Hello little lovelies, it's Erika from Small Shop! 

I've been working on redecorating my bedroom, and in doing so, I realized I seem to like to incorporate 5 elements into my spaces. So I thought it would be fun to identify those 5 pieces and show some examples of how my fave designers often use this formula too!


grasscloth mirror, $499 / brass chandelier, $299 / Eames dowel leg chair, $399 /cowhide & horn stool, $149 / vintage Oushak rug, $295

Now let's take a look at some of my fave spaces and how the designers have incorporated these 5 elements:


There are always pieces that crossover and do double-duty as well = bonus!

What's your formula for success?

    Nice formula, I don't tend to work by one. When I decorate it's usually a very slow process and are simply things I like - there probably is an underlying formula though.

    Okay, this formula is perfect! It's exactly what I love about rooms summed up into five parts!
