Trend Watch: Urban Jungle
We’ve all spent the last year and a half juggling an every changing environment and spending more time at home than ever before. It’s not surprising that, as the 2022 trend predictions begin to emerge, we are seeing this reflected in the trends coming into play. Many of these trends reflect our design to create a cozy, more welcoming home environment and bring nature indoors with us as well. Urban Jungle is one such trend, seeing homeowners looking for ways to add plants and greenery into their homes with houseplants, green colors and plant-inspired patterns!
While living plants are the key to this design style (According to HGTV, faux houseplants are out for 2022!) – if you don’t have the time to maintain a wide selection of living plants, mixing living plants with textiles and accessories in bold plant inspired patterns is a great way to achieve this look without the maintenance!
If you’re looking to embrace more greenery in your home, here are some of our favorite ideas!
Leaf print curtains are a great way to add a bold green flair to your space! We love these designer leaf print draperies available in a chenille for light control or sheer tulle to allow more light to filter threw if you prefer!
This tropical leaf print duvet set is a great way to give your bedroom the feeling of a tropical outdoor paradise! Paid with soft, oceany blues as seen here for an airy, modern look or with deep browns for a more traditional, dramatic look!
Not everything in your Urban Jungle needs to be green! This gold leaf sculpture is a great way to bring in a nature-inspired shape with a touch of modern luxury! We think this would look stunning mixed in with a few potted plants as well!
Throw pillows are always a great (and affordable) way to bring current trends into your space! Simply slip these pillow covers over your existing throw pillows and remove later on when you’re ready for a new look!

A Mid-Summer’s Night Dream Bedroom
The inspiration for this bedroom design concept is a whimsical “Mid-Summer’s Night Dream” with a rustic, industrial touch. I wanted to create the feeling that you were curling up in a magical forest, but with a modern edge!
Crisp white walls with a grey washed wood-clad focal wall contrast with the dark, moody flooring to create the base for this room. A gorgeous custom bed mixes the natural look of wood with the industrial feel of steel to bring a modern edge to the room. A simple black night table maintains the modern feel while allowing the bed to remain the star of the space.
Greenery is what really brings this space to life! Curtains in a plant pattern fabric add a punch of natural color to the decor while potted plants, both real and faux, in a variety of sizes, carry that magical forest feel through-out the room.

Yellow & Gray Home Office Inspiration
Home Office Inspiration – Yellow is a bright, energetic color that is often associated with optimism and creativity, making it a great choice for a home office or den where creativity and high energy are desired. Gray, on the other hand, is a very calming and modern color. Pairing the two together creates a space that feels modern and fresh and full of energy without becoming overwhelming!
The base for this room starts with a modern light-colored wood floor and a pale grey wall that provide a bright and airy backdrop for a statement-making dark stone fireplace. The multi-colored stone veneer offers visual detail and texture to the space. I love the variety of colors in the stone – it would be easy to update the room to a different color scheme simply by pulling a different color from the stone!
For furniture, I selected neutral colors with warm wood details and a touch of black. These pieces are flexible enough to allow you to easily update the look in the future simply by changing out the accessories. The warm wood finishes bring a cozy, nature-inspired feel to the space while the black details help to ground the space.
To bring in the energetic pop of color, I selected a desk lamp, curtain panels, artwork and throw pillows that have a touch of yellow in each, helping to carry the color through-out the room without overwhelming the space.

Minimalist Bedroom Decor with Karla Dreyer
Minimalist Bedroom Decor – The hand woven round rug was the jumping off point for this bedroom design concept. It has a bohemian vibe that I wanted to play with but I also wanted to add in more minimalistic items to offset it. The bed has such an interesting shape and design so it was my first choice. From there, I went with a wall mounted light as it’s a great option for bedrooms instead of a bedside lamp. For the art, I choose a minimal piece that adds interest and form to the space. The side table is another unique and sculptural piece. For bedding, I selected beautiful linen that works with the relaxed look of the rug. Finally, I finished it off with texture in the chair and basket. Both these pieces play on the idea of a bohemian and minimal look that’s timeless and inviting.
