Barely there

Tone on tone wall paper can subtly add an elegant look to your space. I am thinking of doing my dining room in one of these options and think they are beautiful!
This circle option could be busy in a more dramatic color combination, but I think in this metallic option would add a perfect amount of sparkle to a space
This pattern would be a striking addition to any room, commanding attention but still letting other options and materials be noticeable in your space




A modern geometric will instantly create a contemporary atmosphere in your quarters

This "spider web" pattern is a statement, not every house on the street would have the guts to pull this look off, but it will be worth the risk choosing an original style

Color Scheme, Photo inspiration


I find it difficult sometimes to come up with a new fresh color scheme. It helps looking through magazines, websites, etc. for inspiration or you could also turn to nature and your own photo's. I took this photo on a weekend away during this summer and immediately thought this would be a beautiful color scheme.




These metallic vases bring in a shiny version of the rustic boulders in the image

Although this area rug is quite colorful, to me it has a subtle peaceful look to it

Pillows in bright bold patterns are a prefect way to interject some personality to your space

A sofa is usually the largest piece in a room. Upholstering this piece is a dark charcoal gray will ground the space (and be functional for stains, etc.)

This funky chair will contrast beautifully against the charcoal gray sofa
