Easy way to elevate your home…decorative vent covers!

February 9, 2023 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

If you have followed me for a while you know I am all about the details.  Small details are the things that add up to make your home have that custom feel that you don’t see everywhere.  These “details” don’t have to be expensive, you just have to be intentional with them.  One very easy way to add charm and elevate your home is by switching out your standard vent covers to decorative vent covers.  I did it in our home and love the results!

One of my huge goals with our new build was for it not to seem “new”.  I wanted it to have a classic, historic feel where you couldn’t tell if it was new or an older home that was remodeled.  I had seen vent covers in design magazines and older homes and knew I had to incorporate that into our new home.

I discovered SABA HOME DECOR and they had exactly what I was looking for.  Saba Home Decor offers a wide variety of vent covers for your home.  Made of acrylic plexiglass, these vents can withstand extreme temperatures and have no rusts, corrosion or mold.  They come in a variety of styles, colors and sizes.  Also available in custom sizes.

I chose the white Venetian style.  They come in a bunch of pre-set sizes, but if you don’t find what you are looking for you can order a custom size.  I just measured my current vents and ordered the same size because I knew they would cover the opening.  There are 2 ways to hang them, you can use screws or silicone.  I chose the screw route.  I wanted to be able to remove them easily if I needed to get in the vent for any reason.  I have never had to do that in the past, but just in case.  You can also hang them as is, but I wanted them to perfectly match my paint so I painted them the same Sherwin Williams Alabaster.

Here you can see the decorative vent next to the standard vent as we were changing them out. The decorative one looks so much better!

When I shared on Instagram I got asked if they can be angled to affect the air flow. . .they cannot.  They are flat and just cover the vent hole.  For me, this is no big deal.  I am not a person that adjusts the flow or angle of my vents ever.  I did not use a decorative vent cover on my vents that had filters.  I used the standard ones put in by my builder in that area.

While these vents are absolutely beautiful, they do not have to be used everywhere.  My advice is to start with the main vents in your home that everyone can see.  Changing those out with really elevate your space.  Then you can add more from there.  

All these small details make a huge impact on the look of your home.  I put the vents in the main rooms of our home where they make the biggest impact.  I am so happy with this simple change and love looking at vents now.  Taking something that is typically an eye sore and making it beautiful makes me so happy!

Thank you so much to SABA Home Decor for collaborating with me on this post.  I absolutely love these vents.

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!
