Layered Home with Pottery Barn

This is the gorgeous home of Pottery Barn Executive VP Monica Bhargava. Layers of textiles and decor fill each room brought in from her travels around the world and of course from Pottery Barn! I find it such an original space! Great mix of caramel colour with black and white throughout the home creates a unified theme but an incredible mix of pictures, lamps and home accessories keeps the eye moving from table to table, couch to chair. I just love the mix of lamps used in one space..not small lamps..really great oversized lamps! Finally take a look at the layered rugs in each room....Monica is a brave mixer of prints....check the zebra rug over the Persian rug. Perfect!

Enjoy!

Black, White and Wood

This gorgeous Scandinavian apartment is owned by a couple who are in the business of branding various companies, something I am very familiar with.  Their beautiful home has a very consistant flow throughout that makes such a great clean statement with all white, black and warm wood....even the leather is in the same tones and feels just right with the rest of the pieces. There is also a nice softness mixed with the harder lines in this apartment. The office is also perfect with two identical desks and lamps in a great large workspace..

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Yellow Accents

The beauty of having an all white home is that you can choose any colour you want as an accent. I have shown you ideas for adding green and blue but yellow adds a real touch of the bohemian to a room. It feels younger and more edgy than most other colours and it takes a bold person to mix more than a couple of pieces of this colour into a room.....but the beauty is you don't need much to get great impact. I just finished a clients bedroom that is white and grey with yellow, gold cushions and it looks amazing! 

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Swiss Cross + X

The Swiss Cross symbol is really showing up all over Pinterest and on many blogs thanks to the Pia Wallen blanket. Done in black and white it fits so well into a modern Nordic decor. I have also seen versions of this with a big X as well giving a sort of stark, cool design element in a room. Both the cross and X are being used on pillows, wall art, wallpaper and of course in blankets and throws. Doesn't black and white always looks so good in decorating...always sophisticated...

Enjoy!
