Pattern play & pop of color

Ludmila — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 04:00:30 +0000

Ever since I remember myself I loved analyzing stuff whether it’s a situation, story, setting or vignette – it was always fascinating to learn (or at least imagine and guess) why did it happen that way, what was the reason and the result of a certain behavior etc. constantly trying to stay true to myself, striving to be the image of my opinion. So I thought a cool idea would be to bring this hobby (?) of mine to the blog, focusing on rooms that were appealing, discussing here why were they appealing. Let’s proceed :)

Here are the details that caught my eye:

The bright green runner, I mean wow!, someone wanted to pop out, don’t you think? I love it, it’s the perfect amount of color in this room as it’s the only bright shade here so it doesn’t feel too crowded.
The mix of patterns: polka dots, zebra and Xs are definitely an unexpected combo, but they somehow work out together just fine, this hallway feels playful and the black and white is softened thanks to them!
Matching runner, lamp and stool (oh, and the coat too!) – will say it again: perfect splash of color! Fresh and modern, while remaining simple.
The curtain – mixed feelings about this one, it’s like an attempt to make a transition from bright green to white and in my opinion it looks okay-ish, I would choose something different.

That would be it for this hallway. My conclusion? Love love love it!

Eye-candy

Ludmila — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:12:07 +0000

Hi all, I have been missing for a very long while and I apologize (again!), but thanks to sweet readers who sent me emails asking if everything’s ok and showing concern, I appreciate it a lot! Yes, everything’s fine, life is busy and I must learn to organize better in order to manage blogging just as I did before. Promise to do my best to stick around this time :)!

Let’s talk business now :). With emerald green being this year’s color I can’t help but get back to all shades of green over and over again and this collection is particularly appealing as each space is simple, but the green accents are the cherry on the cake providing that needed dose of grandeur and elegance. Also, these rooms have the home-y feeling therefore they’re going to my bookmarks asap!

Have a great week!

Add some gold to it

Ludmila — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:26:48 +0000

Gold is such a timeless detail and it fascinates me how big of a change gold accents can add to a room, outfit, table or to anything else. I’m loving golden touches lately and I especially enjoy seeing them in home decor in form of chairs, shelves, candlesticks etc. Of course it’s adorable to see golden macaroons, but still nothing beats a stunning golden chandelier in a relaxing bedroom.A girl can dream :)

Color coordinated

Ludmila — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:03:24 +0000

Lately I’m feeling so attracted by simple color schemes which obviously lead up to pretty color coordinated rooms. I enjoy seeing how people use one color (or a combo) throughout an entire room as it adds such a delicate touch and the room feels very neat and chic. Depending on which color you’re going with the room can become feminine, cozy or plain modern. Whatever the result is it’s clear that a color coordinated room looks also very organized and all this together is a winning combination :). Here are a few examples:

Colorful kitchen cabinets

Ludmila — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:55:03 +0000

Perhaps colorful kitchen cabinets aren’t my cup of tea at the moment (remember when I was saying how my aesthetics has a tendency to change over time? well, let’s say I’m more for a sleek and modern design now). Nonetheless, I can’t help but love the colorful kitchen cabinets from this post, they’re bringing so much joy into any space and being that a kitchen is an area where we spend a lot of time in pops of green, blue, yellow or red sound pretty much perfection! There is one ‘but’ – although I like this idea I’m wondering how does one feel when actually having colorful kitchen cabinets, doesn’t it feel too much?

Winter wedding

Ludmila — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:08:02 +0000

Don’t know how about where you are, around here winter is still in full force, with snow and freezing temperatures (I can’t deal with it anymore!). It’s annoying that in March we have this weather and I thought what better way to try seeing the beauty of winter (as hard as it can seem) than by sharing a gorgeous winter wedding shot in Serbia, on Kopaonik (a mountain here). The details and colors are stunning, my jaw literally dropped after seeing the amazing cake, the heart shaped macaroons, the wintery bouquet and how happy the newlyweds were despite the coldness (you can see it through the pictures, brrr!).

I hope you could get an idea or two for your own (or someone else’s) wedding, these pictures are definitely worth bookmarking :)

Color+inspiration: Burgundy

Ludmila — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 11:12:55 +0000

Burgundy was all over fashion this past fall and if you’re following the trends you have at least one piece in burgundy. And it got me thinking how does this color embracing interior design – to my surprise burgundy isn’t very popular in home decor, but I can’t say I don’t understand why, after all this is a bold hue requiring attention when creating color palettes as not every color pairs nicely with burgundy, don’t you think so? Personally I doubt I would paint my bedroom in burgundy as I would probably fear the darkness the room will receive, however accent pieces look pretty good adding a touch of elegance (a result close to what plum gives to a space – royal and sophisticated).

What’s your opinion on burgundy?

As long as I remember myself I wasn’t a big fan of burgundy, but now I have to say I’m loving it in fashion, it’s such a rich and gorgeous color!

Calming nursery

Ludmila — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 11:39:36 +0000

I came across this nursery some time ago and I immediately knew it’s going to my bookmarks! It’s no surprise I love to stare at pretty nurseries, but this one felt so very soothing and appealing that I thought to myself how amazing it would be if I get to have such calming space! All white and creamy this room is sure to teach a little one serenity. Oh, and the room has stripes – who doesn’t love them, right?
