Before the sun sets on the season of Summer... I'm excited to now finally release and share with you all the debut of my 2020 Summer Home Video. In my Summer Home Tour from behind the camera lens, I'm sharing all of the beautiful decorative details, textures, colors, prints and patterns I've staged and styled in my home (in the main living area, my most popular room) during this quarantine season. Most of what you'll see in the video was shared in photo stills from my Summer blogpost released early last month. In the event that you missed it, click the link below... https://www.alluredbydesign.com/post/summer-styling-with-ginger-jars In addition to all of the beautiful photo stills, I wanted to present and produce for you all an accompanying video to further tell and share my design story. Of course, all with the intent to inspire. While it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words...a moving video tends to bring one even closer to the action. And, indeed, this is the closest way I can invite you all into my home, House Piazza.
 I hope you all enjoy and I hope you all are both allured and inspired.

During the warmer seasons of both Spring and Summer, I love to give my home a quick refresh or an updated look. A refresh to one's home doesn't necessarily have to break the bank. It can be as simple as adding either fresh or faux florals to your home, changing up your design vignettes with a new vase or two, updating your coffee table styling with seasonal accents, putting out new candles and of course updating your toss pillows always freshens up the look of any space. In my latest video, which I'm so excited to finally share with you all...I do all of the above to give my home, which you all know as #HousePiazza that Summertime refreshing feeling. And, I do all of this without breaking the bank. Some items in this video are sponsored by V Home & Interiors, while others are accents I used simply by shopping my own home.

Whether you've been following my blog since day one or for a short while, you'd know or should have a general idea of my love for styling with books. My absolute favorite genres I love to style and stage in my home are high-end fashion books, interior design and home decor books, and without a doubt...cultural, historic New Orleans books because I'm always repping for my hometown. For a Designer such as myself, a book serves multiple purposes including being educational and informative... IT CAN BE READ IT CAN BE STAGED IT CAN BE STYLED But speaking from an aesthetic perspective...book covers also introduce that added pop of color as well as texture, print and pattern to your interior. In addition, beautiful and well designed book covers can also add elegance and refinement to a space. And, there are no limits on how one can choose to style with them. Whether you're going for a monochromatic look by carefully curating and selecting stylish books that are of the same tone and colors of the interior of your space. Or, if you're more like me curating your home with a wide variety of books of varying topics, colors, textures, prints, patterns, and themes all with the purpose to create or bring contrast, interest and drama to your space.  In my latest video, which I'm super excited to share with you all...I'm showing creative ways of how styling just one furniture piece alone with a variety of different books refreshes and updates the vignette. And, your styling books of choice can either be contemporary, modern, antique, vintage, high-end, or luxury in style. Also, take note that you don't always have to change out every single accent or decorative piece atop of your furniture surfaces. Because sometimes, just changing out or displaying a different book is the only design touch that's needed. I hope you all enjoy and I hope you all are both allured and inspired.  Tachic Hickman-Piazza Founder & Principal Designer https://www.alluredbydesign.com -------------------------------------------- CREATIVE CREDITS: Interior Design & Styling: Allured By Design, LLC Executive Produced By: Tachic Hickman-Piazza Videography & Editing: Black Dragon Imagery Location: House Piazza

As we wind down our last four weeks of Summer, I know many of you are already beginning to prep your homes for the Fall Season. However, here in New Orleans and in my home #HousePiazza in particular, I'm still enjoying all of the Summer sun and air. In addition, this record breaking heat has been so fierce this season, I'm committed to not introducing a seasonal transition into my home until the weather gets cooler. So in the meantime, I'm back to share another video with you all focusing on coffee table styling during the Summer season. My latest video is indeed part of, or rather a continuation of my..."Summer Styling Series." Within the video (set at the dusk hour of the day, where the blazing sun is now beginning to slowly fade, creating more of a moody Summer lighting vibe) you'll see a variety of set-ups and different changes to my coffee table styling from one transition to the next. I do this mainly to share all of the different ways you can change up the look of your coffee table, simply by switching up your decor. Be it with books, trays, bowls, candles, candle holders, vases, etc...Or, even items that are most precious to you whether aged and vintage or modern accents.
