Friday Inspiration

It’s time for Friday’s one picture post :), but wait to see what picture! It’s a delightful living room, airy and light, with an insanely gorgeous settee, enormous windows, a calming fireplace, eclectic and stylish – are you intrigued? That room feels like a collection of different eras’ details as it has bits of classic glamour, modern designs and I even spied touches of Scandinavian! Can you believe all that together? You’re definitely intrigued now, right? :)

Have a fabulous Friday, loves! xo

Black & white home office

My love affair with black and white is a known issue for everyone, so nothing too shocking in this post. I mean not shocking as you could guess I’ll be dying over this post’s chicness. Confession: I have never seen such a fabulous home office designed around black and white. Seriously, it’s to die for – Nina from Stylizimo is my new idol (her home office we’re speaking about). As every black and white space, this home office is simple yet not simplistic, it’s very inspiring and laid back, it’s comfy and serene – could not ask for more, don’t you agree?

I see zebras on the wall

Ok, not really, it was a sort of an intro :). I’m so in love with the well-known zebra wallpaper, aren’t you? It’s so very cool, whimsical, but traditional all at the same time. The best it’s that it can fit any room, but truth to be told I’ve seen it mostly in bathrooms and I’m not sure why. I would gladly use it in a living room or even a kid’s room – what do you think?

Kate Spade used it in her bathroom, Miles Redd decorated with it, so I guess it’s worth giving it a try. Would you?

Happy Monday!

To SMEG or not to SMEG?

By now you figured what will the post be about, right? The legendary fridge, coveted by so many, afforded by fewer, but absolutely loved by all – SMEG. Today these refrigerators come in every possible color which makes it even cooler than it actually is. You can choose mint, pink, black or cream or you can have them all –  I would, because they’re that delicious! So what do you say – to Smeg or not to Smeg? :)

Color+Inspiration: Crayola Taupe

I have the feeling that even though tangerine was named the color of 2012 we’ll be seeing a lot of nude and I’m pretty sure taupe will be among the trendsetters this season. And not every taupe nuance, but crayola taupe which is close the Chanel Particuliere, you know the nail polish? It’s just as soothing as pale pink/peach is (less feminine perhaps), but it’s so much more modern in my opinion – I guess I’ve seen a lot of soft pales lately. Earthy colors will always be a good alternative to any color, so while we’re at backups, let’s make the best of them! Yay for taupe!

Reading nook

The simplicity of a reading nook makes it tempting and doable at the same time. Two things are needed: chair (a comfy one while we’re at it) and a lamp. It should be tasteful and attractive, but you won’t need to splurge to get the look. Sounds great to me! Oh, a faux fur throw is optional, but recommended – you know, for a cozy feeling :). Here are two images that are perfection in my book – exactly what I think of when I hear ‘reading nook’.

Creative work spaces

While I admit that creative doesn’t always mean uncluttered and neat (and I’m now in a very minimalistic mood) I do love to see inspiring, creative offices where ideas flow from each inch of the space: from layered rugs to mixed textures to enormous moodboards and shelves with books – I mean one has to be brave to do all this at once, don’t you think? And since in this phase of my life I’m not much of an experimenter decor wise I’m totally fine with staring at this from aside.

Chinoiserie chic & happy weekend

I never wrote about chinoiserie which is totally weird because I adore it and feel utterly inspired by the colors and motifs. So I thought today would be a good day since it’s Friday and I find this a relaxing topic, full of beauty and lovely patterns.

I’m wishing you a wonderful weekend and sending many hugs your way!

Windows to inspire

For as long as I can remember myself I’ve been a fan of huge windows and the impact they have on a room. There is something castle-like about them and how can one not feel majestic when surrounded by ceiling to floor windows? The amount of light big windows can let in can also have a great impact on you especially if you’re feeling under the weather every once in a while – I know light helps me! And last, but not least let’s not forget about how gorgeous they look!

On my mind: Electric blue

That’s one more of my color addictions. I hear everywhere people speaking about winter blues – for me it’s the electric blue that rocks this season because: a. its brightness makes me think of summer; b. it sounds cooler. Yes, it’s that simple. I love it how well electric blue looks in fashion industry too – it’s a statement color all around. But I guess it takes courage to use it, especially in home decor as its striking hue can look really bright and the question is: do you have the guts to commit to such a color?
