Theme Design : Romantic Red!!

Saturday, February 16, 2013

The color Red is so full of energy and cheery, including it in your home decoration color palette should not be too difficult. The color could be a bold bright, or a more soothing version of pastel and pinks. The fact that it looks amazing in combination with colors like white, black, green, yellow et al should be a good incentive to experiment with this popping color.

The decor ideas included here, are based mostly on bold red, and it would help you get an idea about using it as a focal color, specially when combining with neutrals like white, beige, and against wooden textures. This color has so much potential to bring energy and sophistication to any style of decoration.

A large red pendant style light looks amazing! Red as accent color is a great choice, specially with neutrals and pastel colors. The combination of pink, purple and red is lovely!


The unusual feature wall with a rug looks absolutely exotic! Pick a color shade for the wall from your chosen rug,this way it is more put together and adds neat sophistication.


Red adds the perfect dose of drama to an all white room. Lovely red and white with a little of beige. The vertical striped wall trick adds height, while white reflects making it more spacious!


Give an old bench, or feature furniture a perk up! Paint is red, and it will no longer be be in the background. It would look absolutely charming against exposed wood.


Simple elegance. Burgundy and red brings a distinct richness to this bedroom. Easy tip, keep the curtain and bedspread in matching schemes, in different sets for the year round!


Love the crazy scheme of stripes, floral and bold red. Absolutely unique and oh so chic! This is not for the conformists, a distinct individual style. I can't gush enough over it :-)


Red has a way of brightening up any corner, its festive and has been celebrated as a color of love! Bring out mercury votive in red for a special dinner or just as everyday glamor.


Brighten up a dinner table with these gorgeous dinnerware in red, black and white! Another good way to include a little of red, if you are just experimenting. Perfect for Christmas!

Theme Inspiration: Retro Stylish Seventies !

Friday, February 1, 2013

Vintage and retro interior design are such an interesting study. The trends of seventies were so unique. Elements like Panton chairs, shag rugs, atomic designs, wall paper in psychedelic prints, and the celebration of color. Pink, purple, green, yellow they came together in such unusual combinations. It was a time for unapologetic display. Loud colors and individualistic style. A break away from previous trends.

Always been fascinated with vintage stuff, I love the quirkiness and boho feel from the seventies. The elevated hearth, avacado green living room and the absolute favorite, conversation pits. Enjoy a selection of designs from the seventies, these were some of the coolest years.

Love the shag rug and red fireplace. Everything is so on trend! The egg chairs and panel wall. The atomic inspired art on the wall is so typical of the decade.


Seventies was also know for its Flower Power! Bright colors and floral motif, pink shelf..so cool. This would be perfect even today on a focal wall, just the right amount of kitschy.


Absolutely unique of the era, conversation pits! I would love it any day :) Depressed section of flooring with built in seating. Those yellow and orange might be jarring but the pit, adore!


Shag rug and low seating. This place looks rather stylish and comfortable in its own way. Very boho chic and a simple sophistication. Imagine entertaining here!


Absolutely vibrant, eye popping blues! What really caught my eye was how the curtain is incorporated into the wall art. What interesting times, love the mushroom seat though.


Known for its obsession for bright colors and psychedelic prints this bedroom is straight from the seventies. The colors are bright and an unusual combination, yellow, purple and pink! 


Exposed wall was another feature from the 70s decor. This exposed rock wall is simply stunning. A few furniture pieces and it has the ultimate comfortable cozy feel.


Avacado green and elevated fireplace. A open plan living room, simple open shelves and an absolutely radical design chair. Seventies was know for its contradiction.


Sleek Scandinavian with bold black and gold wall paper. The 70s was all about finding individuality, its uniqueness lied in its contradictions. Combination of gold and black is gorgeous!


Brown, rust and bronze are the dominant colors in this dining room. The chairs are my favorite! It has a very posh stylish feel and the dining set would be perfect even today.


A really fun accent, terrarium ottoman. These are inflatable, how much cooler can it be! An absolutely unique furniture piece. Love the bizarre feel, just calls to me :)
