The Look for Less: Glitter Guide Founder Taylor Sterling's California-Casual Living Room

The look for less: Taylor Sterling's California casual living room
Sometimes I feel like I'm living on the wrong coast, because as much as I love classic New England style, I'm obsessed with the ease and warmth of modern California-casual decor. Case in point: Every time Glitter Guide founder Taylor Sterling posts a peek of her L.A. home on Instagram (@taylorsterling), I swoon. I love the lightness, the soft pinks and muted tans, the Southwest references and the warm-weather plants like cacti and fiddle leaf figs that still feel really exotic to this East Coast via Midwest girl. If you share my obsession, read on for budget-friendly decor items and furniture that will help you get Taylor's look in your own living room...

Looooove every part. Like generally I like elements of people's rooms but other parts I don't care for... But this?! I want it all.

Do you by chance read minds? As I saw this feature on GG, I was so thinking I needed to duplicate this for less! Amazing job.

Haha I love it. Thanks Heidi, I don't read minds...but I do take requests! If you ever see an outfit or room you'd like me to attempt to recreate I'll do my best to try.

FYI you can find the exact rug shown in Taylor's living room at Lulu & Georgia, it's a special limited-edition rug they co-created and is named after her daughter, Elodie:
