March Reading List

A monthly round-up of what we’re reading in the world of plant styling, interior design, and more.

Deep cleaning, fresh air, and color. Spring is nature’s form of inspiration, and we’re going to let it inspire! This March we’re spending our time discovering impressive women in the design world, pondering new accent hues for spring, and talking about the style that will never go out of style—mid-century modern. Spring has us inspired, and we hope you feel inspired, too.

Women make the (art) world go round
In light of International Women’s Day, we loved learning about these inspiring female designers from Wescover. From furniture designers to muralists to fiber artists, there is so much female talent to discover (and support!).
Pausing with plants for better health
New Yorker Brittany Gowan knows a thing or two about mindfulness and the impact nature can have on our wellbeing. Combining her love of plants with a background in executive coaching and psychology, she created Pause With Plants in an effort to help other city-dwellers like herself connect to the natural world. Read about her project in an exclusive interview here.
What do indigo, lavender, and cornflower blue have in common?
There’s no time like spring to make some decor updates. Start to get inspired with this round-up of super specific spring color trends in Domino Mag, fielded from 21 different designers surfacing surprising colors like dusty purple and mint.
Mid-Century Paint Colors
While we’re on the topic of colors, we’ve been talking all things mid-century this month and found much delight in these colors that really do nail the MCM look. So if dusty purple and mint are not for you, try golden yellow or tangerine.
Minimalist collaborations
Any home renovation junkies out there? Whether or not you’re a big fan of this line of entertainment, one thing is for sure: the new collaboration between Crate & Barrel and Leanne Ford (Restored by the Fords) is total eye candy, especially for those of us who lean towards a minimalist aesthetic.
