Karin Orzol Guide to Multitasking Home Decor for Women
At Ethos Store, we’re inspired by all the women who seamlessly balance multiple roles as professionals, caregivers, and friends. They wear countless hats and make juggling the demands of life look easy.
We believe that your home decor should be just as versatile and multi-faceted. So, we’ve curated a collection that’s as multifaceted as you, filled with pieces that blend function with a little self-care magic.
To make sure your space is every bit as stylish as it is practical, we’ve teamed up with design expert Karin Orzol to share her top picks for a home that nurtures your spirit and your style.
The Inspiration Behind the Collection
Karin’s vision for this collection was born from the desire to blend aesthetics with practicality, ensuring that each piece not only elevates your space but also brings a sense of comfort and joy.
As Karin puts it, "It’s the extras that have a story, that are collected, that complete a look in your home. For me, it could be a cluster of different shaped vases, a collection of candles and candlesticks placed on a wooden board on your kitchen counter, or interesting decor that’s not the norm, like the felt vessels from Ethos Store."
This collection is all about those “extras”. The small, but significant, details that make your house feel like a home.
The Power of Luxurious Self-Care
We believe that women deserve to indulge in self-care every month.
There’s something undeniably luxurious about lighting a scented candle that fills your home with an inviting fragrance and sets the tone for relaxation. "I really love the feeling you get from having a signature scent in your home," Karin says.
"Lighting candles in gorgeous wooden or ceramic candle sticks makes my home cosy and inviting. And I think every woman feels the same about these small details!"
Vanilla Scented Soy Wax Candle
Our selection of scented candles, paired with our organic candlesticks and holders, transform any room into a sanctuary.
Whether you’re winding down after a long day or setting the mood for an intimate dinner, these pieces add warmth and character to your space.
Versatility Meets Beauty with Our Wooden Bowls, Aluminium Trays, and Glass Vases
Our wooden bowls and aluminium trays are the subtle standouts in any home decor.
Karin is a big advocate for thinking outside the box with these items. "Cool bowls and trays have so many uses—they don’t just have to be used for what they were intended for. A gorgeous fruit bowl could be in your entrance hall for all your keys and change. Move them into other rooms in your home and find a use for them, or simply enjoy them as beautiful pieces of decor."
Round Black Powder Coated Aluminium Tray
Karin also loves using these pieces in unconventional ways, like using a wooden board as a tray in the bathroom for hand soap and cream, or arranging aluminium bowls on a wall as art. The possibilities are endless!
As for our glass vases, they’re not just vessels for flowers (although they’re great for that too).
They’re sculptural pieces that can be clustered together to create a stunning visual impact. "A cluster of different shaped vases can add that perfect touch of elegance to any room," Karin says.

Embrace the Joy of Impractical Decor
Not all decor needs to serve a practical purpose. Sometimes, the best pieces are those that simply bring you joy.
Karin shares her love for the oversized felt gourds in our collection. "They aren’t exactly practical, but they have so much character! They’re over-sized and bold, and they carry a unique charm that’s hard to resist."
These felt gourds are perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your space. Whether you display them on a mantel or simply place them in a corner, they add an element of surprise and delight.
Balancing Style and Budget
Karin’s final piece of advice is about embracing style without breaking the bank. “So many people think that it costs a fortune to decorate your home,” she says, “And it really doesn’t have to!
"It’s about how you put everything together, how you play with colours, how you arrange your furniture, and lighting is key," she says.
With our carefully curated collections, you can mix and match pieces that speak to you, creating a home that’s both stylish and personal without sacrificing your budget.
Take a cue from Karin Orzol and embrace the details that make your space uniquely yours with our collection. After all, it’s these thoughtful touches that turn a house into a home.
