Finally it's sunny again outside. Get spring inside by changing a few things in your interior. For instance update your home by adding a fresh and sunny carpet.
A few examples.
This would me a great solution for the open space between our living room and the hallway. Especially in winter time I miss a door here. But it 's a rental apartment and I don't know for how long we will be living here... Maybe a good idea for our next home.
A great benefit of using a mirror in your interior is that it makes a room more spacious. Beside this it is a beautiful object to decorate your home with. A round mirror is a bit less predictable and a friendly form. What do you think?
I'm very fond of the lighting collection of Tom Dixon. Unfortunately the copper shades were cut of a project recently because of the budget, what a shame....
At Maison et Objet Tom Dixon launched a collection with smaller things, called Eclectic.
Cool name don't you think?
I would like to have this beautiful chop board, you can't see it very well but there is a golden detail laid in the board.
Vicini is a new italian restaurant in Rotterdam. I like the industrial interior style, with the raw materials and the fabric fishes that are hanging in the space. They remind me of the work of Paola Navone and give the interior identity.
It's time to go to Rotterdam to eat good simple italian food!
At Maison & Objet last month I noticed all shades of ocean blue. This is the color trend of 2012! Combined with a touch of yellow it is just summer, exactly what we need right now...
At the stand of Antonio Lupi they combined the Ghost chair of Gervasoni in this beautiful turquoise with wood and shades of grey. That's a combination I adore and it's definitely a color/material scheme I'm going to use this year.
In the spring of 2011 my boyfriend and I moved in together. Two interiors became one and it changed a lot since. I'm happy to show you finally some pictures. Fore more pictures you can visit my website Studio Nest
I saw this handmade word for the first time at home of a friend and I really liked it. It's so cheerful. It's for at the lovely shop Restored in Amsterdam.
The designer, Fleur Goedendorp, get's inspired by materials, rhythms and construction that result in her words that can be worn as jewelry or as decorative art in an interior.
I have a new crush, lately i'm into round mirrors and this is the one! The strap Mirror from HAY is on my wish list and the nice thing is that it's really affordable so hopefully it will be hanging on my wall soon...
Visiting the fair Maison&Objet this weekend reminded me of what a wonderful and inspiring designer Paola Navone is. I met her once when I organized lectures at the Woonbeurs and I had to announce her, very exciting. She was very friendly and one of a kind.
I love the series she designed for Richard Ginori, the reinterpreted 1000kg of porcelain, that was for sale at Merci in 2009.
