You don’t understand the happiness I get when I see plum hued sofas…

Or grape chairs or any shade of purple in upholstery. A nice contrast to the white piece. This is also a good idea for families. You know that one family member who has the white room all decked out in its monochromatic pureness? And then said family member dares someone to step foot in it as the room is for visual eye candy only. Well, if they took a cue from this room and added a darker richer tone, they could actually enjoy their space. Just make everyone sit on the couch with color. Instead of a solid white rug, opt for one that has some color patterns. That way the room can actually function and not feel like a museum.

Friday’s Fabulous Floors: chevron stained wood, geometric painted, Moroccan tiled, checkerboard etc

image

The above entry designed by Thom Filicia brought something to my attention. I love a bold floor. It draws your eyes through out the space and makes major impact. Certainly not for everyone but I can appreciate it. But I already knew that. It just made me realized I’ve gather quite a few fab floor images into my Pinterest archives. So I decided to add something new to the old series of mine. Indulge…

Boutique Indulgences: Milly Ny

I saved these images of Milly’s NY boutique via Matchbook Mag a while back and never posted. How gorgeous is it though? Really busy wallpaper isn’t really my thing but I love this above. So Parisian-esque and I can envision it in a lady’s DRESSING ROOM or POWDER ROOM. Those are the areas where you can really go crazy bold because you don’t spend tons of time in them.

Back to the boutique’s interior, it’s complete luxe and glam. Filled with feminine and geometric wallpaper patterns, crystal chandeliers, moldings, animal prints, gold finishes, mirrored tables, plush magenta and plum hued sofas and chairs, some of which are TUFTED. Just tons of fabulousness.

She even sells kids clothes. Look at this pic I found on her site.

Adorable.

Color Connection: Black & White w/Icy Blue Hues…

{Recycled Cosign & Design}

I like unexpected accent colors when designing black and white spaces and this icy blue hue is a pretty compliment. Ever since I did the post on BAMBOO FURNITURE, I always see them in other interiors. Kind of like when you buy a new car and you don’t really see much of it until after  you’ve bought it. Then all of a sudden everybody has the same car!! SideNote: You can click on links to anything in this post or others that’s in all caps & underlined. It’s basically other posts I’ve done about said underlined topic…

Black & White bathrooms can be kind of cold and although I would not want this for myself personally, I can appreciate the classic approach with the floor & SUBWAY TILE

{Designed by Diane Bergeron}

I love this little seating area. The CHEVRON print rug on top of BLACK FLOORS, black lamp shaded chandelier, the white piping on the sofa, massive window & the Ikat & MOORISH patterned pillows is giving me everything. You know already how I feel about TRAYS and this snake skin one is a very stylish one…

Pattern Love: Geometric Designs…

{Domino Magazine}

One thing I’m noticing in design is geometric patterns from graphic design to interior design. To me it makes certain things look structured and classic…

{Harchow}

Here’s what I like about the space. The geometric moldings and powder blue tufted sofa and how the neutral zebra rug is echoed in the pillows…

The grasscloth wallpaper adds texture and the kelly green chair & boxes add splashes of color…

No this isn’t Mariah Carey’s bedroom but whoever gets to indulge in these sheets nightly is very lucky…

Love the pops of color…

BumbleBee Buzzworthy Interiors…

I’m really not the light bright yellow fan but I do love when the color is paired with black & white or gray. Here are some fabulously designed spaces using the bumblebee color pallete. Indulge…
Newlyweds home eclectic bedroom
This crocodile chair with grommet detailing is hot. I love everything about it. Such a rough texture in comparison to the other plush & sheer materials of the bedding. Chandeliers are always great but you know my fondness of black ones as I’ve blogged about here.
Newlyweds home traditional bathroom
 
I want this window treatment (not color per se) because I find the structure to be uber feminine & romantic.
Newlyweds home traditional bedroom
 
Something as simple as the stitching in a chair cover can be used to pull color inspiration. I must get a mirrored vanity in my life. It’s all sorts of glam…
