The September Edit: Cozy Vibes

 

Well, it’s like summer just went poof! As we say goodbye to September, we’re suddenly surrounded by those cozy, rich hues of fall. Time to hunker down and get cozy! No fancy tricks here – just pure comfy vibes. 

Welcome to “The September Edit.” We’re here to dish on what’s going to be keeping us snug at home. 

Imagine this: you, wrapped in your comfiest blanket, surrounded by the warm, earthy colors of fall, and a cinnamon scented candle doing its thing in the background. Yep, that’s the vibe we’re chasing. 

Muddy Colorways Inspire Cozy Comfort

Introducing our color of the month: Farrow & Ball “Brinjal” – a deep burgundy plum. As we step into the heart of fall, this is a color that’s making waves and stealing the spotlight. Inspired by a gorgeous tile chosen for our wet bar up at the Tumalo Ranch project, this hue is the defining color of the season. Why is it such a standout choice for this time of year? 

It Embraces the Essence of Autumn

Its rich, plum undertones evoke the feeling of crisp fall leaves and warm evenings by the fire. It’s cozy enough to create a relaxed atmosphere in your living spaces, yet it carries an air of luxury that can elevate any room. 

It Adds a Sense of Drama

Adding “Brinjal” to your space, whether on cabinets or an accent wall, infuses a touch of drama. It creates depth and intrigue, making a statement without overwhelming the room. Designers are increasingly drawn to these rich hues for their ability to create intimate and inviting environments. It is an excellent bridge from one season to the next!

The Allure of Vintage-Inspired Florals

In the ever-evolving world of design, there’s something timeless and captivating about vintage-inspired florals. We’re highlighting this classic trend, and one standout option that has us swooning is the Pomona fabric in Tobacco from Lisa Fine Textiles. 

It’s the kind of print that effortlessly exudes a nostalgic element. It feels fresh and relevant in traditional interiors. The tobacco shade is a neutral dream. Its versatile and adaptable, blending seamlessly with a wide range of color schemes. Whether you’re into earthy browns, muted tones, or bold contrasts, this fabric can play along beautifully.

We’re considering covering our banquette in this fabric for our Tumalo Ranch dining area. The warm, inviting pattern sets the tone for a cozy meal, enhancing the dining experience with its vintage allure. 

Falling for Brown Fringe Jackets

 

 

In the world of fashion, some trends have the power to steal our hearts and become instant classics. Enter a brown fringe jacket– a gem that perfectly compliments the warm, earthy tones that we’ve been celebrating throughout this post. Fashion and interior design trends very much go hand-in-hand. This jacket is like bringing the cozy atmosphere of our homes with us wherever we go. 

Not to mention, it effortlessly elevates your style game. Whether paired with jeans, a dress, or anything in between, it adds an element of rustic chic that’s equal parts laid-back and fashionable. The fringe detailing is an absolute game-changer. It introduces an element of texture and movement that’s simply irresistible! 

 

 

This September, and for the approaching months of the season, our interiors and fashion choices share a common thread: coziness, warmth, and an appreciation for nature’s color palette. You’re not just following a trend; you’re embodying a timeless aesthetic that celebrates the richness of fall. It’s a reminder that, in the midst of ever-changing trends, some things remain constant. This vintage charm will forever be a huge inspiration behind Clouz Houz designs.

We had a client awhile back come to us inquiring about our virtual design service.. funny enough they lived in Bend. It really got me thinking. Our virtual design isn’t just limited to clients outside Oregon and Tennessee, but for anyone that wants a beautifully designed room, but is ok with handling the logistics on their own.

We have been working behind the scenes to fine tune this offering because we have seen such success with providing this streamlined design experience. We deliver a fully realized, bespoke space in weeks, not months.
Designed for clients who are comfortable managing implementation, it offers the same level of intention, detail, and direction as our full-service work, without project management.

I can’t wait to share more as we make this service even better- because as I always say...Everything’s meant to evolve. Stay tuned for more. But in the meantime, if you want to learn more, comment below and we will we reach out to you!
Our style has always leaned timeless and traditional, but never too polished. There’s always a bit of ease to it. Maybe that comes from our roots in Oregon, or maybe from where we are now in Tennessee, but we’re drawn to spaces that feel warm, deeply personal, and quietly layered. A hint of western influence, but not in a way that defines everything. Just enough to give it an organic and rustic edge.

If that feels like you, we’d love to help bring it to life (link in bio to inquire)!
I’m going to be honest... when I first started in this business even I was intimidated.

I would walk into showrooms and wonder how their pricing worked and if you really must know there was a lot of ambiguity around how designers worked.

I have never wanted our clients to feel that way. We keep our process really streamlined, transparent and unintimidating. It starts with a quick questionnaire: budget, goals, how you live, etc. From there, we hop on a 15-minute discovery call to make sure we’re aligned. We want to be sure both parties are a good fit for each other!

Once everyone is agreed this feels “right” we dive into your first full conceptual design and walk you through layouts, materials, and selections in a way that we think brings the space to life.

You’ll have time for edits, and then from there we finalize everything so you can move forward with confidence. We follow through with executing the vision.

Our goal is always to make the process feel approachable and comprehensive. If you’ve been thinking about working with a designer but didn’t know what to expect... this is your sign.
