Light streams through the beach side plantation shutters in this Hamptons styled room which is further emphasised through a neutral colour scheme of white, cream, ivory, sand and Hamptons blue. Timber floorboards ground the room and give a relaxed feel to the space with the addition of jute rugs, soft, plush furnishings in light colours and natural wicker baskets. Numerous cushions adorn sofas, occasional chairs and window seats in all shades of the colour palette as well as rich textures like a heavy knit. Natural elements of sun bleached driftwood, coral and rope accents dot the room to give it a holiday feel. Wainscoting and moulding as well as exposed mullion windows to remind the viewer of the stylish setting. Candles, understated chandeliers, mirrors and high whitewashed ceilings help to carry light around the airy space. The lines are simple, with pattern introduced in vases of varying tones of ocean blue. Warm throw rugs are strewn across the furniture to suggest snuggling up to read beside an indoor fire with the noise of waves in the background. The soy candles pictured (5) are from Style My Home and are poured on the Sushine Coast of Queensland and can be purchased here
This Hollywood Glam mood board aims to capture the essence of the era with a modern feel. The statement sofa is a soft and luxurious velvet texture in a rich navy hue, with tufted buttons and a low style back with armrests to invite lounging. The Gold band of metal around the base, gives the sofa a glamorous touch. The Chandelier, cut glass and mirror are elegant and timeless pieces that would bounce light around the room and add that Hollywood sparkle. Candles from Evin are presented in a beautiful moulded glass container that would give the room a warm glow and divine scent. Flowers would be essential to any Hollywood Glam space with classic roses and peonies in blush tones to femininity to balance some of the more masculine pieces.
The brass and gold accents would be solidified in the space by the addition of a drinks cart in the same metals. A drinks cart could be added to many rooms in a house to add that touch of class that is synonymous with Hollywood Glam style. Textures from faux fur accent cushions, rugs or throws add softness to the design. The minky tfaux fur throw pictured here can be purchased from West Elm. The colours chosen for this mood board reflect the overall glamour of the era. A deep forest green paint on the walls would help make it feel like a lovely cocooned space with reference to nature. Pink and gold are strength and elegance and grey could be used in rugs and other accessories such as cushions to help balance the stronger tones.
There is repetition in the pattern within the artwork, cushion and chandelier. An emphasis on glass and reflective cold surfaces is balanced by softer, warmer textures in the sofa, faux fur accents and flowers add an organic touch to the more geometric elements. This will create harmony within the design as there is a nice mix of curvilinear objects in objects and furniture and straight lines in the sofa base and artwork. The artwork pictured (1) can be found on Etsy and is made by HarperAndCharlie.
In this Moroccan inspired mood board the arch that is so prevalent in Moroccan design is present in the mirror, arched doorway and lantern. Light can be introduced through lanterns and soft candlelight and would be bounced from shiny metal surfaces within the room. The colours of Morocco are rich and jewel toned and are highlighted with the colour palette of marigold, rich blue, fuchsia and teal. Low comfortable seating and rugs give a comfortable feel and add texture to the space. Repeated patterns can be seen in archways and inlaid aspects of furniture. The lines of this mood board include geometric patterns in the lamps and pendants, as well as curvilinear lines. There are lovely organic shapes in the textured rug patterns, with a mix of elegance in the silver framed mirror, lamp and decorative plate and earthier tones in the rugs and pouffe.
