John Willey

As I mentionned back in a post in '08, Manhattan interior designer John Willey is an inspiration for those who believe that beige is a colour. Because he certainly does NOT. His spaces are wrapped in bold colour and pattern and give off lots of fun energy. He's a genius, what can I say. Here are some newer photos from his portfolio.

OH! This is something I will strive to do in our new home. It will be on a much smaller scale and smaller budget but I love how this house makes you feel like everyone is welcome to the party. Colour, style, you name it, it's in there. Asian, country, traditional, retro and it all works so beautifully with tons and tons of colour. LOVE IT!

I love the unexpected pallette in each room and the consistancy of circular forms throughout. Each room has distinct conversation pieces that are also fully functional. LOVE.

I like all of it. My favorite piece would be the chair of the mongolian hair trim.

Finally rooms without white walls (which can be lovely, mind you)! Ahhh some unexpected color combinations and bold use of wallpapers that work!

I follow your blog on google-reader and rarely comment, but I just had to say I LOVE this post. Such clever, harmonious use of bold color--especially smitten with that bedroom, those little retro touches that don't feel dated in the least.

Thank You.
