Just Looking At This LA Townhouse Will Lower Your Cortisol Levels

Erika Carlock's Los Angeles townhouse is a millennial pink dreamscape, filled floor to ceiling with cool details. Here, Carlock, who shares the space with her fiancé, shares the easiest way to revamp a room, some clutch coloring tips, and the key to crafting a home that feels like a vacation.

Earthy, colorful, and cozy.

The colors shift over the seasons with pops of earthy tones like mustard and peach in the fall, lots of plush blankets in the winter, and of course more bright colors in the summer!

Keep it consistent! Choose a few colors and neutrals that go well together, and stick to them. In my space I really play up the neutrals with lots of whites and light woods and then add in sprinkles of color using textiles, vases, and wall art.

We just got new globe lights in our dining area and hallway, and I'm obsessed! Swapping out lights in apartments is one of my favorite ways to give a temporary space a more homey, modern feel.

I'm always burning candles! Usually there are scents of sandalwood in the air, fresh-brewed coffee, and a bit of sage.

A lot of the prints on the walls are from the travels we've been on together, and they hold such good memories. One of my favorites is from Tulum; it brings me to that place of relaxation from that trip each time I see it.

The bedroom, definitely! I'm either lounging and reading a book on the bed or doing my favorite activity: sleeping!

My home is really a bright, peaceful sanctuary full of plants. I really wanted the bedroom to be calming and relaxing, so I went with an airy white and peach palette and removed the TV from our room, so it really is a place to unplug and unwind.

Friends always ask me if they can either move in or have me decorate their space!
