I’m loving teal as an alternative to green or blue or even these bright neon hues that are now everywhere – from furniture to wallpapers all the way to fashion! I kind of like how neon looks, however in hopes of being a trendsetter I now pronounce teal the new neon! And why not? Teal can look elegant, sophisticated (heck, yeah!) and not least very sexy! I think this color is slow, but steady becoming my go to shade (I really have this strong feeling that teal fever is yet to come in interior design world). Here I am, anticipating the trend with some inspiration:
Bulbs instead of chandeliers? Heck, yeah!
I’m liking the idea of having hanging bulbs as light fixtures, you know? As much as I love chandeliers (proof here) I sort of think it’s time to bring something new and modern into this. Plus, for some reason the huge bulbs are SO Scandinavian in my opinion and I couldn’t love it more, the look of an oversized bare bulb hanging over a dining table (add some vintage chairs while we’re at it) and you get a picture perfect dining area! Well, bulbs look equally good elsewhere, here’s some inspiration:
Home tour: Caribbean dream
This home makes me happy! You know the feeling when you come across a home that is feast for your eyes and just the thought of living in puts on a big smile on your face? Well, I have this feeling quite often and just when I thought it can’t get better – I stumble upon Adore home magazine‘s new issue! And in there is this home called “Caribbean dream” which is just as colourful as you might imagine, with patterns galore – a true tropical fiesta! Here’s a glimpse at it:
Wood and baby blue
So we’re back again – hello, Monday! As much as I wish the weekend would last longer, I’m well aware this won’t happen (not this week, at least – might happen next week as I’m having my vacation!). To kick off this week I decided write about something that will brighten my days a bit (with all the rain we’ve had for the past 10 days), so some breezy baby blue will do the trick. Even more when this color is perfectly (and unexpectedly) stylized with wood and some pretty vintage details. And what can be better than vintage, right?
Lost in the desert
I know this editorial shot for the latest issue of Rue won’t be a new thing for you, but it’s just too good to be skipped. I loved it, seriously – it’s the highlight of the entire issue, at least for me. The dreamy setting, the soft and natural color palette, the camel and the sophisticated glamour knocked me off. I couldn’t resist posting it here, I think it’s the perfect weekend inspiration! Have a good one, loves!
Soft salmon
To make sure we understood each other – it’s the color salmon I’m speaking of in this post. Don’t you just love the peach-y, coral-y and absolutely sexy nuance? To me it screams freshness, summer breeze and a very not-your-average feminine color. I’d love to know how do you feel about this color, as I’m pretty sure it will be around for some time, next to coral (that I’m dying for – you know that, right?). If you ask me what’s the new black, I know what I’m going to answer!
New week, new beginnings
Welcome to a new week, darlings! Today I decided to keep it simple, not many words – I’ll leave it all to feelings that are so much more important. My loves, be happy you’re embracing a new week, be grateful and don’t take life for granted, look at the bright side and remember that everything happens for a reason. P.S. Don’t miss the 6th issue of Rue today – I for one cannot wait!
Love affair with: PLUM color
Not sure what has gotten onto me these days, but I’m having a serious crush on plum color. Perhaps it’s because of its elegance and deep sexiness, one thing is clear – with a white background, a pop of plum looks gorgeous and very royal! I’m liking the idea of a Scandinavian inspired room where it’s all so clean and minimalist with a statement piece in a deep plum shade – sounds delicious, right?
Summer house with a Scandinavian twist
And here I am again asking myself what do Swedish and Danish people have that we all don’t? Is it something about the air or we’re simply meant to be different? You’re probably wondering why am I asking this, right? Well, have you seen better homes than those in Sweden and Denmark? Whether we’re speaking about interior designers or just people who like to decorate, they’re equally talented and the outcome (i.e. homes) is just stunning! I’ve been featuring lots of Scandinavian home tours here on the blog, so here is one more, a summer house to die for!
