No more colours!

Right now, this is how I want my home to look! Even though you see colours, colours and again colours in all stores and interior decoration magazines I just feel for a classic and elegant look in my apartment. To also mix designer furniture with for example Ikea is a great way to get a contemporary and a balanced look.

White high gloss combined with dark wood feels clean and is perfect for the kitchen!

Colours are fun but in the end I always get back to beige, brown, white and black.

What do you prefer?

Celebrity Home: Jennifer Aniston

Ambiance has a new label: Celebrity Homes. Because I always want to know what it looks like in stars's private homes - it says a lot about the person and could be a perfect way to get new ideas.

First out is Jennifer Aniston and her house in Beverly Hills.

Midnight in Paris

If you haven't yet seen the latest Woody Allen movie Midnight in Paris - do it! The story is funny but most of all I appreciated the style!

Rachel McAdams looked casual chic in every scene.

 

Style à la Belle!

I have a style crush on actress Camilla Belle.

Her outfits and looks are always flawless and she is definetely a new style icon and trendsetter, not too far from one of my favourites Olivia Palermo. Have a look at and get inspired!

Visionboard

Many thoughts, ideas, goals and wishes? Create a visionboard!

Collect all your inspiration sources in pictures, it's easier to find the right way to acheive your goals if they are visual compared to dreams just written in words.

It could look like this!

Hang something on your wall!

I met a friend today who told me being in need of art and wall decoration to her new apartment.. I found these pics that maybe could bring some inspiration!

Colorful abstract art suits almost every interior style.

I wouldn't say no to one of Swedish artist

Carolina Gynning's paintings

- Cool and powerful!

Framed black and white photos is an easy and classic way to decorate your walls.

More abstact art but less colourful

Mirror decoration

And at last my own favourite; Mark Rothko!

A new RUE out!

Yeyyy! A new issue of the online magazine RUE is now out! Plenty of lifestyle inspiration; for both you and your home!

I especially liked the interview with Kendall Wilkinson and the photos from her stylish home.

Wilkinson's dining room with the wooden table and the Philippe Stark's Ghost chairs makes

a perfect match - the different materials creates an eclectic look.

Pimp your furniture

A year ago I bought a sideboard from Ikea on a flea market. I have re-painted it but I'm not really satisfied of the result, it could be more fun with another colour and maybe I'll change the knobs. I think it's a little better now than before though.

In need of inspiration

Last Friday I didn't give you any Four Friday Favourites post. Lately I' ve found it hard to find inspiration to the Friday posts so that's why I'll try to take a break from them and instead get more motivated to update the blog with posts that feels right for the moment.

The first thing I did in order to get inspiration - Online shopping for new books!



Life and Work by Malene Birger

Domino

-  about 270 pages of Interior Decoration!

Other books I'd probably buy another day are



The Sartorialist

and the guide from

Four Friday Favourites

After almost five months in my new apartment it is now starting to look like a place you can actually live in.. and invite friends too. My inspiration has been interiors in black and white, with possibly an accent colour. Here are my four favourites (and they happen to all be Scandinavian designers):
