Contemporary lighting « Interior Design blog - 2 views

  • Spidey-Sense This one-of-a-kind contemporary lighting fixture resembles an eerie spider with long-reaching “arms” and “legs” outfitted with spotlights.
  •  
    Traditional lighting has reigned supreme for decades but it's only been more recently that designers have looked outside the lightbox and reinvented a myriad of lighting fixtures - today there's no shortage of contemporary lighting to choose from. Created like works of art and used as task as well as accent lighting, here are eight modish fixtures that demonstrate the wide range of stylish possibilities.

Mirror Mirror…On The Floor | homestilo - 0 views

  • This floor mirror helps expand the sense of space in this small dining area and enhances the lovely hanging light fixture over the table. Choosing a mirror color that is similar to wall and/or curtains helps the frame blend with the other elements in the room. If you want a bigger impact, paint the mirror a color that contrasts with other colors in your room.
  •  
    We have one in an unusable corner in our living room. It adds light and life to an otherwise blah corner. Light fixtures of all kinds look beautiful when their light is reflected in these massive mirrors. One word about propping up a floor mirror. If it is a heavy mirror or you have small kids running around, you may want to attach the mirror to the wall with a brace or a hook to keep it from falling over.

Accent Lighting for Wall Art - 0 views

  • Depending on the size and location of your wall art, you may be able to use wall sconces to highlight the piece. Upward pointing or downward pointing wall sconces can both work well for highlight wall art.
  •  
    Few areas of home decor are as intriguing as the wall art a person has chosen. However, few people choose to properly light their wall art (or even realize that their wall art needs to be lighted to begin with). The combination of home accessories and decor, color palettes and various furnitures are completely worthless without proper lighting. When picking out these home accessories, you should also consider picking out just the right lighting to go along with it.

Modern Sophistication in New York City's Upper West Side - 1 views

  • The minimal, contemporary dining room allows the impressive Manhattan skyline to take center stage.

Working with a young, sophisticated family in the Upper West Side, Herrera transformed a blank slate into a comfortable, kid-friendly home that exudes an unquestionably chic, cozy and polished sense of style.

How to Create a Dream Master Bedroom - 2 views

  • It’s often advised against picking the color palette first. However, you can pick a sample color palette to help you find the right accessories for the space. In short, this just means carrying around a few paint chips with you as you look at home accessories and decor for the master bedroom. Don’t throw any paint on the wall or make any concrete decisions about color until you’ve purchased everything necessary for the space.
  •  
    The bedroom is often a neglected space when it comes to home decor and decorating the space. It's not necessarily that there aren't any home accessories for the space; but rather it's a combination of issues: not enough time, not enough money, not enough energy.

  • Love this chic, feminine window shade that gathers in the middle. It is a softer option than a Roman shade yet more structured than curtains.

DESIGN my heart out: guest post: Brilliant Hues - 1 views

  • Brilliant orange chairs pop against the aqua of the beautiful wallpaper in this SF dining room. Love the clarity of the orange; it has a lot of white in it.
  • Love the pops of brilliant color based off of the beautiful modern portrait in this Hollywood Regency style living room. Jewel tone fuchsia and yellow look amazing next to gold accents. Love the asymmetrical look of the chandelier used in this space.
  •  
    My focus today is on brilliant hues, those colors that zing with intensity, adding energy and style to a space. These intense colors can have a big impact in a room so if you aren't feeling brave and bold, use them as accent colors in decorative accessories or lighting fixtures.

Inspiration Friday: Beach House Blues « Design Shuffle Blog - 2 views

  • Rich blue hues mixed with organic accents like rope-sewn ottomans and a stately raw wood coffee table creates a distinct beach house feel in this living room design.

    Interior designs that follow specific themes make creating stylish spaces all the easier. A specific color scheme, a few pieces of great furniture, and just the right amount of details and a space becomes instantly sophisticated.

  •  
    If you think of Prince or the Purple Pieman when you think of purple, these rooms that use sophisticated shades of purple should change your mind.

Home Decor: Fall Design Trends - 1 views

  • Updating home accessories and decor is the simplest way to update the overall look of any room in your home. Home accessories, being relatively inexpensive, are an easy way to incorporate changing interior design and home decor trends into your space. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to invest in trends in pieces that can easily be swapped out as they change, rather than investing in large, trendy items. Here are some of this fall’s trendiest home decor items and ideas.
  • Eclectic Looks This year, eclectic items that are mixed and matched in a single space are extremely trendy. For example, a living room in which this style is used could include a fireplace mantel that features a Buddha head, apothecary jars, tea light candles, a hanging oval mirror and an assortment of African style carved statues. The eclecticism makes the space visually interesting. The great thing about this particular home decor trend is that it can be incorporated into a number of styles. There are dozens of different takes and you simply can’t choose the wrong item when it comes to eclectic looks.

Pink Stinx: Asparagus Green in Home Decor - 1 views

  • Pinterest Bold colors on upholstery are anything but boring. Love the asparagus green velvet on this button tufted sofa. So fun!.
  •  
    Asparagus green is a gorgeous, bright shade of green that makes a great color for home décor. It can be an intense wall color for a bold look or used as an accent in light fixtures or decorative accessories for a splash of rich color. However it is used, asparagus green in home décor is a stylish color that has a lot of versatility.

In.good.style: Guest Blog: Fantastic Vintage Spaces - 1 views

  • Vintage is a hot, hot, hot design trend right now. Maybe it is the economy making us rethink all brand new furniture and accessory purchases; or maybe we are tired of the cookie-cutter sameness of showroom furniture. Whatever the reason, adding vintage finds in lighting fixtures, furniture and accessories, makes for fantastic design and fantastic vintage spaces. Here are some of our favorite vintage inspired spaces.
  • PinterestA dining room/library is full of vintage charm with pieces from different eras and styles. Mixing Tulip chairs and a Capiz shell lighting fixture with an antique dining table equals big vintage style.

Wall Art We Love - 1 views

  • One of the best home accessories you could ever hope to buy is wall art. Wall art can be a great way to accent a room or display a collection. It’s also a great way to get around the restrictions specific to apartment-dwelling since most won’t let you paint your walls. But never fear…
  • Quint Essence This is a great example of using a very large, blown-up picture to create the effect of an accent wall. These are typically stretched out pieces of canvas that are adhered to the wall.

Love at first sight: Hallways {Guest Post} | First Sense - 1 views

  • A hallway sets the tone for the entire house – it is the first and last area of the home that a visitor will see, and this is why designing a stunning entrance is so important. Beautiful patterns/colours, a unique design, and great lighting will make all the difference in creating a gorgeous entrance to fall in love with. Here is a selection of hallways in different styles to inspire.
  • A touch of nature Sticking to a theme helps to create an elegant entryway, as evidenced here with an antler-inspired ceiling light, organic touches such as the framed branches and potted plants, as well as the neutral colour palette.
  •  
    Hallway is also an important space to show your interior design passion!

We're happy to share some of our favorite ways to add mid-century modern touches to any décor.
  • Interior Style Along with mid-century modern furniture, mid century modern textiles are a chic way to add mid-century modern touches to a room, sofa, bed or table. Marimekko, the Finnish textile company, sells its mid-century patterned fabrics still today.

It all comes down to choosing the right color turquoise for your style. Check out these interior spaces with turquoise walls and be inspired!
