I have always had a love of rooms that are decorated to the hilt...lots of things on table tops, lots of pillows...busy I guess you could say. But lately, I've found myself drawn to rooms that are actually quite bare. The simple placement of a sofa and nothing more than a frame with no art hung above it. Or a sumptuous bed placed in the middle of the floor in a room with only a night stand and a vase full of gorgeous hydrangeas. Take a look at the photos here. For me, each room is so soothing.
 |
| This plum tufted bench with white legs paired with the vase is stunning |
 |
| I am still all about muted whites, creams, grays |
 |
| Love this bath - from a home in Greece |
 |
| I find myself drawn to Gothic, dark wood paired with white |
 |
| This room only needs the rumpled sheets and sumptuous drapes |
 |
| This is what I'm talking about when I mention the bed in the middle of the floor - love it |
 |
| A perfect nook |
 |
| Understated glam |
 |
| I like the different woods here -- they add texture and that's all this room needs |
 |
| The walls and floors are the stars of this room |
 |
| With these paneled walls, what else do you really need? |
 |
| The color of this chair is so wonderful - and I love those books |
 |
| Another room with the main piece of furniture in the middle of room instead of against a wall |
 |
| This room has the Gothic element I so love - and the mural is wonderful |
 |
| An elegant stairway -- surely a beautiful woman dressed in black is about to emerge |
 |
| I think the star of this room is the light |
 |
| Again, the molding in this room is the focus |
 |
| This dressing room only needs the white bench and the mirrored walls and doors |
 |
| The tub has a simple modern shape and is terrific paired with the chippy shutters and shabby look of the room |
 |
| This room seems very castle-like -- LOVE this |
 |
| Marble and marble -- great |
 |
| The bold reds and pinks against the old faded plastered wall is so lovely |
 |
| Those are some great windows |
 |
| This room is in Sweden |
 |
| I would be happy to give my right arm for the ceiling beams here |
 |
| More beautiful paneling paired with an amazing floor |
 |
| The obvious star of this room is the wall color - not quite pink, not quite salmon - what color is this? |
 |
| A round bed that takes up the entire room -- how cozy |
 |
| Beautiful, random textiles that all work together so beautifully |
 |
| This appears to be a staged vignette, but still lovely |
 |
| Bare walls are not something you will find in my house -- but I like them in this room |
 |
| If you know me, then you know that for me this room is all about the Union Jack rug! |
 |
| More gray, more bare floors, more plastered walls. More perfection |
.
 |
| This kitchen is quite long - not sure what's on the other side -- the view here is lovely |
