Freshly baked pies, flowers plucked from the garden, and mixed generations; that’s what a summer dinner party looks like at Aerin founder Aerin Lauder’s East Hampton home. She’s brought that same relaxed spirit into her new collaboration with Williams Sonoma, spanning tableware and outdoor furniture that’ll make you want to start planning your own low-key gathering.

Fresh blues and whites are sprinkled throughout the collection, from the vintage-looking dinnerware to the scalloped and gingham table linens to the playful confetti tumblers. The color combination was a no-brainer for Lauder: It was her grandmother’s go-to palette. “Her line was all inspired by turquoise, and every room in her [Long Island] house was blue and white,” says Lauder.

The palette isn’t the only place Lauder referenced family memories. The outdoor furniture, made of all-weather wicker, was inspired by a massive basket her mom has owned for as long as she can remember. She fills this basket with smaller baskets, which Lauder often finds herself pulling for photo shoots. Needless to say, she has an affinity for the natural material and knew almost immediately after being approached by Williams Sonoma that it would be the star.

As for the pink onyx bathroom accessories? Those are directly inspired by Lauder’s own New York City apartment. As the style and design director for Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv, she knows a thing or two about skin care, and she sees the bathroom as one of the most important rooms in the house. “That’s where you start your day, and that’s where you end your day, and to have these wonderful accessories makes it that much more special,” she says. We think the tissue box holder is a family heirloom in the making.

IKEA’s Highly Anticipated Raw Color Collection Is Officially Available to Shop https://www.domino.com/style-shopping/ikea-raw-color-tesammans-collection/ Wed, 28 Feb 2024 18:25:33 +0000 https://www.domino.com/?p=329795

We’re grabbing this two-tone table ASAP.

“Colors are never alone; they need company,” says Christoph Brach, cofounder of Dutch design studio Raw Color. When Brach and his partner (in business and life), Daniera ter Haar, were approached by IKEA to design an 18-piece line of affordable carafes, pillows, rugs, lampshades, rolling carts, blankets, and mugs, they delivered a prismatic collection that includes 15 hues

That might not sound like a lot—until you see how they all play out on the products. The lampshades feature three tiers that transition from dark to lighter tones, each layer catching and reflecting light in a different way. The wool rug has the same striped pattern on both sides, so you can turn it over for longer use. The storage unit is on casters and made up of three cubbies, each one a different bold shade and size.

Fittingly, IKEA debuted the super-colorful collection at Paris Fashion Week, where the company took over 28 Rue de Lappe to also showcase a new collection of portraits by Annie Leibovitz. Ever since we heard about the news a month ago, we’ve been patiently awaiting this day: Raw Color’s Tesammans line with IKEA is officially available for purchase in-store and online.

One of the star pieces in the assortment is the powder-coated side table, which happens to use Brach and ter Haar’s favorite color: pink. “We really love pink. It’s not too bright, [and it] goes nicely with many different tones,” the duo shared in a recent Q&A with IKEA.

The table’s wavy red shell comes with a light blush top that—you guessed it—pops off to reveal hidden storage inside. When the lid is on, the $40 piece measures just shy of 15 inches tall, which means it can also double as a nightstand next to a low-profile bed. The bonus compartment can hold it all: a stack of books, rolled-up blankets, kids’ toys. And it’s further proof of Raw Color’s concept: The two hues are better together.

We found four woven seats with the same big personality.

The reason so many vacation rental interiors look the same is because they’re usually filled with furniture from big-box retailers. An IKEA floor lamp here, a Wayfair sofa there—stuff the homeowners won’t lose sleep over. So, as design lovers, we appreciate it when a host puts a little trust in us and furnishes a space with designer, custom, or even vintage pieces. Apparently, Taylor Swift has the same standards. 

Courtesy of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty; Design by Brad Currie and Shane Poulin (www.rosalitahouse.com)

According to Elite Daily, Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, booked the Rosalita House, an oceanfront estate on Harbour Island for their Bahamas getaway. The six-bedroom, $16,000-per-night rental, which was designed by Clemens Bruns Schaub architects Brad Currie and Shane Poulin, is decked out in tropical decor, including an enormous sectional swathed in coral-patterned fabric, palm tree sculptures, and turquoise terrazzo counters. At the top of one staircase landing, we spotted a pair of chairs and a side table we’d absolutely try to take home with us. 

Courtesy of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty; Design by Brad Currie and Shane Poulin (www.rosalitahouse.com)

Upon reaching out to Rosalita’s host, we uncovered that the pieces are in fact vintage finds from Paris and are made from seagrass. The discovery sent us down a 1stDibs rabbit hole, but the only super-similar items we could find were posted by the Vault in Sydney, which shared taller versions of what it calls “sculptural braided totem” chairs. Earlier this month, Merit in L.A. also listed five tripod stools made out of woven wicker pine needles, attributing the pieces as French from the 1980s. Our deputy editor, Julie Vadnal, confirmed the pieces’ retro roots: As our team Slack popped off about the chunky chairs in Swift’s rental, she shared a photo of an almost identical version she saw this week at the Round Top Antiques Fair. Much like the one from the Vault, the one she spotted in Texas had two circular backrests instead of one. 

This isn’t the first time a woven chair has brought a smile to our faces. Wicker is frequently used to create furniture with personality; perhaps that’s because it’s so malleable or because it exudes happy summer vibes. Remember Chris Wolston’s Nalgona chair? The seat has true-to-form arms and legs and looks like it’s going to wrap you in a big hug. Tom Dixon and Marzio Cecchi’s S-chairs are a touch more subtle, but there’s something about the exaggerated curves that are utterly humanlike, and we’re here for it.

Danish darling Hay is known for color combos that just hit right: maroon and baby blue duvets, yolk yellow and cream shower curtains, black and forest green rugs. Its newest line applies that stylish know-how to our furriest friends. Hay Dog is the brainchild of the brand’s cofounder, Mette Hay, and her friend Barbara Maj Husted Werner, owner of the very chic Copenhagen boutique Holly Golightly

While on a routine walk in the woods with their pups, the pair dreamed up a collection of everyday products that sport Hay’s signature mix of form and function, a cheerful palette, and utilitarian design. Mette, who is also the creative director for the brand’s accessories, wanted to bring some whimsy to the category, adding that pet items often lean into neutral or earth tones. Werner is in agreement. “Dogs have all kinds of ’personal items’ similar to any other member of the family, so why shouldn’t they be nice to look at?” she asks. She immediately got to work on the color-blocked dog bed design, which comes in three sizes appropriate for all kinds of breeds.

Beyond the bed, the capsule includes tri-tone dog bowls, a dog collar (we’re partial to the lavender and emerald), and a braided leash, too. All of the fabric pieces are made with recycled polyester, and the bowls are crafted from heavy stoneware so they don’t go flying when a big snout comes in hot for dinner.

This Sofa Style Has Never Been So Popular—Here’s Lulu and Georgia’s Fresh Take https://www.domino.com/style-shopping/lulu-and-georgia-curvy-shaw-modern-sofa/ Thu, 28 Mar 2024 20:22:22 +0000 https://www.domino.com/?p=332041

It’s funny how design trends can slip right onto your TikTok feed, tiptoe into your favorite stores, and slide right into your own home before you even realize it’s happening. But chances are you might have noticed a slight softening when it comes to one of the most important pieces of furniture: the sofa. You’re not alone—according to a recent survey from Afterpay, curved sofa designs have seen a 207 percent increase in purchases so far this year compared to 2023. The other item that has seen a significant bump? The curved table.

Sweeping sofa silhouettes have dotted interiors for generations, from Ubald Klug’s Terrazza sofa from the early 1970s to the De Sede DS600 Non-stop sofa of the same era. The new spring collection from Lulu and Georgia shows the range of a single curve. According to the brand, the furniture pieces are inspired by “the craving for everything bright, lighter, and airier.” The Shaw modern sofa is a prime example of this: It serves mid-century vibes with a wavy backrest, but clean lines and caramel-hued velvet bring it right back into the present day—it’s a refreshing (and lighter!) take on the super-curvy sofas of decades past.

But back to the topic of curvy tables for a moment, because this particular trend can be tougher to imagine in this space. You may be picturing wavy edges and drum-shaped bases, but, again, this collection challenges the traditional notion of a contoured silhouette. Take the Kent side table. The design drops a set of spheres right in the middle of the rectangular legs. (It’s fun! It’s quirky!) The Lozano accent chair is another favorite, with its chubby legs and rounded seat. The curvy ethos also trickles into the accessories (give the Kester bowl a peek for proof).

Some trends cross that vague and beautiful line into timeless territory, and it seems the idea of all things undulating is (and has been) on that journey. We recommend taking a cue from the Kent table and cozying up your curvy pieces next to a few angles for a splash of fresh contrast.

The “Ugly” Colors Dakota Johnson’s Designers Use to Give a Room Depth https://www.domino.com/content/pierce-and-ward-book-renovation-advice/ Wed, 26 Sep 2018 16:33:01 +0000 https://www.domino.com/content/pierce-and-ward-book-renovation-advice

Don’t shy away from pea green.

What do Dakota Johnson, Emma Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Hudson, and Tobey Maguire all have in common (other than their top-notch acting skills)? Their interior designer. All five stars have turned to Pierce & Ward to give their homes an Old Hollywood, lived-in feel. Since 2012, Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward, the design duo behind the firm, have created spaces that tell a story: moody living rooms with worn-out leather club chairs and crackling fires; large kitchens with beat-up butcher block counters and antique brass knobs; libraries filled with old books and Persian rugs. It’s no wonder the people who play some of our favorite movie characters want to work with them. In their book, A Tale of Interiors, Pierce and Ward share the renovation secrets that make their spaces feel cozy and a little bit magical—and most of them are surprisingly simple.

Embrace “Ugly” Hues

Photography by Jonny Marlow

Shades of beige and brown are rarely the go-to paint colors of choice, but Pierce and Ward, who coined the term ugly colors, say every house needs a dose of muddy tones. “We don’t want rooms to be too pretty and perfect. When you have those filler hues like pea green, puke-y mustard, and baby vomit, it somehow makes it better,” says Ward, laughing. They offset these underappreciated shades with beloved classics such as blush pinks and butter yellows.

Pierce & Ward’s Go-To “Ugly” Colors

Pierce & Ward’s Go-To Pretty Colors

Use Inexpensive Tile in Unconventional Ways

Despite having an A-list clientele, Pierce and Ward are both partial to classic, budget-friendly materials like subway tile. “You can do interesting things with grout colors and cover an entire kitchen with it,” says Pierce. They play with format, too. In one renovation, they picked a $5.99-per-square-foot black and white hex tile and laid it out in a floral pattern from floor to ceiling, even covering the range hood in the motif. When the budget allows, the designers also love clay tile for its organic feel and light-bouncing capacity. 

Work With the Cabinets You Have

Photography by Jonny Marlow

Dakota Johnson could probably afford any kitchen she dreamed up, but in her mid-century California home, Pierce and Ward chose to restore the original 1940s metal cabinetry and spray-paint it in Benjamin Moore’s Alligator Alley. “The house was built by Carl Maston, a really well-known architect in L.A. who was quite ahead of his time,” explains Ward. “We wanted to stick with what was there because it was already so good to begin with.” 

So it makes sense that when installing brand-new butcher blocks or cupboards—their preferred style is a simple Shaker panel—they look for imperfections. “We always tell our cabinetmaker, ‘Don’t make it too perfect,’” says Pierce. “Even if a cabinet is a little crooked, it’s okay.” The designers also place a lot of importance on vintage hardware, which they often source on Etsy. “I just want to find the right brass that’s not too shiny,” says Ward, who always looks for an antiqued finish. “It makes a new house feel so much older.”

Find Inspiration in What’s Already There

Photography by Jonny Marlow

For Johnson’s main bathroom, the design duo worked with what they had when choosing a dominant material. “The downstairs level had concrete floors, and the upstairs had old hardwood that needed to go,” explains Pierce. They brought the cement scheme to the upper floor and covered the space from floor to ceiling. Earthy burl-wood mirrors and peachy roman shades soften the harsh surface. “The house was surrounded by trees, and so the setting also came into play,” adds Ward. “What’s outside is really important when choosing a surface or palette.” 

Don’t Shy Away From Wallpaper All Over

Photography by Jonny Marlow

No stranger to a good floral wallpaper, Pierce and Ward often turn to wall coverings to add texture to a room, but they warn there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. “We love sourcing vintage wallpaper because we try to avoid using the hottest patterns,” says Pierce, who also notes that metallic surfaces are a big no-no. When it comes to application, the designers like to cover everything (sometimes even the ceiling) in the most inexpensive option rather than going the high-end route and doing only a feature wall. And for a custom touch, match a shade to use on the moldings and trims: “It gives its own little story.”

Potatoes, hot springs, river rafting, and…soaring home values? Idaho is now known for all these things. Architecture Lab recently used data from Zillow to compare the average home value of 2013 and 2023 in every state to see where the most significant increases were. It turns out, the mountainous Northwestern state has come out on top. Idaho has experienced the biggest spike (171.03 percent to be exact), with 2013’s average value coming in at $159,567 and jumping to $432,476 in 2023. Here’s a look at the 10 states that have seen the largest leaps in home values, and what that average increase translates to in dollars. 

  1. Idaho ($287,665)
  2. Florida ($250,874)
  3. Nevada ($294,686)
  4. Georgia ($208,490)
  5. Arizona ($285,003)
  6. Utah ($344,212)
  7. Washington ($396,512)
  8. Colorado ($385,438)
  9. Montana ($291,949)
  10. Tennessee ($203,414)

When you think of homes in Idaho, you probably picture a cozy log cabin or traditional modern farmhouse, but looking back at some of our favorite projects in the state, we uncovered so much more than rustic charm. Here are four Idaho homes that have no shortage of clever ideas. 

The One With the Custom-Looking IKEA Pax Closet

Before Julia and Chris Marcum moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, they called this six-bedroom Tudor in Idaho Falls home. When the design blogger duo was quoted a cool $30,000 to have a walk-in closet built from scratch, they turned to IKEA’s beloved Pax system and pulled it off for a mere $3,000.

The One That Proves the Power of Paint

Kirsten Grove, Sam Salinas, and Bernadette Lindstrom, the trio behind We Three Design, brought this Nampa home’s 1902 character back to life, largely thanks to smart paint choices. The kitchen is swathed in Sherwin-Williams’s Rock Bottom, a moody green-gray that even makes the brick backsplash feel modern. In one of the bedrooms, they drenched the walls, ceiling, window trim, and medallion in Autumn Orchid.

The One With a Warm Welcome

Juniper Interiors opted for the ultimate first impression in this Idaho Falls home with white oak herringbone flooring and a steel arched door.

The One That’s All About the Vanities  

An important material for any mountain house is wood, but Yond Interiors didn’t go the expected pine route for this Sun Valley home. In the bathrooms, the firm introduced white oak vanities with elevated details like long integrated handles and prominent rails and stiles. The math is all making sense now.

The thrill of landing the perfect arched storage cabinet, slipcovered sofa, hand-thrown planter, or rippled glassware set on sale is second to none. But the hunt takes hustle. As our editors already spend hours combing the Internet for scores like this, we decided to spotlight the worthiest for your carts. The criteria? Sales on Domino readers’ most-loved brands and markdowns on quality products with rave reviews. Below, discover our chosen best deals of the week. 

(And check back in seven days for a fresh or updated batch as we spot new discounts.)

Before its Anniversary Sale returns this summer, Nordstrom’s seasonal Spring Sale happens first, and it’s currently running through April 2. It’s the perfect reason to give those virtual shelves a closer look to see if our editor-favorite design brands have dipped in price. Thankfully, the up to 50% discount applies across the retailer’s site—there are 600-plus home products alone to sift through, from fancy fragrances (like an exclusive collaboration between Boy Smells and Ganni) to cult-favorite cookware like Le Creuset and Smeg—but we narrowed things down to just 10, below, so you can get straight to shopping. 

Nordstrom: Up to 50% Off

Our top Spring Sale picks include up to 25% off LSA glassware, up to 45% off Tartan Blanket Co.’s check-and-gingham–adorned wool blankets, and up to 56% off Tekla’s brightly dyed linen tablecloths. Even Kartell throws its hat into the deals ring this time with a $20 off hourglass-shaped side table. But if the steepest steals are what you’re after, try our pro tip: You can sort by percentage off (20% to 70%) by clicking on the discount drop-down on the left-hand side of the site.   

The Conran Shop: Up to 60% Off 

Perhaps the best surprise after combing through Nordstrom’s sale assortment, however, is discovering that the Conran Shop alone is offering up a bevy of discounted goodies—28, to be exact. From the whimsical British design brand comes a seaweed-adorned glazed bowl at 60% off, a ceramic platter dressed up with a trendy fish motif that’s 45% off, hand-painted coffee mugs that are all 40% off, and much, much more. Here’s our slimmer selection of six we’re tempted to cop ourselves.

Even the yoga mat makes a statement.

There are some people who fly by the seat of their pants, purchasing beautiful things for their homes as they come across them. Then there are those who set an alarm for Target’s designer collaborations. Consider us a part of the latter crew, and we’re pumped about the most recent collection from Diane von Furstenberg. You may be thinking: Wait, the DVF who makes wrap dresses? That’s right. But she’s also the brains behind some pretty fun home decor and made-to-order furniture.

From glassware to yoga essentials, this drop showcases the designer’s range. (And, yes, there is more than one wrap dress on the roster as well.) Starting today, you can shop the new pieces—but act quick, as with most designer collaborations, these picks won’t last. 

A Dotty Pitcher to Remind You to Drink Water

It’s a little bit retro, carries some major art class vibes, and we 100 percent love it. This glass pitcher will become the centerpiece of your dining space—or, for all the hydration-obsessed folks out there, your nightstand.  

A Yoga Mat Classmates Will Ask About

The floral mat design clashes with the leopard-print carry strap in the best way possible, plus its thick and grippy texture means you won’t slide around while hitting even the toughest poses.

A Room Divider That Can Stand Out or Blend In

It’s pretty wild how quickly a room divider can change a space. Why? Because it often becomes so much more than a simple way to break up a room. It can function as a photo-slash-Zoom background and even a pinboard. Snag the matching wrap dress if you really want to become one with your home.

A Set of Salad Plates That Only Appear Vintage

Dishwasher- and microwave-safe, these stoneware plates will get you through snack cravings with a splash of colorful style. The four-piece set is decorated with a toile-inspired print that’ll look a bit like an abstract painting when covered with something delicious.

A Floral Blanket You’ll Love Napping Under

It doesn’t take much for a throw blanket to be nap-friendly, but there is a high bar for finding one that you’ll want to leave out once you shake the sleep off. This jacquard poppy design is chic, the kind of thing you see at a hotel and desperately want to pack in your suitcase.

A Glassware Set That Looks Like a Watercolor Painting

4pc Short Glass Drinkware Set , DVF for Target ($30)

If you’re often hosting friends for dinner, drinks, or impromptu catch-up sessions, this set of short glasses will be a great addition to your entertaining rotation. We love how the vessels mimic a glass of water after a paintbrush has been dipped into it. Just remind guests these are, in fact, clean and didn’t come from your craft closet.

Kohler Is Bringing Back This Vintage Toilet Color—And the Shade Is Shocking https://www.domino.com/design-by-room/kohler-formation-smart-toilet/ Fri, 22 Mar 2024 16:17:00 +0000 https://www.domino.com/?p=331616

Kohler has been playing with its archival colors in all kinds of ways lately, reissuing greens, pinks, yellows, and more for its bathtubs, sinks, and toilets. The eye-catching moves continue with the company’s latest collaboration with artist-designer Dr. Samuel Ross and his industrial design studio SR_A. Yes, you’re seeing straight: It’s bright orange.

Formation 02, a limited-edition silhouette for the Eir smart toilet, is the second entry in Ross’s Formation line with the brand, preceded by an architectural faucet made from a new composite material called Neolast. The electric hue draws inspiration from Tiger Lily, a color Kohler introduced in 1967 for various applications in the bathroom and a signature of the designer.

Brutalist in style, the commode’s shape pays homage to the velocity and power of water. Unique molding and tooling techniques result in a base with dramatic angles and texture, not unlike cliffs or crags carved over time by water. Combined with the orange color, Formation 2 would make a serious statement in an all-white, windowless powder room, funky pool house, or a maximalist main bathroom. (This isn’t the first time we’ve been taken with an orange toilet—peep the tangerine surprise in this Paris apartment.) 

Courtesy of Kohler

It still comes with all the features of the Eir: a heated seat, customizable cleansing, nightlight, hands-free opening/closing, automatic flush, and a touch-screen remote. “Formation 02 combines our industrial expertise and technological prowess with our strong belief in the power of creativity to challenge and drive forward progress,” says Scott Edmunds, vice president of Kohler Marketing. The piece will debut at Milan Design Week this year and be available at sra.kohler.com on April 16. Who said shower tile was the only way to go bold in the bathroom?
