Our Design Consultants Share The Inspiration Behind Our Custom Bedding

August 9, 2021

While it is hard to believe that hibernation season (aka when the temperature drops below 40, hah!) is in our near future, time is moving fast! Now is the perfect opportunity to cozy up to some stunning new bedding creations. I am so excited to be back this week with more bedding to share with you. I have the absolute best team of designers here at Nell Hill’s and they have been keeping me in awe each and every month with gorgeous new bedroom designs. I have loved being able to see them express their personal styles here at the shop, because as I’ve said before, the best way to get to know someone is to see their bedroom!

A Rug Can Make All the Difference

August 2, 2021

Besides being a gorgeous flooring choice, hard wood floors give us a wonderful, warm blank canvas to play with a wonderful New Traditional staple: rugs. It is my firm belief that a home isn’t complete without floor coverings. A rug can take a space from barren and chilly to warm and inviting.

Building Blocks of New Traditional Style

July 12, 2021

New Traditional design is the best of both worlds, classic and fresh, livable and luxe, formal and fun. Using a mixture of traditional elements with contemporary touches creates a space that is full of life and personality. There are many levels and iterations when it comes to bringing this unique style into your home. I’ve pinpointed my favorite additions that make for a stunning New Traditional atmosphere whether you want to tip the scales towards timeless or trendy.

Building a Beautiful Vignette

May 10, 2021

I love a good vignette. These small, curated style statements made up of a group of objects can be found displayed on shelves, tabletops, and elsewhere in a home. These pretty collections can be used to tie a space together, incorporate beloved items into your décor, or add functionality to a surface. Of course, we use them all over the shop to display our wares, too, and our goal is to inspire you to take the same pieces home with you for your own creations! But if you’re new to creating vignettes, where does one begin?

Internet Aesthetics: Cottagecore and Cluttercore

August 24, 2020

New Traditional design is always adapting and growing to include inspiration from like-minded design movements in order to stay a stimulating and timeless style choice, and I for one love to look at all the new visions that are coming into the spotlight! Gen Zs and Millennials are taking to their social platforms to create new image combinations that create a visual feast and a surprisingly specific design viewpoint.

The New Tradition of Grandmillennial Style

June 15, 2020

I believe that what you love is always “in style” and if you curate your aesthetic around colors, patterns, and objects that draw you in, your home will be timeless and feel just right no matter how the times change. That is why my love of New Traditional design, sometimes considered the “anti-trend” style, has been so fulfilling. Mixing vintage with modern, the bold with the beautiful, and the maximalism with even more maximalism creates a beautiful space full of personality. So, image my surprise when over the last few months, I have seen a boom on social media for the New Traditional aesthetic, all thanks to a “new” design movement called Grandmillennial Style. It truly re-energizes me that a style I love has gotten a revival and I hope that Grandmillenial Style outlives it’s “trend cycle” for today’s younger generation just as New Traditional has endured for me!

Getting WILD with Textiles

September 2, 2019

I am just going to go ahead and say it- I think animal prints get a bad rap! Glad I got that off my chest. I’ve seen the articles and heard the talk that animal textiles are a décor faux pas (or maybe a faux-paw in this case 😉). It is time to take a walk on the wild side in this weeks blog post and put this falsehood to rest by highlighting some of my favorite animal prints that we use in the shop to make a bold statement with New Traditional design.

Wallpaper: The Great Comeback of 2019

August 26, 2019

It is true what they say- if you wait long enough old trends will make their way back in fashion (unless we are talking about shag carpet in which case, that can stay in the past)! One of my favorite “comebacks” of the last few years is wallpaper.

June 17, 2019

With summer off to a busy start, I have been craving a retreat, an oasis where I can relax and renew.
