Good as Gold!

By Bathroom, Bedroom, Black, Colours, Fireplaces, Kitchen, Livingroom, Wallpaper 4 Comments

GOLD is going to be hot hot hot this year in interior. Guaranteed!  So whether you sling gold together with white and pastels or rock it up in dark rooms you’ll be creating a space that oozes with style.  I think I’ll be opting for a spray can and blitzing up a few old vases or the like. An addition of wallpaper or a mirror in gold would be stunning. Whatever you do –do it with confidence and have fun!

‘Pip’ wallpaper

By Bedroom, Colours, Lighting, My work, Wallpaper No Comments

There is nothing more refreshing and positive using yellow in a combined guest/hobby room. Get those energy levels running on high!  I have just received some pictures from Elisabeth that was so lucky to win a competition of a few hours interior help from RoomDesign, through the used/recycling shop ‘DenGrønneBaljen’ (which is now closed unfortunately) here in Bergen.  Many ideas, tips and advice were discussed on how to furnish the guest room into a combined hobby room and some tips with colour and wallpaper for her bedroom.  See the results for yourself. I think it all turned out well don’t you think? And by the way for those who love  Helge Jordal, check out the last picture – Elisabeth has the most awesome picture of him in her entrance way!!! Thanks for sending the pictures,Elisabeth:-)

Shifting moods

By Colours No Comments

It’s okay we shift our moods all the time when decorating our home. One day minimalistic or the next day or month Glam&Rock! And sometimes, well most often, we are never satisfied.   But it’s the final result, the finishing touches, we are all looking for in a room, right?  Sometimes it’s the background to the room that is hindering that balance and harmony in the room. Have you the right colour on the walls to show off your art collection? Is the room missing atmosphere? How does the lighting affect the colour in the room? Many questions you have to ask yourself and where does one begin!   You can of course keep to a happy safe same colour background throughout your home or you can create an unexpected surprise with colour like the picture below. Shifting the moods from room to room and why not? Try you never know what the room will lead you to:-)

Happy day everyone and happy weekend too:-)))

 

 

Open plan living

By Colours, Furniture, Interior styles, Livingroom 3 Comments

More and more people are going for the all in one open plan living rooms. The bigger the better is the motiv but how is it to furnish the room. I like to move furniture away from the walls and try to create obvious zones. A sofa, chair or table at an angle will break up the linear aspect of a room. By retaining a single colour palette will the furniture be highlighted and makes as well the transitions between the different zones glide more into each other.

I found a picture recently which shows a good example of a family living in New York. The colours and the relaxed atmosphere to this apartment is absolutely sensational! You can follow the link under the picture to find more pictures of the apartment. Enjoy!

 

Have a happy day everyone:-)

 

 

Make your own style

By Colours, Shelving No Comments

Yes I am still alive and kicking. Has been a while, I know, since my last post but things have been super busy. Not complaining at all just loving it all! Now I don’t like to go banging on about things but for a fantastic interior all we need is confidence! Whatever you do…do it with dignity, be fearless, dare to be different, ditch all the normality’s, mix up all the styles up and be just YOU! Be inspired by all that is around you. Use magazines, blogs, people, colours…add a bit of this and add a bit of that find your own personal style. And don’t forget to add a bit humor otherwise life is just too boring. Bang! You’ve got something to work on to make an awesome home!

The dark side

By Bedroom, Black, Colours No Comments

Sometimes we have to go outside our comfort zone to achieve something awesome.  And painting walls in dark charcoals, sexy inky blues or black can just be the thing to create that absolute amazing space in your home. Follow your instinct and your heart…heres some inspiration for the weekend!

Colour kick!

Luckily colours are back in again.

I love this colour combination here with turquoise and yellow. Cool vibe! Loads of energy and balance and the wooden floor grounds the whole mix. Fun.

Sneak peek…

By Bedroom, Colours, Flooring, My work, Patterns One Comment

Painting walls and ceilings dark has to be the most fantastic experience in interior I have come across. It may not be for everyone but if you should just try a room you will be amazed at why you haven’t done it before. And by no means did the room look any smaller in fact I felt the room expanded out not in. When one uses dark colour on the walls and ceilings and floors remember shots of colour and enough lighting are essential to create a right balance in the room.

These pictures are just a little detail preview to my daughter’s bedroom. More pictures of the whole room will come later.
