Rooms of Inspiration



I like how this wallpaper can still have picture frames stuck to the wall, it doesn't look too busy. This second picture is not wallpaper, it's a large piece of fabric. This last picture has a decorative room divider intertwined with xmas lights.



I like this wallpaper on the first part of the picture, it looks like crayon. This room shows again how you can mismatch patterns.




A room divider, like the one shown, is used to provide a different texture against the wall. The bedroom shows placement of pictures to balance out the plain headboard.



A domino fireplace, and my favourite room- such a mismatch but I love everything inside this room. I especially love the pictures that go to the bottom of the wall with the striped wallpaper.

Pillows and Screenprints




A group of neutral colours, all with leaves and plant prints.



A quilted stripe, a mismatch of patterns made into a pillow top.

Sweaters converted into coverslips. A nice unifying backdrop with a theme following through on the pillows.

Patterns

Wood grain is really popular lately. I was thinking of making a journal or covering my binders.




Maybe I can use these on canvas to brighten up the walls.


You could use fabrics to make new shades.

Part 2:

Living Room:
Also awaiting a colour scheme. I want to stay neutral, but have one burst of colour.
There is no way I can get new furniture, so right now I'm just working with what I have. I also have to accomodate the radiator underneath the window.
For the curtains I was hoping for something loud, to be the focal point.. but the radiator means the curtain will have to be short or have a width bigger than the window frame. So these pictures are just a dream.
