Hi all, it’s Kate Cabiltes! I’ve noticed a furniture trend lately that I simply cannot ignore. Many of the modern rooms on social media are incorporating geometric furniture, or pieces literally made up of different shapes. While some are more over the top than others, selecting one or a few could really up the modern feel in your space without looking too cold or sterile. You can have a lot of fun with furniture or accents made of triangles, cylinders, circles, etc. and pieces in all price points are starting to pop up everywhere and in an array of colors...

Hi all, Kate Cabiltes here! There’s something so perfect about the kitchen of Jane Rileyspotted on The Glitter Guide. The bones of the space seem quite classic but the accents and fixtures are anything but. Although white kitchens have been super trendy for some time now, there is a timelessness to them that is undeniable. With neutral wooden floors and classic appliances, she is able to add pops of personality by way of the color packed Moroccan rug, geometric wall tiles and illuminating trio of blown glass pendants. This is a kitchen that makes me smile – it’s equal parts style... Read more

Nest Studio is thrilled to announce the release of the second in series of artisan collaborations, the Lauhala collection. Lauhala pairs the precise lines of Nest's existing Mod pulls with the hand-woven work of Hawaii-based jewelry brand Kū + Moe. Artisan Iliahi Anthony utilizes the native Hawaiian "lauhala" or screwpine leaf to wrap the pulls, lending a softness and organic feel that adds the perfect natural element to interiors and furniture. Lauhala leaves are a rapidly renewable resource in the South Pacific.  The indigenous Pandanus, or screw pine trees, from which they are derived, grow prolifically throughout the Hawaiian Islands.  The Lauhala leaves can be harvested, transported...

Hello all, Kate Cabiltes here! I think we can all agree that this dining table by Damien Langlois-Meurinne is everything. This French designer ideated and carried out the look of this room and it reads unique with a very edgy upscale vibe. The marble wall slabs and slate chevron floor tiles give a super sleek modern feel while the vintage wooden chairs and ledges boasting artwork balance the “modern-ness” out a bit. Would you entertain in this room? I'd sit my guests under these Lindsey Adelman Branching Bubbles in a heartbeat. In a space like this, how could a dinner party not be a... Read more

Hey hey, it’s Kate Cabiltes! I’m smitten with this colorful midcentury bedroom spotted on Homepolish recently by designer Amy Courtney. It’s great to see that you can take a plain white space and add so much color and personality without even altering the walls or window treatments. All of the design here is coming from the furniture and accents, many of which have a midcentury influence. I’m obsessed with both light fixtures but also impressed with the fact that a homemade quilt looks so natural in a rather modern and trendy space. This look would be fun to imitate and... Read more

Hi all, it’s Kate Cabiltes! I’m so happy to have stumbled across this living room by Alyssa Kapito Interiors on Pinterest because it let me into this designer’s world of refined modern taste. Though often outfitted in muted color palettes her rooms are statement making often because of the striking array of textures, shapes and styles she sources in her furniture and decor. In this particular NYC pad I am obsessed with the hanging light fixture (I wish I could find the exact replica!) as well as the black tooth-inspired stools. There is so much to look at in this...

Hi, it’s Kate Cabiltes! Though I’ve never had the pleasure of staying in Hero Beach Club, I discovered this hot spot while randomly scrolling Instagram. Located at The End of the World on Montauk, this beach haven opened last summer in a 1950s motel. Designed by Manhattan design firm Curious Yellow, the hotel gives off a “zen” vibe which makes sense considering much of their furniture was commissioned from the tranquil Bali. Their public space is used to showcase up and coming artists and I am enamored by the geometric wall art in the photos which tugs at my child... Read more

Wow, how is it already the end of May?  With all the ICFF prep and payhem that we just got done with I am super late to the game writing this post.  Here goes. Motumo Linen is my first pick for May. As soon as it gets warm I am all about wearing dresses (selecting tops and bottoms to make an interesting outfit is the bain of my existence). I discovered Motumo’s Etsy shop recently and love all of their easy linen pieces. Everything is made to order in your size.  I purchased a couple of dresses from them and... Read more

Hey, Kate Cabiltes here! It’s no secret that I think every interior designed by Amber Interiors turns to gold and this slate and copper bathroom is my favorite yet from her portfolio of bathrooms. The clean white walls and light wood double vanity (a similar one could be found here) contrast with both the dark hexagon floor and charcoal rectangular wall tiles. The copper sconces are truly unique and carry out the rosy glow of the vanity cherry wood and the Morrocan rug. This is a space that should appeal to many – it’s as modern as it is zen!... Read more

Hello, Kate Cabiltes here! I made a mental note of this nursery space months back after spotting it on My Domaine because I was intrigued by the unconventional beauty of it. While most nurseries are decked out in pastels, this room has a dark hued palette anchored by the deep blue walls and black painted fireplace. It’s truly gender neutral due to its variety of colors and stylish pieces, none of which are overly themed. The mixture of modern pieces (the light fixture) and vintage (the rocking chair) makes this baby’s haven even more interesting and will allow the room... Read more
