Round Mirrors

Posted under Brown, Dining room, Dramatic, Hottest Designers, Living room, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Modern, Stairways by theLennoxx on Monday 15 March 2010 at 11:44 pm

I once read “a mirror is like a window you can hang on any wall”.  This has really stuck with me, and I love seeing how designers use mirrors on to lead natural light into the darker spaces of a room. Here are a couple of examples, all with round mirrors:

Behind this cozy beige living area is a dining area, with a deep brown accent wall. See the four round mirrors?

Here they are in all their glory. I love the heavy frames on the dark wall, it looks very dramatic.

amaroso design round mirrors in stairway

This stairway is decorated with multiple round mirrors. The reflective mirrors on the rich wall are like reverse wormholes (whatever that would be?). I adore this!

Matte Drama

Posted under Beige, Brown, Dining room, Dramatic, Greige, Grey, Hottest Designers, Living room, Wallpaper / Tiles / Murals by theLennoxx on Friday 19 February 2010 at 9:33 pm

Interior Design husband and wife team Stephen and Gail  Huberman of SGH Interiors are behind these dramatically beautiful interiors:

*

matte greige living room

All walls are painted a matte gray color with crisp white ceiling and dark hardwood floors. The end wall of this living room is devoted to displaying beautiful sculptural items on custom built shelves. Take a look at the beautiful Gothic style mirror over the fireplace, and the cowhide bench.

*

modern matte gray livng room with book shelf

Using the same color as the walls on the shelves and other larger pieces like this beautiful wing chair, other items really stands out, like that console table. It looks like a half wheel with arrow spokes. Wish we could see the rest of it.

*

modern living room matte greige

A folding wall with a blue and green landscape of trees is placed as a backdrop for what looks to be a staircase sculpture.

*

matte gray dining room

The “heavy” matte walls are repeatedly contrasted by tall transparent glass items such as candle sticks, vases and apothecary jars.  I really like the way this dining table is framed by the etageres.

*

black matte wall

Have you ever seen texture like this on a wall? Me neither!

Classic, Pretty

Posted under Bedroom, Brown, Classic, Dining room, Hottest Designers, Living room, TV Camouflage, White by theLennoxx on Wednesday 20 January 2010 at 9:11 pm

Today we’ll look at some beautiful designs by Caroline Edwards:

*

classic living room cream and blue with fireplace and chandelier

This beautiful living room is decorated in cream and beige. Take a look at those chairs. Reminds me of this chair by Mrs Howard Personal Shopper.

*

beautiful classic living room

A closer look at the fireplace and seating area. Perfect symmetry, and the fireplace frames the pretty chandelier beautifully.

*

classic home office

Beautiful home office. And do I detect another TV-in-mantel solution like this one?

*

modern bedroom caramel colors

Beautiful caramel colored bedroom. This is real eye candy (yes, that is my attempt at a pun.. lame I know)

*

17

Simple clean lines, but not bare and boring. Masculine with a feminine touch?

*

classic dining room

There is nothing masculine about this lovey dining area. Notice how only the two end chairs have arm rests. Nice detail.

*


Small Room, Big Color

Posted under Brown, Hottest Designers, Living room, Modern by theLennoxx on Wednesday 13 January 2010 at 4:55 pm

Elaine Griffin put together this beautiful living room. The walls are painted a rich chocolate brown and the room is decorated in white, creams and golden beige.

*

brown white and golden living room

See how beautifully the saffron red throw pillows pick up the red undertones in the wooden tables flanking the white sofa?

*

chic brown living room warm colors

The lovely tall windows are dressed with bamboo blinds. A pair of heavy curtains frames the windows and adds vertical interest (height) to the room. The thing I love the most about this living room is how cozy it looks, even with tons of natural light!

*

brown living room with desk

To the left is a beautiful wooden desk with a heavy mirror. A desk and a vanity table in one!

Contemporary Glam

Posted under Bedroom, Beige, Brown, Dining room, Glamorous, Greige, Grey, Hottest Designers, Living room, Modern, Vignettes by theLennoxx on Saturday 9 January 2010 at 8:38 pm

Jeneration Interiors is behind this fabulous home of contemporary bliss. We have seen a lot of bright colors in contemporary design lately, so this more muted palette is a nice change around here.

*

contemporary modern living room

So many lovely details, where do we start? Well, how about the gorgeous wall color? It looks like Benjamin Moore’s Kendall Charcoal. The furnishings and accents are really dramatic, with pops of “muddy” colors and glass ornaments for a touch of glam. Lets take a closer look at this living room:

*

modern contemporary living room taupe with yellow couch and chandelier

Everything in this room is fabulous, from the glass orbit chandelier to the black and white geometric area rug to the black and brass bamboo beach style chair.

*

living room

The black and gold credenza is the perfect base for a simple but dramatic vignette. It is all about proportion here, just look at the fantastic wing chair and the coffee table. The horn end table is available at Z Gallerie.

*

contemporary modern dining room

A black chandelier lights up this reflective chrome dining table. One row of deep red dining chairs is exchanged for a white-and-brass bench seat.

*

Here’s more of the cool vases like the ones on the coffee table.

*

Can’t omit this beautiful vignette. Is it just me or is this huge? Look at the winged chair and the brass chair in comparison.. They both look tiny! Another great example of dramatic proportion.

(Learn how to create a perfect vignette here!)

*

contemporary modern bedroom

The black details are exchanged for brown to keep a softer look for this bedroom. Again, Jennifer of Jeneration Interiors plays with proportion.

*

contemporary modern dining area

This cozy nook for dining includes bench seating and white marble table top. The art deco chandelier is really making it’s way back in the world of contemporary design.

Wild in the Bedroom

Posted under Bedroom, Brown, Exotic, Mirror / Wall Acessory by theLennoxx on Wednesday 2 December 2009 at 6:22 pm

Got your attention with that headline, didn’t I? So, this super wild and exotic bedroom by user Adam1323 on HGTV’s Rate my Space is something out of the ordinary. A simple color scheme of browns and white with all sorts of exotic references like zebra pattern, brown leather upholsteries and a great palm:

*

exotic jungle style bedroom brown and white

The choise of brown leather and zebra is so refreshing as the black and white has been done a lot lately. That bed is fantastic, isn’t it?

*

brown and white exotic african jungle bedroom

Love the drama a tall piece like that palm adds to a room, especially with the ultra low bed.

*

You can get a similar geometric candle holder for your wall at Crate and Barrel:

By the window is a tiny seating area with a round table and two classic chairs. The brown and orange upholstery on the chairs fits in perfectly with the room.

*

black tile bathroom with freestanding tub

Master bathroom is all done in a black matte tile. The freestanding tub is back.

*

A sneak peek of the toilet and sink. All the mirrors are built into the wall with the tiles. Very simple.

Brown and Blue Modern Bedroom

Posted under Bedroom, Brown, Greige, Modern by theLennoxx on Wednesday 11 November 2009 at 2:23 pm

I absolutely love peeking into the homes of “normal people” and see what design solutions they have come up with. This bedroom from HGTV’s Rate My Space  added by user Drmerwoman, I found particularly beautiful and inspiring:

*

light brown white and teal blue modern bedroom

A soft taupe colored wall and carpet is topped of with a slightly lighter beige ceiling. Deep brown furniture, and the bed looks to be upholstered with some sort of velour or suede. A hint of color is introduced through teal colored throw pillows.

*

brown white blue modern bedroom with white sunburst mirror and wood art

I love how she didn’t go overboard on the color, but keeps it very toned down and in the same color depth as the walls. This makes the white really pop! The quilt is so structural and pretty, it is from pottery barn, get it here!

*

brown bedroom with white barcelona chair, round silver side table and white floor lamp

The infamous white Barcelona Chair fits in perfectly with its sleek timeless design. Paired with a silver finish side table and white shaded floor lamp, it constitutes the perfect little reading corner.

*
