I’ve always loved working across different design styles. Some homes call for something clean and modern, others feel more organic or coastal, and some give us the opportunity to lean into more traditional details.

Lately, I’ve especially loved finding ways to bring those traditional elements into a home while still keeping everything feeling fresh.

When I look back at projects like Mapleton and Three Falls, that mix is one of my favorite things about them. There are beautiful architectural details, warm woods, stone, millwork and classic forms, but they’re balanced with cleaner lines, modern lighting, organic materials and more relaxed furnishings. It’s not about choosing traditional over modern. For me, it’s about taking the best parts of both.

I’m actually a pretty simple packer. I don’t want a suitcase full of options. I want pieces I know I’ll wear, beauty products that make getting ready easy, and a few things that can pull everything together without much thought.

These are seven of those things. Some are newer finds and some have become staples, but they’re all coming with me this fall.

If you know me, you know I’m not someone who completely changes my home for every season. I like to keep things simple and bring in just a few pieces that add a little fun without taking away from the overall look and feel of a space.

Halloween is no exception.

This year, I wanted Halloween decor that felt festive but still worked with the warm, collected interiors I love; natural textures, beautiful materials, vintage-inspired details, and just enough personality. That was the inspiration behind our new Halloween Collection.

Halloween, Just a Little More Elevated

For me, the best seasonal pieces are the ones that can be mixed right into what you already have.

Instead of redoing an entire room, I love the idea of adding woven bats to a wall, placing a vintage-inspired brass skeleton on the porch, or mixing a few terracotta and black pumpkins into an existing console or entryway.

It gives you that Halloween feeling without making your home suddenly feel like a completely different space.

One of my favorite pieces from the collection is our Giant Haunted Wicker House. The woven texture makes it feel unexpected and special, and I love that it makes a statement without feeling overly themed.

The Vintage Brass Skeleton has that same collected quality. It feels almost like something you could have found at a flea market or antique shop, which is exactly the kind of seasonal decor I’m drawn to.

And then we added a few pieces that are simply fun; our Broomstick, our Witch Hat Set, Haunted House Cookie Jar, Wicker Bats, Jack-o’-Lanterns, and Garland.

My Approach: Add, Don’t Replace

My biggest tip for decorating for Halloween is to work with what you already have. Keep the vase you love and switch the greenery for darker branches. Add a pumpkin or two to your coffee table. Tuck a skeleton onto a bookshelf. Hang bats around a favorite piece of art or over a mirror.

A few small changes can create an entirely different mood without having to pack away everything else in your home.

I also love the mix of materials in this collection. Wicker, aged brass, terracotta (Shop Terracotta Pumpkin), burlap, and matte black bring in the warmth and texture I naturally gravitate toward, so even the more playful pieces still feel at home in a beautiful space.

A Few Pieces Are All You Need

You definitely don’t need a house full of Halloween decor to make the season feel special. Choose a few things you really love, mix them into your home, and let those pieces do the work.

Our Halloween Collection is available now at Becki Owens Living, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. We had so much fun finding pieces that feel festive, a little unexpected, and still very much like us.

I hope you enjoy decorating for the season.

Xxo,

There’s something about the end of summer that always makes me look at my home a little differently.

Maybe it’s knowing we’ll soon be spending more time inside, or thinking about family gathering again. I start wanting the house to feel warmer, a little more layered, and ready for the season ahead.

But I’ve never believed that means completely changing your home for fall.

In fact, I think the most beautiful homes are just the opposite.

They have a foundation that stays and layers that evolve.

I Don’t Want a Room to Feel Like a Moment in Time

I love looking at what’s new in design. I’m constantly saving inspiration, noticing new materials, and seeing ideas I want to try.

But when I’m choosing a major piece of furniture, I look at it differently.

I ask myself: Will I still love this when everything around it changes?

Because it will.

Pillows change. Rugs change. Paint colors change. We bring home things from our travels, find a vintage piece we love, move things from one room to another, and slowly add layers to our homes.

Great furniture should give you the freedom to do that.

The Pieces I Notice First

When I walk into a room, I’m always looking at proportion.

The height of a sofa. The depth of a seat. The shape of an arm. The way the back of a chair looks when it floats in a room.

Sometimes the smallest design decision is the thing that makes a piece feel completely different.

That’s something we thought about constantly while designing our Becki Owens x Surya furniture collection.

I didn’t want pieces that were interesting because they were trendy. I wanted them to have something special about them because the proportions were right, the materials were beautiful, or there was an unexpected detail you might not notice until you looked a little closer.

Those are usually the pieces I love the longest.

Beautiful Doesn’t Have to Mean Precious

This might be one of the most important things I’ve learned from designing homes.

A beautiful room still has to work.

People need to be able to sit on the sofa, put their feet up, have friends over, watch a movie, and actually live in the space.

I’ve never been interested in creating rooms that are beautiful in a photograph but uncomfortable in real life.

The balance between elevated design and relaxed living is a huge part of my aesthetic, and it’s something we wanted this furniture collection to capture.

I want a sofa to have a beautiful silhouette from across the room, and then I want you to sit down and stay awhile.

Fall Is About Layers, Not Reinvention

This brings me back to why I’ve been thinking about all of this right now.

As we move toward fall, I’m not looking around my home thinking about what needs to be replaced.

I’m thinking about what I can layer.

A nubby throw tossed over the sofa. A deeper chocolate or olive pillow. A beautiful wood bowl on the coffee table. Oversized branches instead of summer greenery. A vintage object that adds a little age and character.

The foundational pieces stay.

And I think that’s one of the secrets to creating a home that feels collected over time rather than constantly decorated.

Buy Fewer, Better Things

If I could give one piece of advice when choosing furniture, it would probably be this:

Buy fewer, better things.

Wait for the piece with the right scale. Look at the back of the chair, not just the front. Pay attention to how the fabric feels. Notice the arms, the seams, the legs, and the proportions.

And choose pieces that leave room for your home, and your style, to evolve around them.

That’s what we wanted to create with our Surya collection.

Not furniture for a season.

Furniture you can build a home around.

Designed to stay.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is how a few thoughtful details can completely transform a home. The glow of candlelight, fresh greenery, cozy textures, and meaningful traditions have a way of making every space feel warm and inviting.

When I decorate for the season, my goal is never to follow the latest trends. Instead, I focus on creating a home that feels timeless, one that we look forward to recreating year after year.

For me, that starts with investing in pieces that have staying power. I love natural greenery, classic wreaths, warm brass accents, marble and wood details, beautiful stockings, and soft textiles that layer effortlessly with the décor we already have. These are the pieces that never feel dated and become part of your family’s traditions over time.

I also believe the best holiday homes are collected, not completed in a single season. Every year, I add one or two pieces that I truly love instead of replacing everything. As your collection grows, your home begins to tell your family’s story, and decorating becomes less about buying more and more about bringing back the pieces you cherish.

One question I get every year is why we start sharing holiday décor so early. The truth is, the most beautiful pieces often sell out long before the holidays arrive. Shopping now gives you the best selection and allows you to be intentional about what you’re bringing into your home instead of making last-minute decisions.

By the time November arrives, I want to be focused on the things that matter most, baking with my family, hosting friends, listening to Christmas music, and enjoying the process of decorating, not searching for items that are no longer available.

This year’s holiday collection is filled with timeless pieces designed to work beautifully with a variety of homes and decorating styles. Whether you’re adding your first heirloom wreath or layering in a few new accents to complement what you already own, my hope is that these pieces become part of the memories you create each holiday season.

After all, the most beautiful holiday homes aren’t the ones with the most decorations. They’re the ones that feel warm, welcoming, and filled with traditions you’ll want to revisit year after year.

Happy decorating,

There are places you visit once, and there are places that quietly become part of your family’s story.

For Rich’s family, Hebgen Lake has been that place for nearly 80 years. Every summer, generations gather at the same cabins, on the same shoreline, with many of the same families who have been returning year after year. It’s one of those rare traditions that somehow feels exactly the same, and yet uniquely special every summer.

One of the questions I ask myself every time we begin designing a collection is surprisingly simple: Would I want to live with this every single day?

Would I actually use it, not just admire it? Sit in it while listen to my kids talk about their day, gather my family in it for dinner, and curl up in it to relax at end of the day. Because beautiful furniture should do more than complete a room. It should make you want to spend time there.

This is the idea that became the foundation for our new furniture collection with Joss & Main.

Collaborations are always at their best when you're working with people who genuinely understand your vision. That's exactly how this experience with Joss & Main felt. Their team embraced every detail that mattered to us, from the sculptural silhouettes and layered textures to the hidden functionality that makes these pieces so enjoyable to live with. It was a true creative partnership, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to bring this collection to life together.

From the beginning, I knew I wanted these pieces to reflect the way we believe a home should feel, warm, welcoming, timeless, and lived in. Not overly formal. Not trend-driven. Just thoughtfully designed spaces that invite people to gather and stay awhile.

As we started designing, we found ourselves returning to the same ideas over and over again. Soft curves. Rich texture. Beautiful materials. Thoughtful comfort. And pieces that would mix and match naturally together and into your existing designs.

You’ll notice those elements throughout the entire collection. Rounded silhouettes, sculptural seating, tailored upholstery, and gentle architectural lines all work together to create furniture that feels calm, balanced, and timeless. I love how softer shapes naturally make a room feel more inviting. They add warmth without adding visual weight, creating spaces that feel relaxed while still feeling elevated.

Texture was just as important. I’ve always believed it’s the layering of materials that gives a home its personality. We chose rich performance fabrics with beautiful texture, soft chenilles that invite you to sink in, and genuine leather that only becomes more beautiful over time. Even the color palette reflects that philosophy; timeless neutrals paired with earthy tones like Marin Twig, a sophisticated olive green, and Mocha Chenille, a warm neutral that brings incredible depth to a room.

One of my favorite parts of this collection is something you might not even notice at first. Many of the pieces swivel, recline, or offer modular flexibility, but we intentionally designed them so that comfort never defines their appearance. Instead, the sculptural silhouettes, thoughtful proportions, and tailored details take center stage. The functionality simply makes them even better to live with.

I’ve always believed you shouldn’t have to choose between beautiful furniture and comfortable furniture. You deserve both.

As I look at this collection, I don’t just see furniture. I picture slow Saturday mornings with my husband relaxing in his favorite chair. Family movie nights gathered on the sofa. Dinner parties that last long after dessert. Guests who instantly feel at home. Those are the moments that inspired every design decision.

At the end of the day, our homes aren’t defined by the furniture inside them, they’re defined by the life that happens around it. If this collection helps create even a few more of those moments for your family, then we’ve accomplished exactly what we set out to do.

Thank you, as always, for supporting what we create and for allowing us to be a small part of your homes. Bringing this collection to life has been such a rewarding experience, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share it with you.

I can’t wait to hear which piece becomes your favorite.

It’s the middle of summer and we are having a heat wave in California. The last thing most of us are thinking about is pulling out holiday decor when we’re still spending our evenings outside and squeezing every bit out of summer. But every year, without fail, this is one of the questions I get asked the most:

“When will the Christmas collection be back?”

The truth is, some of our holiday pieces never make it to December.

For the past several years, our most-loved, woven nutcracker has sold out, even before the decorating season begins. In fact it has sold out multiple times, and every year my inbox fills with messages from people hoping we’ll restock before Christmas. I wish we always could, but once it is gone, it is gone for the season.

This is where Christmas in July came from.

Instead of waiting until fall, we’re opening our Christmas Pre-Sale so you can reserve your favorites now and enjoy the rest of your summer knowing your holiday decorating is already taken care of.

I’m actually a big believer in buying holiday decor early, not because I’m decorating in July, but because it takes the pressure off later.

When November arrives, I’d much rather be thinking about family traditions, hosting friends, baking cookies, and enjoying the season than searching online for that one piece I wish I had ordered months earlier.

Planning ahead means you get exactly what you want instead of settling for what’s left.

This year’s collection includes the pieces that have become holiday traditions in so many of your homes, plus a few new additions.

Of course, our viral woven Nutcracker is back and if you’ve been following along for the past few years, you know why everyone gets excited. It has sold out five different times, and this year’s version includes a beautiful updated velvet bow while keeping everything you loved about the original.

We’ve also introduced oversized woven Christmas Trees that make such a statement on a covered porch, beside a fireplace, in an entryway, or anywhere you want to create that collected holiday feeling. They are one of my favorite decorating pieces because they’re timeless, neutral, and easy to style year after year.

Along with those favorites, you’ll find woven bells, a beautiful woven, hanging bow and more natural-textured pieces that make holiday decorating feel elevated instead of overly themed.

We love how this statement collection is timeless and unique. I love decorating with layers of texture, warm neutrals, natural woven materials, greenery, soft ribbons, and classic shapes that can stay in style year after year. These are the pieces I pull out every season because they work with almost any decorating style, whether your home is modern, traditional, coastal, or somewhere in between.

Holiday decorating should feel collected, not cluttered.

My advice…if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, or something you missed last year, this is the best time to order.

Our community has taught us that these pieces disappear quickly, which is exactly why we created this early pre-sale. Once inventory is spoken for, we can’t promise they’ll be available again before the holidays.

So while it may feel a little funny shopping for Christmas in July, future you will be very happy you did.

Happy decorating (just maybe not quite yet!).

Xxo,

Becki

The mountains are dramatic, the villages are charming, and every drive somehow feels more beautiful than the last. Everywhere we looked there were green alpine meadows, tiny mountain huts, winding roads, and incredible peaks that almost don’t seem real.

If there’s one place from this trip that completely exceeded our expectations, it was the Dolomites.

Maybe it’s the freedom of pulling into a tiny village you’ve never heard of, or spotting a castle on a hill and deciding to take the next exit just to see where the road leads. Some of our favorite family memories happened because we slowed down enough to explore places that were never on the original itinerary.

This summer, our European adventure began in Germany before taking us through Prague and back to Munich. Looking back, this first leg of the trip had everything we love most about traveling together: beautiful castles, medieval towns, incredible history, great hotels, unforgettable food, and countless little moments that reminded us why we love exploring new places as a family.

When we were designing the library for our Three Falls Project, we wanted it to feel connected to the heart of the home while still offering a sense of retreat. Rather than creating a completely enclosed room, we designed the space around a double-sided, see-through fireplace that acts as an architectural divider between the great room and the library. It creates separation without sacrificing light, views, or connection. This was one of my favorite design strategies for making a home feel both expansive and intimate at the same time.

As we wrap up this month’s countertop series, I wanted to share two other materials we consistently return to in our projects. While marble will always be a favorite, there are other surfaces that bring a similar timeless feel while adding warmth, texture, and durability in different ways.

These are the materials we often use when we want a kitchen to feel organic, layered, and lived in but still elevated.

Lately I’ve been inspired by some of the most-loved French pharmacie skincare finds and created a simple day and night routine designed for smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin. What I love most about these products is how luxurious they feel while still being incredibly gentle and wearable every day.

Here’s a great day and night routine for aging and/or dry skin.

I’m starting a new series sharing some of my favorite marbles we’ve used in our projects—and the alternatives I recommend when you want a similar look with a little more durability. If you’re building or renovating, this is often one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, so I love giving both options depending on how you live.

1. Flooring

If I were starting from scratch, I would always begin with flooring. It sets the tone for the entire home.

I’m always drawn to a warm, natural white oak look, nothing too yellow, nothing too gray, just soft, sun-washed and timeless.

Some of my favorite options:
