Interior design decor to use in a home. — Interior design decor to use in your home. Design via Style Turner

It's true what they say: The environment you’re in has an impact on every aspect of your life.

An orderly, well-curated home can trigger creativity, productivity, and emotional stability—things we all need now more than ever.

Similar to the way you select various clothing items to create a compelling outfit, your interiors should reflect this same level of discernment and personalization.

Surrounding yourself with inspiring, deeply personal objects is a way of claiming ownership of your space. Just as style reflects who you are, your living quarters can further exemplify your deeply held beliefs and distinctive point of view.

When you begin to pay closer attention to the design elements in your wardrobe, you start to consider ways in which to enhance other parts of your life.

I call it the Style Halo Effect.

When you learn how to identify and refine your life through the lens of style, it triggers a ripple effect.

This effect can lead to a holistic shift to a more beautiful, inspiring, and abundant life.

If you’re looking to live a stylish life beyond the confines of your closet, here are 10 pieces to transform your lifeless bachelor pad into an intentional home.

The Cure for Bare Walls: Graphic Design Posters by Drool

Pair of graphic design posters — Via Drool

When entering someone’s space—a friend, a lover, etc.—there’s nothing less inviting than bare walls.

Art is to a home as accessories are to an outfit. Without either, your look is dull and lacks individuality.

Sure, dropping mad money on an original piece from a local artist may not be on the top of your list of priorities. Still, with the abundance of affordable art websites, there’s never been a better—or easier—time to support emerging artists without draining your retirement fund.

I’ve always been a huge fan of graphic design and love the curation from Drool.

Museum-quality prints for under $100? Yes, please!

Your New Go-To Cup: Beams Japanese Teacups

I have a weird obsession with collecting Japanese porcelain and ceramic teacups.

There’s something about the size, shape, coloring, and general simplicity that makes them so enjoyable to touch and hold.

The handle-less design and aesthetically pleasing motif means they can be of use in so many different ways beyond their intended purpose; besides coffee, I use mine as pen holders, planters, and jewelry catch-alls. Practical, versatile, AND beautiful—what’s not to love?

This option from Beams reminds me of a kitschy branded coffee mug you’d find at your local thrift store yet feels decidedly more sophisticated.

How To Make Your Place Smell Like A Fancy Hotel: Shop Room Spray by Deciem

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to enter a Deciem store (beloved Canadian skincare brand), you know how incredible it smells.

It smells something like a fancy hotel meets luxury department store. It smells EXPENSIVE, and I like that.

Whether your space needs a little refresh before movie night or a quick de-stank before a late-night encounter, this masculine room spray is the perfect way to revive the stalest of rooms.

Top Notes: Black Pepper and Cypress Oil

Middle Notes: Iso E Super and Chalk

Base Notes: Guaiacwood, Sequoia, Cedar, Labdanum Resin, White Amber Crystals, White Musk, and Patchouli

Make A Small Space Feel Huge: Umbra Hubb Mirror

Is your home or apartment feeling small and drab? Add a mirror!

Seriously, mirrors are a crucial element for any small (or big) interior.

They create an illusion of light and expansion, two things you want in a living space.

I have two of these bad boys from Umbra (one in grey and one in hunter green) and love the way they’re able to stand alone as a statement and adapt to my ever-changing design taste.

Also, can you think of a better selfie mirror? I’ll wait...

A Coffee Table Book to Admire and Inspire: Peter Beard

Peter Beard coffee table book — Via Taschen

Famed artist, diarist, and photographer, Peter Beard is legendary for his storied life ranging from documenting the everchanging African landscape to the glistening excess of 70s nightlife culture.

This beautifully curated book is a collection of Beard’s illustrious career that spanned nearly a century.

Whether you’re in it for the art or his model good-looks—and equally impressive style—this beautiful book will be a fixture on your coffee table for years to come.

Turner’s Pick: Peter Beard Book

The Very Good Light, Light: Menu JWDA Lamp

Good lighting can make or break the vibe of a space.

Owning a few different lights that don’t scream “IKEA 2010” is an easy way to elevate your space without needing a bunch of useless tchotchkes.

I love the JWDA lamp from Menu. It’s simple, super elegant, and, best of all, dimmable; wherever I put it in my apartment, it imbues the space in a lovely golden aura.

Turner’s Pick: Menu JWDA Lamp

A Plant That’s Impossible to Kill: Golden Pothos

Pothos plant in white planter — Via 36Vine

Trust me when I say that these types of plants are nearly indestructible. They essentially thrive in times of neglect. Strange, huh?

Besides their obvious beauty, Pothos are beneficial to your health; they purify toxins from the air, including formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide, while also helping eliminate odors.

It’s like having a tiny maid who cleans your surroundings while you go about your life.

Their lovely heart-shaped leaves and sprawling, trailing vines make for an attractive, low-maintenance addition to any space.

Did I mention that they’re incredibly cheap too?

The WFH Desk Upgrade: IKEA Rissla Desk Pad

For many of us lucky enough to work from home, having a functional and beautiful workspace is vital for optimal productivity.

A smooth, tactile surface to define your command station provides the right amount of visual structure and organization without feeling cluttered.

This inexpensive yet decidedly luxe desk pad from IKEA is the perfect upgrade for any desk setup.

Unlike other desk pads that can shift when in use, this one features a bent front edge designed to keep it in place—genius!

Even better, it’s stain proof and scratch-resistant, looking at you cat people.

A Blanket So Cozy You’ll Wonder How You’ve Lived Without It: Wool Blanket El Rey by Nordic Knots

Red and white modern rug — Via Nordic Knots

Growing up and into adulthood, I never used blankets as a source of warmth and comfort.

Now, within the past few years, I’ve unintentionally acquired several blankets and now can’t live without them.

Seriously—if I’m sitting down, I have a blanket on my lap. I’ve fully transformed into an elderly person, and I’m never looking back.

This wool beauty from Nordic Knots was designed for the boutique hotel El Rey Court in New Mexico.

Its modern, minimal design will elevate any bachelor pad and add a luxe touch without feeling stuffy.

Did I mention it’s massive and perfect for two?

Pourover Coffee for Your Inner Design Snob: Target Glass & Wood Pourover

Glass and wood pourover coffee maker — Via Target

I’m all about elevating menial everyday tasks; my morning coffee is no exception.

This lovely little coffee pourover is the perfect example of utilitarian functionality that meets aesthetically pleasing design.

Not only does it make a mean cup of coffee but looks beautiful when displayed on the kitchen counter.

Simply add a filter (size #2), coffee, and hot water. Boom, you’re ready to tackle the day ahead.
