Style in Paintings

December 30, 2009

With a few simple changes, any room in your home can be an expression of who you are. Decorating your home with beautiful art is the perfect way to express your personal style and it is fun to do!

Finding art that will compliment the rest of the room will enhance every piece of decor and impress everyone who enters your abode. Pick out your favorite colour and find a theme for your space. In this living room, we chose a beach inspired theme with earthy colours in the main furniture, and earthy textures within the carpet. We then played with the simplicity of the room and added some bright blues in the decor bowl, within the  ocean inspired pillows, the side decor tables, and within the painting.

Although we love everything about this space, the painting really is the stand out piece and enhances the entire beach comfort theme. We hope you can find art that makes your home a place of inspiration, comfort, and relaxation.

Decorate in Pink

December 29, 2009

Pinks and browns are two colours that work beautifully together when they are styled well. We hope to inspire you with this very simple and trendy table setting that allows the homeowner to express their style without looking overdone.

In the image above, the theme is a 1950′s inspired setting with faux coral, shells, and starfish to give it the cool California beach vibe. The walls are painted a very light pink to offset the darker pink/orange dining chairs, and brown is worked into the furniture, the shelves, and within the lampshade.

Decorate in Pink!

It is easy to get this same look, you just have to do a little modifying to a small space in your home. If you don’t already have a great set of shelves, find a set at your favorite furniture store, or have one custom made. Then pick out your favorite knick knacks and decor pieces that work well within your theme. Paint your walls a very light tone of pink, and find some great chairs you can reupholster if needed in the future. Personalize your home to give every space a stylish setting.

Connect Nature with Style

Personalize your outdoor space with a quick and easy style solution by adding a vintage bench to your patio. The great potted plants and vintage wicker basket all bring a neutral feel to this outdoor patio, with the one brighter hue of colour; the yellow painted wall. We made sure there was a connection between nature and style in every piece of decor in this image, and created a space that we love to enjoy for that much needed peace and quiet.

Shades of Blue

December 26, 2009

Creating an inviting and tranquil space for the guest bed in your home is important to making your guests feel comfortable and welcome. The bed in this image is simple yet elegant, and progresses the brighter shade of blue in the headboard into a more calming shade of blue into the pillows and bedding. This gentle transition in soothing shades enhances the comfort of this space, and will help your guests sleep well in their ‘home’ away from home.

Shades of Blue

In the bed posted above we found two great pieces of beadboard wood and painted them with a more antique feel. Combining comfort and style is very easy when you bring a personalized touch and a splash of colour to any space in your home.

There is something magical about this time of year; the decorations all over town, the opportunity to give to those you love, and the constant holiday parties you will be attending this season.

It is important to create a calming atmosphere in your home  that makes you feel comfortable and luxurious so you can unwind from that busy day. We suggest to buy some great smelling candles, votives, and vases in an array of sizes. Add some fresh flowers and you have created your own relaxation ‘spa’ in your living room. Candles add instant atmosphere to your relaxation methods and will be sure to add some style to your home.

Creating Space with Mirrors

December 21, 2009

Decorating with mirrors can be an easy way to bring space and style into any room of your home. Mirrors can be decorative and practical, so you really can’t go wrong with adding one, two, or even three to any space.

In this image we have paired two long vintage mirrors right next to one another to give the perception of length and depth in this small living room. They are parallel to a large window, so both sides reflect upon the other, giving this room the perception it is large, bright, and airy. The items placed under the mirrors are also light and airy, not to take away from the focus of the mirrors.

Light Your Home in Style

December 19, 2009

Light your home in style by adding interest with a trendy lampshade.

Just as your clothes go in and out of fashion, so does the rest of your home, and lampshades are no exception. If you have a simple room with solid coloured furniture and fabrics, it is always fun to add that extra touch in the most unexpected way. Lighting your home in style is fun and helps you personalize every inch of your space. In the image above, this striped shade is paired with a white dish and simple side table to keep the look clean and stylish. Check out your local boutiques to see if they have what you are looking for.

This new sitting space should be a different hue than your bed, so you can enhance the visual concept and depth of the room.
