Something worn

It’s nice when you mix old with new or combines a worn thing together with shiny new. It becomes personalised & not overwhelmingly ambitious – that’s sometimes rather liberating. Environments in different shades of white furnished with worn furniture where the wood shows through can never go out of style. The style is loved by many & is found in many countries, more or less consistent.

I like when the decor isn’t straight through furnished in worn white. It becomes a bit too much for my taste. However, it’s very appealing, with small groups of furniture or still life that creates exciting & unexpected solutions.

Coffee tables

Coffee tables are always relevant in my world. A piece of furniture that I can not get enough of. I have certainly cleared away a lot after many moves, so it’s probably time to start looking around for new friends. I think there’s a lot to choose from, many are flexible & can be used for various purposes – and its generally great price range.
I usually like small models / sizes for some reason. It is in any case usually what I come home with. Over time, they end up in different rooms depending on the situation or needs.

Hooks

Call me silly or strange but hooks are an underestimated as decor possibility in general. I thought I should put together some images to visualise looks & variations, in different areas of the home. It is simple to either make some yourself or find things that you can reuse for this purpose. Or buy expensive designer items that will last a lifetime. Or cheaper with a classic look & in great durable material. Also, as you know already, so easy to make changes that are simple, to vitalise the area. Put up a wallpaper, paint the wall behind, use colourful hooks or just colour match.

I like the idea to use hooks for everything or whatever. Hallway, kids room, kitchen, bathroom, office space , in the garden, the bedroom etc.

Styling

Styling is a great way to put together items without having to think of functionality. I at least would like to see rooms or decor which appear to work in reality. Such as, not having a lamp that hangs too low, so you bump your head every time you are getting up from your sofa. Styling is totally different – you still have all usual rules with composition, depth, lines, etc. But functions have no meaning & your imagination is the limit, in that sense. It does not have to work in reality. It’s more about inspiration.

XL Pendant lamps

I have tried to find the time to call an electrician to replace the ceiling lights in every room through the house – but it always ends up on the to-do list. The old ceiling lamps are still there, after the previous owner. The more time passes, the less we think of them, unfortunately. While I’m waiting to summon up time & energy, I thought it might be nice to take a look at some different design & inspiration. Moreover, we need to agree on what we want in the family – before we can contact the dear electrician. Sometimes it is bothersome with democracy 🙂
