Weekend decorating idea: switch up your pillow style for bliss

With the new year fast approaching it is the perfect time to begin reassessing your home for the upcoming year. Each new season provides us the opportunity to evolve in our personal aesthetic. Without growth and change, we can find ourselves feeling stuck, and with that comes feelings like anxiety, confusion, stress, etc. When you open yourself up for growth and expansion, your days are filled with excitement and inspiration that helps you become the best version of yourself because you are lit up by all that surrounds you. 

Which is why its important to freshen up your home to get aligned with who you and your family are becoming. One of the easiest and most fun ways to switch up your home style without a total overhaul is switching out your pillows. Creating a unique pillow combination is similar to styling an outfit, it gives the whole look some personality and is an expression of you. I like to encourage my clients to have fun with pillows and not take it too seriously, it really can be so much fun to choose pillows according to your current mood. 

Arianna Belle shop is one of my personal favorite online pillow boutiques because you really can customize your pillow style. You can select different size options, unique shapes and you can even shop according to your color palette which makes it easier for you. After browsing around on her site (because the shop is having a big Cyber weekend sale), I found so many inspiring pillow combinations that have me wanting to re style up my sofa and bed now! 

Take a look at these inspiring looks. . .

Florals are so very right now and I love the Pine Hollyhock in charcoal mixed with pretty much any pillow. A few more classic pillows, linen leopard, Kelly Wearstler channels & the solid black border. 

The Kubus Argent is also such a chic and edgy addition. 

Does your pillow style reflect you living your best life? How can you change up your pillow game? Show me your pillows in the Blissful Living Lounge. I'd love to see them! 

5 Ways to Update and Decorate Your Home for Sagittarius Season

This post is going to show you 5 ways to update your home for Sagittarius season.

The sun is in fun and adventurous sign Sagittarius which is the perfect opportunity to bring some new life to your home décor! Sagittarius is the third fire sign of the zodiac and rules travel and higher education.

Many Sagittarians are eternal students and love to enrich their lives by connecting with people from all walks of life. And you too can enrich your life through your decor during Sagittarius season from November 21st through December 21st.

Sagittarius Season Tip #1: Find a Decorative World Map or Globe

Sagittarius is the sign of travel and many of them love to travel, especially to locations far-away from their home. One way to bring the energy of this sign into your home is by incorporating a cool decorative world map or globe into your decor.

This can be in your living room or even a small map in your office so you can physically mark all of the places in the world you have traveled to. It's a simple and fun way to remind us that there's a big world out there whenever we get too wrapped up in our own personal, everyday problems. (image via remodelaholic)

Sagittarius Season Tip #2: Style Your Fireplace or Get a Faux Fireplace

Sagittarius is the last fire sign of the zodiac and luckily sag season falls in the fall (no pun intended) in the northern hemisphere. This is the perfect time to cozy up with a comfy blanket and read your favorite book or binge watch your favorite shows in front of a fireplace.

If you're lucky enough to have a fireplace with a mantel, incorporate some cute decorative items, pictures and/or things that have some personal meaning. If you don't have a fire place, don't fret...there are plenty stylish faux and portable fireplaces that you can incorporate into your space and later tuck away when fall and winter are over.

Sagittarius Season Tip #3: Decorate with Books

Sagittarius rules higher education and many of them love reading books about different subjects. Books are obviously a great way to increase your knowledge and you can also have fun with them by color coding your bookshelf and/or putting your best looking hard cover books out on display. Even if you don't have the time to read them all, they are great to have out for your guests and can be a great ice breaker. (image via thepinkdream)

Sagittarius Season Tip #4: Expand Your Space with Mirrors

Sagittarius is ruled by planet of luck and expansion Jupiter which makes them one of the luckiest signs in the zodiac. Jupiter expands whatever it touches so one way to bring the energy of this planet into your space is by making it appear larger.

Since some of us may live in apartments or may not have the time or finances for a remodel, a great way to make your space look bigger is by incorporating mirrors into your space to reflect light. Make sure to get a statement making full length one for your entry way because who doesn't love a great mirror selfie? (image via IKEA)

Sagittarius Season Tip #5: Free Yourself of Clutter

Many Sagittarians do love to travel but for those that don't, the travel aspect of their sign is expressed through their need for freedom. This is a sign that cannot and will not be tied down by anyone. We can all take a page out of their book by freeing ourselves in some way and a great way to do this is by relieving ourselves of clutter.

Clutter weighs you down and blocks creativity so it’s important to clear out your space - closets, kitchen, bathroom, etc - to make way for new things and opportunities. And there’s no better time to do this than at the end of the year before we move into the start of the new year. Grab my Blissful Living Life Decluttering workbook here and finally learn how to do this right. Donate the things you no longer need to goodwill or your favorite charity and you'll be ready to start the new year off by aligning with abundance energy!
