ROOM OF THE WEEK: 9.22

6172603158_d71cae202f

This week’s room is brave. Much more brave than I’ll ever be. It’s also quite on trend with its mix of print and pattern and glamour into a boho luxe little living room… If someone handed me all these elements and told me to make a room out of them, I probably could. If someone [...]

    I love that jolt of coral in the lamp base, and the silvery lavender ottoman with the brass tables, but the green chair is throwing me off…perhaps if it erred a bit more on the side of kelly green rather than peridot? It just seems sort of washed out. Other than that its a lovely space! The light is really good.

    What a cool sofa! I love the huge windows, multi colors and a few pops of bright colors. Good stuff!

    I love this room. That coffee table/ottoman is awesome and while I wouldn’t think all those prints would mesh – they really work out here because of thoughtful planning. So cool!

    I’m surprised how much i love this color mix…there’s just something about red purple together that’s daring and feminine, without being overly girly.

    Hi Cassandra,

    Wow, another great post! I am wondering if you could recommend an online marketplace where I could find graphic and ethnic pillows like the ones shown in the fourth picture from the top. Your help is so appreciated!

FROM FANTASY TO FÊTE: EXOTIC BOHEMIAN

Exotic-Bohemian-Inspiration-CamilleStyles-cocokelley

Although it’s still a bit early for backyard barbecues and poolside soirées, I’m craving a dose of brilliant color to break out of the winter entertaining doldrums. Camille Styles here, and today’s fantasy takes a cue from the rich textures and dappled sunlight of exotic locales…A rich palette of tangerine, cerulean & terra cotta recalls [...]

With the brisk morning air we’ve had in Seattle the last few days, I’m getting ready for a serious wardrobe change, and this editorial has me inspired… The crazy mix of layers in muted prints and patterns, accessorized with eccentricity (are those garden gloves i spy?) is such a fun way to cozy into the [...]

ROOM OF THE WEEK 5.6

Hold on to your seats darlings, because this week’s room is an entire house full of glamour and bohemian drama… This is a rock star pad if I’ve ever seen one. And it’s quite possible that it belongs to one since the designer, Madame Sera, is known for working with the likes of Kate Moss, [...]

    This reminds me of my grandmother–not because it's an "old lady" look, but because it's as glamorous as she is. This is exactly her style! Loves!

    Hi. I've just popped over from Table Tonic. Its my first visit and I'm absolutely blown away by this post. I love just about everything! Its a fantastic example of putting together everything you love and it will somehow work. Good advice but scary in practice. Just off to delve deeper into earlier posts.

LAYERS OF BOHEMIA

I don’t think I need to tell you all how much I’m constantly influenced by fashion when it comes to creating new interior designs, but sometimes a piece of inspiration hits me over the head with its gorgeousness so hard that I immediately want to transform a space taking a cue from its style… This [...]

    the first room is just divine and definitely the way I hope to decorate my home. Though I must say am strangely drawn to the light green walls and vibrant red rug of the third room. I would never think of that combination, but its lovely!

    I knew it was an artists room the moment I saw it. I am stealing that rug, and the bright torquoise vase with red carnations in it, sooo mexico, so stunning! I love your posts about color and vibrancy, they are just what I want to see on a poopy Wed. morning :) ))

    The first inspiration photo isn't showing up for me, either. I love the first and third interior photos, especially the blue and white teapot in the third photo. It is all about the styling, isn't it? :)

    I like the first one the best. The third one seems to be all over the shop, it looks very untidy (for my taste), I believe there is too much going on there, though I have to say, the wallpaper is absolutely superb. The red tree on the first design is also great; I think it gives the room some sort of surreal touch which complements the overall design.

    The middle room is my fave…with the addition, as you suggested, of a B&W striped pillow. The others? Unrealistic for daily living, I think. Love the blog, this posting in particular. Thanx, expat39520

    i love this look but i fear i would have no idea where to begin to introduce it into my own home. would you start with a particular piece (i.e. one of the amazing rugs in the second or third rooms) or would you recommend a different strategy? the saturated colors are amazing but a little intimidating for a beginning designer!

    Wow – I absolutely love the coat that inspired this post. Where is the image from? As for the rooms the rooms, the last one has been my favorite since I saw it in House Beautiful last summer. In fact, the rest of that Brooklyn brownstone is simply breathtaking!

    design darling, i think it would depend on how much of the look you're going for! for me, i keep my large pieces fairly neutral, so i would start with those, add a striped or floral rug, and then do the reverse for pillows! i prefer to keep the colors to accent pieces. BUT, if i thought i could live with a bright sofa or patterned chair, they would be fantastic to work around…

    i like the idea of investing in neutral pieces and creating contrast between the rug and the pillows. thank you so much for answering my question — you're the best!

    Gorgeous images- i'm normally a neutral kind of girl too with a few well timed injections of colour, but this year something's changing i'm really getting more and more drawn to layered colour and lots of it!

    this is applying exactly what i learned yesterday from Cinema Style! don't be afraid of bold patterns – when they're all equally strong, they'll blend well together and not compete for your attention. how beautiful are these rooms…!

Room of the Week 6.11

I stumbled across this room last week sometime and completely fell for the insanely wonderful mix of styles, textures, colors, patterns… everything!Lucite tray table? Swoon. (I so want one now!) Woven leather chair? Awesome throwback piece to lend to the bohemia vibe of the oversized bench piled with pillows and fur. But the real finishing [...]
