Posted under Bedroom, Bright, Dramatic, Exotic, Hallway/Entry, Hottest Designers, Living room, Lounge, Orange, Peach, Pink, Stairways by theLennoxx on Tuesday 16 February 2010 at 12:11 am

Lovely reader Hilary so kindly requested a Moroccan theme post as inspiration for her bedroom makeover. Ask and you shall receive! My first thought off cause went to these dreamy interiors by Jeffers Design Group:

*

moroccan style hallway vignette coral red saffron

This tiny seating area is a feast for the eye with it’s great shapes, proportion and color. Hypnotizing!

*

cream and pink moroccan stairway

The seating area is situated in a hallway in front of this staircase. I know the Moroccan style incorporates a lot of geometrical patterns and beautiful tiles, but I haven’t seen it combined into a beautiful hardwood floor like this before. And what do you think about the carpeting on the stairs? Looks like someone went up before and left a trail of rose petal for you to follow. Very inviting =)

*

peach moroccan style living room

This coral pink living room is topped off with a yellow ceiling and beige furniture. The furniture is pretty low set and simple in design, serving as the perfect backdrop for layering of pillows and fabrics of bright colors and beautiful pattern.

*

peachy pink living room

Those built in shelves!!

*

coral pink vignette

A simple but dramatic vignette with a mirror, two symmetrically arranged sculptures and a tray with silver tea service. The high gloss cabinet even has a tassel handle!

*

moroccan style bedroom

First thing you notice when walking through the door of this bedroom, apart from the fantastic door itself, has to be that ceiling.

*

moroccan themed style bedroom beige and coral pink

Golden beige bedroom with every possible shade and hue of coral. Spicy hot colors!

*

exotic bedroom

View from the bed. There are so much detail here, even the lamp shades have beaded fringes.

*

moroccan themed dressing room

I just could not leave this dressing room out.

*

When I think about Moroccan style interiors I think tassels, trays, big soft throw pillows and layering of hot fabrics. Oh yeah, the lanterns and incense too off cause!


Actress Molly Sims’ Home

I came across these pictures of actress Molly Sims’ beautiful home on Luxist, and as I saw the kitchen photo, I remembered reading about this home on Interior designer Kiahani Perera’s blog. Kishani, one of my favorite designers, is in fact a good friend of our actress, and is behind Molly’s Hollywood Hills home, so let’s take a look:

(you can click the pics to see full size on Luxist)

Molly has a white house with beautiful black details. I really like the larger-than-life potted trees, very simple and dramatic.

*

celebrity actress molly sims home dining room

This is Molly’s dining room. Like the facade, the walls are white and the floors and trim is black. The blue velvet dining chairs looks super soft and comfy.

*

On the other side of the fireplace wall is a living area.  Let us take a closer look:

*

Gray sofas with purple throw pillows and a glass chandelier to add a bit of glamour.

*

celebrity actress molly sims home white kitchen

The kitchen is white with marble counter tops and brushed steel kitchen appliances.

I love how the glassware is arranged by color in the cabinet.

*

Isn’t this little girls room adorable?

*

This is definitely a room to grow up in.

*

celebrity actress molly sims home seafoam green master bedroom

This I presume is the master bedroom. It is  seafoam green and white, with a huge bed with nailhead trim. Love the pops of color brought in by the purple lampshades. This room was later painted a deep grey, which, according to Kishani “complrtely transformed the vibe of the space from beachy to moody”.

See the result on Kishani’s blog here.

*

The bathroom is white too.

*

Here is the second living room, with a flatscreen TV.

Last but not least is Molly’s home office. I have posted some images of this room before on this website, and here are some more:

Gray by Mimi Williams

Posted under Bedroom, Classic, Dining room, Grey, Hottest Designers, Living room, Lounge, Mirror / Wall Acessory, Soft/ Light, Stairways by theLennoxx on Thursday 7 January 2010 at 4:25 pm

Today we’ll look at some of the work of Interior Designer Mimi Williams. I am not sure if this is a private home or not, because it looks amazingly large, with two living room seating areas and two dining areas. What I do know is that it looks absolutely fantastic!

*

gray living room seating area

The whole of the home is decorated in a subtle gray. Three tiny glass tables instead of one large. Fun idea!

*

gray living room seating area 2

The second seating area. Have you noticed the trend of using dark tables to light colored seating?

*

gray and white dining room

This dining room has two identical seating areas symmetrically arranged around a cozy fireplace. The second dining room is to the right in this image.

*

gray dining room with massive table

And here it is. Notice the fantastic eagle claws and glass ball table foots. I love how Mimi used only a few large accent pieces in this dining room. Very dramatic.

*

black and white staircase

Beautiful lines on this staircase, underlined by the choice of black and white on the railing.

*

gray and white bedroom

Take a look at that headboard. Very sculptural, like the back on the adjacent chair.

Nice romantic living room. I love this very neutral shade of beige, it is a perfect warm background color when you want to add a few color pops. Love the fireplace in the fireplace solution too.

*

beige living room daybed

Beautiful beige daybed. Anyone know who designed it?

*

beige romantic bedroom

A bedroom with a lot of inspiring words to start the day on a good note.

*

beige romantic bathroom

Double sinks placed in front of a window, what a great use of space! You would probably need a vanity table for doing hair and makeup, with a great opertunety to check the result in natural daylight before you leave the house =)

*

A lovely gray living room. The large clean surfaces are broken up with subtle patterns and textures on fabrics, adding depth and interest to the room. The focal point of this room is obviously the fantastic painting over the sofa:

UPDATE: It hit me like a rock; painting is by James Nares!!

I’m already in love with the fabric on these dining chairs.

Sisal carpet on the patio seating area too. More hot fabric patterns and colors, but where is the “coffee” table? lol!

mediterranean home kitchen

Rustic kitchen with raw bricks and heavy wood counters. I have noticed that despite the style of kitchen, there are always the stainless steel appliances.

The tub is built into a corner, with a pilar on each side. Now that’s fancy!

Lovely details. That carved lamp is so pretty..

This gorgeous nautical design is actually in a real yacht, believe it on not. All walls and built-in furniture is clad in glossy wood panels. The color scheme is consistent throughout, constituting crisp white, charcoal gray and a fresh and fun saffron:

Gorgeous Green Bedroom

Posted under Bedroom, Coastal, Green, Hottest Designers, Lounge, Natural, Wallpaper / Tiles / Murals by theLennoxx on Friday 18 September 2009 at 12:51 pm

This beachy green and white bedroom is designed by Amanda Nisbet:

*

olive green and white beachy bedroom

Green natural fiber wall covering with medium stained hardwood floor and gray rug. This bed frame is so coastal!

*

olive green bedroom white chaise lounge

The seating area consists of a white chaise lounge with green trimmings. The weave pillow looks great and adds to the beachy feel, but I bet is looks a lot better than it feels, lol. Oh, and the pressed 60’s swimsuit is the best idea ever!
