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.

Came across this old video from one of our campaign shoots at the #High DesertTumaloRanch and it made me a little 🥹

We’re enjoying our family vacation in Sunriver, and I’ve actually been back in Oregon for the past month—catching up with clients, squeezing in site visits and consults, and honestly just loving being here again.

There really is nothing quite like an Oregon summer. Even with the wildfires, which has been heartbreaking to watch become such a normal part of summers here, this place still holds so many special memories for our family and has always felt like a bit of a retreat.

We spent so many good evenings out on this patio, usually with those killer mountain views in the background. Seeing this again brought me right back. Had to share.🤎

It’s never too late to dial in your patio. IMO early fall is still some of the best time to spend outdoors (and let’s be honest, you can find some pretty amazing sales- save now and enjoy later). Let us help you design your outdoor space for any season!

Hiring a designer is a funny thing. You’re essentially handing someone your home your budget, years of saved inspiration, and a pretty intimate look at how your family actually lives-and trusting them to get it right.

That’s not a small thing.

And a good designer’s job is so much more than making your home beautiful. It’s listening closely enough to know when to push you toward something you wouldn’t have chosen on Your ow? when to wark with what you already love, and when to say, Nope, that doesn’t feel You should still recognize yourself in your home when we’re done. Just maybe a version you couldn’t quite figure out how to get to on your own.

That trust takes time, which is why we start every project with a conversation.

If you’ve been thinking about getting some help with your home but aren’t quite sure what that looks like yet, that’s okay. Tell us what you’re working on. We’ll start there.

Discovery calls are always the first step — link in bio or shoot us a DM.
Maybe someone in your life needs to hear this right now. Someone whose life looks completely different than they thought it would. Who’s feeling stuck in their career. 

Starting over. Watching their kids grow up and wondering what’s next for them. Or just feeling that little nudge that maybe it’s time for something different.

I’ve been there. And if I’m being truthful, I still have moments where I’m there.

There were seasons of my life I never would have chosen, but they pushed me toward things I’m not sure I ever would have been brave enough to choose on my own. This business. Moving. Starting over. Taking risks when I definitely didn’t have all the answers.

I think we put so much pressure on ourselves to have life figured out when really, we’re supposed to evolve. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to want something different. You’re allowed to start the thing you’ve been quietly thinking about for years—even if the timing feels weird or the path there looks nothing like you imagined.

Sometimes you just have to trust the nudge and see where it takes you. 🤎

And while I’m feeling sentimental, thank you for being here and following along through all the different chapters. I’ve loved the support, conversations, and little community that’s grown here more than you know.
