Why This Room Caught My Eye


Sometimes it is sheer simplicity that catches my eye. In a world where visual cues are exuberant, a quite setting attracts my attention pretty quickly. Especially when there is one or two little style elements that add that dash of sophistication to a simple interior design. When I spotted this kitchen, I felt like I would love to sit there on the table, have a cup of coffee, flip through a few favorite interiors magazines and let the day pass by. As simple as that. But what caught my eye in detail? Here are three points:
  • Industrial Pendant: Lighting is essential in any interior and one of the most important interior design elements. Kitchens seem to be the ideal place for vintage, weathered industrial pendants. Probably because they evoke some fantasies of a large bakery from the past. Or the image of a large French cuisine from the late 19th century? I don't know what, but it always works.
  • Tiled Wall: Metro or subway tiles have really made a grand entrance in the interior design scene. Mostly, tiles were used for the splashback in kitchens. But an entire tiled feature wall? Pretty cool!
  • Black Eames Chairs: In this rather simple kitchen void of clutter, a design classic makes a stark statement: they reveal the owner's sense for design and style. And opting for simple, black Eames chairs is the best option to underline the sophisticated, calm look of this kitchen.
Are simple interiors catching your eye, too?

Why This Room Caught My Eye


Ready for some Tuesday interior candy? In good tradition, here is a room that absolutely caught my eye this week for - I'd say - obvious reasons. This is such a wonderful example to showcase the vast power of colours in interior design. This composition is like a painting - every hue seems carefully chosen, every placement thoughtfully arranged. Don't get me wrong, I truly believe that a monochrome interior can expel a similar visual power - but here we talk colour, right? But let me point out the three points that caught my eye in particular:
  • Colour Coding: The commitment to a precise colour palette does the trick here. A white setting as an ideal background make the warm orange and yellow pop to the max. The warm yellow is perfectly enhanced by the saturated tangerine and the colours reflect not only the larger pieces but also the decorative details.
  • Happy Shelves: I love this kind of open shelves in such a happy colour. First of all, they just look so decorative and secondly you can display your favorite magazines, books, prints and change the little gallery from time to time.
  • Timeless Eames Chairs: Yes, I agree, they are like everywhere. But truth be told, the timeless design of an Eames chair is a safe eye-catcher!
What do you think of this room? What caught your eye?

Ideas For A Happy Weekend


I am all mix & match. Born and raised in two cultures and bilingual. I was used to mix & match from my early years. I've lived in various parts of Austria from the western tip to Vienna, but also in Athens, Berlin, now Munich. I kinda like to mix & match. And this weekend is a rather grey and rainy one here in Munich. But I am happy and my heart is colourful - cause I am mix & match. I wish you a tad of 'mix & match' for this weekend, friends!
