July 2025 Home Mood Boards

Luxe Urban Dining Room Home Décor 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 this 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.

Luxe Urban Dining Room:

One thing you might not know about me is that I’m fanatic about New York City. I have this long-standing dream of living in The Big Apple at one point in my life, and hope to somehow, some way make that happen. I love picturing what my little apartment would look like, which is how this Luxe Urban Dining Room design came to be. I chose space-saving furniture, like a round table, and paired the setup with an eye-catching gold and frosted glass chandelier. Deep jewel tones throughout the rest of the space help give the room moody appeal. Grab links to everything you see above here on my LTK feed.

Poppy Powder Bathroom Home Décor Mood Board

Poppy Powder Bathroom:

We don’t have a powder room in our house, but that won’t stop me from playing around with concepts for this kind of pint-sized space, as you’ll see above. I really like how pro designers often go really big when choosing colors and patterns for powder bathrooms since they’re often tucked-away spaces that can be a little more playful than everyday bathrooms, so I decided to follow that same methodology. I picked a couple of textural wallpaper options, and paired those with a dusty blue wall tile. Contemporary gold lighting and hardware finish off the look. Click here to shop the room if you’re lucky enough to have a powder bath in your home.

Pet-Friendly Lounge Home Décor Mood Board

Pet-Friendly Lounge:

Did you hear? We adopted anther rescue kitten a few weeks ago! Stanley has been settling in with our existing pack nicely, and I feel like our little un-traditional family is finally complete after years of repeated loss (we’ve been forced to say goodbye to five of our pets in the past five years for all completely unrelated health reasons). We couldn’t love our new little guy more, and since Stanley is now constantly on my mind, I decided to put together a fun roundup of pet-themed finds for a lounge that our three cats and one dog would all love to play and lie around in. If you love this mood board as much as I do, you can get the look by shopping the design (including that cool modern pet crate) here.

Classic Japandi Design Home Décor Mood Board

Classic Japandi Design:

In case you missed it in the DGD “Home Matters” newsletter over on Substack, I put together a custom room design inspired by the bonsai wallpaper in my collection with Fancy Walls. This classic Japandi living space is full of exactly the types of furniture and accents that I had in my mind when coming up with the concept for my “Branching Bonsai” wallpaper. My favorite accents (aside from the wall pattern, of course) are the decadent evergreen upholstered sofa, Asian-inspired lighting, and the grid-pattern rug that reminds me of a traditional shoji screen. See the full collection this way.

Modern Garage Organization Home Décor Mood Board

Modern Garage Organization:

I have absolutely no business thinking about a garage reorganization project since I already have so many half-finished room makeovers on my hands, but I decided that it couldn’t hurt to at least come up with some initial ideas for how I’d transform our small garage if my schedule ever opens up. I pulled together a collection of modern totes and storage boxes alongside a range of pretty green cabinetry, plus black and white work benches to give our “someday” garage tons of functionality and usability. Faux plants and car-themed art round out the decorative side of things. Shop the room here if you’ve been considering a garage makeover of your own.

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.

2 Affordable Easy-To-Assemble Tables

2 Affordable Easy-To-Assemble Tables

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

It’s no secret that I love change when it comes to décor. No room in our home is safe from my need to swap around art, lighting, bedding, rugs, and furniture. That said, there are some changes that are, understandably, easier to make than others. Rugs are probably the hardest thing to swap out since they require moving all of the furniture off before rolling up the old rug so we can unroll the new one. Large pieces of furniture are next on the list when sorted from hardest to easiest things to change in a room. The one exception, though, is a side or coffee table. These usually only requires a 5-minute clearing of accessories from tabletops to make room for something new, so I try to do this semi-regularly in order to refresh our spaces.

I have two new tables to introduce you to today, although the truth is that they’re actually the same table—one is just their “Tall” version and the other is the “Short.” Meet the Matt Nesting Coffee Table from Hulala Home! I ordered the table in the color “Lime,” which meant that our two tabletops have a lovely light blonde-colored mottling to the finish. It also comes in “Black” and “Oak” if that’s more your style.

As you’d expect from the name, the two versions of this table, when ordered together, can be nested together to create multi-layered surfaces to situate in front of your sofa, but they can also be arranged apart, like we have done here in our sunroom. We’re using the shorter table as a traditional solo coffee table in front of our sectional, and the taller table is next to our lounge chair in the corner to be used as a side table. There’s lots of versatility with this set.

I also really love the slatted wood detailing around the base of these tables. That adds lots of great texture to the space, and a bit of contemporary flair, which I appreciate since so much of our furniture is decidedly 1960s in style. These new tables make the room feel a little more “2025,” if you know what I mean. Don’t get me wrong: I’m smitten with our mid-century furniture, but I think one or two contemporary elements make a retro-decorated space look more refined and not quite so mid-century “themed.”

You do have to assemble these pieces of furniture yourself, but they’re very easy to put together. I assembled them on my own in less than an hour one afternoon, and thought the instructions were very simple to follow. As soon as I swapped out the old furniture for these new pieces, the room looked so much more modern and elevated. It really is amazing how just one or two small furniture swaps can completely change the look and feel of a room. What kinds of décor swaps are you considering this summer?
