While summer months are for gallivanting outdoors, September is the month when many of us once again return home. School is back in session, offices have reopened, and life settles into a regular routine.
As you start to spend more time in your living space, it might be the moment for a fall refresh. That blank wall may have not bothered you when you were heading to the beach every weekend—but now you’ve gotta stare at it seven days a week. Apartment dwellers who signed new September 1 leases, or new home-owners that relocated before the start of the school year may even have entire rooms to fill.
On that note, we at Vogue decided to round up notable home decor launches from the past month. Whether you are in need of some big ticket items, like furniture, or just some objets d’art, these are the fresh finds worth considering. Happy home shopping!
Parachute—the elevated, direct-to-consumer bedding company—is moving beyond sheets and soft goods. This month, they launch their first-ever line of bed frames inspired by the landscape of Los Angeles.
What does that look like, exactly? Think curved shapes swathed in soft linens: “The Canyon,” for example, is inspired by the windy roads of Laurel Canyon, whereas “The Horizon” takes its visual cues from the dusty sunrises over Venice Beach.
“Build it well or not at all,” is the slogan for Shinola’s new collaboration with Crate and Barrel. The two American brands teamed up to create a modern, urban collection that exudes warm industrialism: think black, white, and gold Moroccan shag rugs, walnut wood desks, and tawny leather couches. The aesthetic is inspired by Shinola’s home city of Detroit—but would still feel right at home in a Tribeca loft, or a contemporary retreat on Malibu’s Carbon Beach.
“This younger generation has the drive to live uniquely and to support creatives,” Jen Roberts, CEO of Design Miami, told Vogue about DM/BX, the esteemed fair’s new e-commerce site that aims to support emerging makers and attract a millennial audience. There are ceramics by self-proclaimed “ghetto potter” Roberto Lugo, brightly-colored clay stools by Diego Faivre, and dinnerware by Faye Toogood for 1882 Ltd, just to name a few. Everything is unique in form yet reasonable in function, and is meant to be a collectible conversation starter rather than cookie cutter piece.
Jenni Kayne—a favorite clothing brand of California cool girls—is giving curation a go. The designer has partnered with contemporary art e-commerce site Tappan to start selling emerging artists on their website and in stores, as well as on Tappan.com. Fittingly, much of the work chosen focuses on the oh-so-Cali themes of sea, sun, and shore.
Mirror sales spiked during the pandemic—not because we wanted to look at ourselves more (actually, Zoom made sure of the opposite), but because, as we literally stared at the walls, many of us noticed blank spaces that needed filling. While picking out art can feel like an intimidating process, easy-to-order-online mirrors were an immediate and effective fix.
So it’s no surprise that popular furniture retail site Chairish just partnered with Fleur Home—a mirror company whose sculptural, often hand-painted frames double as artwork themselves—on an expansive new collection. Fleur finds a forever muse in their home city of New Orleans: Their “carnival” offerings, for example, are inspired by the motifs of Mardi Gras, whereas “Garden District” objects are adorned with Southern floral blooms.
In the neverending quest for calmness, Bearaby’s weighted blankets serve up snuggly comfort, with one Vogue editor even calling hers “essential to my wellbeing.” She’s not alone: at one point, the waitlist for a Bearaby “Tree Hugger” blanket was 80,000 people long.
Good news: the company just launched a new fall collection made with sustainable materials. It comes in autumnal colors like maple, mahogany, cocoa, driftwood and iron bar, and might well be an antidote to seasonal depression.
