July 11, 2022 â In case a wall refresh is in your future, we think Backdropâs newest coverings are the perfect way to add some interest to your interiors. Designed in Los Angeles and digitally printed in Brooklyn, these five new prints have a bespoke feel to give new life your walls. Even though you wonât go wrong with the on-trend Gambit checkerboard print or flowery Superbloom, we like the look of Reptiliaâs cheeky embroidered crocs.
July 12, 2022 â When we visited Ashley Tisdaleâs Los Angeles home back in March, we couldnât get enough of her laid-back and California-cool aesthetic. And if youâre looking to curate a relaxed vibe in your own space, the actorâs new wellness lineâBeing Frensheâhas everything you need. From fresh candles to soothing bath essentials and luxurious body treatments, itâs easy to want everything. But if youâre being choose-y, weâd opt for this citrus hair, body, and linen mist to have any room smelling like fresh lemons.
July 12, 2022 â Keeping all your fave canned drinks ice cold through the rest of summer heat waves is easy with the newest must-have from YETI. Earlier this month, the brand released its ultra-durable and fan-favorite cooler in a convenient wheeled design that includes a sturdy telescopic handle to bring beverages to and fro without having to shoulder the load. Cheers to that!
July 12, 2022 â Earlier this month, Jonathan Adler and Ruggable unveiled a second collection of very chic rugs and door mats to spice up your floor plan. Available in adaptable rectangular, round, and runner designs, these spill- and stain-proof mats are especially ideal for high traffic home areas. Our favorite? This psychedelic rainbow waterfall pattern thatâs available in a bold multicolor colorway or a monochromatic palette of blues.
July 15, 2022 â In celebration of Haandâs ten year anniversary, the stylish ceramics brand has released its popular ripple collection in two new collectable colorways: turmeric and vespertine. Translated into a warm speckled yellow inspired by the vibrant spice and an abyss-like deep blue with green detailing, consider the dishware for your next dinner party sorted.
July 15, 2022 â Hereâs something sweet: Clever-approved candle brand Nette launched a delectable 100% raw honey to complement its best-selling Queen scent in July. Inspired by the original fragranceâs notes of honey, hay, and wildflowers, each batch of honey is harvested in New York City by a certified master beekeeper and member of Certified Naturally Grown, an organization that promotes sustainable and ethical agricultural practices. To sweeten the pot even more, a portion of proceeds from honey and candle sets will go to select pollinator charities.
July 16, 2022 â Since summerâs in full bloom, the newest collab from Friends NYC and Stems BK is just the thing to take you from beach days to morning farmers market strolls. If this adorable flower doodle-emblazoned canvas tote and matching dad cap arenât enough to sway you, know that 5% of all sales from this collaboration will be donated to Bk Rot, a community-powered and fossil-free waste and compost hauling service. And for all the hardcore green thumbs, know that all the hang tags are seeded, meaning youâll be able to plant them and grow some wildflowers of your own.
July 18, 2022 â Itâs easy to see why Thumaâs frame is consistently one of the most popular items purchased by Clever readersânot only is it effortlessly stylish, but itâs also an ideal purchase for anyone looking for a long-lasting frame thatâs easy to move with. And if you want to test the frameâs âquiet, easy-to-put-together setupâ (according to our digital design writer ZoĂŤ Sessums), weâre happy to report that the brand just released the bestseller in a handsome shade of dark brown espresso wood stain.
July 19, 2022 â We think Macyâs newest collab with Monique Greenwoodâs iconic Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns is just the thing to make your home feel like a luxe getaway. And although the collection is full of earthy-toned bedding, tableware, decor, and more to rejuvenate your space, these faux leather quilted pillows are a modern way to dress up any couch or a simple bedspread.
July 19, 2022 â If a bouquet that will stay fresh through the summer (and beyond!) sounds too good to be true, allow us be the first to introduce you to Venus et Fleurâs long-lasting stems. This month, the brand launched eternity bouquets featuring ââbrand new calla lilies surrounded by roses, dianthus, and hydrangeas. So, whether youâre in the mood for a seasonal splurge or looking to treat your summer love to an arrangement, look to Venus!
July 20, 2022 â Looking to spice things up at the summer function? We recommend gifting your host the latest from Ghia to bring the party in a healthy way. Last week, the brand added a new elixir to their refreshing lineup: Lime & Salt. Concocted to taste âcrisp and salty like a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean,â the deliciously bitter aperitivo is spritzed with fresh lime and a dash of sea salt for a perfect summery sip.
July 21, 2022 â Sparks are flying over at Flora Nero. The recently launched brand just released its first collection of high-design smoke-ware. Inspired by the space race era and the emerging jet set, each itemâlike this sleek matte lighterâmimics shapes and silhouettes reminiscent of 1950s UFO imagery for a truly out-of-this-world feel.
July 21, 2022 â Just in time for your next home office refresh, the Afternoon Light x Emeco Navy Officerâs Chair is the bright spot your 9â5 have been missing. Reimagined in a powder coated green with a reissued âMexidotâ pattern upholstery by Alexander Girard, this adorable seat made from recycled fiber is giving us serious WFH envy.
July 22, 2022 â If youâre in the market for a full personal care overhaul, we love everything this Made for Muji by Public Goods collection is giving. Sharing an ethos surrounding brand simplicity and sustainability, the natural collaboration between Muji and Public Goods includes everything youâll need to bring minimal elegance to your washroom rituals: shampoo, body wash, and even toilet paper.
July 27, 2022 â Since everyone should have a little greenery in their home, design-friendly AC brand July is here to deliver a touch of indoor nature in a very functional way. Earlier this week, the brand unveiled a limited-edition moss-covered front panel for its enviable air conditioning units. Made with preserved and live moss (thatâs even friendly to serial plant killers), we consider this the ideal accessory to keep your home looking and feeling cool this summer.
July 29, 2022 â Relive your favorite sun-drenched summer memories all year with the latest fragrance from Snif. With notes of neroli, tuberose, rum, cedarwood, and amber, Snifâs Ditch Plains is a getaway in and of itself. Inspired and named after the buzzing Montauk, New York, beach, we think the scent will remind you of days in the Hamptons even after youâve closed the vacation house.
