Brown rooms with brown furnishings can be welcoming, warm, elegant and comfortable. If you are on the fence about brown rooms with brown furnishing, check out some interior designs we found on Apartment Therapy for some brown on brown inspiration.
We all have a favorite celebrity, and we all wonder about the way they live outside of the public eye. We wonder how their bedroom is decorated, what direction their celebrity interior designer chose for the great room and what do their kitchens looks like. We know many celebrities have personal chefs , but are the designs of their kitchens the epitome of glamour? Are they contemporary or do they have an welcoming design? We found a few celebrity kitchens on Attic Mag and InStyle. Take a look and tell us what you think. Are they what you expected— over the top or nice and lived in?

It’s true, if used incorrectly animals prints on multiple large surfaces can immediately make a room appear tacky. If used correctly, sparingly throughout, the look will not only be exotic but very chic. We found some interior designs on ELLE Decor that used animal print perfectly. The prints are either on the floor, as upholstery for a few pieces of furniture or the throw pillows. The key to keeping the look elegant is to use prints on a few small pieces, or one large piece such as a rug or carpeting— but never all together. What do you think of the designs, are they exotic and chic?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a celebrity clientele? However, I hope that my clients feel as though I do treat them like “stars”. They all mean just as much to me! And I know for those of you who have followed my blog, you know it’s so very important to me that your home reflects you, and that your designer be conscience of your personal taste. I do think one of Martyn Lawrence-Bullard strong points is that he does get into the homeowners personality and reflect that in his design work. BRAVO! Take a peek at some of his amazing work…

Interior design continues to follows fashion. It seems as though every other week a fashion designer creates a line of home furnishings or fabric. World-renowned model Iman is now joining the ranks with her own line of fabric being sold through Calico Corners. IMAN Home is inspired by her Somalian heritage featuring bold, contemporary, and exotic yet elegant designs. She celebrated the launch of her line this week, along with Carlos Mota, by outfitting the VIP Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge at New York Fashion Week with her designs. What do you think of the bold fabric, can you see Iman in your home?

Do you know what’s on your nightstand? A book, a glass of unfinished water, reading glasses, a mere lamp even? When decorating the bedroom many people neglect their nightstands. Being right by the bed nightstands need to be practical for everyday use and appealing to the eye. Although small, nightstands can feature their own design and still be usable. Designing a nightstand vignette is a simple way to give your nightstand some style. Grouping 3 to 4 items on your nightstand gives you just enough design to make things interesting while keeping it practical. What do you think about these nightstand vignettes?

The bone china dinner and tableware come in various crystal-bonded designs.

Just imagine how the light would reflect off the Swarovski crystals during your dinner party. We are completely in love, take a look for yourself.

Yes, we already posted about all white rooms, but in this house every room is white. All white never really goes out of style and it always looks so clean and crisp. And of course we are completely in love with color, but white is so classic. Enough gushing and obsessing take a look for yourself and tell us what you think? Very different from our previous post, more simplistic, homey and lived-in, but just as chic right?
