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.

A renovation is rarely undone by a lack of inspiration.
It’s undone by a lack of clarity.
Because the reality is this: building or remodeling a home requires hundreds of decision, many of them invisible, all of them connected. The materials, the proportions, the lighting, the flow, the sequencing. The details that don’t feel urgent until they are the only thing you can see.
And while hiring a designer can feel like a significant investment, what you’re truly purchasing is certainty.
The assurance that every choice has been thoughtfully considered.
That the vision is protected.
That the entire home will come together cohesively. Beautifully executed, down to the smallest detail.
Because the real expense isn’t the design fee.
It’s completing your renovation and realizing it doesn’t feel the way you hoped it would.
If you’re planning a remodel or new build and want it done with intention from the start, we’d love to work with you!
We’re big fans of the IKEA PAX system! And if you’ve been following for a while, you might recognize it from the High Desert Tumalo Ranch, our last home.
We originally used these wardrobes as closet overflow in our bedroom and primary closet, and they worked so well that we’re bringing the same idea into our upstairs bathroom at Sixth Street Bungalow. With limited storage in the adjoining guest rooms, this felt like the smartest, most functional (and let’s not forget affordable) solution.
The key is making it feel intentional. We always add trim and base molding for a built-in look, upgrade the hardware, and paint them so they feel custom. In Tumalo, we even used curtain panels for a softer, layered feel.
It’s proof that good design isn’t about reinventing the wheel but about using the right tools, the right way.
Save this if you’re short on storage but want it to look beautiful.
Possible? Sure.
Recommended? ...not so much.😅
A kitchen renovation isn’t just cabinets and tile. It’s hundreds of decisions stacked on top of each other.
Even in this phase alone, I can easily count 60+ choices we’ve guided our clients through: layout, lighting, functionality, finishes, details you don’t think about until it’s too late.
That’s the difference between a kitchen that’s pretty... and one that truly works beautifully for the way you live.
Our experience helps you avoid expensive “oops” moments and get it right the first time.
And don’t worry, this is just the beginning. The reveal is coming soon, so stay tuned

✨ A new chapter of the Monthly Edit ✨
(The February Edit goes live tonight at 5pm CST.)
Almost two years ago, I started sharing these little roundups as a way to collect the things I genuinely loved. Pieces for the home, beautiful finds, items I’d saved or purchased again and again.
But over time, it’s evolved into something more.
Because design inspiration doesn’t come from just one place.
It comes from what we’re watching on a cozy night in…
the places we travel…
the fashion trends we can’t stop pinning…
the beauty products we swear by (I’m always testing something new 🙋‍♀️)…
the music that brings us right back to another season of life.
Everything we experience shapes the way we see, and the way we design.
So each month, I’ll be sharing a peek into what’s inspiring me right now! Home, lifestyle, culture (all of it) downloaded from my little world into one Edit.
If you want a glimpse into my (slightly chaotic) designer brain, follow along. 🤍
Save this Reel! The full February Edit goes live tonight at 5pm CST.
