Ombre is everywhere. Not just in home decor, but in fashion and beauty as well. The ombre hairstyle has become extremely popular, as has the look been translated to jeans, dresses, t-shirts, nails – you name it. We can’t forget about in cooking as well – ombre cakes are all over Pinterest! And we can’t forget ombre flower arrangements as well.

But what about ombre in home decor? From walls and staircases to artwork and home accessories, the ombre effect has made its way to plenty of home decor elements. Personally, I don’t know if I can trust my skills enough to be able to recreate the effect perfectly, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to try, especially something like the art work above.

What do you think about ombre in home decor? Do you love this look or are you not much of a fan?

I browse through the Home Decor section of Pinterest more than I’d like to admit. But it seems that almost every time I browse through, there are always some fancy contraptions or features in beautiful homes. Like everything above – the well-organized pantry, the laundry chute, a two-story bedroom, a fancy sink. I didn’t even include the one I see most often – the pull-out cutting board over the garbage can!

For some reason this got me thinking about if I ever have the chance to build my home or renovate completely, what one feature – or features – would I absolutely require? That laundry chute is pretty fabulous, and convenient, but I’m thinking I would request closet organization as an absolute necessity. While I would love a fancy kitchen with fun accessories and features, to have all closets, including the pantry, with built-in storage – oh, that would be heaven!

What about you – would feature would be at the top of your must-have list if you had the chance to build your dream home?

It seems like large glass domes have been popping up in home decor everywhere. Rather than just putting a piece on display, the glass dome calls more attention to it – almost saying that it’s such a special item that it must be guarded by the dome!

The look is fairly simple, and can be used in SO many ways, as shown above. First, a plant is covered by a glass dome. Then, a series of bright Christmas ornaments are arranged in domes of varying heights. I love this look as opposed to the easy way of putting ornaments in bowls – something I have in my own home! In the third picture, a statue is settled inside a glass dome, giving it a sort of museum vibe.

All three of the images are completely different looks, yet with that glass dome in common.

What do you think of glass domes and home decor – do you love this look or could you do without it? Do you have something like this in your home?

From fashion to home decor, I haven’t totally been a fan of the ombre look. I do love it in hair though – have you seen that look? If not – google it. It really looks great on some people!

But anyway, we’re not talking hair today. We’re talking ombre walls. From P.S. I made this… comes this vibrant turquoise ombre wall. As I was saying, I haven’t really loved the look in accessories or outfits, but I’m really loving the look of this wall. It adds such a whimsical dynamic while still keeping it classy. Plus, the pop of turquoise isn’t overwhelming as it fades.

What do you think of this Ombre wall? Are you loving the look as I am or not feeling it?

The past few days have been spent visiting with relatives, and the subject of home decor came up. This led to the talk of history repeating itself, with my mom and aunt discussing how furniture trends from when they were younger have been coming back.

And one of those they mentioned was the Butterfly Chair, so I thought why not look around and see how it’s being used? I love that it works both indoors and outdoors, in canvas, cowhide or with a sheepskin. It’s no wonder that such a chair has made it back – in my opinion, at least.

What do you think about the Butterfly Chair? Do you agree that certain trends are back more than ever?

In looking for animal heads on Pinterest for all of the different ways they can be incorporated into home decor, I didn’t realize that I had found six – quite appropriate, though, isn’t it?

Anyway, it seems that faux animal heads are in trend right now, and I wanted to see all the ways they’ve been featured. So here we go!

Starting with a flat animal head, we move on to a cluster of wicker animal heads, which is then followed by a colorful animal head and a paper mache animal head, then rounded out with stuffed animal heads and a mirrored animal head.

If you were going to hop on the animal head bandwagon, which way would you go? Me? I’d go mirrored all the way!

The April issue of Elle Decor arrived in my mailbox last night, but I didn’t even have a chance to look through it yet.

I did, however, have a five minute love session with that gorgeous blue velvet sofa on the cover. Even my living room noticed the cover and started begging me for a sofa that looks just like it! (Too corny?!)

Anyway, have you read the April issue yet? What page was your favorite?
