Last week I created a Follow Friday series on my Instagram stories where I highlighted five accounts that I currently find inspiring! Isn’t it fun to discover new accounts to spice up your feed? Don’t worry, if you missed it you can catch up & view on my story highlights! Within the roundup, I included a new-to-me account called Maine House Interiors founded by Australian interior designer Amy Spargo.

It’s no surprise that I’m a huge fan of how Amy incorporates blue and white throughout many of the spaces she designs. I particularly loved this preppy and colorful entry way vignette photographed above! Doesn’t it look like a space that belongs in a Palm Beach house or hotel?!

My favorite element in the design has to be the pair of custom ottomans featuring a Tigger Hall fabric. If you love adding custom elements to your home, I highly recommend taking a peek at Etsy shop Liven Up Design! They can easily re-create these ottomans for you either using fabric they have in-house or with a fabric you ship directly to them!

I re-created the look below with a more muted palette but still using blue and white as the main color combination. I found a similar wallpaper as the one photographed above on Wayfair called “Floral Teahouse” wallpaper but I personally loved this blue and white botanical wallpaper a little more (also from Wayfair!). This classic white mirror would pair nicely with just about any entryway table or console. And I love how this table lamp easily compliments the wallpaper. Plus, it’s only $113 dollars!

Last but not least, if you’re in the market for natural fiber rugs, be sure to take a look at Pottery Barn’s selection! They have a wide variety to choose from + many are on sale at the moment. The rug I included in the roundup is the Clayton Natural Fiber Rug.

6 Preppy Bedrooms I Can Totally Get Onboard With
4

Similar to how I feel about my personal style, I’ve noticed that over the past few years that my design style is also ever-evolving. I don’t know if it’s living on the East Coast that has dramatically swayed my opinion (or finally realizing my mom has been right about navy and white all these years) but it’s safe to say I’m inspired by east coast charm, preppy emblems, blue hues, crisp linens, and 1960’s West Palm Beach.

A few examples:

While I was browsing Pinterest the other day, I noticed myself pinning bedrooms that perfectly fall within my preferred categories (you can take a peek at my Design Eye Candy Board here). So with that, today I bring you 6 Preppy Bedrooms I can Totally Get On Board With!

Did you know Lily Pulitzer created a bedding collection for Garnet Hill? I’m really quite obsessed with the options available, particularly the Let’s Cha Cha and Hotty Pink– at least this collection won’t sell out in 24 hours!

I love the feel of this bedroom. The crisp white linens looks so inviting and I love the scalloped detailing. The palm tree print curtains provide a dose of that West Palm Beach vibe.

What I love most about this bedroom is the silhouette and pattern of the headboard mixed with the floral and white duvet. This is mix and match perfection.

Now THIS bedroom screams West Palm Beach to me. The print on the headboard mixed with the pink accents is on point.

I’ve seen this room circulate on Pinterest for a couple of years now. The stripes on the wall mixed with the vintage mirror and sconces make for an inviting bedroom.

Last but not least, this is my definition of an effortless preppy bedroom. One can never go wrong with a navy and white monogram pillow. You know what I mean?
