Gifts For the Home: Home Design Accessories, Art and More
Cambria Home Decor
Cambria strives for innovation and incorporates sustainability in multiple ways outside of just how their material is manufactured. They reincorporate unused Cambria material back into the manufacturing process which then creates an entirely new Cambria design. Cambria has also launched the Cambria Life + Style brand which is Cambria’s Home Decor collection created and designed from repurposed Cambria material.

A Ceramic Centerpiece
If you are looking for a gift for that hard to shop for person, Alissa Johnson Interiors recommends the Spitzy Centerpiece from Arteriors, available through Casa Bella. This ceramic centerpiece with an ivory finish, is doused in soft hand-applied beads for a unique design. $390
We love that the hand-applied beads give each piece their own unique look. And even though it’s a beautiful dish, it’s also very usable and perfect for entertaining!
