Where you expect a chandelier to be hanging in every single room. Traditional, classical, ornate, fancy schmancy, by British designer Robert Kime. (I need to find a huge sparkly chandelier for my dressing room - I am especially desperate for one now with this post).
I am a big fan of New York City-based interior design firm The New Design Project and was stoked to hear from them about this new project. This absolutely stunning loft is a dream and furnished impeccably, including a collection of lighting that is to die for. Fresh and serene, this is a Park Avenue loft with a decidedly downtown feel. The space is refined and elegant but modern and relaxed. Sculptural lighting, such as the Lariat 3 by Apparatus Studio and String Light by Michael Anastassiades, adds drama and emphasizes the high ceilings, whilst oversized artwork and bold textiles, such as the Diego rug by Eskayel, add color and depth. Iconic mid-century pieces inspired by the designs of Hans Wegner, Poul Kjaerholm and Eero Saarinen, are paired with more contemporary custom millwork, such as the black and brass floating wall shelves, floating upholstered bench, and marble and black oak nightstands. A curated collection of accessories in a mix of sizes, shapes and materials, completes the scheme.
Take an ancient stone farmhouse in Tuscany - add some subtle modern additions then furnish it with some art deco style furniture with accents of brass and some glamorous glass light fixtures. What you end up with is one of the dreamiest homes I have ever seen. Via Bo Bedre, photos by Monica Spezia.
I have a "thing" for lighting. Table lamps and floor lamps, wall washers and pendants. Layer upon layer of ambiant lighting. I think it's like adding jewellery to an outfit. Little sparkles and highlights. Time for a little lighting eye candy, in particular pendants.
This house is a total dream!!! OMG! A living room with the most beautiful dark walls (and that mirror! that chandelier!), a new spacious kitchen, a rustic boho dining room (with THREE vintage chandeliers!!! and exposed brick!), original/reclaimed wood walls, white painted wood floors, a Victorian 'decaying' bedroom, gorgeous tile in the bathroom... this is eclectic style that cannot be beat. LOVE!!! Via Shoot Factory.
