This is a fun girly space perfect for a teen. Prime example of not taking design too seriously. I found this on Pinterest but someone uploaded it from their phone so I don’t know the source. The pink ottoman is gorge.

Need a surface spot alongside the tub? Try stools….
I barely have enough depth on the tub’s rim in my apt which sucks because I’d love to have decorative soaps and apothecary jars alongside it. However one chic way to get additional surface space is adding a small table, ottoman or stool. It’s great for holding brushes and magazines or even candles!

Remember when I posted these interiors…
I was in awe of this room for bursting with pattern and color. It just seems like a happy space. So imagine my thrill when I stumbled across the other half as seen below…
And I first talked about the banquette for it’s striped curtain panels so when I inspected the pic below I realized….hey, I blogged about this space before. The kitchen is incredibly bright and the mint & white palette makes this space great for cooking Sunday brunch. Such bright areas this time around. I think this “remember when” post should be a new series since I’ve done a few so far here & here .

Just some interiors I’m loving + space saving solutions while getting more seating…
I love the gallery wall. Just a nice cluster of mirrors and black and white photography. Even with the combination of black and bronze frames, it works. The second thing I love most is the mixture of pillows which is by far the easiest way to help inject texture and color to a space. And they’re so cost effective too that you can almost go crazy. Pillows help hide worn out sofas or stains etc. Play with the sizes and fabric. Adding a scarf is always a nice touch to keep things pulled together and not appear sloppy. Design Tip: Use branches from the outdoors to add to a vase with faux floral stems. Sometimes you can spend a pretty penny if you buy enough floral stems to get a full look especially when they go from $6 and up per stem. So adding branches (free) adds a nice effect. Spray paint them to look like these.
I like the usage of space. If you’re dealing with a smaller scaled apartment or living room, don’t feel as though you have to have a full 3 piece set. As a matter of fact, try to avoid buying sets if you can. I know most times it’s cheaper. I know it’s easier. But if you can swap out that last chair for a different, style, color or textile, you’ll make the space more interesting. Nothing worse than a room looking as if it was all bought from (insert store catalogue here). Maybe put that extra chair in the bedroom to create a reading area. Maybe the love seat is better served elsewhere like the basement for his man cave. If you don’t have room, consider ottomons instead. They take up minimum space. Or use directors chairs as seen HERE. These are options that allows you adequate seating without the bulk….
Love the tribal textiles and mixing of patterns…
Another space saver solution that I love is ottomons, or cushion seats tucked neatly under a coffee table. More seating, no additional square footage needed. The tiger print is fabulous but I actually like everything about Cathy Triant Buxton’s living room…
Such a nice seating hallway area. If this is an entryway it’s definitely setting the right tone for the home. Do you play up your hallways or abandon them? What are your feelings on furniture pieces vs sets? How do you incorporate seating in a small space? I’d love to hear your thoughts

What is that, velvet?…
It’s almost that time of year where fashions have heavier textiles. Velvet and suede are some fabric choices that makes a home feel cozy, warm and plush…just like these interiors…

The TEAL WALL & NAILHEAD trim details makes this design gender neutral…
One of my favorite designers is Candace Olson of HGTV. She really knows how to maximize every inch of space and make it the most functional with traffic flows and adequate seating. This tufted back for the BENCH/CHAIR dining area is so jazzy & lounge like. Feels like something out of a club. Perfect for entertaining…
The velvet backing to this bench area is so dramatic and exudes sexiness in the space. Candace picked an incredible BLACK CHANDELIER to anchor the area…

Love this calm pastel pallete for an office setting. The chrome details of the studded trim on the chair is repeated in other accessories & lighting tying everything in…

Love this lucite & velvet ottoman. Reminds me of a blue version of J.Lo’s blush one. Zebra rugs always makes for fabulous flooring.
So what textiles do you plan to add to your home this fall? Do you add the plush throws in cooler seasons or leave them out year round?
