When it comes to the decor of my living space I like to make sure there is a small corner of my apartment dedicated to creating a laid back, relaxed ambience - nothing too bright, but certainly not beige either. I think of it as an area to indulge in chic grey hues and warm, earthy tones mixed in with glass pendants and metal lamps. That's what I love about colour, you can create uplifting and vibrant spaces using poppy brights, and in the same corner of that room a simple white desk, metal lamp and sage chevron rug can create a space to gather thoughts and clear your mind. Whenever I need inspiration for these spaces I check out both the myles henry blog and these roving eyes - both a dead cert for inspiring in this area of decor. Here's what has my decor taste buds all a riot...

Fabulous lighting...I'm waiting to have a house big enough to buy something like those grey pendants
ReplyDeleteLove the old worn wooden tables - I am fan of cottage style and there just seems to be something so inviting about this type of furniture. I agree - color can do so much if handled correctly. Have a lovely day enjoy the sun and clear skies. =)
ReplyDeleteWill I adore your choices and that filament globe is divine.
ReplyDeleteI have a Chinese Screen I am thinking of painting to put behind my bed!

ReplyDeleteI really like the lamp on the first photo. Where it is from? Let me know.
ReplyDeleteBy lamp do you mean the black, modern chandelier? I am not too sure where it's sold I'm afraid, but this one from Pottery Barn has similarities: http://tinyurl.com/y5evkdr hope that helps.
