Style doesn't necessarily mean big exposure. Sometimes I just want to refresh myself. At times like these, we want to create micro-moments. It's a small area of the house that you can update in an afternoon using the decor you already have. The trick is to think not only about how the space looks, but also about how it feels, sounds, and smells. That transforms the aesthetic into something you can live comfortably within.
Charlie Penn, Executive Lifestyle Director at Apartment Therapy, has found the perfect place for this approach in his home. It's coffee he table. This is the perfect canvas to play with with one of this season's most fun trends: a soft, curvaceous look called makeup waves. With some well-chosen accents, she was able to revive the atmosphere of her entire living room in about an hour. To bring this vibe to life, she also added her signature scent, Her Glade® PlugIns® Max Control™ in Aqua Her Wave, which gives the fresh scent of island flowers, salt air, and sea breeze. Here's how she styled her new look.
start with shapes
Make Waves features soft lines. Rounded corners, scalloped edges, and clamshell shapes embody this trend. Charlie started with a circular coffee table and added a tray with wavy cutouts and a decorative bowl with gorgeous folded curves. The overall effect is carefree and romantic, like a quiet afternoon spent watching the tide rise. “I love this wavy style because it's inspired by the ocean, with organic shapes, wavy edges, and uplifting blues and greens,” says Charlie .
layer fragrance
To set the aromatic mood, Charli selected Aqua Waves' new Glade® PlugIns® with MaxControl™. A relaxing blend of island flowers, sea breezes, and ocean breezes perfectly complement her décor tweaks. Plus, with her 5 adjustable settings on the new Her Glade® PlugIns® with MaxControl™, Charli can enjoy a long-lasting, consistent and customizable scent. Since her living room is on the smaller side, this allows Charlie to keep the intensity of her scent appropriate for her own space.
texture time
The final piece of the puzzle to refreshing your style is to think in terms of tactility. From luxurious fabrics to mixed metallics, considering both visual and physical textures will make your new look pop. Charlie's Jute His Rug is a great example. Wavy edges reflect her shapely decor, natural materials add a rustic element, and warm neutral colors are reminiscent of a sandy beach. “It's the perfect neutral canvas for styling, and I love the scalloped edges for added softness,” says Charlie. The ribbed glass water bottle and rough bowl both feel nice to the touch, and the coffee table's delicate plaster finish adds an elegant charm.
Try the new Glade® PlugIns® with MaxControl™ and instantly give your space a whole new feel.
