CLOUZ HOUZ DESIGN GUIDES - What’s your style?

A Gift Guide for your Valentine ♥️

February 7, 2023

Derrick and I keep things pretty simple for Valentine’s Day. We love to make a yummy dinner and just enjoy the evening together. Now that two of our three kids are out of the house, we mail them each a little gift. Typically, it’s something I know they could use for school, but it’s also fun to give presents that show our love for them but that aren’t necessarily “useful.” If you’re looking for a gift for a loved one, check out the ideas below!

By the way, did you know you can follow us on Like To Know It?? You can find ALL the items featured in this post there on our Like To Know It page. We have an account on LTK where we share all the links of things we’re loving. We hope you’ll check it out and let us know if there’s something you would like to see more of. You can find us here!

Boy Smells Candle

I'll admit, I'm obsessed with Kacey Musgraves ... and this candle collaboration with Boy Smells has me very curious. I'll definitely be repurposing the glass container; it's a beautiful shade of red. I have one in my cart as a little gift for myself!

Pink Carry-On Luggage

I'm already a fan of bold colors, and this BEIS suitcase will make finding your luggage in baggage claim so much easier! Isn't it cute? I've heard this brand is really really good -- in fact, it's all the rage right now. Our design assistant, Kaylei, took the carry-on version on our trip to Las Vegas Market and loved it!

Le Labo Santal 33

I'm not exaggerating when I say WHENEVER I wear this perfume, someone asks me what it is. And, the coolest thing is that it's unisex! This would make a great gift for your spouse or lover. It smells absolutely heavenly.

Le Creuset Heart Cocotte

I've wanted a Le Creuset baking dish for sooo long! Although this may not seem super romantic, for the cooks out there -- well, if you know, you know. And this heart shape makes it even sweeter as a loving gesture to the chef in your life.

"Loved" Socks

Our daughter is the queen of comfy clothing ... and these socks will go perfectly with her favorite sweats! She's always telling me that she needs cuter socks. Ha! But seriously, these socks make any outfit that much cozier.

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).

Welcome to our newest project: #TheSeattleSnug. A cozy, collected family TV room that’s getting a full Clouz Houz revamp.

We’re transforming this family’s TV/game room into a space that feels inviting, personal, and functional for real life. That means rethinking the furniture layout, adding texture in every direction, introducing multiple layers of lighting, building out a meaningful gallery wall, and mixing materials so the room has depth instead of feeling flat.

As always, we’re designing with their lifestyle at the center — comfy sofa moments, a game table for family nights, kid-friendly fabrics, and details that make the room feel lived-in.

Can’t wait to bring this space to life. More behind-the-scenes coming soon!

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. 🤍

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!
