Block wall shelves from West Elm are a good way to highlight small home décor accents in your house. A neat feature is that these shelves are thicker than normal wall shelving which creates a different look altogether. I further like the fact that they can be arranged in many different patterns according to your own tastes. Pictured here in chocolate, block wall shelves also come in white, coco wood, and acorn colors. Constructed of hardwoods, these shelves measure 6"l x 5"d x 5"h. Price: $44-$54. Available: here.
As we said in a previous post shag rugs are back and this time they look really good. Another thing that is really hot right now is eco-friendly products and the Anji Mountain Rug Company has combined the two in a lush modern product. Bamboo fibers are used to make the 84" x 120" area rugs that are backed with cotton canvas and topped with an 80% bamboo, 20% cotton blend that is naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic. The combination of fibers creates a luminous sheen like chenille, and are soft like cashmere, and each shaggy strand is 1.5" long which feels really good on bare feet. Available in Chocolate Brown, Creamy Ivory, Black, Beige, and Crimson Red. $799 Ships in 1-2 Weeks Get It Here
