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.

I didn’t fully understand this early in my career. I thought good design was 90% about pulling together beautiful finishes and getting the palette right.
But over time (and after walking through many homes), here’s what I noticed:
The homes that felt the best weren’t always the most expensive. Or the most styled. They were the ones where everything worked together in a way that supported the people living there. And the homeowners? They weren’t constantly tweaking or second-guessing. They were living.
That’s when I realized design is about creating a space that quietly holds you.
When a home feels right, you can’t always explain why. But you feel it immediately. And once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.
Spring is officially here!
We’re kicking off the season with The March Edit - now live.
Think of it as a little peek into what we’re loving right now... what we’re noticing, bookmarking, wearing, cooking, reading, and saving for projects. This month feels fresh and full of ideas, and I’m leaning all the way in.
I’m also introducing more of the team and sharing a few of the things we’re personally obsessing over lately — from design to everyday life. It’s a little more journal-style this time, and I kind of love it.
If you want to see what we’re manifesting for spring (and maybe find a few new favorites of your own), head to the blog and read the full March Edit. (link in bio)
People always think design starts with picking the sofa or paint color... but honestly, so much of our process lives in the tiny details.
A room doesn’t become you until it’s styled with intention. That’s why we spend time learning how you move through your day, what objects matter, where your eye naturally lands.
When we work with clients, we don’t just drop furniture into a floor plan. We design the feeling - the quiet corner, the morning moment, the lived-in beauty.
Styling a coffee table is just a peek at how much thought goes into every inch.

9 years ago, I was a stay-at-home mom, and suddenly the future felt wide open after this life-changing event.
If you’re new here, you might not know much about the other half of Clouz Houz...
Derrick (my husband). He used to show up on here more, but these days he prefers being behind the scenes. He’s the hands-on one, deep in renovations, and every once in a while he’ll pop in to teach a lesson or share a bit of the work.
Long before Clouz Houz existed, Derrick and I were always renovating our own homes because making something old feel fresh again was what we loved most. I started helping friends with their homes as a hobby, and after we moved, that uncertainty slowly turned into clarity.
Fast forward to today: Derrick and I built Clouz Houz together, getting back to our roots-flipping homes, investing in properties, restoring character, and creating spaces meant to be lived in. This little peek at our Sixth Street Bungalow feels like a full-circle moment... proof that sometimes not knowing what you’re going to do next is exactly how something meaningful begins.❤️
Decision fatigue is real.
