Harmonious Home

The art of Feng Shui was used to create perfect balance and harmony in this home. Of course I find white homes are always peaceful and calm but this space has the added touch of an experts hand. Elements such as the easel were added to symbolize creativity and black was used to contrast with the white to show ying and yang in the home. From a decorating perspective I love the gold mirror in the dining room and the wallpaper with the contrasting black cupboard looks so pretty!

Enjoy!

French: Grey and White

This lovely home is in the countryside just outside of Paris. Finished in grey, white and neutral tones, the feeling of this home is calm and peaceful. Completely renovated from top to bottom, I think the couple that own this home did a great job with it. They also own a home decor store called "La Vie en Grey Mouse" or Life in Mouse Grey which really describes their own home all painted in Mouse Grey and white.  A mix of French and Gustavian styles, antiques and vintage, it captures so many of the elements I love in a home... 

Enjoy!

Home with Style

This is the very creative home of blogger and freelance stylist Johanna Laskey from Lovely Life. She not only blogs about stylish homes but follows her own ideas in her home by combining vintage and industrial into this very personal space. I love the light fixture hanging from the ceiling covered with tulle and how the doors are painted blue to add a nice pop of colour. She says they are like jewellery and add that final touch to the home. I think she is right!

Enjoy!

Vintage and Modern Mix

This gorgeous apartment in Stockholm is a wonderful mix. The building is from 1915 and the furniture is a mix of amazing mid century vintage pieces with a few modern pieces. I really love the hanging lights around the space and especially over the coffee table in the living room. I had done another post of an apartment with a similar look with hanging lights and I think it is really clever......and what about the floor? Just so stylish..

Have a great weekend!

Scandinavian Style

If you love Scandinavian design then you must know about Emmas Design Blogg. I have been following Emma Fexeus for awhile now and she has the most amazing and paired down style I have ever seen. Thanks to the wonderful Est Magazine we get a sneak peek at Emmas new book called Northern Delights and if these pictures are any indication, the book looks to be very inspiring. 

Love the very rustic feeling of the bedroom and the oversize black lamps in the dining room. Her advice is to get rid of the clutter to let your pieces show to their best advantage. Not so easy to decide what goes and what stays but it looks great when it is done!!

Enjoy!

White Cottage

The photos of this fabulous home are from the company Stettvoll. I have written about them before because their cataloque on-line is perfection. The furniture from this company is featured in these photos (no they are not paying me to say this!) and is the style I have in my home and what I just love. Clean, white, slipcovered and elegant, the styling of each photo is so well done...sorry I am gushing....but wow! 

Go and take a look at the furniture they have and check the last post I did on them. It was one of your favourites last year!

Enjoy!

Black and White Industrial

This black and white industrial space is put together exactly the way I would want to see a more modern home. A mix of very neutral tones with a few pops of great color. White ceiling and floors except in the bedroom where a black ceiling gives a bit of cozy where you want it. The bright yellow chair and cart are just the perfect little addition and so is the worn leather chair in the living room. 

The posters on the wall and the cute pillow on the chair make a statement...literally...how fun is that? Great mix of old and new don't you think?

Enjoy!

White Home by the Sea

This lovely little home in Hamptons is for sale...just $17.5 million...with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it is ocean front property..of course. I have gone to the Hamptons and few times and I love it. (I showed another home in the Hamptons HERE) The beach is so amazing but it would have been even better if we had stayed in an all white beauty like this... Enjoy and dream...

Enjoy!

White Home with Pops of Pastel

This family apartment is only 720 square feet in size but the owner of this little gem works for Ikea so she has plenty of inspiration and ideas on decorating....not just decorating but how to add great storage and manage space. Her space saving solutions are really well done with shelving and bookcases thoughout the home.

I also love the touches of pastel and neon...mixed with the black and white it feels so modern. Have you noticed all the pastel trending in home decor? Anybody who loves the Shabby Chic look has always had pastel but the look is creeping into modern furniture as well and I just love the look.

Enjoy!

White Decor with Ikea

This sweet apartment is filled with furniture and accessories from Ikea but what I love about it the styling! I have seen these dining room chairs at Ikea and I think they would work with so many different styles from modern to vintage. The bed tucked against the window is perfect in a small room and with the curtains in front makes a cozy little space. The inspiration board in the office is done on a wood shelf or board which is a great idea. You could do this on an rough wood board and it would look amazing!

To see other beautiful homes from Ikea Family Live go here and here....

Enjoy!
