Currently Loving: Dark Wall Rooms
I LOVE white rooms and having white lacquered furniture is one of my favorite looks, but having ONE dark, black or blue room is my ultimate faves (specially if the walls are high gloss. Currently, I’m SUPER attracted to blue and purple with black accents. I feel he need to incorporate these two colors throughout my home. In the current home, my decor is mostly white and I have yet to find a nook or space to convert into black (my sister Pamela already when black walls on her home office and it’s very sexy). I’d like to do the foyer in black, but my mind is not 100 percent there. My current plan is to bring accent of black, purple and blue (in all hues) and sprinkle evenly in most rooms in things like pillows, accessories, and in new art that I’m creating. I love creating art my self…. or getting my husband to make it for me. My vision, then he makes it happen. Happy wife, happy life.
There is something soooo inspowering when I see a dark room that has texture, flair, sophistication, zebra or cheetah print, metal (brass or chrome) and of course flowers+quarts in it. These are some rooms that frequently grab my attention and I just stare at it like It’s a delicious dark green salad I want to create and have, as I begin to salivate. Yeah, seriously.
I’m actually replicating in my own style the circle art piece in this picture above, I really love it. But what I also love is the dark blue tones with the splashes of purple in it. LOVE IT. Isn’t the carpet amazing?
Velvet sofas are so sophisticate it and dreamy…. Yes please, I’ll take two. My husband and I have decided on velvet drapery in purple for our bedroom, but we have to find the right purple hue. I absolutely love purple. It’s perfect for our bedroom because our prosperity Gua in Feng Sui happens to be in our bedroom and one of the symbolic, corresponding colors for that Gua is purple.
I personally would not bring black into a bedroom (for energy/Feng Sui reasons) but I do love the palette and combination of furniture and texture in this bedroom above. The trellis wallpaper is amazing, I gotta use at some point somewhere cause I totally love it!
I mean…. this one above might be a bit too black all around for me, but the Gustavian style chandelier is amazing in such a contemporary room. That’s always my favorite combination. transitional with classic antique pieces and contemporary abstract art.
Thick custom contemporary book shelving is something I LOVEEEEEEE. Three rows and filled with books laying flat on top of one another…. YES PLEASE.
Lacquered anything is a GO in my world, but specially having at least ONE lacquered, high gloss room, is a must! I just love that. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I think I made my point.
Am…. My favorite flower, the one and only: hydrangeas. I have them in almost every room of my house. My Top 5 fave flowers in order of love: 1) Hydrangeas, 2) Peonies 3) English Roses, 4) Orchids, 5) Dahlias.
There it is…that trellis wallpaper, my adoring hydrangeas, and that AMAZING antique mirror painted in black! What I really love about this room also is the thick white molding. I think that is what really makes the whole room come together…for me. …..Here we go underneath with the zebra print accent which is what takes the place of a trellis wallpaper, in my opinion. I’ll take both.
Zebra print table cloth
zebra print mirror frame
zebra print upholstery. It’s a zebra kind-a world. Dual realities.
