Table Decor Maximalists Will Love: Introducing Our Exclusive St. Frank Collection

When you think of maximalist decor, it’s easy to imagine the bright colors and bold mix of materials and patterns that’s been trending in homes and table settings in recent years. But the home decor brand St. Frank, which just launched in our Shop, brings even more depth to the maximalist look by working with artisans from around the world to bring one-of-a-kind pieces to your home.

“Our look is defined by a globally-inspired combination of traditional crafts, pattern-on-pattern pairing, a strong embrace of color and texture, and a high-low mix,” says St. Frank co-founder Christina Bryant Herbert, who describes St. Frank’s style as “eclectic maximalist.”

8 Design Trends to Inspire Your Holiday Hosting

Every September, Etsy’s official trendspotter Dayna Isom Johnson digs deep into her company’s vast library of handmade and vintage goods, pinpoints the pieces shoppers are searching for, and uses this data to uncover the season’s biggest holiday trends. This year’s big reveal includes trends like “Grandpa Chic” and “Gingerbread Girl”—terms that sound a little made up. But when you look closely at the materials and objects that encompass each trendline, they begin to mirror the styles that design pros are gravitating toward.

In speaking with Vogue stylist-turned-interior designer Jenna Chused (who recently opened the shop, Antik, in Brooklyn Heights) and Fawn Galli, who designs showrooms for retailers and interiors for a roster of NYC clients, the decor they’re loving for the holidays echo some of the styles that pop up in Etsy’s findings.

13 Essentials For Setting a Farmhouse-Inspired Table

Simple, clean, chic, cozy, and warm are all words often used to describe farmhouse design aesthetics. Under the umbrella of this design category—which is inspired by traditional European farmhouses from as far back as the 16th and 17th centuries—are tw…

Traditional farmhouses typically feature rustic accents like darker reclaimed wood, deep greens, blues, and browns, brass accents, and antique pieces. Modern farmhouse aesthetics, on the other hand, often showcase more subtle and neutral color palettes, softer accents, and clean lines. However, the categories aren't rigid. Under these are subcategories like coastal farmhouse (think shiplap, beige sheepskin rugs, and light wood), French farmhouse (plaster walls, wooden beams, and floral or botanical decor), and industrial farmhouse (a warm color palette mixed with black, steel accents and thick, heavy rustic woods). Like many home design styles, there's enough flexibility for everyone to blend the bits they love together to make an aesthetic they love.
