If you’re looking to add a little luxe to your space, look no further than tufted furniture. Tufting details lend a sense of sophistication to a space without going over the top. I prefer tufted furniture in a neutral or basic color like cream or gray. No need to over-do it, you often only need one piece and you’ve got instant glam.
Here are a few idea starters for adding tufted furniture to a room in your home.

Throwback Thursday to one of my very first posts from March 25, 2012… still one of my faves ♥
So, you want to add interest to a room, but you’re afraid of color… have no fear, here are some chic options that stick to a neutral black and white color palette.
Wallpaper is a bit of a commitment, but this one is just fabulous!
This bedding is crisp and clean, but still shows personality.
The oversized damask print on this chair is the right mix of fun and sophisticated.
This pillow is like adding abstract art to your couch.
Truly one of my favorite prints of the moment, this chevron rug is the definition of effortless chic!

TGIF, right?!? Today’s post is once again in response to a question from one of my readers (who also happens to be a great friend ♥). She just moved into a new place and is looking for a chair for her home office. She’s ready for something fun with a pop of color or a pattern (or both), and something that can be moved into the living home for extra seating for guests. Both her office and living room have patterned rugs (one has an ikat pattern and the other is geometric), so I wanted to be sure not to pick anything that would compete too much with those patterns… oh, and the rooms have lots of grey in them.
With all that in mind, I started the search. I was definitely steering clear of the traditional, boring office chair with wheels, but I was still able to find lots of options. Here are some that are particularly fun and fabulous.
Shop: All fabrications – Ballard Designs
Shop: Blue – Gilt Group | Grey – West Elm | Red – Overstock | Purple – Safavieh/Overstock
Do you have a favorite? Fingers crossed that she’ll like one of them.

I’m so excited about these thank you cards I found on Etsy. Absolutely perfect for my baby shower thank you’s!
The upholstery on this chair is to die for. A statement piece with function.

Nothing short of unique, this pendant shade is quirky, cool and modern. This would look great in a kids room or even a funky kitchen.
