It’s our first { Featured Friday } here on The Mill : Blog, and what better way to start off than featuring The Beach People towel.

These towels are the hottest new items all over social media and at The Mill : Design + Home. The Beach People towels are "the original roundies" or round beach towels that come in four chic, beachy prints. Also available with a genuine leather strap holder, for easy accessibility while you’re out at the beach or by the pool. Be able to keep those sandy towels out of your beach bag by rolling them up in the strap.

At The Mill, we are swooning over all of our new accent chairs!  An easy way to spruce up any room is with a new vignette, easily styled with one of our accent chairs that is stylish, yet doesn't compromise comfort + function.  Scandinavian style decor, like these chairs, is hitting America by storm right now! From Panton, Eames, to Rattan chairs… this is a great way to easily emphasize a fresh appeal in your living room, office, or even your dining area. Mixing and matching styles keeps things interesting! Throw a sheep skin in any of them and you've just created the chic'est corner in your room. 

While these mid-century modern styles may, at first glance, seem too retro or modern for your space, they pair nicely in traditional settings as well. With versatility in mind, these chairs can go in virtually any setting…even outdoors. Take a peek below at how we've used these chairs and for additional inspiration!
