Illustrative

From time to time I get stuck sometimes for prints & illustrations with simple, graphic & sometimes almost childish motives or traits. There’s something about them that makes them more personal & appealing. Not that I don’t like big well crafted paintings & artwork … but it’s maybe more about the innermost inspiration for the simple, somewhat cartoon & occasionally unfinished. Sometimes it can get to be black & white, sketched & maybe with an accent colour.

Other times it interesting with a lot of colour … but still on a limited scale & in collage form, perhaps. Such as further down on this post with the colourful postcards or posters, but still with the childish playful style. Illustrative, simple, cartoon sketch or animated graphic image that takes its place, regardless of size & fills the home with joy.

Necessary piece of furniture

The sofa is probably one of the most necessary piece of furniture in a home. The everyday activities of various family situations are significantly different from before. When I grew up, the couch was somewhat of a status symbol & absolutely not available for us kids to sit in. It stood there & dusted, between visits from friends & acquaintances. The few times we got to sit on the couch felt like something very special – and woe, if we accidentally spilled anything. It was equal to a death sentence.

Today there is a huge range, incredible comfort, varying prices & quality – not to mention removable covers. No worries about white sofas, it’s just to take off & throw in the washing machine.

Carpets

I am a great lover of carpets. Carpets have an important function in the home. Not only as a floor heater, but also to soften the impression, to bring in colour, pattern & home feeling. Rugs helps to reduce the noise level too. A room does not feel entirely finished or inhabited, until the carpet comes into place. Moreover, it keeps the room together – you get a base to start from. Ideal for children to play on or pets to lie on. Depending on the carpet’s appearance, it can become a decorative piece in the home. Equally useful on the wall such as the sofa. Or outside on the terrace. Coordinate or choose colours or pattern. Rugs, a must for the home.

Window with a view

As a person with an interest in beautiful things & pleasing design language, it’s a lot of images that passes through my everyday life, whether I’m looking for them or they just pops up in the moment. Sometimes it’s tasteful design, smart décor, stylish clothes or simply beautiful views. Some of these views, you may travel to experience while others are outside the window or just around the corner.
