Why This Room Caught My Eye


If there is an all-time winning combination, then it must be blue and grey. At least in my world. This colour combination is the main reason why this room caught my eye. Imagine a plethora of beautiful interior images on Pinterest, and then there is one that sticks out totally and catches your eye. That's exactly what happened to me when I stumbled upon this interior styling. And it was a double surprise - I realized it was styled by one of my friends, the stylist Pella Hedeby. Everything in this room is an aesthetic pleasure, but these three elements are my main eye-catchers:
  • Blue Cushions: Those blue cushions are the stars of this monochromatic interior composition. They stick out, they are the main visual cue on the first sight. I also like that Pella used different textures of cushions and matched them with a few tearsheets sticked on the wall.
  • Tearsheet Gallery: A smart and simple way of adding a temporary gallery are favorite tearsheets. We all read nice magazines and love those amazing images - be it editorial photos, ads, detail shots. Why not tearing those out of the magazine and creating a little gallery wall like in this example?
  • Bertoia Diamond Chair: This design classic makes the entire interior styling sophisticated. It underlines the design aesthetics and consciousness of the person living in (or styling) this room.
How do you like this room? What catches your eye?

Why This Room Caught My Eye


Yesterday I was rushing after work to a fabulous book store here in Munich which happens to be just in my neighborhood. It is one of the coolest and nicest book stores in town - it is called Literatur Moths if you ever happen to be here in town - and I went there to buy a birthday present for one of my Parisian friends. Anyways, while I was browsing the store I found at least three books that I wanted for myself - but I hesitated: I have a huge pile of books yet to be read on my sideboard! 

Why am I boring you with my book shopping story? Because it made me think of reading nooks in homes. When you have a spacious home, it is wonderful to have a dedicated reading nook where you could unwind with your favorite books after a long day or on rainy weekends. Maybe a little bit like this beautiful reading nook that caught my eye today - these are the reasons:
  • Large Houseplant: As an Urban Jungle Blogger I love plants. They look great and they make your home a healthy place - so placing one next to your reading nook is an excellent idea!
  • Bertoia Diamond Chair: This design classic is always a highlight. However, I wonder how comfortable the chair is. Probably not the best solution for a reading nook, but I might be wrong. My recommendation for a reading chair is THIS one.
  • Leather Pouf: This Moroccan leather pouf adds so much character to this little nook with its warm hue and soft texture. Perfect to rest your feet while reading!
Do you have a reading nook at home? Any tips for a great reading nook? Let me know!
