The Kings of color

One of the many great things about blogging is all the different types of design and style one gets to be exposed to. I usually take my time and study those that are more interesting to me. I'm always interesting in understanding the rooms I'm looking at by paying attention to every detail, things like the mixture of furniture, lighting, scale and so on... I think that one of the things that make a designer standout is of course the selection of their furniture and how they put them together but also is the overall atmosphere that conceptualizes the room. Not many people like to see rooms with unconventional-looking furniture (like the one in the first picture) but I think that is what makes a room personal and chic. Diamond Baratta Design epitomizes that concept; The firm has been working for decades and have created rooms that are one of a kind, chic and transitional. I mean they've been only featured in more than 100 magazines.

Gone over the weekend, confusing the spaces and Lure Fishbar

My hubby went off to Munich over the weekend and I'm a little bit nostalgic about the great days we spent there over the summer. Why did I stay this time again...? But thank goodness for good friends. After all what do we have friends for if not to cheer us up...so I met up with a few over the weekend and between glasses of Rose and bites of Tuna Tartare at a Restaurant called Lure which looks exactly like a boat, we had a great time. I hope you had enjoyed your weekend as well. While I was visiting Elle Decor a few days ago I came across three rooms that had something very interesting in common and that is great proportions. The three share more or less the same size of space, one with high ceiling the other two not so much but they played with scale using big furniture that according to convectional believes would make any room look smaller. Although these rooms look spacious and open. While I'll continue studying these rooms (you see, I take design very seriously) I think that what makes these rooms work is that the furniture is placed in an informal way and leaving enough space between them for flow. What about you...What do you think make these three rooms work so well?
