DwellStudio

This Spring and Summer, we're excited to punch up our patios with DwellStudio for Robert Allen's first-ever outdoor fabric line: Modern Bungalow. Crazy good color palettes and glam graphics aside, its "retro-chic" aesthetic is predicted to become a huge trend this coming season.

While the line is intended for the outdoors (it's crafted with weather-resistant Sunbrella yarns), we're tempted to bring the look inside — picture a headboard in a sun-drenched room upholstered in one of these fabrics!

The line's 11 new styles draw inspiration from exotic locations and design movements from the past, making it ideal for the style-craved, staycation crowd looking to shake up their seasonal decor. “We created the Modern Bungalow collection around a few centerpieces — a wild jungle foliage and a graphic silhouette — then layered in trellises, stripes and rich textured solids. We wanted a look that combined the glamour of Hollywood Regency and Palm Springs with modern pops of color,” says DwellStudio's founder and creative director Christiane Lemieux.

Check out the full collection, and let us know which new print might be making its debut in your home this season!

Vroom, vroom! It's no secret that kids love cars, trucks, and things that go — that's why nursery design firms spend so much time making bedding and room accessories featuring all kinds of vehicles. While vintage styles always look cute in baby's room, more modern designs — especially those featuring silhouettes of the vehicles — continue to attract decorating moms-to-be. Check out a couple of our favorite options for any budget.

Simple: Carter's may be synonymous with soft-as-can-be layette and baby clothes (not to mention fabulous basics like undershirts and pajamas), but the 146-year-old company is now expanding into the world of nursery furniture and bedding and is making a grand entrance. Its Bumper-Bumper Collection ($160) is just one of four modern collections that include a fitted sheet, reversible quilt, dust ruffle, and diaper stacker. Bumpers can be added to the sets for an additional $60.

Swank: The industry leader in clean, modern design for babies and kids, DwellStudio revolutionized the nursery industry when it first introduced its crib bedding designs. One of the company's most popular sets, the Dwell Transportation Crib Bedding ($360) comes with a fitted sheet, play blanket, dust ruffle, and bumper.

If you're a fan of DwellStudio's gorgeous linens, kids' line, and other perfectly designed home finds, good news: DwellStudio has partnered with Brand Sense Partners to expand its wholesale, retail, licensing, and e-commerce businesses. Also in the works are plans to open a DwellStudio flagship store — I can't wait! “We are thrilled to have found a partner in BSP that truly understands my creative vision and is as passionate as we are for the brand. After 10 years of organic growth, it is very exciting to super-charge the business. The future for DwellStudio is limitless,” said DwellStudio founder, Christiane Lemieux.

While I'm excited to see what Christiane and team add to DwellStudio's offerings, there are plenty of designs in existence that I can't stop thinking about. See my current 10 favorites in the widget below.

CasaSugar Community member Samantha675 recently pointed the CasaSugar Q and A group to a photo of the DwellStudio New Gate Ash Duvet Set, asking for help finding this wallpaper. The yellow bird and branch pattern in the photo is not actually a wallpaper but a roller shade. Luckily, I do know where she can pick it up. Continue reading to find out where it's from.

It's a case of mod design hitting the bookshelf. DwellStudio stole our hearts (and our wallets) with its colorful, modern nursery design. Now it is targeting toddlers with two new finger puppet books. The textile manufacturer added some of its famous fabric to board books to create cats and dogs that peek their way through various scenarios (all illustrated using Dwell's contemporary patterns) to the giggling delight of kids who can't wait to see where the animals turn up next. Kitty in Squares ($9) and Puppy in Circles ($9) will be available in early October.
