You can be attracted to a space in addition to not like all the components of This kind of. I appreciate which This kind of space is actually dramatic in addition to artfully conceived.  Dark wall colours are not part of my aesthetic nor is actually traditional decor, nevertheless I find myself drawn to This kind of space. Why?


  • mix of  some traditional in addition to modern (furniture in addition to art)
  • accessories in vignette combine colour, texture, form in addition to  different styles
  • the perfect intersection of chair back with art  producing the chair an integral part of the vignette
  • there is actually nothing cookie cutter about This kind of space; This kind of's totally individual /unique

  • This kind of is actually the opposite of what I like usually (light interiors, clean lines in addition to more minimal look)

 Establish a my style in addition to not my style boards on Pinterest
