My Interior Design Style

I have been tagged by Brooke at Velvet & Linen and Lauren at Pure Style Home to choose only one image that represents my style. This took way longer than I expected because I couldn’t find one room where I liked almost everything! The hardest part about it is finding ONE image, I also love a look combined with mid-century furniture as well as more contemporary. I finally settled on this one from Jamie Drake for the dramatic, traditional, yet contemporary feeling combined with fabulous colour!

When I choose a place to live, I walk into the space and go directly to the windows. If I like what I see outside, I look around inside. A beautiful garden and a view (what I have now where I live) is perfection! Here in this photo, you can see there’s a wonderful garden outside.

I love french doors (they are not shown here but were in every room that I love). What I like about this room is:

1. The mostly neutral furniture with the hits of chrome yellow and bristol blue! I never decorate a room for a client without including toss cushion fabric options and designs. I think they truly pull a space together, like they do here as well. I also like the fact that nothing matches (except for the pair of yellow chairs) but it all looks great together!

2. The tall endless french country windows with the dramatic drapery treatment.

3. Ottomans. They create such versatile seating arrangements.

4. I also like the touch of whimsy created by the bird lamp.

The flowers that have been placed in the room become secondary next to the dramatic palm that really makes this room! Also I think every living room could stand a touch of animal print!

If anyone wants to take on this little project, you are tagged! Let me know in the comments if you want to play! I look forward to seeing yours!
