Erin and Ben's family home in Laurel is full of vintage inspiration and cozy details. Although it has a similar vibe to their "Home Town" renovations, Erin used specific cinematic references to achieve her dream interior. Their cozy kitchen renovation was all about adding early 20th-century details. Ben pointed out a key element in their Tamron Hall Show interview, saying, "Those beams in the kitchen, the ceiling beams, they didn't exist in the kitchen but they existed everywhere else in the house. And inside the barn, when we bought the house, was wood leftover from when they built the house. So, it's the same wood they used for the other beams, just 100 years later." Erin explained her visual inspiration for the space, saying, "The kitchen downstairs, in Downtown Abbey...I watched it. I studied photos of it to try to get the exact color that's on the cabinetry in the kitchen in Downtown Abbey."

There are a few key elements that you can borrow from Erin and Ben. The pops of exposed wood are a great way to give your kitchen an earthy, timeless touch. The "Home Town" stars proved that these trim features can change the entire feel of your home. All you need to do is expose any natural wood trim that you may already have around your doors, windows, and baseboards. If you want to strip the paint off your existing wood trim, use a product like Citristrip Stripping Gel. Always use proper protection and follow the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the stripper, you can gently scrape away the paint and then lightly sand down the surface. Finish with the stain of your choice. Then, try contrasting the wood with a golden cream paint color on your cabinets, just like Erin's Downtown Abbey-inspired choice.

Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent's Greenwich Village home was actually their previous residence from 2013 to 2016. They moved away to live on the West Coast for some time. However, when their family grew, they decided to go back and purchase their former home and make it their own with tons of texture and European flair. Noting that their style has changed over the years, this dynamic duo didn't shy away from a bold, moody backdrop in their master bedroom and installed mural-style wallpaper to make it feel like a forest. In their Architectural Digest tour, Jeremiah said, "I think this is a perfect example of how much we have evolved as a couple, especially aesthetically." Nate added, "To live in the city and open your eyes first thing in the morning and just sort of be in this moody, cool forest, feels really right."

If you're wondering how to make wallpaper work in your space without your home looking dated, these designers have several tips. Jeremiah explained, "The wallpaper reads probably traditional to most people, but we've juxtaposed that with a lot of contemporary lighting, some contemporary furniture, there's a really great Swedish chair from the '30s that's in this great shearling that we love." Modern light fixtures and minimalist, Scandinavian pieces can keep your space looking fresh and not too traditional. If you're looking for a similar vibe, this 360 Lighting Orbital Mid-Century Modern Desk Lamp has the same silhouette as the tabletop lamp on Nate and Jeremiah's bedside table. And this Softhion Swivel Accent Chair has a boucle finish that matches their beloved Swedish piece.

Jillian Harris has a bright, beachy home in West Kelowna, British Columbia, and she's constantly reinventing the cozy, cottage-style space. Last fall, she decided to revamp her living room by swapping out a few key pieces and adding tons of texture. She explained her targeted approach on Instagram: "We worked with @birchlane to source some new pieces for the living room, the stars of the show being these GORGEOUS Walters Upholstered Armchairs!! This fabric is called the Davis Pearl Performance Boucle and it's very durable which is important to us. These chairs are made to order and are available in SO many different fabrics, colours and prints. I also chose this beautiful, high-quality rug which I'm super excited about, plus some other accessories to complete the space!"

Similar to Nate and Jeremiah's shearling pick, the boucle fabric on Harris' armchairs is a key addition to the space. There's a reason why this texture has had a major comeback over the past few years. If you're wondering whether boucle furniture is going out of style, the answer is simple — if you love it, go for it! Because of the ivory color and timeless texture, a boucle accent piece will never look out of place. If you don't want to splurge on brand-new furniture, consider getting your current pieces reupholstered. Keep in mind, there are a few things you need to consider before reupholstering vintage furniture as older pieces can be trickier than mass-produced pieces. When in doubt, take your furniture to a reputable upholstery and furniture repair shop.

Emily Henderson lives in an Oregon farmhouse built in the early 1900s. She describes her space as Scandinavian-inspired with some traditional touches, including the spa-like master bathroom she designed for herself and her husband. On her YouTube channel, she credited the windows as the key addition to the space, saying, "When you have that much natural light you actually don't have to decorate a space nearly as much, because the light is, like, the light is the vibe." 

In an effort to mix both classic and contemporary decor, she opted for timeless brass fixtures. Henderson explained, "The last little element of my formula, which is gold or brass. We worked with Rejuvenation, as we did with the rest of the house. They're beautiful finishes and everything just turned out so pretty. So, what we chose in both plumbing and lighting are more old-world feel and look. And, you know, this is an older house. I still wanted modern amenities. But, I did want the vibe of like, 'Oh this is kind of traditional, it could have been here for a long time.'"

If you're considering adding a window to your bathroom, there are several pros and cons. The number one pro is obvious — you get more light! Plus, more ventilation is ideal for preventing humidity problems. However, you may have to acquire building permits, and whenever you add a new opening, it can affect the structural integrity of your home. If adding a window isn't within your scope, try Henderson's concept of brightening your space with gold and brass fixtures. This GGStudy Bathroom Faucet has a similar, vintage-inspired look.

Leanne Ford is known for her bright, minimalistic approach to design, and her own home in Pittsburgh is no exception. Her living room was designed with a mostly all-white color palette, save for a few wood and metallic details. She told House Beautiful, "I loved this room. It was carpeted and the brick was dark, but I saw the potential. So, we painted all of the brick white, which I love, love white brick. This is such a massive room, so how we handled it is...just go with it! Two big sofas on either side. Two coffee tables, two chairs. I love these big huge doors. Open it up and kinda live inside/outside."

Painting brick has become a controversial design decision for several reasons. Most notably, you can't really backtrack once you've chosen to paint over it as sandblasting it can damage the integrity of the bricks. One less drastic alternative is to limewash your brick rather than paint over it completely. This gives it a more subtle look while still allowing the original surface to shine. If you still want to try Leanne Ford's light and bright look, make sure to use the right technique for painting brick walls. Either way, finish an airy space with a live-edge table like this Nalvyue Natural Wood Coffee Table juxtaposed with a piece like the Keonjinn Vintage Gold Mirror for a glam touch.

Jonathan Scott shares a sunny Los Angeles home with his partner, actress Zooey Deschanel. She's known for her quirky, colorful style, which balances his more modern approach to design. Scott made an unconventional choice to close in his patio and turn it into an oversized solarium. This quickly became the centerpiece and primary entertaining space of the entire home. He told viewers on his YouTube channel, "What usually drops people's jaws when they walk in here is the roof. We have an entire glass roof, Global Solariums put that in for us and the process was incredible because I wanted us to be able to use this whether it was raining, whether it was sunshine, day or night, keep the bugs out, but keep it really, really beautiful."

While a solarium of that scale may not be in everyone's budget, you can definitely take inspiration from Scott's sunny space. Consider enclosing your patio for a sunroom that can be used all year long. If you feel like your home is a bit small for your lifestyle, an enclosed porch or winter garden can add an additional room. This space can be used as an office, yoga room, craft space, or almost al-fresco dining area. If a glass enclosure is still out of reach, a screened-in patio is a more affordable option that can still enhance your home value. When it comes to furnishing your indoor-outdoor space, take a cue from Scott and embrace the universal appeal of olive trees. These Mediterranean beauties can add a sculptural element to your home as well as a pop of sage green.

As the queen of timeless sophistication, it's no wonder that Hilary Farr designed a chic space with welcoming details in her home located in Raleigh, North Carolina. For her dining space, Hilary Farr wanted to create a cozy, communal area with lots of natural details. The main statement piece is the reclaimed wood table. Farr wrote on Instagram, "The Heartbeat of my home is The Dining Room. Friends and Family enjoying fabulous food, great conversation, and loads of laughter and love, gathered around my beautiful table by David owner of @duvallandco. When I fell in love with this table, made of reclaimed wood, I knew it would be the anchor for everything else in the room."

Hilary Farr's dining space is attainable with a few key furniture pieces. For wall decor, consider the Haus and Hues Set of 3 Abstract Wall Art for a similar appearance. You can source a reclaimed wood dining table from a thrift store or a secondhand source like Facebook Marketplace. This vidaXL Industrial-Style Dining Table is available on Amazon and made of solid reclaimed wood, and if you're searching for similar dining chairs, these E&D Furniture Dining Chairs are a budget-friendly option. If you're curious about the rest of her space, you can also steal the look of Hilary Farr's stunning living room.

Located in Snohomish Washington, Lyndsay Lamb has a Northwestern, earthy home with eclectic details. She decided to explore daring decor in her half-bathroom, including a fully tiled wall and an accent wall with moody wallpaper. She explained to HGTV, "Alright, so our guest bathroom...this is it. I did put a little bit of effort into this because I think it's important to have a cute half-bath when your guests come over." Although she made the room smaller by stealing some space for her primary bathroom, the adorable design details distract from the smaller footprint.

There are many reasons you may want to add wallpaper to your bathroom. Your guest bathroom is a great place to try bold wall coverings, as you can easily get away with daring decor in smaller spaces. The only technical consideration is whether your bathroom has enough ventilation. Wallpaper can experience issues if it is exposed to lots of humidity. However, this makes it even more suitable for powder rooms where showering doesn't take place. If you do have a shower in your guest bath and you still want to experiment with wallpaper, you can use vinyl wallpaper that is designed to be water-resistant. This Xruibzi Dark Floral Wallpaper is a waterproof option with a dramatic pattern similar to Lamb's selection.
