Interior designer Huong Vu is a firm proponent of the transformative power of color in home decor. She suggests, “The vibrant blue shiplap infuses this bedroom with a nautical essence, offering a cost-effective and striking DIY transformation.” This idea of a blue shiplap accent wall is a compelling example of that. By painting your shiplap wall blue, you can effortlessly evoke breezy and nautical vibes in your bedroom, reminiscent of the ocean.

Huong’s insight further reinforces the potential of this DIY project. She continues, “It harmonizes with the sandy-colored furniture, effortlessly evoking a coastal ambiance, making it a smart choice for budget-conscious decorators aiming for a high-impact, beach-inspired theme.” Pairing your accent wall with beach-inspired bedding and pillows, and accessorizing with beachy signs, will enhance the overall mood of the room, bringing the spirit of the ocean right into your sleeping sanctuary.

11 Things To Know Before Committing to a Built-in Desk

There is something so classic and beautiful about built-in furniture, especially if it’s original to the home and retains its original character. These traditional pieces infuse a home with so much life and interest that it’s easy to make the connection between bookcases and desks. It’s only been within the past few decades that the proliferation of built-in desks has exploded. This has only been more obvious in the remote-work era (pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/03/30/about-a-third-of-us-workers-who-can-work-from-home-do-so-all-the-time) we’re living in today.

While built-in desks add charm and beauty, they can also come with major drawbacks, including outdated designs, expensive materials, and a space that can become a dumping ground for items with nowhere else to go. On the other hand, they can also be stunningly beautiful workspaces that add beauty and character to a home and provide a quiet space to focus. Be sure to consider your family’s lifestyle, needs, and preferences as you peruse through our curated gallery below.
