How to Style a Coffee Table

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

I change up my coffee table and console table styling very often. It is such a fun thing to do and makes the room feel fresh and new. Here are a few ideas to help you with your own styling:

1. Use a pot of flowers layered into the styling. I like to keep flowers either very high or very low. The height of the flowers depends on the height of the other elements in your styling. 

2. Use a tray to hold your styling together. I like to layer with a tray on part of the table and then layer outside it as well if you have space.

3. Layer with books. I like to have a stack of decorating or art books on the tray beside the flowers and then layer another piece on the top book.

4. Use a small dish as the top layering piece. I take one my lookslikewhite dishes and fill it with shells, marble eggs, small stones or any other natural element.

5. There are so many other elements to use in table styling like plants, statues, artprints, antlers, candles and so much more. Use items that have meaning to you and that make you happy to feature them where you can see them everyday!

Small Space Style

This  tiny space is soooo cute and really perfectly decorated for the size. They have used some small size pieces like the couch and coffee table mixed with some oversize pieces for impact...like the large light in the living room. I like the way they have used the dresser at the end of the bed, almost like a footboard...a great way to add a dresser when there is no space. 

Have a great weekend!

Victorian Home Love

Where to begin talking about this amazing house? A renovated Victorian in San Francisco, this house is traditional, quirky, vintage and sophisticated all rolled into one. In the first picture there are so many things to look at! A stuffed peacock (really?), a bird under a cloche, a vintage clock and that is just the beginning! In the kitchen check out the custom hood (oh so gorgeous), the vintage stove and the new, yes new, fridge that looks vintage. The dining room has more antiques and vintage finds layered upon layer with the mirror and the statue and cool vintage bottles...oh I could go on. Did I mention the floor in the bathroom and kitchen? So great.

Take a look HERE for another wonderful Victorian home in San Francisco and HERE for one of your favorite Victorians that I featured..

Enjoy!

Vintage Rustic Home

This is such an unusual home I am not exactly sure how to describe it....Rustic for sure with vintage style lighting and furnishings...but it is kind of kooky at the same time don't you think. The kitchen is made up of recycled pieces of wood but it is the pattern, texture and colour of the wood that makes it so amazing. Each room has hanging bulb lights which I love but it the dainty one in the living with the fringed shade that is really sweet....What do you think of this home?

Inspiration in White: Astier de Villate

I love ceramics because as you may know I am, amongst other things, a potter. Many years ago I was in New York at ABC Carpet and Home (also known as the most beautiful store ever!) and discovered this line of handmade, all white ceramics from France. Incredible quality and beauty, I knew I wanted to collect this pottery, despite the elevated price tag. 

Last year I had to travel to Paris many times for work. I had a day off and decided to explore the St-Germain-des-Prés area and came across this wonderful little shop but it was closed. I peeked through the window to better see what they had and I realized it was a boutique filled with Astier de Villate. I came back later when it was open and bought a candle in a ceramic jar and each time I traveled back to Paris I bought another piece as my special treat. I now have several pieces and treasure them so much! They also have an amazing line of paper goods as well.

Here are a few photos from a feature that Lonny Magazine did in the March issue on Astier de Villate.

White Decor with Ikea

This sweet apartment is filled with furniture and accessories from Ikea but what I love about it the styling! I have seen these dining room chairs at Ikea and I think they would work with so many different styles from modern to vintage. The bed tucked against the window is perfect in a small room and with the curtains in front makes a cozy little space. The inspiration board in the office is done on a wood shelf or board which is a great idea. You could do this on an rough wood board and it would look amazing!

Updated Traditional

What I find interesting about this traditional home is the balance in each of the elements throughout each space. The design of the home was done with symmetry in mind from the front driveway to the courtyard where scale and proportion is evident throughout. Even though the house is very traditional, I like the little surprises throughout with vintage lighting in the kitchen and the big antique doors in the sitting room.

Although this is not my favourite style of decor I do appreciate the beauty of the finishing and the detail put into a home like this......well done.

Enjoy!

From Schoolhouse to Hip Hotel

The owners of this former schoolhouse, turned luxury boutique hotel, have given it a wonderful hip vibe yet maintained the beautiful details of its former life. This hotel, located in Park City, Utah,  exudes warmth and style and what a great place it would be to stay in winter (skiing) or summer (with that gorgeous pool!).
I love the architecture of the building with the high ceilings and the beams all painted white. The use of antique furniture against the modern fixtures in the bathroom is such a great mix and just the way I would like to see a historic building reworked. Thanks to Rue Magazine for sharing this!

Enjoy!

Simple Beauty: White Decor

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger... 

The simplicity of this cabin is so appealing. I am always struck by how some people can keep the minimal in their home and make it look stunning. I always put more instead of less and have trouble editing my home because I love everything so much. When I am in a clients home it is easy as I am not so attached to each of the pieces...so I am determined to simplify and this home is my inspiration.

Clean lines, modern furniture, white on white....no fuss and each piece becomes a statement...love it but could I live in it? What about you?

Enjoy!
