The art of decorating is no mere feat. Not only does it require a robust sense of aesthetics woven in with practicality, but more importantly; decorating and design also demand soul. In our quest for soulful and inspiring designs, we stumbled upon 7 spectacular living spaces inspired by design aesthetics from everywhere in the world!
African Décor Inspired Living Room
The African décor aesthetic is all about energy, dynamism with touches of bold. We love this room right here for the same reasons. The colours in this room particularly are reminiscent of Africa’s sun-burnt earth and its burnt orange sunsets. The presence of large works of local art serves to accentuates the feeling. Work the look at home with a colour palette that mixes deep browns, burnt oranges and dark greys. Look for accessories, wallpaper or rugs with rural or animal motifs. Think hand-woven wicker baskets for a rustic touch.
Victorian Style Dining Room
This beautiful Victorian cottage style dining room in Arkansas is the stuff of dreams! With its chipped dining table and an elegant set of Victorian chairs, matched beautifully with Gothic window frames, a chandelier and turquoise floors, the room is inspiring to say the least. Cottage style decorating is all about natural comfort and pure, unadulterated charm. Distressed wooden surfaces in combination with white, taupe, oyster shell and grey make for wonderful elements to bring home this style.
A Bedroom in French Country
This dreamy bedroom celebrates the stylish coming together of the earthy and the chic, to create a modern and updated French-country aesthetic. It’s warm and Old-worldly and yet exudes sophistication and finesse. In terms of colours work with whites, ivory, ecru, grass green, muted blues, sunrise yellows, soft lavenders and misty greys. For the bed, select an upholstered antique white bed with a tufted headboard. Accent with vintage pieces that showcase your personality. Think modern silhouettes; go with straight lines and smooth, gentle curves.
The Royal-Blue Urban Kitchen
The stunning blue kitchen designed by San Francisco-based Studio Muir was one of Instagram’s most popular rooms in 2016. The royal blue tone makes such a stunning impact lending to the kitchen a contemporary and urban flair. The design also throws in the charm of a marble stone bar, timber bar stools and globe pendant lights, making it truly worth coveting.
Bathroom with Modern Neutrals
This bathroom is part of a gorgeous Hampton family home that is all about the simplicities of life with lots of neutrals, white walls and warm woods. And while the house as such is full of charm, we love this bathroom here with its beautiful basket weave floor tiles, a modern bath tub, light grey textured wall tiles and those gorgeous white wooden glass doors that bring in oodles of natural light. Decorating with neutrals is easy. One of the ways to incorporate neutrals in your home décor is by working with different shades in the same colour family.
A Monochromatic Laundry Room
A monochromatic colour palette is an absolute classic, and one that will never going out of style. We discovered a stylish laundry room decked in monochromes and were impressed beyond compare. The all-white room pops thanks to its painted black door and window frames. The transformation is almost too good to be real. If you love this palette, there are knick-knacks galore available today. Bring home black accent pieces to complement your white spaces. If you’re new to decorating, remember to use pops of black on an all-white backdrop, to make your rooms stand out without overwhelming the eye.
Cool Blue Home Office
Inspired by the calming hues of pastel blue, this home office is both stirring and pretty. Notice how the room has been layered with different shades of the same colour, to add depth. The wooden table top, the chair legs and the wooden knick-knacks add dollops of character. Layering with different shades of the same colour is an interesting way to decorate. A great way to experiment is by using pillows or cushions and layering with shades of the same colour in different patterns and prints.
