My Favorite Spring Items for Styling Your Home … all under $100!

 

Hi y’all! I thought I would share some of my favorite items for getting your home refreshed for spring 🌸 Better yet, they’re all under $100! I’ll be honest, when I style my clients’ homes, I look for a mix of high and low priced items. My goal is to achieve a beautiful — yet affordable — highly curated look. But today’s post isn’t about the “investment pieces.” Instead, it’s all about items that are serious finds for the cost! Making our services accessible to everyone demonstrates our commitment to the Clouz Houz mission. Good design is achievable, no matter the price point. Sprinkle some (or many) of these items into your home. I promise these little touches will make your spaces feel fresh and updated!

How do you do this? Well, my main recommendation is to mix and match your home décor for a beautifully layered and personal look. Don’t forget to incorporate family heirlooms, photos of vacations, and special occasions. Then use some of the beautiful items below to supplement those more meaningful and personal items.

So here you go, I’m giving away all my secrets (well not all 😂) but, if someone called me up today and asked for help with a speing refresh, I guarantee you these items would be on my install list!

CLOUZ HOUZ TIP: If you’re refreshing a space (or just simply want to finish one), buy MORE than you think you may need. You can always make returns! But, in my experience, you always need more than you think when putting the finishing touches to any space. 

Lastly, I’ve highlighted several items below and why I love them. If you want access to all items, you can shop our faves on the @Shop.LTK app here. Follow us there to stay up to date on all the things we’re loving for your home and lifestyle. Happy Spring refreshing! 😍

Scallop Bowl

Have you guys seen the latest trend in home décor? Marble ribbon edge bowls are all the rage right now, and let me tell you, they are seriously stylish! I am absolutely obsessed with this classic material and the modern twist of the ribbon edge detail. Not only do they add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space, but they are also super versatile. I’ve been using mine as a catch-all for my keys, sunglasses, and other small items that usually clutter up my entryway. They are perfect for anyone who likes to mix traditional and modern styles.

John Derian Picture Book

I also wanted to share one of my favorite coffee table books: it’s this one by John Derian. It has been a staple in my home for years now. The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning, and they add a unique and whimsical touch to any space. I’ve had mine on my living room coffee table, in my office, and even in my bedroom, and it always looks perfectly placed. It’s a versatile piece that can be used to add a touch of personality really anywhere you put it. Trust me, you won’t regret adding this one to your collection.

Faux Topiary

This faux topiary has become a staple in my home, and I’m convinced that it brightens up any space. One of the things I love most about it is that it adds some much-needed greenery to the room without feeling heavy. And, it's perfect for those of us who are too busy to devote time to plant care 😉 I personally like it on my kitchen counter to add a touch of green. It’s also a great conversation starter when guests come over, as they’re always surprised to learn that it’s not a real plant!

Terracotta Vase

One of my all time spring faves: terracotta pots. Not only are they a classic, but they also pair beautifully with greenery and are the perfect vessels for your favorite plants. The combination of the natural, earthy tones of the terracotta and the vibrant green of faux plants (insert cute topiary above) creates a stunning visual display that I can’t get enough of! Plus, they’re durable and long-lasting, which makes them a great investment piece for any home. I never see these going out of style and I would highly recommend adding some to your home this spring!

Bedside Table Lamp

This mini lamp is incredibly functional, and it also comes in an array of beautiful colors and styles. I love the cute pleated shade! Personally, I’m a huge fan of the color forest green, and I think it’s a gorgeous pop of color for spring. It also provides some ambient lighting to your bedroom. It's small and compact size makes it easy to move around, and would also look great displayed on a kitchen counter or desk. Perfect for those short on space.

William Morris Print

Checkout this William Morris print! It's a great deal for the price, and also a classic piece to have. One thing that makes this such a good décor option is that it isn’t too large, which makes it the ideal choice for smaller spaces like a powder bath or pantry. Or, you could just prop it up on a shelf or table. At the moment, we’re really loving the Morris & Co collection from McGee & Co. They have a variety of different prints and patterns inspired by William Morris for outdoor pillows. Yes please!

Vintage Fishing Basket

Let’s chat a little about vintage décor finds. I’m a huge fan of incorporating vintage pieces into my home décor, and baskets are one of my go-to choices for adding a touch of old-world charm. What I love about this vintage fishing basket is its rustic style. It’s a piece with a lot of character, and it adds a sense of history and personality to any room. One of my favorite ways to use baskets is in an entryway. It’s the perfect place to slide one under a console or chair, and it’s a great spot to store last-minute essentials when you’re walking out the door. I like to use mine to hold scarves, gloves, my dog’s leashes, and other odds and ends that I might need on the way out.

Pair of Sherpa Throw Pillow Covers

This set of teddy pillow covers is my latest discovery. These pillow covers are simply amazing! They're incredibly soft and fluffy, making them the perfect addition to your bed or couch. Add a down alternative or down feather fill and you'll feel like you’re resting on a cloud -- it’s pure bliss! One of the things I absolutely love about these covers is their natural color. It’s the perfect hue for spring, and will make any room feel warm and inviting. Plus, the natural color allows you to get creative and pair it with a printed pillow. Trust me, the possibilities are endless! And, I would be silly to not mention how incredibly inexpensive they are for a pair!

Jade Indigo Pillow Cover

I recently came across an incredible pillow that I just had to share with you all. It’s this Serena Dugan pattern, and let me tell you, it's so fun and colorful! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it and knew that I had to find a way to incorporate it into my home refresh. This Etsy vendor makes the pillows to order, and they come in a variety of sizes. I opted for the 12 x 24 size, which keeps the price under $100. However, if you have a larger budget, you can order larger sizes as well.

Before we sketch a floor plan or source furniture, we sit with the house and let it speak a little.
For the 6th Street Bungalow, this step was especially important. The house has its own personality, and the flatlay helps us study it from every angle.
It lets us play, make changes early, test combinations, and make sure each material has a reason for being there. Nothing is theoretical at this stage.
We want to feel the stone, the fabrics, the wood tones, the finishes, and see how they interact from room to room.
The flatlay becomes our anchor — a visual blueprint that keeps the design cohesive while giving us room to refine as we go. It’s a crucial part of our process and one of the most valuable tools for creating a home that feels intentional, personal, and true to the architecture.
If you want to get started on your home, our spots for Q1 of the new year are filling up. Visit our website (link in bio) to inquire.
My ins and outs this year!
Do you agree? Let me know if I missed any in the comments!
Hang in there for me on this one (I feel very passionately about this topic 😂). One of the things we care most about when designing homes is where the pieces come from. Vintage and antique sourcing isn’t just about finding something “different”... It’s about choosing pieces that already carry a story.
The truth is, the most memorable rooms aren’t built all at once or off a single shopping list. They’re layered over time. A chair with worn arms. A table that’s been repaired more than once. A piece you weren’t looking for, but couldn’t leave behind. Those are the things that give a home its soul.
When you bring vintage into a space, you’re investing in more than furniture. You’re investing in craftsmanship that’s hard to replicate today, materials that have already stood the test of time, and details modern manufacturing simply doesn’t prioritize anymore. And there’s something deeply satisfying about living with pieces that feel personal.
This is why we source the way we do. Not to fill a room, but to give it meaning. Collected doesn’t mean cluttered. It means intentional, patient, and a little emotional (in the best way).
A home should feel lived in, loved, and uniquely yours.
Ok here’s the truth- I have a lot of favorite whites- but this may be my new fave for cabinetry! 
Here’s the part no one tells you:
Most “bad” white cabinets aren’t bad colors… they’re bad context. White fails when it’s chosen in isolation. Paint chips are judged under fluorescent store lighting, held next to nothing, and decided before cabinets, counters, floors, or hardware are even finalized. Then that same white gets wrapped around an entire kitchen and suddenly feels gray at noon, yellow at night, or weirdly dull no matter how much light you have.
That’s why we chose Shoji White by Sherwin-Williams for our kitchen cabinets this time around.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it photographs well.
But because it behaves.
Shoji White has a soft warmth that doesn’t show up on a chip, but does show up when it’s next to real materials. It stays steady throughout the day, doesn’t compete with natural wood or stone, and doesn’t turn chalky once it’s covering full-height cabinetry. That consistency is what actually makes a white “safe” — not how popular it is.
Designer truth:
If a white only looks good at one time of day, it’s not a good cabinet white.
If it needs perfect lighting to work, it’s not a good cabinet white.
If paint decisions make you spiral, it’s not because you’re bad at this (it’s because white is reactive, and no one teaches you how to test it properly).
Our blog goes live today at 3:00pm PST, where I break down how to evaluate whites in your actual space and share a few other cabinet whites we consider truly “safe” — the ones we use repeatedly for clients because they hold up in real life, not just in photos.
Save this if you’re choosing cabinets soon.
