Walls that set the tone

 What is the most easy renovation you can do at home? In addition to replacing movable objects like furniture and decoration the most effective way to add character to any room is wallpaper. There are wallpapers that are easily pasted on walls and replaced when you want to change them and with a bespoke design you can achieve the personalisation that makes your home unique.

Have a look at some interesting suggestions from the last Maison&Objet:

The Modern Bathroom - Trends and Ideas

 The modern bathroom, no doubt, is colorful. And we have enormous possibilities for choice between designs and materials - have a look at just two of my photos from the latest Salone del Mobile:

If I had to design a bathroom for myself today, I would use probably this corner bath tub:

OFURO1 by Antonio Lupi

In addition to its elegant lines it also seems to be the most comfortable and easy to use, in combination with the same INDIGO taps, towel warmer Rigo and these tiles:

But, on the other hand I like a lot the modern trend for more color and texture, which most often brings also coziness in any interior, including bathrooms:

How do you like this brave use of different materials and colors? 

There is another modern trend for more use of travertine in interior designs:

This is the second bathroom in a house at the Black Sea coast I did

Can you see how natural light enhances the colorsand textures in this bathroom? I would be happy to use it every day :) It has another trend implemented, too - the one for rounded forms, which started a few years ago and now we see it everywhere.

Easy Styling

I hate boring interiors. And I am convinced that it is not expensive furniture that makes rooms look and feel stylish. Sometimes it is enough to add one interesting design item to completely change the look of a room. Or two :) - like in this one below:

But what is most important - select pieces that reflect how you live, what you value, and the atmosphere you wish to create. And combine them tastefully - a showcase of your favorite collections could be a great way to create this stylish loook, even in the kitchen/dining room:

Paints can be the easiest way to make an architectural element more interesting or add colorful accent to a simple interior:

More decorating ideas in my post.

One of my favorite ways to easily renovate a room and add your style is wallpaper. In this project I used bamboo wallpaper to define the dinig area and color glass for the kitchen door - that was the desire of the owner:

Easy Bathroom Renovation

One of the easiest ways to refresh your bathroom - even without replacing the lower section of your tiles - is to place wallpaper above it:

Or, by placing a beautiful waterproof wallpaper on one of the walls:

As you can see this can even be a reproduction a famous painting!

“Cluttercore” Trend

seems to be the new popular trend in interior design or decoration. How does that sound to you? For me it is quite near what appears to be my personal style at home. 

According to ELLE Decor "Cluttercore" means to make your apartment look strategically cluttered rather than carelessly messy:

This library photo looks very much like mine :)

This is a functional style that is created by tasteful arrangement of what you own and love through thematic or visual relationships and layering with some order in the chaos.

How do you like it? If you wish to create this style in your home - call me!

 

Inspiration for a beautiful home

Sometimes I find things for the home that I want to share - just as an inspiration :) Like this beautiful lamp, but also the whole setting:

Or  this unexpected color scheme for an elegant kitchen - how do you like it?
