With their antiqued white finish and French country-inspired lines, these arched windowpane mirrors offer more than just quiet reflection.

If you’re searching for a statement-making chandelier that’s easy on the eyes—both literally because it provides tons of warm light and figuratively because it looks like a dream—try this illuminating six-light fixture. The metal detailing pairs well with farmhouse and French country interiors with a hint of romanticism.
Create a soft perch in a neutral bedroom or living room with this flirty chaise lounge.

Add brightly patterned throw pillows for an eclectic spin, or a cozy fur throw to keep it soothing and feminine.
With its recycled wood frame and array of weathered finishes, this ladder effortlessly offsets glam details like brass hardware, velvet upholstery, and lustrous glass accents in a feminine bedroom or bathroom.

Are you guilty of using your guest room as a closet? Give that oft-overlooked space a much-needed makeover—and finally treat your friends to the adult lodgings they deserve—with a powder-coated metal bed frame. Airy and light, this one creates an effortless backdrop for subtly textured linens and throw pillows when paired with a natural fiber rug.
Nothing warms up a bedroom like a cozy throw. With its retro pinwheel-inspired design and boho fringe, this cotton blanket has the look and feel of an heirloom.
Girly ruffles and a softer-than-cotton microfiber construction make this oversized comforter a must for creating an inviting sleep space. The silvery hue provides a blank canvas for textured throw pillows and blankets, and has an all-seasons allure that’ll transform you bedroom into a plush nighttime retreat.
Topped with a swing-arm lamp and positioned within easy reach, a prim and proper pedestal table provides the perfect landing spot for bedside books, a stylish water carafe, and a ruffly arrangement of flowers in the bedroom.
