with confidence! Check it out, link in bio.
