The Clouz Houz Picks for a Stylish July

A Fresh Take on July: The Edit

There’s something about Oregon in July that just hits different—maybe it’s the rhythm of warm nights, backyard hangs, and the buzz of the Fourth that lingers even after the firework parade. This month’s edit is all about capturing that Americana energy—but with a fresh twist.

We love to play with trends (they’re fun for a reason!), but we also believe in curating a home and lifestyle that has staying power. So, we pulled together pieces that feel relevant right now, while still holding their own long after the month wraps. Think: rattan, gingham, and rope details that feel just right for summer—but done the Clouz Houz way.

If you know me by now, you know how much I love setting a pretty table, and I bet you do too! There’s nothing better than a alfresco dinner after the sun goes down. From elevated tabletop picks to cozy summer lounge looks, these are our thoughtfully curated finds for the season.

Bonus: there are a ton of Amazon gems in the mix, because practicality and prime shipping never go out of style! Whether you’re styling your Fourth of July gathering or just giving your everyday July routine a refresh, this edit is designed to carry you through all the sun-drenched moments ahead.

A curated collage titled "The July Edit" from Clouz Houz Interior Design Studio, featuring stylish summer home and lifestyle items. Includes a sculptural rattan chaise lounge, bamboo-handle flatware, green and blue Ginori plate, white ruffle-edge pillow, green rechargeable table lamps, rope drawer pulls, black hurricane candle holders, a scalloped cream ceramic bowl, denim ruffle napkins, red quilted travel pouch, green and white ginger jar, blue linen lounge set, wicker tealight holders, and an outdoor scene with floral cushions by a pool.


Patio & Outdoor Vibes

A sculptural, wave-like rattan chaise with an open-weave design and arched rockers, perfect for outdoor lounging.

Lounge Chair
We don’t own this one (yet), but wow—this chair is such a cool find. The silhouette feels fresh and a little sculptural, while the natural material adds that earthy texture to a patio. Imagine it styled with a fun throw pillow, or even layered with a striped cushion for lounging into the evening. It instantly elevates an outdoor space.

Outdoor String Lights
For an Amazon product, I was honestly surprised by how cute and unique these string lights looked. They feel rustic and charming—definitely a step up from your basic bulb string lights. Perfect for patios, backyards, or balconies. And, they give the softest glow ✨

Colorful patterned floor cushions are laid out on a terracotta patio, paired with small wooden stools holding pink drinks and ceramic dishes. Rattan lanterns are scattered along the pool’s edge, creating a cozy, boho-inspired outdoor lounge setup.

Tufted Cotton Floor Cushion
Okay, I’ve wanted one of these forever! It’s giving casual boho garden lounge, but still feels intentional. Use this floor cushion for extra seating, a cozy reading nook outside, or just to toss around with a picnic blanket. Would also be super cute in a little outdoor hangout zone on a nice July evening — or any evening, for that matter.

Wicker Tealight Holder
This piece is tiny but mighty—it can hold a candle or be used as a mini vase for small blooms. We all love items that can multitask, and this one would be so sweet scattered across an outdoor table or styled on a tray.

Tabletop & Entertaining

An outdoor summer dining table set with woven placemats, green and blue patterned plates, bamboo-handled flatware, and vintage-inspired amber glasses. A green rechargeable table lamp and a white planter with fresh rosemary add a charming and functional centerpiece to the natural, sunlit setup.

Bamboo Cutlery Set
We styled a client’s patio dining table with these, and it changed everything. They’re such a fun, unexpected twist from plain silverware, and look great with practically any summer table setup. They feel both playful and elevated.

Hurricane Candle Holders
These look way more expensive than they are. The black base keeps them feeling grounded and classic. Try them lined down a table, on an entry console, or as simple shelf styling pieces. Can you just imagine them lining the stairs leading to a firepit or patio?? Dreamy!

Green Cordless Rechargeable Lamps
A client favorite turned personal obsession, these lamps are genius. They add the most beautiful mood lighting, and feel like something you’d see in a chic restaurant. Use them instead of overhead lighting for dinners, date nights, or late summer evenings on the patio. Plus, the green shade is so good!

Ginori Green + Blue Plates
I’ve used Ginori in other colors before, but I have my eye on these while they’re still around. The blue and green combo is peak summer, and just feels fresh right now. They’re being discontinued in some colorways, so definitely grab them while you can. Would be such a moment for a July weekend brunch, or simply styled on open shelves.

Ceramic Handle Bowl
This feels like a total designer dupe. I’ve been on the hunt for Amazon decor that passes the high-end look test, and this one checks out. You always need one more bowl for serving or styling, and this one’s it.

Decor Accents

A lidded ceramic jar featuring light green floral and bird motifs on a white base, topped with a lion finial.

Green + White Urn Vase
I love the classic look of this urn. Use it as an everyday vase with fresh garden clippings, or place it on a console as a statement piece. It also makes a pretty centerpiece filled with hydrangeas or peonies.

Rope Handle Pulls
I’m very into rope lately—it’s a great way to add texture in a quiet, cool way. These are perfect for a subtle coastal moment or even something a little more preppy. Swap them in on nightstands, bathroom vanities, or kitchen cabinets to make a space feel custom.

Two coastal-inspired wall sconces with woven rope arms and round backplates, topped with simple white drum shades.

Rattan Wall Sconces
Texture, again. these sconces are perfect for a beach house, but they totally work in a main home if that’s your vibe. They’re warm and relaxed without being too trendy, and a great way to soften a hallway or guest room.

Ralph Lauren Frilly White Pillow
This is a great base pillow if you want something that’s not boring. The frill detail adds that little something to a bed without trying too hard. It would look great layered with block prints or ticking stripes.

Textiles & Style Finds

Denim Ruffle Napkins
I’ve bought from this vendor before and love their napkins, but this ruffle version is a new favorite. They’re cute, casual, and still feel thoughtful. Would be adorable for any casual summer dinner setup.

A soft zippered pouch with red quilted fabric featuring a repeating floral print in beige and green.

Vera Bradley Quilted Makeup Bag
This is coming with me to Sun Valley this week! The quilted pattern is so nostalgic and cute. It’s soft, easy to pack, and honestly just makes me happy every time I pull it out. Great for travel, great for everyday.

Light blue linen drawstring pants + matching top with a relaxed, straight-leg fit—perfect for warm weather and casual styling.

Linen Top + Pants Set
Trust me, you will live in these! It’s your summer sweat set — but elevated. It’s soft, looks put together, and makes getting dressed in the morning a non-decision. You could totally wear this from errands to wine on the porch and still feel cute.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from styling homes (and my own closet), it’s that little swaps go a long way—especially in the summer. This edit isn’t about starting from scratch, it’s about layering in smart upgrades that make your space feel considered and your routine feel easier. Whether it’s a better lighting option for your dinner table or a versatile piece of decor that works in multiple rooms, I hope this post gave you a few ideas you can actually use. Cheers!

January, already?!
This month’s edit ended up being a mix of things I naturally reached for: cozy knits, everyday staples that don’t try too hard, little home upgrades that make winter feel more intentional. A few things for staying in, a few things for stepping out, and a few things that just make the house feel good again after the holiday rush.
It’s that in-between season where comfort wins, neutrals feel right, and anything with warmth or texture just makes sense. Simple, useful, grounding.
Here’s what’s on my radar as we settle into the new year. Comment “edit” for all my monthly picks! (Live on the blog at 3:00pm PST).
Hi 🤍 if you’re new here—my husband and I are the founders of Clouz Houz.
Three months ago, we packed up our life and moved across the country to follow a dream: expanding our design business in new ways and planting roots in a place completely unfamiliar to us. 
We bought a house in Middle Tennessee to renovate and call home… in a community where we knew no one.
It’s been scary. And humbling.
But we’re doing it.
While we haven’t gotten as far as we hoped on this first project, we are making progress—little by little. New hardwood floors. New electrical. Kitchen and laundry demo complete. A bathroom fully replumbed and rebuilt. 
And still… so much more ahead.
Living in the middle of a renovation while starting over at the same time has been overwhelming in ways we didn’t anticipate. This isn’t our first remodel, but this season feels different. It’s stretching us. Asking for patience. For trust. For presence.
And maybe that’s the point.
Progress doesn’t equal perfection. Sometimes it just looks like staying in it, even when the path feels uncertain. Learning a new place. Meeting new people. Believing that what you’re building—slowly—will be worth it.
This house is testing us, yes. 
Follow along as we restore this 1930s bungalow and build a new chapter, one step at a time.
2026, we can’t wait to see all that you have in store for us. 🤍
Cheers to another fantastic year in the books and happy 2026 eve, friends! Thanks so much for following along. I’ve always loved the saying “What a difference a year makes!”… and boy did this one show us that. I couldn’t have done it without our amazing clients and my A team... See you all in 2026!
Hey friends! As we close out 2025, we’ve been reflecting on who we are, what we stand for, and what we want to put into the world beyond pretty pictures. We’re simply getting closer to the core of our essence: layered and soulful interiors, warm woods, lived-in neutrals, vintage next to new, and especially spaces built to linger longer.
We’ve loved sharing more of what we’re obsessed with, how we’re thinking about design, and what’s happening behind the scenes—from job-site notes to paint pairings, spend-vs-save calls, sourcing wins, and the small rituals that make a house feel like home. Our hope is that this gives you a deeper sense of who we are and lets us share our hard-won expertise in a more valuable way.
So who are we? We’re a boutique interior design studio specializing in thoughtful construction and remodels along with full home furnishings. Our signature aesthetic is quiet luxury with personality: texture, intention, and rooms that work beautifully for real life.
We’re here for the evolution, and we’re here for you. Tell us what you want more of in 2026. Progress diaries, styling how-tos, sourcing tips, before/afters.
We’re listening!
