September 2025 Home Mood Boards

Neutral Natural Kitchen Mood Board

It’s time to share what I’ve been posting over on my LTK account! I started this series because I didn’t want you to miss out on free content in case you’re not following along on LTK or Instagram, so I’ll be posting a roundup here on the blog at the end of each month to help inspire your home décor brainstorming. Don’t forget to click all the way through to LTK (links are included in the paragraph explanations below) to get direct linked access to all of the pieces in each collection.

Neutral Natural Kitchen:

Our current retro 1960s kitchen is really small—much smaller than the mid-century kitchen at our last house—so every single accent packs a big punch. I try really hard to only purchase appliances and utensils that look just as good as they function, and I thought I’d do a bit of design dreaming with this mood board for a Neutral Natural Kitchen full of just that: kitchen items that you won’t mind leaving out on display during your everyday cooking routine. I’m currently coveting that under-mount mug rack myself (it’s just $15!), and the salt/pepper duo. Resources are all linked this way.

Outdoor Fall Patio Home Mood Board

Outdoor Fall Patio:

We built our DIY hardscape patio this past spring, but I, surprisingly, found myself avoiding it during the brutal heat of summer. Now that fall and cooler temperatures are here, though, I’m constantly finding myself wandering out there to sneak in fresh air and reading time with the birds singing around me. This newfound routine inspired me to put together a mood board for an Outdoor Fall Patio, complete with plush outdoor seating, weather-resistant tabletops, lighting, cozy plaid textiles, and the dreamiest outdoor fire feature you’ve ever seen (similar budget-friendly option found here). You can order the items in this collection over on my LTK feed.

Warm Modern Entry Home Mood Board

Warm Modern Entry:

An entryway can be sort of a tricky space to decorate, right? This type of room is often on the smaller side, and needs to boast quite a bit of function. That balance isn’t always easy to find when shopping for home décor. With this conundrum in mind, I put together a mood board for a Warm Modern Entry that feels both sophisticated and welcoming, while also incorporating plenty of storage, color, and a soft place to land. Get links to everything that you see in my design this way.

Target Fall Décor Home Mood Board

Target Fall Décor:

Earlier this month I was in the midst of decorating our sunroom for a fun fall collaboration, so I bee-lined over to Target to see what kinds of seasonal options they had on hand for me to use in the space. After weaving my way through the aisles, I came away with tons of fall items on my wishlist but I could only choose a couple of things for my real life space. Not wanting to let the treasures in their current collection go unnoticed, I put together a full roundup of Target Fall Décor favorites on my LTK feed, which you can shop here. Hopefully, some are still in stock for you! I hate how quickly things sell out at Target. It seems like I can never get links out quickly enough, but I have my fingers crossed with this lineup of seasonal favorites.

Let me know in the comments if you have a specific room or spot in your home that you’d like me to mood board next! I always make sure to prioritize follower requests first, so please do tell what’s on your list of future house projects.

Wallpapered Fireplace Feature Wall Reveal

DIY Wallpapered Fireplace Feature Wall

*Today’s post was made possible by Fancy Walls, and features gifted product for the purposes of a candid review. All opinions are my own.

I’ll tell you what…There’s something really extra special about walking into your home and seeing a wallpaper that you designed up on the walls…This is the first time I’ve used one of my patterns from the collection I developed with Fancy Walls in our home in a full-scale project, and I’m absolutely smitten with the results. As I explained last week, I was on a mission to lighten and brighten our front formal living room, so I first repainted the once-dark walls a new light beige color. I only painted three of the four walls, though, with plans to wallpaper the fireplace wall to create a unique focal point.

I had always pictured using one of my bonsai-inspired patterns in our formal living room, and I ultimately chose the lighter version that I designed with Fancy Walls. This “Cream Branching Bonsai” pattern is more minimalist than my “Tan Branching Bonsai,” and I thought the former might complement the new creamy wall color best. The background of this peel-and-stick wallpaper is a little darker than the paint on either side wall, but I think that just helps the wall stand out even more.

The installation, as always, was a breeze, except for the fact that I had to take down the two hardwired sconces. But that was a pretty straight forward process, so I would still call this one “beginner” level. I was so impressed to see how well the light creamy color of this wallpaper completely covered the super dark blue/green paint color underneath. I didn’t have to repaint the wall—the wallpaper masked every bit of it on its own! You might have noticed that I left the fireplace mantle painted dark. I thought this little bit of high contrast color mixing would give the room a nice dose of interest, and I love the final effect.

The new branching floral design on the walls feels so authentically mid-century to me (perfect for our 1960s home!), and reminds me of the interiors in so many of my favorite classic films. Stay tuned later on this year as I continue to add more of my custom designs with Fancy Walls to our home so you can get a better sense of the patterns in a physical home. I know it can be hard to visualize the designs when seen in just a small sample swatch or mood board, so these blog posts are my way of showing you how they look in real life. Please let me know what you think of our new wallpapered fireplace feature wall in the comments below.
