HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
/ BATIKED RUG

House Beautiful created this wonderful article on a one-day living room makeover. It’s so much fun to get to see the transformation take place, you don’t want to miss out on this one! The thing that really caught my eye, right after the beautiful color palette and the bold patterns, was the amazing indigo and white tie dyed rug. Fab isn’t it??

Natural Glamour in NYC Apartment

May 14, 2011 in Beige, Celebrity Homes, Classic, Eclectic, Glamorous, Hottest Designers, Living room, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Natural

This is the New York apartment of British born Guinness heiress Daphne Guiness. Designed by Daniel Romualdez, this apartment is a sweet union of nature and glamour. Just the way we (or at least I) like it.

With dark high gloss hardwood floors and a ceiling covered in shimmery wallpaper, the walls are painted a rosy shade of beige. Red accents adds a pinch of spice to this soft palette. Notice Daphne’s collection of crystals displayed throughout the room.

The opposite end of the same room features a mirrored wall and a cherry red velvet sofa. How lovely! I wouldn’t mind the David LaChapelle photograph either.

This floor-to-wall painting by British artist Damien Hirst took my breath away when I first saw it. Isn’t it lovely?

Hirst is the Artist who suspended a Tiger Shark in Formaldehyde (how do you feel about that?), I’m sure you have all seen it. His butterfly paintings are available here.

You can see the rest of Daphne’s beautiful apartment on Architectural Digest, included her “hall of mirrors” =)

beige blue green coastal style living room design

Design by J. Savage Gibson, image via My Home Ideas

Here is a beautiful beige living area accented with blue and green. Notice how the color scheme in this room is built up in three “layers”:

  • The Beige works as a warm neutral background.
  • Teal is layered on in furniture, area rug and accessories.
  • Green is limited to the accents.

Do you see it? The result is a harmonious and pulled together room. Apart from forming a great color relationship with blue, the green adds interest and pulls your eye throughout the room. How about you? Do you think in terms of layering when you decorate?
