Inspiration in White: Astier de Villatte

I love all white ceramics as you know....it's what I design and what I use everyday in my home. One of my first inspirations for my ceramic line was Astier de Villatte, and as I have mentioned before here,  I began collecting pieces on my travels to Paris for work. I came across this wonderful video on Domaine Home today and was so excited to see a bit of the behind the scenes of what goes into making the line and the inspirations behind their work. They are an incredibly talented group of designers and artists and I would love to have every piece of their line in my home and my office (mixed with lookslikewhite ceramics of course!). 

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Oversize Chandeliers

There are so many incredible lighting alternatives for every different style of home. I have a board on Pinterest for lighting and I just love some of the new simple industrial lights that are available.....BUT my first love is, and always will be, crystal chandeliers. One of the first posts I ever did on my blog was about chandeliers and mirrors here..

The best way to do a crystal chandelier is oversize..and by this I mean a real statement in the room..not a little one over the dining room table. The effect one of these large chandeliers can have in a room is amazing! The reflection and sparkle it can bring is like nothing else...

Enjoy!

Interiors: Blue and White

This cottage in Sweden has done white so well with a touch of blue running through every room in the house. I also have some blue in my living room and though it is just in a few small pieces it adds a light touch of colour that I like. I have with a painting with blue in it, a vase with a blue pattern and two bowls but you could use it in cushions, a carpet or a small blue wall. What colour do you use to add to your white rooms?

Beautiful Modern

Love the windows in this modern neutral apartment. When I see a home with a mix of greys, beige and cream I want this palette all over again! Feel relaxing and easy...

Contemporary Chic

This home, all done up in neutrals, is so chic and contemporary yet still very comfortable. Gorgeous textures and the mix of old and new pieces keep it interesting. Love the bathroom fixtures and the use of mirrors in the dining room. Pale walls blend with the floor and furniture to create a soft and warm space. Really lovely..

Enjoy!

Interiors: White in Italy

Beautiful home in Milan with amazing skylights and floor to ceiling windows that reflect white washed wood ceilings and floors. The beautiful doors in the living area lead to a large terrace outside that is really a wonderful place for family or entertaining. Things I am loving: Shots of colour in the Smeg  fridge and bright books and the tulip table and chairs in the dining room. Also loving the sink on the wooden shelf in the bathroom! Isn't that perfect for a smaller space...

Enjoy!

Kitchen and Bath: Seafoam and White

This beautiful contemporary kitchen and bath are made interesting by the choice of colour and materials. Pretty seafoam with silver fixtures makes this kitchen feel fresh and light. Check out that amazing ceiling! A really fun choice of fabrics for the banquette matched with leather in a caramel colour. The bathroom follows the look with a touch of seafoam and darker wood for contrast. Very traditional yet beautiful..

Interiors: Lotta Agaton

This is the home of the wonderful Swedish stylist and blogger Lotta Agaton. She clearly has the most amazing personal style and her home reflects that completely. It is incredibly simple but each piece is so interesting within the space...black and white and a mix of textures and materials. Love it!

Go and see her new website by the way. So inspiring!! 

Enjoy!

Country French

I love this style of decor and show it fairly often on the blog. So beautiful with the grain sack chair, the slip covered chairs in the dining room and the canopy over the bed. All gorgeous touches that make this home really special. It is so easy to add a few of these elements into a home and really change the look. Of course having a Mora clock in the entry and the gorgeous layered console table are also great ways to get the French Country look!

Enjoy!
