Designer Kendall Wilkinson is the creator behind this bright joy of a bedroom:

*

The walls and trim is blue all the way from top to bottom, with a white ceiling and a warm chocolate carpet. The pops of complimentary color orange adds a lot of fun and brightness.

*

Behind the bed is a huge mural of a white tree with little orange birds.

This is also the first time I have ever seen anyone place sconces over table lamps!

*

The headboard is clear glass (or plastic?).

*

Do you like this color combo? I’ve always been a sucker for blue/orange..

*

Blue chairs with ears (LOL)!

*

And a glass table, “matching” the headboard.

*

Today’s divine designs are created by California based brother- and design duo Ryan and Joshua Brown of Brown Design Inc:

*

The walls, carpet and curtains are all the same perfect shade of creamy beige, setting a perfect backdrop for the dark coffee table. I could move in here in the blink of an eye, and would not change a thing. Perfect!

*

Camel colored couch, decorated with throw pillows one shade lighter than the walls, one shade darker than the couch, and every shade and texture in between.

*

White bedroom with a beige wallpapered feature wall. That is my favorite hardwood floor stain (at the moment), so rich and warm.

*

Beautiful flowing lines in that blue and cream area rug.

*

Have you ever seen a bench seat like this before? Spectacular lines!

*

Now this is a bathroom! I adore the dark window frames against the soft beige walls, and the tiles are just fabulous. Perfect balance between classic and modern elements.

*

Jeffers Design Group has one of those portfolios that are overwhelming with never ending beauty and inspiration. This exotic bedroom caught my attention immediately:

*

Beige walls, dark hardwood floors and a soft blue ceiling. It is definitely the soft wavy lines and shapes that lifts this room from gorgeous to spectacular.

*

Just take a look at that headboard! The soft lines are repeated everywhere from the beautiful wallpaper to the bed skirt and all fabrics in the room.

*

Here is a closer look at the wonderful wallpaper. The designer hit two birds with one stone (no pun intended) by placing a desk besides the bed, doubling as a bedside table. The table lamps flanking the bed looks fantastic! Love the cobalt blue mirror too.

*

Beautiful textiles, and the chair is so cute.

*

*

Take a look at this fun purple, turquoise and pink table setting. I love the idea of hanging ornaments from the ceiling like this, in fact, I have done something similar in my own home, just not over the dining table. Sewing thread and hot glue gun baby! The colorful ribbons used here are pretty too. And while on the subject of pretty, check out the wallpaper over the fireplace.

A closer look. Very pretty indeed. Anyone know who designed it?

UPDATE: Thanks to Swedish blogger Åse from Interiorguiden we now know the beautiful wallpaper can be found at Osbourne & Little!

*

*

Black and white bedroom with yellow accents. The wallpaper is a bit busy.

*

Cream colored sofa in a white living room. The room is accessorized with black and yellow.

*

Would you consider a half round sofa like this? Looks cool, but it would require a room of a certain size…

*

Glossy white dining table with black chairs. I haven’t met anyone who has yellow doors!

*

Fun wallpaper.

I love checking out hotel rooms (no pun intended) for design inspiration. Here are some ultra modern picks from the luxury hotel listing at Splendia:

*

Fuchisa and White:

White bedroom with Fuchsia carpet, curtains and feature wall.

*

Love the big floor mirror, even the frame is pink. And from the reflection in the mirror you can see the headboard is actually pink plexi glass.

*

Black and Gold:

This white bedroom has a gold leaf feature wall, and behind the bed is a shiny black headboard that extends to behind the bedside tables.

*

A closer look at the bed.

*

A black framed version of the floor mirror in the former room. This one even has sconces mounted on it.

*

White, Pink and Orange:

Pink and orange is usually one of my favorite color combos (aren’t they all?), but this one is a bit limp..

*

Curtains go all the way from ceiling down to the floor to make the room look taller.

*

I didn’t even realise the Barcelona chair came in orange!

*

*

White bedroom with a rich brown fond wall and a super tall orange padded headboard. The headboard is framed by two equally tall mirrors.

*

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.

*

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.

*

*

The thing that really strikes me with this room is the surprising mix of classic beauty with 70’s crazyness!

*

Take this detail image of the bed for example. The canopy is a classic, while the aqua thread wallpaper is flat out retro.

*

My parents used to have the exact same wallpaper, and my cat used it as a scratch board… Blue threads were sticking out all over, lol!

*

Blue and yellow window seat in the same bedroom. White valances for pretty, gray blinds for effect!

*

Colorful floral wallpaper adorns this mini bathroom.

This fantastic apartment was featured in Architectural Digest as a Before and After feature. The thing that really strikes me, apart from the playful color palette, is the shiny ceilings:

*

Turquoise  and chocolate brown living room. When you have a large feature that you want to stand out, like the huge silver mirror, you can “frame” it by opting for one chandelier on each side, instead of one in front. The gold ceiling is beautiful and functional as it reflects the light from the pair of lanterns. I am absolutely in love with the chocolate colored sofa.

*

The second living room is a deep purple color, accented with various shades of blues and aubergine. The area rug is hot!

*

This turquoise and white kitchen is amazing! I love the seating area furniture!

*

The bedroom walls and ceiling is completely covered in a patterned silver and white wall covering. The result is amazing, as the light is reflected everywhere, washing out all boundaries. It’s like a red bed in a cloud, lol!

Pattern is a fantastic way to spice up a room without the need to add too much color. Lets take a look at some examples, with a particularly simple color palette of navy blue and white:

*

I love white chesterfield-style sofas! The bold patterns and sculptural accents are the life of this room.

*

This bedroom has all kinds of pretty patterns. My fave is the one on the headboard.

*

Beautiful vanity. When I see curtains with a band of color like that, I’m immediately reminded of Interior Designer Frank Roop!

*

Lovely blue and white checker patterned dining room floor.

*

Gorgeous blue patterned tiles in this kitchen! At a distance you see circles, and when you close in, you notice all the neat details.

*

What do you think of the blueprint wallpaper in this home office? I love it!
