Design Inspiration Monday

Geometric shapes, animal print, spots, and zig-zags.  So many patterns and such a dream.  It can be a little tricky when it comes to mixing different patterns in a room, but this delightful print mashup is perfect.  Matching a color or two from print to print will help with the flow and coordination of the patterns so that it won't end up an eyesore.  The cheery and playful colors add light and brightness to the space.  The neutral furniture pieces make it easy to change up the decor and complete look of the room without a huge investment.  I'm also seriously envious of that coffee table with the nail head trim...Looks like a potential future DIY project to me!  What is your favorite part of this living room?

With spring right around the corner, what better way to prepare than with a colorful floral wallpaper?  What I really like about this powder room is how the designer kept everything else a simple white rather than pick a color in the wallpaper and use the same color to accessorize.  With all the colors on the wall, the clean white keeps the room from looking childish and too matchey-matchey.  The black and white abstract artwork adds a modern touch.  It's girly and feminine but not completely over the top.  Now, I'm not much of a morning person, but I might become one if I could enjoy this bathroom while I conquer my coffee and doll up for the day.

This room.  The straight lines carry from the shape of the sofa to the lines on the rug.  The contrasting black and white is broken up with dark brown pieces mixed in.  The splash of color with the plum velvet accent chair is a pleasant surprise and doesn't draw attention away from the neutral flow of the room.  Also, my eyes almost instantly noticed that rose quartz colored pillow on the sofa and the faux cow head taxidermy on the wall.  I'm seriously obsessing over rose quartz and faux taxidermy right now...it may be a phase.  We'll see.  Moving on to the oversized bookcase, rustic reclaimed desk with the hutch.  Love how the faux fur on the chair at the desk makes more fun, cozier and less of a "work" space.

What's your favorite part of this room?
