What makes a well-dressed man? Details.
The Double Windsor. The eccentric sock. The statement cufflink.
What makes a well-dressed home? Same thing.
Where to find those details: Gather Home + Lifestyle, the city’s new destination for high design and thoughtfully curated home goods, open now in Wicker Park.
Gather is as squeaky clean as it gets. Your house probably had a poster of Gather on its wall when it was an impressionable young kid house.
So we paid ’em a visit to find the seven things you need to make your home complete.
Modernica Case Study Cylinder Planter
Houseplants say this man is responsible. Caring. Into oxygen. They also look good. Especially if you pot it in one of these standing planters from Modernica. Snake plants look best.
Mexchic Embroidered Wool Blanket
Every living room needs a throw blanket. This minimal wool number will go a long way in adding texture and warmth slung over a chair or couch.
Arrowhead Hairpin Side Table
Handmade in Raleigh, North Carolina, these side tables add a touch of sophistication to any setting. Metal and wood: always a good idea.
