Interior designer Adele McGann takes us through her apartment and shares her top tricks for style on a budget. Her tips include creating a tile look on plain walls with a sharpie pen, faux crown molding with designer tape and brass chicken wire on the book cabinet for a custom furniture look. Check out this video created by LXTV:

What do you think of Adele’s ultra budget friendly tips? She sure deserves an applause for creativity!

Remember this post I did a while ago on hidden fireplaces? Well, here is what the rest of Interior Designer Kelly Giesen’s beautiful apartment looks like. The thing I love about Kelly’s home is all the clever ways to hide what you don’t use!

This dreamy white bedroom is covered in an ultra feminine cream pearl wallpaper. Behind the beautiful mirrored doors of the corner closet…

*

.. Is a home office! This tiny space is also the home of the sound system, pretty wrapping papers and design books.

*

Here is the beautiful mantle which has a built-in TV behind the custom mirrored screen door.

*

The kitchen and dining area. Kelly’s counter tops are white marble, and she exchanged the glass in the middle cabinet door for mirror. She also installed an antique door in front of her kitchen cabinet. The dining area to the left is so pretty.

*

And here is a quick view of the living room. I would love to see more of that entry door, it looks spectacular!

Interior Designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd’s design philosophy is simple; looking good in your own home. She even wrote a post on her blog about personalizing your home with the colors you naturally gravitate towards, which apparently are the colors that suits us best. Eileen is well known for her beautiful use of bright and bold colors in her designs, and it doesn’t end when she gets off from work. Here is Eileen looking gorgeous in the center of her creations:

Her wardrobe is definitely enviable!

LXTV takes us on a tour of Eileen’s home, where she shares some tips and tricks on how to use your wardrobe as inspiration for your home decor:

*

Have you ever used clothes as inspiration for decorating? I find this really interesting. Clothes have never inspired me to decorate, but decoration has definitely inspired my clothing..

I love this bedroom makeover. Editor of Decorating Magazine Lacey Howard transforms a plain white bedroom into a warm and welcoming delight of taupe, corals and pinks:

*

The Bed:

Before the makeover starts, this bedroom is pretty much a clean canvas of white. The white ribbon on the bedsheets..

*

… is exchanged for a coral one. New bedside table and white plates as wall decor. A small vignette is created on the bedside table with a framed pink painting and a bouquet of flowers.This transformation is awesome! Rich warm colors.

*

The Closet:

The folding doors of the closet are removed.

*

And replaced with curtains for a softer and more open feel. The curtain rod is wider than the actual closet to make the closet look bigger. Now there is not just a wall with a closet, the whole wall is the closet. Love the warmer shade in the closet.

*

The Dresser/Desk:

This is the dresser you saw in the closet, and it has been replaced by..

*

The former pink nightstand. A glass side table turns this nook into a tiny home office slash vanity. To really make this alcove feel like a space of its own, the walls are covered in beautiful beige butterfly wallpaper.

*

The Seating Area:

The seating area was clean, simple and pretty before..

*

.. but absolutely stunning after! The coral pink curtains placed wider than the actual window frame makes the window look a lot bigger, and frames the sofa perfectly. The floor lamp (which was moved to the bed) is replaced with a white shell chandelier, and white ottoman tables and recliner each received new slipcovers.

This is definitely how you do pink room without it looking like a little girls room.

Watch the video to see the whole transformation taking place!

How can you not be inspired by these gorgeous pictures from the home of interior designer Jamie Drake?

*

I think this champagne and bright purple color combination is absolutely fantastic!

*

Bright purple velvet sofa and a classic chair with modern zebra pattern.

*

I think the fabric on these sofa chairs is simply fantastic.

*

The dining room continues the color scheme from the living room of champagne and purple, the latter being a cooler tone. To distinguish the dining area from the living room in this open plan solution, another color is worked into the dining area; a deep turquoise.

*

I can’t help but enjoy a perfect open plan solution. It can be a challenge to create two separate spaces, which is still part of the same room. Jamie Drake has used both color and furniture style actively here. The dining room furniture is very modern.

*

Camel color bedroom with turquoise accents. Very fresh!
