This space feels very warm and liveable.  The design is comfortable and unfussy.  I like how the layout of the artwork mimics the line of the staircase.  The room is layered in varying shades of gray and cream and one bright pop of fuchsia.

It inspires me.

This room has a comfortable, lived-in look.  The gorgeous light fixture (Arctic Pear Round Chandelier from Ochre), purple-tufted sofa, and antique mirror above the fireplace work really well together.  The pale, unfinished floorboards also help to keep the room from being too 'fussy'

It inspires me.

I am a huge fan of the Voliere pendant lamp from The Conran Shop (designed by Matthieu Challieres) and seeing it caused me to pause on this image.  What I really like is the mix of old and new in this space - the orange Eames rocker in front of the ornately carved stone fireplace which is then topped with mercury glass bottles.  I also love the chevron wood flooring and the panelling on the walls.

It inspires me.

This room is so unique in how perfectly all the various patterns work together.  This is accomplished by keeping all of these different patterns within the same colour palette. It's all just variations of blues and creams.

It inspires me.

This room has a lot of white in it - white floor, white sectional, white ladder, white floor lamp, white table, white walls, white trim and a white ceiling - but it doesn't feel sparse or cold.  Bright pops of colour are added with the rug, throw, pillows, artwork and that fantastic pink flower pendant.

By keeping all the big (expensive?) pieces in the room the same colour you could easily change up the feel of this room with accessories.  Imagine creating a nautical theme by adding the colour combination of aqua and sand into the room.  You could hang a painting of crashing waves, put down a neutral jute rug, add blue/green pillows, a rope ball on the table and a basket of driftwood on the floor.

It inspires me.

I really like how comfortable this room feels.  The couch looks like it's covered in a soft, worn-in linen and is decked out with a lot of cushions you can just sink right into.  Painted floors also convey a very relaxed vibe and this is only further accentuated with the casual rug and large pillows to sit on.  The plants and flowers in the room look like they came from the garden and are arranged in an unfussy manner.  

There is a lot of balance in this room as many of the colours and textures are repeated.  You see the same pink in the sofa, the cushions, the flowers and the wall.  The yellow is repeated in the pillows, the vase and the letter 'S" that's mounted on the wall.

One of the most noticeable features is the faux wainscotting made by using two different colours on the wall.   Such an easy DIY project and again keeps this room feeling so cozy and carefree.

It inspires me.
