A case for following the trends

September 28, 2021

Welcome to the extended version of my weekly newsletter,House Call(and if you aren’tsubscribed, what are you waiting for?). This is where I spend some time pondering a theme, answering a question, and helping you shop smarter—or at least find some new inspiration.Reach outif you ever need recommendations. I’m happy to search the internet for the most specific furnishings, decor, and knickknacks.

我总是感兴趣的我n finding out the latest home decor trends. What colors or patterns, or hobbies will fill my Instagram feed or inbox next? Sometimes the trends seem to happen subconsciously (is that anothersage green kitchenor am I seeing things?), and other times it feels like you see a trend so many times that you just have to have it (hello, curvy sofa).Etsyjust released itsHoliday Trend Report, which is filled with ideas for festive decorations and gifts, and the trend of “off-the-grid gatherings” stuck in my mind. It also reminded me offriluftsliv—the Nordic concept of getting outdoors—especially as the weather is cooling down. If the last two years have taught me anything, it’s how to enjoy being outside no matter what.

So, today I’m daydreaming about all the wonderful activities perfect for the cooler, cozier season. Bundle yourself up and get outside.
