Interior Inspiration

Monday, January 4, 2010

I decided in the New Year that it was time to do a few updates to my interior decor.  I've lived in my home for four years now and there are a few empty spaces that are just dying for me to decorate them.  Here are a few pictures of interiors that I have been inspired by lately or have been stashing away for awhile now.  I haven't narrowed anything down yet, but my design wheels are beginning to turn.

I have an Ikea corner sofa that I've had for about 6 years and it previously had a white slipcover over it, but I just purchased a new gray for cover it.  I'm inspired by this room above with it's gray sofa and the brightly colored pillows just kind of squished into it and laying all haph-hazard like.  This room has a cozy lived in look to me.

I have very tall ceilings and still need to do something in the entry way.  I have a couple of different ideas and this is one of them.  I really like the design painted on these walls.  Something like this might go well in my dining area as well.

I would really like a new chandelier above my dining room table.  When it comes to accessories, I like alot of twists and curves.  I've been looking at designs like these or ones with hanging white capiz shells.

It's always been my dream to have a garden room.  This space is inspiring me to add a few plants here and there.  I'd like to get a bunch of them at different heights and sizes and put them near the window in my office or on top of one of the bump out walls in the loft.

I like the black framed mirror in this room and the picures lining the walls.  I still have yet to put up any family pictures.  Should I do this in my entry area or going up the stairway...decisions, decisions.

I think this table and hanging lamp shade would look so cute in my kitchen.

I just like this room becuase I'm attracted to all the pops of color.  I love the turquoise door frame and raspberry credenza.

I want to decorate with this pretty garland and have a little party in my kitchen.  I seem to have quite a few of these little garlands hanging around my house lately.  I like them because they make my space personal and fun.

I LOVE the grey, definitely- a home needs at least a couple of plants, pictures up a stairway are a must! and I will come to your happy party with any type of garland!
I love theses ideas...oooh! HAVE FUN!
(Make sure you take before and after pictures:)

Love the room with the pink console and the turquoise doorway...cool and different. Also loving grey with a dash of colour!

The garland is by far my favorite. I bookmarked it on flickr earlier - it's such a relaxing looking kitchen nook.

I just fell for the last one. The whole space is great. Love the white and the amount of light flowing in. And needless to mention, those pretty garland. It made me wanna stay on the nook all day, just looking at those colors. Happy colors. ;)
