Home Decor Expert: Honeybee Homes
Photographer: Gabriel Burgos
In the ’60s, home decor was all about lava lamps, paisley prints and bright colors. The ’70s brought in shag carpets and wicker furniture, while the ’90s leaned into muted color palettes. No matter the decade—or even the season—home trends are always evolving.
So, what’s hot right now? According to Laura Bleacher and Robin Taylor—the mother-daughter duo behind South Tampa’s new decor and furnishings store, Honeybee Home™—today’s trends are all about striking a balance between comfort, personality and practicality.
Performance fabrics are a favorite feature in Honeybee Home’s sofa collection—and for good reason, say Bleacher and Taylor. “Once known for being stiff and utilitarian, today’s performance textiles have come a long way,” they say. “They’re now soft, luxurious and incredibly stylish—yet still offer the durability, stain resistance and easy maintenance that busy households need.”
When it comes to wall art, two styles are leading the way: botanical prints and modern graphic designs. “Whether your taste leans earthy or edgy, there’s something for every aesthetic,” they note.
Lighting is no longer just functional—it can also serve as a statement piece. “Sculptural pendants, oversized chandeliers and layered lighting all help to create depth, warmth and mood,” they explain. “It’s about making every room feel intentional and inviting.”
Whether you’re updating your space with a fresh lighting piece or adding a splash of color through wall art, you can find plenty of options that blend personal style with comfort and beauty—just like those featured at Honeybee Home.
