I dont’ know about you, but I have so many images in my files that I return to time and time again for inspiration. This is one of them. I absolutely love Bougainvillea – it reminds me of some of my most favorite places in the world – so for me, this photo captures pure [...]
This gorgeous space has been haunting me on Pinterest – every time I see it I fall in love all over again! Which is why it absolutely deserves a Room of the Week title, and a full tour! I think by this point we can safely say that I’m a traditional glamourist at heart when [...]
Benji Cassandra- I love, love, love this space (as I pin each photo). It might be a guy thing. I swear there must be something in the water in Spain, because this is the second Spanish designers I’ve come across with an incredible design aesthetic. Thanks for introducing me to Pablo Paniagua.
Lea Do you know the manufacturer of the rug? Thanks!
Joanna You’re right about the overstyling, it definitely needs a little breathing room throughout. Wow to that ceiling height, those windows and that raspberry couch!
Marissa I love this room, I blogged about it a couple weeks ago. I think I mainly love color palette. I definitely agree it could use some paring down in the accessories department but I forgive it since I love the rug so much.
melissa blake oh wow, the color of that couch is incredible!
Gretchen I count eleven tables and not one with enough room to comfortably host a cocktail! Definitely over styled. That said, I love the detail of the yellow back on some of the neutral pillows.
Suzy YUM!
Dana @ This Silly Girl's Life Wow, absolutely stunning.
Claudia I agree. The “idea” of the room is great, the unusual sofa, the pops of plum and raspberry but the execution is way overdone.
Maria @ All Things Luxurious I think this space is really beautiful — especially the colors. But my eye is going every which way, trying to find something to focus on! I do think a little simplifying could go a long way in this space as it seems just a tad overdone. Still, lots of gorgeous elements goin’ on in here!
Kayla I think I could handle the room – I’m just not sure everything would ever get back or stay in it’s place though. It’d be that room I just go stand in to feel fantastic.
Franki Since I’m “all about curves” (arches, spheres, etc.) the geometrics give me pause…you could do “wonders” with it though…. franki
maureen stevens Loving all the geometry & the symmetry of the space.And yes, the architectural details doesn’t hurt at all!
Lisa // Elembee Pretty sure I’d chuck out everything in front of the windows and sit in that raspberry sofa staring at the ocean all day.
Sarah | The Curated House The balance, scale and contrast are all perfect. Now it will haunt me, too, Cassandra! Thanks for sharing.

Was is just me, or was October a crazy little month? I have a feeling that things aren’t about to slow down either (I mean… the holidays are pretty much upon us, people) so today, I’m thinking we all deserve a room that – even if we can only go to in our heads – [...]
julie / loot design house This room has been in my files too! The wallcovering is TDF. xo
Laura Is that wallpaper? Do you know the source? Looks so warm, I love the texture it adds to the room.
Cassandra LaValle Post author yes it is, and i believe it’s phillip jeffries. the source should be in the elle decor story!
Hooper Patterson swoon is right!!!

hooper
wmbg insanely cozy.
Preciously Me Love this room ♥
It was already in my pinterest board! It was love at first sight for me too 
Love the colors, the headboards, the brass accent of the table …
I love it all!!!
Mina I love that mid-century style sofa at the foot of the bed. It’s such a clever idea! We have one just like it that we need to re-upholster… badly! But, once we do, this may not be a bad idea for our bedroom! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Patti Borrelli @ besostyle.blogspot Love the layers of textures. Cozy is key this time of year, right? Have a fab week!
Franki You know, I moved our setee’ from the living room to the foot of our bed and I sit there SO MUCH MORE than I ever did before. Now I’m going to move my outdoor lutyens bench to the foot of the guest room bed. Do it! franki
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures It’s STUNNING!
lexi I love everything about this room + I want that rug — it’s so fluffy!
Lexi @ Glitter, Inc.
Have you ever looked at your pins on pinterest and seen a reoccurring theme? It happens to me ALL the time. My eyes immediately go to the images that are matching up – usually due to a color or motif. So I thought it would be fun to share some of those with you in a new [...]
Squeak I love the bucket on the first model’s head!
mikky I agree with Squeak, I love that crazy hat! And the funky mirror is cool too.

Callie Grayson I seriously want that hat!

Maggie Rose Holy cow, that mirror is incredible!
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Can’t pick a fave, they are all so beautiful!
Franki That middle water color…OM….just gorgeous….reminds me of sailing, etc. franki
I’ve been noticing a trend for fall that isn’t exactly new, but it’s definitely still developing… The combination of deep burgundy or berry reds with pale blues. I have to say, I’m a fan. And I like the rule that as the one shade goes up, the other goes down… So that you always end [...]
Cecilia That is a really nice combo…makes me think of the fall.
Maria @ All Things Luxurious Love this! Can’t wait to implement it!
Madisson Been loving this one for awhile… I saw it on Hanneli Mustaparta last season and fell in love with the combination! Here’s the link in case you want to add to your catalogue of blue + burgundy inspiration!

Cassandra LaValle Post author oh, HECK YEAH. that is a good one!!!!
Jamie OMG! So stunning! I’m also loving those colors together in that ratio!
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures What an interesting combo! I had never thought about these 2 colors together, but I like it!
Maggie here, back with an inspiring home by designer Angie Hranowsky. From shades of blush to plum, and with shimmering accents and a kitchen to swoon over, this home has an elegant femininity without being too sweet. Natural textures and ethnic textiles keep a palette that is mostly purple from looking like a little girl’s [...]
Tina @ Tinacious Me i really like the those gold bowls too! what a great piece to have!
~ http://www.Tinacious.Me ~
Maria @ All Things Luxurious I love those edition of interiors to inspire! The tile you chose is so pretty!
Ana Cooks So cosy. So beautiful!
Tim@DesignMaze Love plum in that sitting room and how cozy, inviting, and worldly the room feels with all the textiles and wood tones in the room.
Karena Lovely Maggie. I would love to see the art wall above the den sofa! Love the use of the plum shades.
xoxo

lifeloveluxe Loving the shades of plum! I just painted my kitchen with Farrow & Ball “Brassica” and now, it’s my favorite room of the apartment! Terribly fun yet incredibly elegant.
Congrats on the new blogsite!
Denise What a beautiful home!
I think the key to having a purple or pink room come across as elegant rather than little-girly is to include natural elements like wood and stone.
Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie Gorgeous! Love the Mosaic Tile!

clayton gray home thanks maggie for including our morning dew vases in your plum look!
love the gold with it also!
Jackie The great room and den areas are so pretty and cozy. I could definitely live in those spaces!
Franki That is downright DELICIOUS!!! Gorgeous color!! franki
Sarah Carter Love it! The lamps and the armchairs are amazing… take a look at this collection, it might have things that you like, too.

Bethany {at} Powell Brower Home whoa! ive seen that kitchen a few times but never the room behind or attached to it. i love it even more!!!
Pingback: Best of homes and gardens this week |
It started with just a little dose. Richly colored peonies. A throw blanket…. Then it grew into accent pieces. Preferably with a touch of brass hardware, just to make things extra glamorous. But before I knew it, I was having a full on love affair. With fuschia. I mean, seriously? How could you not want [...]
celine [starbies and sangrias] holy moly!! that campaign dresser is amazing!!
Kristine Christianson I had the same progression. At first I was loving just a pop here and there and then I needed just a little more. And then more. And then I found that I couldn’t get enough fuchsia – I’m an addict!
The Pretty Pinhead I really love pops of color like this, especially for a smaller room in the house like you mentioned.
Yes, I found a gorgeous Fuchsia lipstick. It’s called Pomposity by MAC.
Thanks for sharing

a lovely being It’s hot pink rather than fuschia, but nars’ funny face is my go-to rose hue : )
Natasha Fatah Gorgeous colour!
Sewcreate I have a great color I can send you from Mary Kay called simply Fuchsia. We have had it for years and it is a true Fuchsia color. My address is mnikoo@bellsouth if you are interested. BTW love your blog and all the wonderful things you are doing. Rue was awesome this month too. Bon journée!!
betinahluna You can never go wrong with a pop of fuchsia.
Lace And Tulle love the colors!!!
Pamela McKenney In the second picture – that is a Lulie Wallace painting. Her work is GREAT!
null Hi, fuchsia (I think you have a typo in the text) is a gorgeous colour!
Tiffany Richey Thank you for sharing one of my designs from the Society Social magalog!
Bethany [at] Powell Brower Home if only you could bottle up the actual color of a fuschia purple orchid youd be RICH…. such an AMAZING color.
P.S. I love this... I have a library in my house and the built-ins are currently painted a glossy black but that fushia bookshelves are calling me.. what color paint would you suggest?
Thank you
Krissy B Oh boy, I think I just audibly sighed at that gorgeous fuchsia chest of drawers. Wow.
Connie | Daydream In Color I didn’t know I could be so in love with such a rich color in a room! I would totally go for this color in a study or office! What a pick me up!
Amber I like the first one the best, definitely.
That’s the awesome thing about neutral rooms – you can add ANY colour and they will look amazing. I would never have chosen fuchia but it looks stunning.
life is in the details. style accordingly.
Love association you made with the bougainvillea! I love both. Very clever!
gorgeous! reminds me of the bougainvillea covered french rivera and amalfi coast. *sigh*
Oh god that pink room took my breath away!!! That is my dream room! My husband would kill me though with THAT much pink.
I love bougainvillea as well. The color of the flowers are simply stunning. The pink is great, but I think my favorite bougainvillea color is the orange flower.
There is nothing like that bougainvillea color! Gorgeous! And it brings back so many great travel memories.
Over the Moon
Such a lovely color.
I can see why you are inspired by it.
