Romantic Interiors Inspiration

Romantic Interiors

Romantic interiors probably mean something different to everyone, but to me they tend to always have a foot in the past, wether because they were designed to look old and have a story to tell or because they really are. I also find that they tend to be slightly “imperfect,” and full of layers of texture and ever so slightly indulgent.

Okay, so this isn’t an interior, but isn’t this one romantic exterior? How could you not want to see the inside of this house?

Old wood floors, and iron chandelier, the space to be able to diagonally position one’s desk!

How amazing is this intricately carved and beautifully styled console?

Hope you don’t mind another exterior thrown into the mix. I grew up with Dutch doors so they’ll always be nostalgic and romantic to me.

Open shelves to show off a beautiful cream ceramics collection.

This iron canopy is what inspired this post. The molding and flowy drapes pooling on the floor clinched it too!

What makes an interior romantic in your opinion?

Neutral Interiors: Getting neutrals right

Neutral Interiors

Neutral interiors can be a beautiful, restful thing. Done wrong and your left with an overly vanilla and drab eyesore.

Here are neutrals that have it right:

The black drapery hardware, iron canopy bed, and thick black frame all add just enough contrast to create some depth in the space.

Leopard or other animal patterns are a way to do neutral but still add a lot of interest.

Mixing textures is another surefire way to add dimension to a space that has a lot of color in the same value.

Another example of mixing texture – the sisal, metal console table, iron lamp, and wood chests. If all of these pieces were in wood, you can imagine how the space might look more drab.

Chip and Joanna’s Fixer Upper Magnolia House

Fixer Upper’s B&B The Magnolia House

I’ve only caught a few episodes of Fixer Upper but the ones I saw I really liked. Then a photo of the Magnolia House caught my attention, and that’s what led me to discover that it’s a bed and breakfast owned by the couple.

Loving the shiplap – as we featured in a post last week! The chandelier in the living room is a nice touch too.

Shiplap abounds! And those teal cabinets! I really like them.

Iron canopy beds are so romantic.

I really love this space, which I imagine is the lobby.

Summer Bedrooms We Love

Summer bedroom ideas!

Maybe it’s not the first day of summer officially, but I always feel like summer starts after Memorial day. To me, one of the pleasures of summer is sleeping with the windows open, curtains blowing in the breeze and katydids chirping outside. Complete this feeling by creating the perfect summer bedroom. Inspiration waits below!

Life just seems a little sweeter and laid back in the summer, so adding a bohemian element is a nice way to welcome summer.

Crisp white bedding for warm nights, and that indigo blue rug!

Bedding with a warm pop of color like this coral print duvet breath life into this bedroom.

This is an amazing space made more amazing by the iron canopy bed and white canopy.

A summer bedroom doesn’t need to be white! Linen bedding, and area canopy, and natural textures all evoke summer.

The large window let in a lot of natural light, and the bold blue and white bedding reminds me of a day at the lake.

Nautical themes always have a summer feel to me. The upholstered bench is a great accent piece.

Tiny bedrooms that are absolutely amazing

A tiny bedroom might mean you have to live without some storage space, but by no means does it mean you have to live without style and beauty. See below for the proof!

Go for impact! With an iron canopy bed as dramatic as this one, no one is going to notice the lack of square footage in the this elegant bedroom.

Go for illusion. The crisp vertical lines in this room – the drapes, and stripes on the fabric – all draw the eye up to the amazing ceiling, and give the illusion of an airy space.

Go for cozy. Layer fabrics and textures and paint the walls a warm, saturated hue. This will make it apparent you wanted to embrace your small, intimate bedroom.

Go for light. A mirrored wall might make some shudder, but give it another look. Mirrors give you double the light effect when placed correctly because they reflect it so well. I always try to place a mirror on the opposite wall from the windows when I can. Imagine waking up in your bedroom filled with morning sunlight!

Go for multifunctional. An old trick but a good one. A headboard that also acts as a book shelf provides more opportunity to add style and function to a small bedroom.
