As 2023 comes to a close, I thought it would be fun to take a look at The Inspired Room readers’ favorite decor items from the past year. I was able to decorate my own house a little over the last few months once the renovations were done, but I’m really excited to decorate more (less construction haha) in 2024.
As the creator of The Inspired Room (for the past 17 years!), I love helping readers decorate their homes by sharing affordable, timeless, and stylish decor pieces. I’m always excited to receive messages from people who bought and loved something I recommended. I primarily share items I have in my own home, but I also carefully select pieces that I would feel comfortable purchasing if I had a place for them.
Here are YOUR favorites for 2023 (and mine too!).
This jute and cotton rug – I bought this in 2023 and I love it! It’s super soft, doesn’t shed, and comes in various colors. I shared questions and answers about the rug with a close-up photo in this post. We also use THIS rug with that. It makes it even softer and helps keep it in place.
Checkered chair – I have these chairs in checkered and striped (2 striped on top and one checked on the bottom). They come in several colors and have been great chairs for our small spaces. I sit in the checkered one every day by the fire and it’s nice and cozy!
Ocean/gold printed rug – We have this in our dining room, you can see photos in our house here.
Printed Cork Backed Placemats – I shared about these recently and received several messages from TIR readers who love them too! They are super sturdy (cork back), great quality, and had wonderful reviews. I can say that they will last a long time. I keep them in a basket on a shelf on our island so they’re easy to grab when we need them! I love the pattern and the colors.
Reversible blanket. – Everyone who receives them LOVES them! They are lightweight, machine washable, super soft and come in various patterns and colors, you can check them out. here. See more details and photos of these blankets in my house in this post.
