One of my favorite things to do is strolling down the aisles of a home decor store on a Saturday afternoon. Given our current environment and the need for social distancing, I’ve opted out of shopping trips that aren’t absolutely essential. Thanks to Al Gore’s “interwebs” I can do one of my favorite things while I lounge on the sofa with a glass of wine (Hello, Wine Down Wednesdays!) While I peruse the virtual aisles, I get tons of decorating ideas, inspiration AND great deals on unique home decor and furnishings.  I recently shared affordable ways to refresh your home decor. Today, you get to benefit from my many hours digital window shopping. The sites below are hands down, some of the best places to buy home decor online.

If you have been rocking with INTERIORStyle for any period of time, then you know that my mantra is “your home should be a reflection of who you are” – those are words to live and decorate by.

In fact, mixing a few trendy decorative accents with your personal style will help your space feel “current” while still reflecting who you are. According to industry experts here are the some of the hottest home decor trends right now.

It’s been almost four years since I tossed the fear of failure to the side and started my little blog. My hope was that I’d be able re-connect with something I’ve been passionate about since I was little girl – making things pretty, i.e  interior decorating. I also hoped that a few people (outside of my immediate family) would read it, enjoy it and perhaps be inspired. I’ve accomplished both goals and learned so much along the way. I mean I didn’t even know what WordPress was four years ago and I built INTERIORStyle by Kiki by myself – thanks to tons of late night google searches. And I must say, it looks pretty damn good around here! I’m looking forward to taking things to the next level by connecting with more of you and giving you even more tips, ideas, and inspiration to help you create a beautiful space that reflects who you are. Since I want to be your “partner in design” I think it’s only fair that I share a little more about who I am. So, allow me to reintroduce myself by sharing “20 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me.”

My passion for “making things pretty” doesn’t stop at interior decorating. Having a pretty work space is must for me. My black and white floral print day planner, my damask mouse pad, or my “Strong Woman Never Settle” plaque somehow, give me that extra push I need to conquer tight deadlines, email overload, and marathon conference calls. Whether you have an expansive office with a panoramic view, an officle (i.e. cubicle/office) like me, or a home office, adding a few whimsical, chic office supplies that are functional can give your desk a jolt of energy – and a touch of style.
