The Art of Spring Tablescapes: Hosting in Bloom
Spring is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to create the perfect spring tablescape. Whether you’re planning an intimate brunch, a lively garden party, or a celebratory dinner, a beautifully curated tablescape sets the tone for a memorable gathering. 1. Start with a Color Palette Spring is all about soft pastels, vibrant greens, and pops of floral hues. Think sage green, blush pink, sky blue, or sunny yellow. Combine these colors to create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. For a more sophisticated look, pair soft neutrals like ivory or beige with one bold accent color. 2. Layer Textures and Patterns A well-layered table adds depth and personality. Mix crisp linens with woven placemats or textured chargers for an organic touch. Incorporate patterned napkins or plates featuring botanical designs to echo the blooms of spring. Don’t be afraid to combine different textures and prints—just keep the palette cohesive to maintain balance. 3. Incorporate Fresh or Faux Florals No spring tablescape is complete without flowers. Arrange fresh blooms like tulips, daffodils, or ranunculus in low vases for a lush centerpiece that won’t obstruct conversation. If fresh flowers aren’t an option, high-quality faux florals can deliver the same charm without the upkeep. 4. Choose Seasonal Serveware Spring-inspired serveware elevates your tablescape. Opt for delicate glassware, pastel-colored plates, or bowls with floral motifs. Add an elegant flourish and tie the theme together beautifully cutlery for a refined touch. 5. Personalize the Details Small, thoughtful touches make your tablescape truly special. Consider handwritten place cards, petite floral bundles tied to napkins, or spring-themed favors like seed packets or mini potted plants. These details show your guests how much you care and leave a lasting impression. 7. Keep It Functional While aesthetics are key, functionality should not be overlooked. Ensure your table has enough space for serving dishes and that the decor doesn’t overcrowd the dining experience. A well-designed tablescape strikes a balance between beauty and practicality. With these tips, you’ll create a spring tablescape that celebrates the season’s beauty and invites your guests to relax and enjoy. It’s time to set the table, embrace the blooms, and make memories that last long after dessert is served. Photography: Flying Sheep Country

Aman Giri at Home: Mastering the Art of Desert Chic
If you've ever laid eyes on Aman Giri, you know it's not just a hotel—it's a whole vibe. Nestled in the stunning Utah desert, this luxury resort blends rugged landscapes with minimalist, serene interiors that ooze sophistication. But here's the best part: you can channel those same desert-chic vibes right into your home without booking a plane ticket or hiring a design guru. Here's how! 1. Neutrals Are Your New Best FriendThink warm, earthy tones that reflect the desert landscape. Go for soft beige, sandy taupe, and warm terracotta. Mix in some stone-gray accents for that cool, laid-back vibe. It's all about keeping things calm and cohesive. Bye-bye, neon throws, and hello, serene color palette! 2. Play with TextureAt Aman Giri, it's not just about what you see, it's about what you feel. Soft linens, natural wood, and smooth stone are a must. Bring in those textural elements through woven rugs, wooden coffee tables, and linen throw pillows. Don’t be afraid to mix textures—rough meets refined for that ultimate desert-luxe look. 3. Sculptural SimplicityAman Giri’s interiors are all about clean lines and sculptural pieces. Swap out your overly fussy decor for simpler, statement-making items. Think about an abstract ceramic vase or a sleek, modern chair that makes a bold yet minimalist statement. Less is more, but make sure the “less” is stunning! 5. Let the Light InNatural light is everything at Aman Giri, and it should be in your home too. Maximize your windows, go for light, sheer curtains, and if possible, open up your space to bring the outdoors in. Can’t add more windows? Consider oversized mirrors to reflect natural light and make your space feel airy and open. 6. Get Cozy with FirelightChannel that magical Aman Giri fire pit by adding some cozy firelight to your home. Whether it’s an indoor fireplace, a fire pit in the backyard, or even just candles on your coffee table, firelight creates that warm, intimate ambiance that’s perfect for relaxing evenings. And voilà! With these tips, you'll be channeling that Aman Giri chic right in your own home. All images via Aman.com

Five Ways to Refresh Your Space for 2025
New year, new vibe! 2025 is here, and it's time to give your home a little glow-up. Whether you want to make a statement or just freshen things up, these five easy updates will have your space looking as stylish as ever. No major renovations required—just a few swaps and sprinkles of personality. Boxes & Baskets: The Stylish Storage Solution Clutter? Not in 2025! Chic storage boxes and baskets are here to save the day. Use woven baskets to hide all the “oops, guests are here” mess or stack sleek leather boxes for that effortlessly organized vibe. Bonus: They double as decor, so your space stays functional and fabulous. Pro Tip: Stick to natural textures like rattan or bamboo for a warm, organic touch. Art: Go Big or Go Bold Gallery walls? Still fabulous. But in 2025, oversized statement art is having its moment. A single large piece can redefine a room and give it that polished, gallery-like feel. Whether it’s an abstract painting, a vintage photograph, or a bold modern print, let your walls do the talking. Throw Pillows: The Quick Change Artists Throw pillows are like the accessories of your room—they can make or break the outfit! For 2025, we’re all about mixing textures and patterns. Think velvet or geometric prints paired with solids. Switch up your colors seasonally, and don’t be afraid to layer different shapes for a curated, “I totally planned this” look. Pro Tip: Stick to a cohesive color palette to avoid pillow chaos, but let one bold print steal the show. Lighting: Set the Mood Nothing says “new year, new me” like good lighting. Upgrade your space with sculptural table lamps, statement pendants, or ambient floor lamps. The trick? Layer your lighting—overhead, task, and accent lighting all working together to create a vibe that’s equal parts functional and cozy. Accent Chairs: The Statement Makers Accent chairs are the ultimate double agents—they look great and give you an extra spot to plop down (or just toss your laundry, we won’t judge). For 2025, think sculptural shapes, luxe materials like velvet or boucle, and a splash of bold color. Perfect in a corner, by a bookshelf, or next to a window. Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to pair a modern chair with a more traditional room. It’s all about contrast, darling! And there you have it: five easy ways to refresh your space for 2025. Small tweaks, big impact—because your home deserves to be as fabulous as you are. Now grab a basket, fluff those pillows, and let the glow-up begin!
