Black White & Gold Target Finds to Decorate Your Home

I am a HUGE fan of Target. Like, obsessed. Shopping at Target is a hobby of mine. Can anyone else relate? :) I try to stick to online shopping at Target, because this is usually how it goes in-store:

I especially love Target's home furnishings & decor because they have so many affordable, on-trend items. I redesigned this office with almost all products from Target! No one should sacrifice great style when on a budget, and that’s why Target is one of my first stops when hunting for new furnishings. I also have the Target REDcard which saves me 5% on every purchase AND I get free 2-day shipping. How amazing is that?

Right now, Target has some great 4th of July sales offering up to 30% off home decor. Since my design style isn’t really “Red White & Blue” I’ve decided to put my own spin on it and round up some of my favorite “Black White & Gold” furnishings & decor from Target. I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe to see more posts like this!

How to Style a Tablescape in 3 Easy Steps

I don’t know about you guys, but I am SO happy it’s summer! There’s nothing better than summer in Chicago and it’s my favorite time of year to entertain – everyone is always happy and the rosé never stops flowing! When entertaining, I love creating beautiful table settings for guests to enjoy and it allows me to be creative with designs, textures and colors. Today I’m sharing 3 easy steps for creating a tablescape – you’ll be surprised by how easy it can be! I’ve also linked all products from this tablescape below!

Step One: Choose your Theme/Style

When creating a tablescape, I start by deciding my overall theme based on the occasion taking place – the occasion could be a casual brunch, afternoon tea, formal dinner, etc. I put together this tablescape for a small dinner party and knew I wanted it to have an elegant feel while still keeping it appropriate for summer. I wanted to incorporate blush & gold (my favorites) to create a warm ambiance and found some GORGEOUS rose gold charger plates that I’m obsessed with (pictures below). I decided immediately that the rest of the tablescape design would revolve around these chargers.

Step Two: Create the Place Settings

When it comes to putting together your place settings, layering is key – it adds depth & dimension to a table, and allows you to add different colors, textures and patterns. Below are some typical place setting items for tablescapes:

1.    Table runner or linen
2.    Placemat
3.    Charger Plate
4.    Dinner Plate
5.    Salad/Accent Plate
6.    Napkin
7.    Napkin Ring
8.    Drinking Glasses
9.    Silverware

There are many different ways to set a table and add layers, so do whatever works best for your occasion and meal! You may need to add a bowl for soup or an extra plate for dessert, or you may choose to go without a charger plate for a more casual vibe. There are no rules, so have fun with it! The “staple” items for place settings include plates, drinking glasses and silverware. Once you have these items, you can play around with everything else and mix it up. For example, you may choose to use a bright, floral-patterned napkin in the spring/summer, and switch it out for a darker-colored napkin in the fall/winter.

I chose to go with a neutral, champagne-colored placemat so the rose gold charger plates could stand out. I then used my staple white dinner plates, and a soft blush salad plate on top. Can we talk about how stunning the rose gold silverware is? I’m obsessed. Lastly, I put out champagne glasses because starting with champagne makes any occasion feel more exciting and elegant. I love this quote:

Step Three: Add Decor

 This is my favorite part of styling a tablescape! Adding a few decorative accents will make a tablescape look polished and complete - candles, string lights, lanterns, votives and other decorative items are all great elements to incorporate and bring the table together.

When it comes to decorating a tablescape, I always start with a centerpiece. Flowers are a beautiful go-to centerpiece, however there are many other options! For a brunch, your centerpiece could be a cake stand filled with baked goods. For a casual dinner, your centerpiece could be a large hurricane candle holder. Since I was going for a more elegant look, I chose to use flowers for my centerpiece and incorporated a few different colors in each bouquet, including greenery which helps make any space feel alive.

I placed the flowers on top of a sheer blush table runner - I love this runner because it adds some soft texture & color but doesn’t overwhelm the table. I then added some gold taper candles to balance the height of the flowers, as well as some smaller votive candles. I love decorating with candles because they create a warm & soft ambiance.

I also love this gorgeous tray because it’s both functional & stylish!

I had so much fun creating this design, and I hope these 3 easy steps will help you style your next tablescape! Click here to see more pictures of this tablescape.

Alternative Seating Options for Styling your Space

Source

As an apartment hopper in Chicago, I haven’t been blessed with the largest spaces to work with, so I’ve had to get creative with my seating options! When planning seating arrangements (specifically in the living room) we tend to think of sofas & loveseats. However not all spaces can accommodate such large pieces, nor do those pieces work in every room! There are so many factors to consider when choosing seating including balance of the room, traffic flow, the focal point, the list goes on! Luckily there are so many great seating alternatives to your standard sofa & loveseat, and most of them can work in any room! Below is a list of some great alternatives, and I’ve linked some of my favorite pieces. Enjoy!

Accent Chairs

Accent chairs are great because they add extra seating and don’t have a large footprint. They are also a great way to add personality, color and style to any room! They can be used at the end of your bed, near a window, across from a sofa, or positioned around an ottoman to create a conversation area.

1. White & Gold Chair

2. Fuschia Chair

3. Gray Chair

4. Green & Gold Chair

5. Beige Chair

Benches

Benches are so versatile and can be used in almost any room of your home! You can place a bench at the foot of your bed for an easy spot to throw on some socks, or in your entryway to provide guests with a spot to put on their shoes. A lot of benches have storage inside, which can be great for tucking away blankets or storing kids’ toys.

1. White Fur Bench

2. Pink & Gold Bench

3. Gray & Silver Bench

4. Black & Gold Bench

5. Blue & Gold Bench

Chaise Lounge/Daybed/Settee

A chaise, daybed or settee is a great alternative to a sofa, especially if you have a small space. They provide extra seating without breaking up a room, allowing you to create various furniture arrangements. They can act as a room divider without taking up too much visual space, which helps the room flow nicely. These pieces offer a cozy place to sit back and relax!

1. Purple Chaise

2. Beige Chaise

3. White Settee

4. Green Chaise

5. Charcoal Gray Chaise

Ottomans & Stools

Stools & ottomans are even more versatile than benches due to their small size. I love tucking these under console tables and pulling them out when extra seating is needed. You can also utilize ottomans and stools when you need to balance a room, but don’t have the space for a larger piece.

1. Black & Gold Stool

2. White Fur Stool

3. Blush Pink Ottoman

4. Pink Ottoman

5. Navy Stool

6. White & Gold Stool

Floor Poufs & Pillows

Floor poufs add a really fun element to rooms. When you see one, you just want to plop down on it! Since they’re small like stools & ottomans, you can easily move them around and use them in various rooms!

1. Lavender Pouf

2. Gold Pouf

3. Grey Pouf

4. Teal Floor Pillow

5. Gold Square Pouf

6. Pewter Pouf
