Snag The Latest Decor Deals For Up To 70% Off

image
I'm super happy to be bringing back Stylehive's much loved (by me, at least) Decor Deals feature! The sale highlights found here are not to be missed. They say that good things come to those who wait, right? Well, I'm definitely glad that I wait for things to go on sale when I shop. I'm not talking about a measly 20% or 30% off either! I do the bulk of my shopping when the discounts reach 50% off or more. When it comes to home decor, it's even better to wait because you never have to worry that they'll run out of your size. One of my favorite picks is the Chair Art Insert from West Elm which are only $4.99 and are guaranteed to bring a little whimsy to your walls. Another fabulous deal is the unique laser cut rug that will transform any room in an instant. Take a look at my slideshow to see the rest of the steals!

Hot In The Hive: Serio Glass Speakers

image
The latest development in speakers from the sound-quality experts at Waterfall Audio are like none you've ever seen before. There are no crazy or cutesy shapes like Lego or Sanrio characters, and no three-in-one capabilities like reading lights, alarm clocks or microwaves. In fact, the Serio Glass Speakers are innovative and stylish because of their minimalism -- small, square, flat, and therefore widely versatile, these speakers can be mounted on the wall, sit discreetly on your desk or shelf, or perch atop their optional floor stand. They come in black, white, or silver, but in case you want to take their sleek little design up a notch, they also come with optional color grills for anyone who thinks they're just too cute to stay camouflaged!


Price: 179.00 GBP

The Top 10 Must Haves For Your Turkey Day Table!

image
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and before you think about all the Black Friday deals out there, there's the actual Thanksgiving Day to think of first! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it's one of the few times of the year where my entire extended family comes together for a whole day filled with delicious food. We may have the conventional turkey and cranberry sauce, but my family has been known to roll some sushi rolls or add some stir fry noodles to the mix. If you're starting your own Thanksgiving traditions this year, I'm here to provide the basics for a foolproof holiday from thermometers to serveware. If you have no idea where to start, grab a copy of The New Thanksgiving Table at Crate & Barrel for some creative recipes. Thanksgiving is also all about the decorations so I like things that can do double duty such as the uber cute Pheasant Gravy Boat! Check out my slideshow for more Thanksgiving necessities!

Add An Urban Touch To Minimalist Style With Industrial-Chic Home Decor

image
Some of the coolest room and home decor themes are also the most minimal and deconstructed. It's a look that's hip and has just the right amount of edge for the home. There's a certain nonchalance about a place that looks great without appearing overly contrived. A half-finished, industrial style has a bad-boy appeal and is actually quite easy to achieve with just the right accents. Think metals - iron, steel, and chrome - and newer materials, like plastics and glass. By getting rid of clutter and adding simple furniture and unique decor, you can soon start living in your own street-savvy spot! Click on the slideshow for some great ideas on how to make your home sleek and industrial-chic!

Hot In The Hive: Moshi Voice Control Alarm Clock

image
Finally -- an alarm clock for the sleeper who really doesn't want to get up. Since my alarm isn't within arm's reach, I always have to physically haul myself out of bed every time I want to smack the snooze button! The techie braniacs at Moshi clearly had everyone's lazy-bum side in mind when they invented the Voice Control Alarm Clock. Now you can shut your alarm clock off (or set the time, or check the temperature, or even set your next alarm time) by simply telling it off -- with its trusty voice control technology. I'm kind of thinking this device is dangerous for those who sleep like the dead (or those who talk in their sleep), but it does sound awfully convenient for us anti-morning people!


Price: $24.99

Stylish And Comfy Countryside-Chic Inspiration For Your Home!

image
As much as I like the more edgy take on fashion these days, it's all about comfort and relaxation for me when it comes to my home. So while I may don some leather leggings and fingerless gloves, I want to be able to return home and breathe a sigh of relief, curl up and be comfortable. Overstuffed furniture, wicker accents and countryside-inspired prints and florals are reminiscent of a cozy house and home style. So while mom can't be there everyday whipping up her famous chicken noodle soup and green bean casserole, you can add a few things around the house that give you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Check out the slideshow for some easy ideas on how to make your living space country chic and comfortable!

Vintage Fashionistas Cheer For Pink And Orange!

image
You don't need to be a genius to determine that I am not a big fan of pink, based on a quick peek into my closet. Or orange, for that matter. So it's hard for me to explain why I squeal with delight when I see these two colors together. I guess sometimes what seems like two fashion wrongs can actually make a big fashion right! And lots of folks agree. Like Jonathan Adler, for instance, who believes there's no better way to banish the blues than with this bright color combination. Or Alexander Girard and so many other designers in the 1960s who married these two tangy shades in home decor and advertising as well as in fashion. Today's slideshow features some outstanding vintage examples of this zesty color pairing, which is like putting on an instant good mood (or enjoying a nice big scoop of rainbow sherbet). Who can possibly stay dreary while wearing something this bright and cheery? Click the slideshow to get inspired!
