Let’s talk about one of the biggest home decor trends right now—Moody Home Decor. It’s been trending for months, and with Winter here, it’s on theme. ❄️
Moody decor doesn’t always mean dark (although it can be). It’s more about rich, luxurious colors like jewel tones, deep blacks, and opulent fabrics. There’s even a touch of Art Deco flair in some versions of this trend. ✨ What do you think? Do you see my art fitting into this aesthetic?

The link below will help you know if the food you are feeding to your companion might be contaminated.
