Fabulous living rooms for every mood and taste

I'm not sure what you'd call the two styles above -- modern eclectic? But I'm liking this style more and more these days. Since things don't "match" you can use items you already have instead of buying new ones.

This living room - pictured above and below - is so unusual and luxe.  I ADORE the white media console and the huge white mirror...stunning

An otherwise dark and broody "club" like living room is brightened up by an interesting array of mirrors.

Take your pick: Living rooms for every taste and style

Along with your bedroom and the kitchen, I think the living room is one place in the house that should be a reflection of you - and be comfortable and beautiful. Hopefully one of the images below will provide some inspiration:

De Sede ds-207 Sofa

I really like the swiss design and De Sede are one of the best brand to come out of Switzerland.

One thing I find about De Sede is the sofas just work so well in white. I'm not sure why but the design, shape and form are exposed in the white leather as pictured.

The ds-207 is just one of many examples from de sede sofas and hope the white thing make sense.

Dadone Sofa from B&B Italia

As mentioned in the post about the feather lampshade in this post a B&B Italia sofa with its ultra clean lines in a contemporary living room would mix well with natural looks of the lampshade.

The pictured Dadone sofa is an example of just one configuration that the Dadone comes in.

The Array of fabrics colours and leathers let along the sizes and configurations allow this modern sofa to fit in almost and living rooms.

Kwanbgho Lee Feather Lighting

This lampshade offers a natural but contemporary and modern feel to a living space.

Called the feather it looks a little like bird wings or in my opinion like bits of wood.

I think this would work so well will a contemporary white room e.g. a living room that is very clean and minimalist with the likes of flexform or B&B sofa and arco lamp with this feather lampshade..

Spring clearing - the living room!

The living room - does it need any grand introduction? Like the kitchen, it is a major part of the home, a place where every one gathers to relax. With everyone in and out a lot of stuff is left behind - so this weekend, lets freshen it up!

• Dust ceiling, vents, fans, artwork, shelves, lamps, mantel, books, and cobwebs with a feather duster. Make sure your feather duster is made from ostrich feathers, though! Other feather dusters, that aren't made from ostrich feathers, won't pick up the dust.

• Wipe tabletops, baseboards, and windowsills with a microfiber cloth. You can make a furniture polish to really put a shine on everything.

• Dry clean slipcovers, drapery, and cushion covers. You can download a list of eco-friendly dry cleaners at the EPA's website.

• Spray windows, glass tabletops, and frames with glass cleaner. Vinegar and water works great for cleaning windows, or you can whip up a batch of eco-friendly glass cleaner, too.

• Tidy newspapers, books, magazines, and accessories. Try a new way of organizing your books, and color coordinate them. When in doubt about arranging accessories or artwork, arrange in threes.

• Sweep and mop, or vacuum and spot treat floors. For a super-fresh smell on your living room rugs and carpets, try using lavender. Lift cushions of chairs and sofas and vacuum.

A sad day - and a loss for the web

This morning I went to check on the Domino website and it was gone!!! This is devastating, as I wasn't finished collecting images! I've been in denial for so long. A moment of silence my friends.

A hodge podge of homes!

I'm doing a little spring cleaning of my inspirational folders. Here are some images that for some reason or other didn't make it on any of the posts, but are lovely all the same! *If some of these are repeats I do apologize!





I like this apartment featured on Apartment Therapy. It is orderly and neat, but it has a nice human touch - something we could all replicate in our own homes.
