#and Suki in shades of green!!!!

[cathnospam]

Deku watched you and Bakugo fucking and haven’t looked at you both the same way since.

Deku KNOWS what sex is, he knows after years of being with other sexually active people and living with other women he has been sexually attracted to, and eventually hormones were bound to take place in everybody in class 3-a and it would be another added topic of discussion after high school graduation.

HE even lost his virginity to Ochako not too long ago.

It was different seeing you both though.

Neither you or Bakugo through out the years seemed interested in anybody, any man that flirted with you, you either brushed them off or completely ignored and Bakugo, despite how pretty he CAN look his attitude usually scare women away, and whether he acknowledges it or not he can be pretty dense so everybody concluded you both aren’t into the dating scene.

It seemed so normal between you both until last night.

When he seen Bakugo in between your thighs.

HE DIDNT MEAN TO WATCH HE SWEARS, but he went to look for his notebook he left in your dorm after a study session and heard your door unlock with Bakugo’s loud mouth ass grumbling for you to hurry up.

Out of panic he fled to your closet and hid there, he doesn’t know why he did, he wasn’t snooping or doing anything wrong, plus bakugo and you trust him enough to freely walk into their dorms, but too late he’s stuck now.

“You’re so needy. And stop poking me with that thing—ah-“

“Mmhm. Shut up.” Bakugo grumbles into your neck, from behind, practically pushing you inside with each thrust of his dick. “Y’pissed me off today.”

“Don’t I always—-AAAOWW—MMHPH!”

Your smart remarks get muffled with a harsh hot smack to the ass and a kiss, it definitely sounded like it hurt to Deku, but he watched in shock seeing him caress your ass under your skirt.

His green eyes grew twice its size, Bakugo had lifted off your shirt, and began his attack on your neck and cheek while he undid his belt with one hand, “Fuck you smell good.”

Throwing off his black tank top and laying you on the bed, “You taste even better though.”

The mixed sounds of your giggles and moans as his lips puncture your skin from your neck down to your tits to suckle on made Deku reluctantly twist his legs,

He was getting hard.

He never viewed you in this way, yes, you were a beautiful woman, but after knowing you since middle school his crushes towards you have came and gone eventually developing into a brother and sister relationship.

….but it may change now.

“Oh ‘Suki~” You sigh softly, tilting your head to the side to get a good look at your nasty Blondie. His nose resting atop of your pussy as his lips were wrapped around your tiny clit, you felt the ministration of the back and forth suckles which made your jaw slack.

Deku looked away reluctantly, covering his eyes feeling some guilt. This was a private matter between you both, even if it was a shock he still felt like he was intruding. And boy he tried.

He tried so hard to just keep his eyes closed until you both were finished, but the noises you made not only drove Bakugo insane , but him as well.

“Mmhm.” Katsuki groaned in content inside you, hearing your voice get higher and your breaths get more ragged he knew you were close ,”Mmhm that’s it. That’s it baby c’mon—“

“BABY?!”

Deku thought this was insane to hear, never have he EVER heard Mr. Hardass to ever speak…so sweetly to you?

His big green eyes peaked through the closet door shades , covering his mouth as he almost gasped seeing Bakugo press your thighs back to eat you further, “Fuck…”

Bakugo couldn’t ignore his hard on for long.

And neither could Deku.

“I love your moutthhhhh.” You half moaned half giggled feeling yourself grow closer while your back was arching. Bakugo’s pride always was sky high when he fucked you. And somehow you saying that made Deku….jealous? Just a little, but he couldn’t focus on that too long.

You looked so sexy when you’re cumming, your little cute fingers playing with your nipples. The way you hips buck into Bakugo’s mouth, how soft and whiney your voice gets when you’re crying his name.

Next thing you know Deku’s hands were palming his growing errection.

Nononono he can’t. He can’t get off to his best friends, it’s ….dirty. Bakugo would kill him and you might feel disgusted with him.

But Deku’s mind wasn’t in tandem with his body because his hand was already inside his pants.

“Ssssshit girl I didn’t tell you—-“

“Don’t care.” You words muffled as you lay on your stomach between his thighs, capturing his tip between your lips to suck on . You giggle and moan when you feel a warm hand slap against your ass.

The way how you nearly could take him all in was such a turn on to Deku. You’re the same girl that was just choking on a noodle earlier today at lunch, but now you’re taking in Bakugo’s dick like a champ.

“Fuck…” Deku couldn’t help it his fingers teased his own tip, precum already enough to lube his shaft while he matches the pace of your bobbing head.

Your boyfriend began to massage your ass a little, groaning your name in frustration because he was already so close to cumming, “You and that fucking tongue…”

The green haired boy was also close, watching you made him wish it was him instead of his own best friend you were sucking off.

How many times have you done this with him? Was it yesterday when you both left class? Was it those times you both went to bed early? Deku kept rethinking all those times you both were alone and it was nearly too much he almost took away his own orgasm, so he pumped his dick faster to the view of Bakugo’s fingers slipping inside your soaked cunt.

Who would’ve thought he’d be spending his evening cumming with his best friends.

You and Bakugo were spent. It wasn’t unusual, being pro hero’s in training a night of just oral would sometimes just be enough.

That wasn’t enough for Deku though he thought,

“No no no don’t go to sleep!”

He watched as you and your boyfriend cuddled on top of the covers, breathing still heavy, his big hands grabbed your chin so you can turn and face him to taste yourself on his tongue.

“‘Suki…” you breathed feeling him lift your thigh over his legs, he didn’t even have to move that much to already feel his dick press against your clit.

“Sssh sssh shhh. Just lay down and take it okay? I got you.” His breathing was heavy, though he was exhausted he just couldn’t stop here and he knew you were too so he didn’t mind fucking you while you were half sleep and on your side.

And luckily, Deku had a front view of it, your pussy spreading from the size of his dick, you were doing so good taking him in.

He started to stroke himself again, he was still so sensitive from just cumming, he couldn’t stop though your voice was so fucking attractive all on its own, “S’goooddd~”

Despite the deep long strokes, your boyfriend was so gentle with making sure he wasn’t too rough, leaving you more sore than you already were in the morning. He nibbled and sucked on your neck, he tried so hard not to moan, he hated how he sounded when he did, but the way your soft fat ass kept bouncing on his pelvis he couldn’t help it and it made you clench harder.

“Just like that baby just cum all on me…there you go..fuck—“

This was just too lewd, but at this point your little best friend didn’t care, he was gnawing on his lips, eyes focused on the sight of your pussy and your eyes rolling back while your boyfriend was in your ear talking oh so dirty to you about your body, your pussy, your moaning. It didn’t take long until you felt that familiar knot.

“Oh shit shit shit shit!” Deku thought, he was close too but he knew it was ganna be messier this time, but he couldn’t stop himself he wanted to cum too right there with you both.

Bakugo’s thrust got sloppier and shallow, catching his own orgasm to join you (and Deku). He covered your mouth with his free hand because you usually get loud when you cum on his cock. But fuck that he kissed you instead to swallow your moans.

Grinding inside you, all three of you came. It was honestly the best and scariest orgasm Deku’s ever had with just his hand. Best from his front row seat view, scariest because he was afraid Bakugo heard you moan your name from the closet.

He swore he did from when he looked up in that direction while you were still on cloud 9, but maybe that was just his imagination.

Maybe.

You both were finally asleep. You laid on top of him, buried in his neck, and Blondie facing the window holding you tight, Deku decided to make it his mission to quietly leave.

There are many secrets Izuku had to keep in his life, but this was one he knew he had to keep for the sake of KEEEPING HIS LIFE.

But it didn’t stop the new view he had towards you both.

Who would’ve thought you both were his new Jack off material.

[die-auster]

Some "if Yue is alive and went travelling with the Gaang" designs

With a ton of text about cultural inspiration.

The main book 2 look

I wanted to show cultural differences between the tribes, so Yue's look is sort of Mongolian. There were Mongolian-styled hats in the Northern tribe, and Yue's dress under the coat looked like a Mongolian deel (thanks @atlaculture for all these posts about clothes and everything else!), so it's not much against the canon information.

So she's wearing a deel again with a second layer - there are chinese actors on photos as far as I know; I hope it's okay. One-shoulder silhouette refers to later Aang's clothes because Yue is still kind of a spiritual person (she wasn't a fighter, so I want her to have some other useful talent – not a bender or healer like Katara or a non-bender warrior like Suki). Violet, pink and white were originally her colors, no changes here. Three blue characters would be too much for a group of five, and total white is not practical at all. I like to think that violet color shows high rank in the Avatar universe; in the original series it was only worn by princess Yue, Kanna, the chief Hakoda's mother, and by king Bumi.

Yue's boots here are mongolian gutals/gutuls (the collage is already big, but I used them again for one of Book 3-looks).

Her hair become simpler – just two braids and a hairpiece, to match her previous decorated hairdo. I guess if she's travelling with the Gaang she's not that much of a Moon Spirit anymore (maybe she returned the part of the moon spirit that saved her and was healed other way?), so I decided to forego the moon-referring part. Also it will be easier to do by herself since she has no servants now... The headdress I took from modern Mongolian dancers; the front part is crescent-moon-shaped.

The Ba Sing Se dress

I fell in love with this Ao Dai dress, it's simple, long and elegant. But... it's mostly Vietnamese… and I'm afraid that it's modern and not historically accurate. Also it does not really go together with other Ba Sing Se dresses :( because I did not want to just copy-paste some background look. But there is at least one dress with a tail, thigh high slits and a standing collar on the dress underneath, so... I guess my choice is not that bad? The tail makes her look more royal. The fan is the same which Toph and Katara had. For the palette I chose Yue's white color with EK greens and warm yellow/ochre to match Katara and Toph. The hairdo is copied from the series; I chose one with the tassel on the right, to refer the NWT/Korean accessories.

The Fire Nation disguise

A confession – I don't like FN clothes. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it properly, so I almost copied that attire (left one) – asymmetry, as a Thai touch, which again matches Aang's Invasion Buddhist-like clothes. The palette keeps Yue's signature white, with some pink of a warmer shade, as they wear it in the Fire Nation. And the "royal" long skirt, 'cause she's still not a fighter. The look is simplified so I could not keep zigzag ornament on her longyi skirt, therefore I moved it onto the top part.

I used Thai dancers jewelry and... flip flops? idk how they are called in Southeast Asia (don't like Sokka and Katara's FN shoes at all, why the design is so complicated?).

For covering her hair I used a turban, inspired by Myanmar turbans; a white one, so if some hair will show, it won't be too noticeable. Also Yue could still be easily recognised on screen/page by her white head. The long end of the fabric on her right resembles burmese hairstyle silhouette.

The Invasion-and-till-finale look

For her dress I used a deel (again); the sleeveless jacket is an hommage to her original design and has some Korean vibes, like Toph's Ba Sing Se dress (at least I hope so). Katara and Sokka's season 1 looks have Korean influence, so I guess it's okay. Gutals are from her Book 2 main look. I have a soft spot for them.

My favorite thing is her hair :)))) It's a mix of Inuit/Mongolian braids and a hairpiece, also from the Book 2 look. This time there will be more braids. Two on the front – I wanted to keep them from her original hairdo, but now they are braided together (I saw this on the Alaskan Inuit/Eskimo women photos). On the back there are five, inspired by a Mongolian hairdo for young unmarried girls, who wore multiple braids. I decided to make five, because Alaskian Inuit language uses this amount for counting and with two front braids it'll make seven, which is a lucky Mongolian number. And in theory a limited number should be easier to animate.

The post-canon noble look

After the final battle I thought Yue will come back to Agna Qel'a and become a more active political figure. I chose a white kuspuk (blue color is still for Katara and Sokka), showing that she is ready to lead her tribe after this journey, not the passive perfect princess she was before. "She is associated in canon with the masculine yang of the yin and yang and the moon which, in most Inuit and Eskimo cultures, is considered masculine as well. While white kuspuks are associated with men and specifically family patriarchs, a feminine kuspuk in white makes plenty of sense for Yue's character" – @mostly-mundane-atla helped me a lot with the cultural meaning of the clothes (I am so grateful!). Also it's an hommage to her total-white Moon Spirit look. And I changed her hair again to Greenland updo with two tied braids on the front – more complicated than the simple braids she wore during the journey. It looks formal.

NWT is less Inuit-inspired and has a strong Mongolian touch (to make them look more "modern"? dunno) but I guess the formal wear for the spiritual princess could refer to older traditions. Which should be the same with SWT, 'cause SWT was originally a part of NWT – or so I heard. For example, Kuruk, the NWT Avatar who lived about 400 years ago, has nothing Mongolian in his look.

All the looks are simplified to match the style of the original cartoon. I know there should be more details and embroidery, but my goal here was to draw something (at least theoretically) applicable for animation. And no Hahn's betrothal necklace of course.

Also I want to mention here other great Yue designs, since they are the inspiration behind the overall idea of the post – the moon looks and "Yue joins the Gaang" outfits by amazingly talented @chiptrillino.

P.S.: an important note

This is my first attempt ever to design outfits that could fit the world of A:tLA. I am not Asian or ingenious, not an expert in their cultures or costume history at all, not a professional character designer. I am just a fan who tried to create designs with respect to real cultures and people. Nothing here was supposed to be offensive in any way. If something still is – please inform me so I could fix it as soon as possible.

I hope, as a fan, I have the right to draw fanarts looking for an inspiration in the cultures that inspired the original cartoon.

If you see mistakes in my post, be it in drawings or a text, also feel free to tell me. I will deeply appreciate it.

[sokkastyles]

Katara felt exilhirated, her hands catching the cool night air as it whipped past. Bright flashes of colorful light popped on either side of her, accompanied by the huge crackle-boom of what she had learned were called fireworks.

At first, she'd been hesitant to the idea of explosions during a festival, but over time, she'd become more used to the Fire Nation's idea of fun. She had even found it beautiful. Aang laughed, leading Appa to race through the colored smoke while Sokka and Suki screamed in delight, and Katara screamed, too, holding up her arms and feeling free.

Until she looked over at Zuko, whose face seemed to be turning a shade halfway between ghost-white and bogwater green.

She tried to edge closer to him in the wide saddle, but it was impossible to move with how fast Appa was flying. Zuko's eyes met her gaze, and she asked "are you alright?" Her words were swallowed by the wind, and Zuko hadn't heard her, his eyes far away. There was another reverberating boom as an explosion of color went off on her other side.

"You want to know what fireworks are like for me?" Toph said to Sokka as Appa landed, a mischievous grin plastered on her face. She had not been enjoying the festivities any more than Zuko had.

Katara winced as Sokka closed his eyes at Toph's bidding, then watched her brother yelp as Toph screamed "BOOM!" into his ear.

Sokka wasn't the only one to jump. Zuko was still clinging to the side of Appa's saddle, even after they had stopped.

"Hey," Katara said, holding out her hand to him. "You alright?" she asked again, now that she could hear herself talk.

Zuko stood up without taking the offered hand, and climbed out of the saddle only a little shakily.

"I'm fine," he said, and walked off.

She found him later sitting on the edge of a fountain ringed by lantern light.

"I used to love fireworks when I was a kid," he said as she approached, his gaze on the bright reflections in the water. "Now it's just...I...I can't see as well, when Appa goes so fast, and it's hard to hear anything."

Katara remembered how noisy it had been when they were in the air. She remembered her first Fire Nation festival, back before the war had ended, and how afraid she had been of the fire. Now, fear was part of the thrill. Experiencing something like that in a way that was safe and fun, knowing it couldn't really hurt you. It was the kind of fun that Zuko must have grown up with. He must have always known that the fire couldn't really hurt him. Until it had.

"It took me a long time to be able to bend again, after," he said, looking up at her, finally, and Katara didn't have to ask him what he meant.

"Maybe someday I'll be okay with fireworks again," he said.

"It's okay," she said. "Even if it's never the same as it was."

It would never be the same, of course. Sometimes, a part of her wondered when she had become so desensitized. It had to be the opposite for Zuko, now. She saw the way he looked sometimes, when people made references to his past, the way he cringed when he spoke about it, how angry he grew on behalf of the Earth Kingdom citizens he had once considered beneath him. It was funny how time changed the way you looked at things. She wondered if it changed the way Zuko looked at her, the way it had for her. Sometimes it seemed to her that they were always just missing each other. Maybe they would never be able to see each other face the face, but for that one moment long ago, under Ba Sing Se. There would always be a part of her that remembered the feeling of being seen, of being known and having been known, by an enemy who was no longer an enemy, but something else entirely.

Together, they sat on the edge of the fountain, just the two of them. They stayed beneath the lantern lights, while everyone celebrated around them, and remembered what it felt like, to burn.

[ilikepjo24]

There's a post going around Tumblr about the color palette of your name (I saw @prodogg do it) and I tried it but my name has a very boring color palette so I did Atla characters instead.

Aang:

Okay! All of them are very bright colors that represent Aang's bright attitude and there's a dark shade at the top row which brings to mind the flaws of his character. Personally, I feel like that dark brown represents the guilt Aang feels for leaving. We also have some yellow and soft red, which are the colours of his outfit. There's some light grey that reminds me of his eyes and pretty light blue and beige, breezy light his element. We have some blue, some yellow, some green and some red. True Avatar core right there.

Katara:

Ohhh~ So many pretty blues! Blue eyes, blue clothes, blue nation, blue element and so on. Once again, I feel like the dark color in the third row represents the more bitter parts of Katara personality. Her small moments of jealousy, spite and harness. I also like how all the blues are different shades, some coming close to grey, others close to green and some being pure blue. The variety of shades really shows what I well rounded character she is.

Sokka:

Oh my... That's unexpected... There's only one shade of blue! But I can see some pretty browns and greys in there that are in his colour palette. I wonder why there are so many greens... Probably because he's one of the only characters that are grounded to earth 😂 maybe even a bit too much, seeing how he's always suspicious and doubtful. There are also some snow-like colours in here, which is fitting, seeing as he's from the Water Tribe 😎.

Suki:

That's a very interesting palette... The brown colours remind me of the Earth Kingdom, but there's a snowy white in there, probably because of how close Kyoshi Island is to the Southern Water Tribe. There's also a bit of green in there, even if it's greyish, and I couldn't help but notice those dark shades of red... Is it because she relocated in the Fire Nation after the war, and is currently working as Zuko's bodyguard? I also see a few really dark shades in those top corners, although I'm not surprised. Suki is a warrior through and through, and sometimes warriors have to do some ugly things to protect their homes.

Toph:

No surprises here! I like how Toph has more dark shades than other characters, since she's more in touch with her "dark side" after participating in secret wrestling matches and pulling all those scams. Many shades of green and brown, like her element and her country. But there's also some very light greens in there, so light that they could pass as white or grey, which is unlike the usual Earth Kingdom greens. I wonder if it's because she uses her bending in a much different way that all the other earthbenders, which makes her special. Or it could be because that's the color of her eyes.

Zuko:

That palette is an interesting one for sure. There are so many dark colours in here! And as we all know, the Prince of the Fire Nation didn't have a very happy life, or a very bright attitude. There's a dark brown-red in here and a dark blackish green, along with some blues and greys and a brownish gold. I wonder if it's because of his travels to all the four nations during his search for the Avatar. And I'm loving the references to the Blue Spirit with all those blues in there. Zuko's second, secret persona is a big deal for his character, since all the times we've seen him wear that mask, we've also gotten hints for his future redemption and friendships.

Azula:

Ah, there we go. My favorite girl! Right of the top we have some dark shades, fitting for s true vigilante. There's some brown-ish gold abd black, which brings her hair and eyes to mind. A pretty shade of red, for a true Fire Nation Princess. The lack of blue surprises me, seeing as her fire and her lighting are both blue... I guess the website must believe that she is much more than her bending. And there's quite a lot of green I see... Probably because her peak as a strategist and warrior was conquering Ba Sing Se and bringing the Earth Kingdom to its knees, all while wearing the iconic green Kyoshi Warrior uniform and the even more iconic green Earth Queen outfit.

Does your muse care about what color clothes they buy or wear? What colors do they avoid?

clothes are VERY important to her ( ft. unprompted hc questions w/ anon!! )

Hmmmmm, i know my blog gives off the vibe that suki wears almost exclusively pink, but she does wear other colors ( her outfit inspo board is right here!! ). That being said, she does try to avoid wearing red as it doesn’t mesh well with her scars so i would say she’s more inclined to  wear light shades- shades of white, pink, yellow, and lighter greens and browns. If she has to wear dark colors, it’ll have to be paired with a lighter shade- you know how there are ppl who have nothing but black in their wardrobe?? Yeah that’s not really suki’s style. She might be the only one who i usually just don’t see her wearing black if she doesn’t have to.

[rot8erconex]

Someone in the comments asked for an image description, so *cracks knuckles* this will be long because it’s actual art and “important to meaning” is subjective.  Also, someone else will need to format this to match Tumblr standards for image descriptions, I’m still new here and haven’t internalized it; I’m gonna go off what I remember but might be wrong.

[ID: A piece showing eight Avatar: the Last Airbender characters in a style vaguely reminiscent of the pottery ladies from Disney’s Hercules.  In the center of the image is a rotated square containing icons representing the four elements.  The eight characters surround the square such that each character is closest to the element they are associated with.  Clockwise from 1 o’clock:

- Kotara, shaded in blue.  She is facing away from 12 o’clock and is throwing a whip of water.

- Sokka, shaded in a lighter blue.  He is facing towards the center and is throwing a boomerang.

- Suki, shaded in turquoise.  She is facing towards the center and is performing a fan-balanced kick attack.

- Toph, shaded in green.  She is facing away from 6 o’clock and takes up half of her available area, filling the other half with protective earthbending constructs, upon the largest of which can be seen the artist’s signature.

- Aang, shaded in gold.  He is facing away from 6 o’clock and is using his kite staff to actually make the border between his and the next character’s sections visible.

- Appa, shaded in yellow-orange.  He is facing towards Aang, and looks to have curled up for a nap but is not yet asleep.

- Iroh, shaded in red-orange.  He is facing towards the center, and is offering tea to the next character.

- Zuko, shaded in red.  He is facing away from 12 o’clock and is sitting down and practicing his firebending.

With 2025 just around the corner, we're looking forward to all of the new home decor trends for the year and finding ways to add them to our homes. But if you're not sure where to start, we checked in with a few of our favorite design pros to ask what they have their eyes on for 2025—and they're all under $150. Meet the Expert Nancy Parrish is the founder and principal designer of Nancy Parrish Interiors. Natalie Papier is an interior designer and the author of Start with the Art. The Six Bells Vintage Woven Rag Rug The Six Bells According to designer Nancy Parrish, next year will be another year she’s all about the vintage accents.  This, Parrish explains, is all a part of her design philosophy, and she’s eager to continue embracing vintage elements, blending them seamlessly and skillfully into contemporary spaces.  “Each piece is carefully selected not just for its style, but for its ability to resonate with your unique journey,” Parrish says. “A patterned vintage rug adds character and charm, transforming your space into a sophisticated sanctuary.” Want more of our favorite products? Sign up for our free shopping newsletter for our top finds, best sales, and more! Elsie Green Vintage Stoneware Pitcher Elsie Green As Parrish points out, shopping vintage is the perfect way to inject individuality into your space, and creating a home that feels more intentional and curated.  “We find strength in classic design influences, celebrating their enduring beauty,” says Parrish. “Our goal is to curate interiors that … become a reflection of thoughtful, nostalgia-infused design and feels both personal and timeless.” Pooky Lighting 16-inch Straight Empire Shade in Scarlet Tapers Pooky Lighting If you thought the unexpected red movement was a passing trend, interior designer and author Natalie Papier promises us all it’s here to stay—at least for 2025.  “Pops of red is definitely an interior trend I have always been drawn to,” she says. “Small moments of red in decor adds up to so much more in a space.” Papier says one great way she loves to incorporate this trend is through unexpected lighting moments.  If you want to dip your toe into your own unexpected red moment with your lighting plan, try a fun and playful lampshade. We love this striped stunner by Pooky. Pooky Wee Scoon Cordless Table Lamp Pooky Lighting Gone are the days of wishing you could let a corner of a room that doesn’t have an electrical socket—and that’s all thanks to cordless lighting. “Cordless lighting is set to revolutionize how we illuminate our spaces!” says Parrish. Pooky Elbow Cordless Wall Fixture Pooky Lighting Cordless table lamps are exciting on their own, but Parrish says she’s also thrilled by the advancement of cordless sconces.  “Installation is super easy—perfect for upgrading your home effortlessly!” she says.  Christina Lundsteen Basic Square Cushion in Anemone Christina Lundsteen If you’re looking for the best throw pillows, Papier says her current favorite designer is Christina Lundsteen. “[They have] incredible color and pattern mixing elements,” she says. “I keep purchasing them for myself as well as my clients.” Christina Lundsteen Suki Cushion in Raspberry and Beige Christina Lundsteen If you’re looking for something a bit more bold and fun, this raspberry and beige pattern in velvet is lush and lovely.  Sabre Paris Bistrot Pearly in Aubergine Sabre Paris Whether you plan to host more in 2025 or you simply want to up your kitchen game, Papier says she’s all about the beautiful serverware and silverware from Sabre Paris. Sabre Paris Bistrot Uni Cutlery Set in Vert (Set of 4) Sabre Paris Sabre Paris offers stunning cutlery sets that pair beautifully with their serverware, and the variety of colors is especially eye-catching. Stick with all one hue, or mix and match for a truly one-of-a-kind tablescape. Schoolhouse Scallop Trim Napkin (Set of 4) Schoolhouse It’s always a good idea to keep linen napkins on hand, because they’re the exact thing you’ll want to pull out for a special occasion or to make your everyday feel elevated. Papier says her friend have these scalloped stunners, and they’re at the top of her list for 2025. Nations Photo Lab Coffee Table Photo Books Nations Photo Lab Coffee table books are the perfect way to style sideboards, coffee tables, and built-in shelves, and Parrish says sourcing these is definitely on her list for 2025.  “I’m always on the lookout for captivating coffee table books that not only have engaging subjects but also feature beautifully designed covers that make them ideal conversation starters,” she says.  If you’re not sure where to start or you want something truly unique, you could also try making your own—especially one with a simple linen cover in a bold color, complete with an eye-catching quote or title. Mydrenko Blue Bird Sculpture Etsy If you’re looking for stunning unique, handmade pieces, Papier says she’s a huge fan of Etsy—and most specifically, she loves a designer named Mydrenko who sells stunning, original ceramics.  “I find the most unique small businesses and makers on Etsy,” says Papier. “It's my fave place to find unique pieces." Narrative & Co Library 11oz Candle Jar in Love Note Narrative & Co Though Parrish admits she’s not normally a candle person due to scent sensitivities, she makes an exception for this locally sourced custom candle company.  “When I discovered that they could craft a custom scent just for me, using 100% soy wax, I was hooked,” she says.  ViktoriaFineGallery Mini Oil Painting Etsy As an avid art collector, Papier says she also loves the quirky pieces she finds on Etsy. This mini oil painting would make a perfect gift, a great desktop accessory, or the ideal addition to a growing gallery wall.  Katie Lebel Moth Star Lady Cup Practical Art If you’re looking for quirky pottery, Papier wholeheartedly recommends Katie Lebel, who you can also find on Instagram at @katielebelmakes.  “I own two of her pieces and I use one as a small flower vase and the other as a toothbrush holder,” says Papier.

With 2025 just around the corner, we're looking forward to all of the new home decor trends for the year and finding ways to add them to our homes. But if you're not sure where to start, we checked in with a few of our favorite design pros to ask what they have their eyes on for 2025—and they're all under $150. Meet the Expert Nancy Parrish is the founder and principal designer of Nancy Parrish Interiors. Natalie Papier is an interior designer and the author of Start with the Art. The Six Bells Vintage Woven Rag Rug The Six Bells According to designer Nancy Parrish, next year will be another year she’s all about the vintage accents.  This, Parrish explains, is all a part of her design philosophy, and she’s eager to continue embracing vintage elements, blending them seamlessly and skillfully into contemporary spaces.  “Each piece is carefully selected not just for its style, but for its ability to resonate with your unique journey,” Parrish says. “A patterned vintage rug adds character and charm, transforming your space into a sophisticated sanctuary.” Want more of our favorite products?

Elsie Green Vintage Stoneware Pitcher Elsie Green As Parrish points out, shopping vintage is the perfect way to inject individuality into your space, and creating a home that feels more intentional and curated.  “We find strength in classic design influences, celebrating their enduring beauty,” says Parrish. “Our goal is to curate interiors that … become a reflection of thoughtful, nostalgia-infused design and feels both personal and timeless.” Pooky Lighting 16-inch Straight Empire Shade in Scarlet Tapers Pooky Lighting If you thought the unexpected red movement was a passing trend, interior designer and author Natalie Papier promises us all it’s here to stay—at least for 2025.  “Pops of red is definitely an interior trend I have always been drawn to,” she says. “Small moments of red in decor adds up to so much more in a space.” Papier says one great way she loves to incorporate this trend is through unexpected lighting moments.  If you want to dip your toe into your own unexpected red moment with your lighting plan, try a fun and playful lampshade. We love this striped stunner by Pooky. Pooky Wee Scoon Cordless Table Lamp Pooky Lighting Gone are the days of wishing you could let a corner of a room that doesn’t have an electrical socket—and that’s all thanks to cordless lighting. “Cordless lighting is set to revolutionize how we illuminate our spaces!” says Parrish. Pooky Elbow Cordless Wall Fixture Pooky Lighting Cordless table lamps are exciting on their own, but Parrish says she’s also thrilled by the advancement of cordless sconces.  “Installation is super easy—perfect for upgrading your home effortlessly!” she says.  Christina Lundsteen Basic Square Cushion in Anemone Christina Lundsteen If you’re looking for the best throw pillows, Papier says her current favorite designer is Christina Lundsteen. “[They have] incredible color and pattern mixing elements,” she says. “I keep purchasing them for myself as well as my clients.” Christina Lundsteen Suki Cushion in Raspberry and Beige Christina Lundsteen If you’re looking for something a bit more bold and fun, this raspberry and beige pattern in velvet is lush and lovely.  Sabre Paris Bistrot Pearly in Aubergine Sabre Paris Whether you plan to host more in 2025 or you simply want to up your kitchen game, Papier says she’s all about the beautiful serverware and silverware from Sabre Paris.
