Our living room

feat

We’ve been renovating our house for the last three months. It was supposed to be painting and changing a few things at the beginning but when we started it has become a full remodelling of the interiors.

After 10 years of living I knew exactly what I wanted changed. From 30 to 40 you change as a human, you care more about the comfort and things around you being user friendly. I found a few things that could make living in my house easier.

First I knew our brown walls and furniture had to go. I wanted the interior bright and light. Cozy and comfy. Like the super cozy beach house you never want to live light bright and cozy 😉  salon-1

The walls- I wanted almost all house painted white. Up until now we had vanilla and chocolate painted walls. I wanted something white but not cold. I searched a lot and found my perfect colour in Benjamin Moore palette. I chose colour of the year 2016- Simply White in Matte. I absolutely love my choice. The walls look white but it’s a beautiful warm white , nothing cold or hospital look alike. The finish is chalky and looks very chic.

Our previous couch was super comfy so it wasn’t easy to choose another one. I wanted one that would let three of us rest comfortably and watch tv – we chose Natuzzi Brio as it has two parts as with a soft touch mechanism which allows you, simply sliding your finger along the sensor on the armrest, to change the seat and backrest position for optimum comfort. I love this thing so much!

I knew I wanted my pictures printed on huge canvas. I’ve done for clients in the past and I was always amazed how they could change a house or an apartment. I remember people coming for sessions just because they saw those huge canvas at their friends. Ours in the living room are 90cmx90cm.

I ordered them with the same company I always use for my clients- they rule!

The lamp.

I was never into designer lamps. Until I saw this beauty from AYIlluminate. I have two of their lamps. They were the thing that added the “beach” house feeling I had in mind. Love it! The table iOS Tablo from Norman Copenhagen, I am still waiting for his little bro the join. I am also searching for the perfect morrocan style rug.

This is the thing that started it all- I hated how there are always remote controls and cables and chargers around the sofa, so I had this idea of a shelf that has hidden charging stations and is a place where you can store all the remotes and books and STUFF. It works so well, the living room is clutter free. Plus I added some cotton balls which adda nice ambients light behind the sofa.
