INTERIORS TO INSPIRE: GLAMOUR IN SQUARES

Who woulda thought? A regular ol' square imparting so much glamour, by just by using a simple design principal - Repetition.

Hello ladies (and gents), Julie here, bringing you a space that will make you wish you were sipping a mojito in a gilded glass. Welcome delightful, airy glamour with a strong dose of graphic pop - just what the doctor ordered leading into summer.
The powerful rug anchors the space and sets the tone for high style, but won't be outshadowed by the statement-making vintage sky blue chair. You can already see the square pattern being used throughout the home, starting here.
Vintage brass and playful yellow are found scattered throughout the house, making the strong black, white and blue palette feel cheerful and easy to lounge in - reflecting the feeling of the sunny outdoors that this room opens up to! 
This is just one of several bedrooms employing more graphic pop, and I love the Missioni inspired throw and fretwork wall paper. (And proof that a headboard can reside against a window, which is personally, my fave spot.)

Jonathan Adler is the king of this style, so using a few of his pieces to recreate the look and feel of this home is the perfect starting point.


Mixing in some brass and fun vintage pieces quickly adds interest and depth.


Yellow x-benches had me at hello. And the brass silverware has long been on my wishlist!

The great thing about this style is it is absolutely reasonable to have in your own home, which is a bonus, because sometimes we know things are pretty, but just not right for us. This style, however, is easy to replicate and enjoy!

Cheers!

-Julie

  3. Gorgeous! Using bold graphic patterns adds such great modern interest to a space. The fun thing about this style is that you could also create it using low cost, vintage thrift store finds!

  4. I really love that rug in the first few pics. I am a sucker for a geometric pattern. I especially like the idea of the rug being busy to hide any spills or accidents.

  5. Love the introduction of blue into the black-white-yellow color combo. The "sharp" colors are a great compliment to the graphic theme!

    i love this post! i would look at photos of rooms like the ones above and know that they were awesome, but i'd have no idea why, or how to imitate the effect. but you're right- it is all about repetition.

    as a side-note, do you know where to find x-benches like the vintage ones you posted? that style seems so popular right now, but i don't have any luck finding them (preferably affordably).

  16. The most amazing thing about these images is that despite the presence of bold pattern( that too repeated) there is a fine balance and the pattern does not overwhelm..thanks for sharing....have a lovely day..xx meenal

  17. verryyyy pretty! i am a major, major fan of geometric shapes... they are so bold and dramatic!

    PS. the "Missoni Inspired" throw on the bed is in fact a real Missoni throw. I have that exact one :)
