Personal choice: mixing “farmhouse” or “cottage” patterns with modern lines. I think these little details make the difference between perfectly staged vs lived in. One of my favorite brands is Bloomingville. They have many decor items that can give that curated lived in look and at affordable prices. If you are not working with a designer, you can typically find this brand at local boutique stores who specialize in home decor and gifts such as online shops mullendesignco.com or KharaCollective.com.
