The sun is by far the most important source of energy for all living things on earth. Humans and plants alike draw energy from the sun, and its power to give life, light, and energy to all living things shows up in so many of the world’s cultures and religions. So it’s no surprise that…

The new ‘critter’ that’s inspiring our work lately…
Pattern by Justina Blakeney Have you ever noticed that ‘critters’ seem to come in and out of style? Around 2010 everything had an owl on it, a couple of years ago you couldn’t go anywhere without running into a mini brass elephant, and last year llamas were enjoying their moment in the spotlight. Well this…

8 (Great) Rattan Furniture Pieces (Under $150)
It should some as no surprise that we LOVE rattan here at Jungalow. It’s an insanely versatile natural material that has so many boho applications — from peacock chairs to gorgeously ornate wall shelves, bistro chairs, and funky side tables. It’s a common mistake to confuse rattan for bamboo in furniture (I did for years),…

Who doesn’t love a good hamsa?! The hamsa, also known as the Hand of God or the Hand of Fatima, is an ancient amulet symbolizing protection, happiness, luck, health, and good fortune.

A Very Sunny Roundup
Did you know the sun is actually a star? That’s right! When a star is at the center of a planetary system, it’s called a sun. The sun we know and love is literally the center of our universe and happens to be the most important (and beautiful) source of energy for all living things…
A Roundup of Our Favorite Hues
We are really feeling the colors in our studio kitchen. The warm terra cotta walls, cool mint fridge, and the touches of blush in our ceramic dishes work together in some kinda magical way.

Did you know that the zodiac signs are divided into the four elements of fire, earth, air and water? Our homies, the Astrotwins (Tali and Ophira Edut) break it down for us in The New Bohemians Handbook. If you are a Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, your element is earth and chances are you are drawn…
A Very Winter Fashion Roundup
California winters are an oxymoron. It rarely dips below 50 degrees here in Los Angeles, but every once in a while we get a few brisk days where you actually need a jacket, like this week when it was pouring rain. You know we aren’t about to just throw on any old boring thing! The…

Spice Up Your Living Room!
We were recently looking through the Pantone Edition of The Complete Color Harmony by Leatrice Eiseman and we were so inspired by the Piquant palette featured in the book.

A Very Velvety Roundup
Soft, luxurious, and bohotastic? Yes please! We love a sumptuous velvet over here at Jungalow. Velvet isn’t just a texture you find on vintage 1960s pieces anymore. It’s making a major comeback and we totally see why. Velvet elevates any design with its opulent texture. It is woven and has a short, dense pile, which…
Mid-Century Meets Jungalow
Who doesn’t love a good mid-century modern piece? The characteristic clean lines, gentle curves, and organic forms of MCM pieces are a great foundation for any design. One of my favorite MCM designers is Adrian Pearsall. His architectural engineering background shines through his sleek 1960s furniture designs. I was so excited when I found…
Making Your Room The Coziest
As the weather gets colder, I don’t know about you but I want to feel extra cozy when I’m tucked in tight at night. Extra layers are the key to a cozy space! Throw an extra quilt or two on top of your duvet. Add some faux fur pillows and layered soft rugs for extra…
A Very Arabesque Roundup
Here at Jungalow, we are inspired by all sorts of silhouettes. Recently we’ve been really drawn to the ‘arabesque’. Arabesques are a fundamental element of Islamic art and design. In the above pic, Gilian Lawlee painted a black arabesque shape over the entrance to her hallway. It really adds a beautiful decorative element to the passageway,…
