Why This Room Caught My Eye


When it comes to interior design I find myself almost undetermined - I like sleek, clean rooms with a dominance of neutral hues as much as I like colourful rooms with lot of patterns and textures. Today's room of choice belongs to the latter. It is the happy living room of Finnish design blogger Kaisa of 'No Home Without You'. She decorated her home for a party and I was smitten by the happy styling. Why exactly? Well, here we go:
  • Pops of Colour: Blue, pink, orange, copper - this room plays with the effect of color pop by accenting certain areas/corners of the room with a colourful piece of home decoration.
  • Pattern Mix: Stripes, triangles, circles, zigzags - the playfulness with the pattern mix creates visual interest and leads the eye all over the place. 
  • Changing Textures: Have a close look - do you see the various textures of the home textiles? Do you notice the changing feels and surfaces of the wood in this room? All this adds to a great tactile feel when being in this room. 
If you said to someone to mix colours, patterns and textures, this could turn out totally wrong and overdone. But here we have a great example how you can go crazy with all mentioned interior design elements and yet create a cosy and visually appealing room. 

Is this room catching your eye, too?

Why This Room Caught My Eye


Lately I am really a bit focused around my home redecoration project and drawn to pictures that inspired me for my own home redo. The same applies to today's chosen room that caught my eye. First of all I really like the way it's photographed, it is a sort of elusive moment caught on a picture, it kind of gives a swift glance into someone's inspiring room (I wish I knew who took this photo, so if you happen to know, please tell me). Secondly, my eye got caught by a few elements that will also find their way into my own home or already have:
  • Round Mirror: I really fell in love with round, wall-mounted mirrors. Recently I got rid of my rectangular, black framed mirror and I got myself a big round mirror. Not the famous Adnet mirror by Gubi but a less pricy but still lovely mirror - the new round mirror from Ikea's Stockholm 2013 collection. I can't wait to hang it in my bedroom.
  • Chinese Money Plant: Have you noticed the rising popularity of this cute little green beauty? The so-called 'Chinese Money Plant' or more correctly Pilea peperomioides is making its appearance in many interiors shots and decor vignettes. I am one lucky guy cause I have one of those rather rarely available plants - I got a shoot from my friend Emelie, a Swedish flower blogger. 
  • Variety of textures: I love to play with textures in rooms. Linen, structured fabrics, knitted throws, chunky knit cushion covers - I will have to elaborate a fine selection of textures for my new living room soon.
How do you like this dreamy peek into someone's beautiful home? What caught your eye?
