Green Grey Bedroom

After having such a long time to publish anything on my blog (almost 9 months), I need to say a hello and wish you to have a happy new year! 

For me, 2016 was one of the hardest years ever, with so many difficulties to face and  a few moments of endless happiness. Thanks God, those unique moments helped me to stand back on my feet and try  to  get a new start on my life... 

New year found us in a new home, far away from the previous one, trying to organise our everyday life, to rearrange our stuff and of course to decorate our new lovely place.

I have almost finished with the decoration of the living room and now I am thinking what to do with our bedroom which is a spacious and bright room where I can play with colours and materials. 

The colours I choose to use for our bedroom is the combination of the green grey and the off white, as is one of my beloved ones and coincidentally, green is the Pantone colour of the 2017. 

The green grey hues are ideal for a bedroom as they provide a serene environment which is ideal for relaxation and a feeling of rejuvenation.

Hillside Apartment

Located in London, this wonderful apartment was designed by Turner Pocock. Inspired by the large garden in front of the property and the natural light which invades from the enormous windows, the design based on a natural scheme with layers of green throughout, using a mix of new and old, luxurious and industrial furniture and fixings, creating a fresh eclectic interior... 

Apartment in Stockholm

A typical Scandinavian apartment in Stockholm, designed by Scandinavian Homes, with an open air totally white kitchen, light furnishings, walls painted in white and grey hues and a transparent glass divider between bedroom and living room...

A tiny apartment in Stockholm

This small yet stylish flat is located in the heart of Stockholm... It is just 34m2 but it looks so spacious because of its great optimum use of space! The white color used on the walls, on the kitchen cabinetry & the doors, combined with the off-white & light grey hues of the furniture & the linens, help the natural light which invades from the three large windows of its facade give us the impression of a larger flat. Then, its glass divider gives the bedroom an airy & spacious appeal while it offers to the flat a contemporary look.

Folder: Bathroom

I really fell in love with this atmospheric bathroom in grey & silver hues... I was impressed by its stunning lighting and the wonderful textured background which creates a unique contrast with the glossy surface of the wall to wall mirror.

Stylish family home in Hamburg

A couple live with its son in this two-level home in Hamburg, Germany. As they are fans of the '60s design, they decorated their home combining contemporary pieces with vintage finds. They also achieved to salvage the oak floors to the whole house, which are originals from 1967. On the other hand, they choose a totally contemporary kitchen in black matte color which creates an interesting contrast with the vintage floor and the walls' absolute white. The pieces I love most in this house are the black Eames chairs of the dinning and the white one in the home office as well as the Tom Dixon's pendant lights... I really would like a set of them in my dinning room!!! And finally what about this unique in design cradle in the nursery?

Folder: Living Room

An industrial space can easily be transformed into a modern residence... White washed brick walls, enormous windows and cement floor consist the perfect background of a comfortable living room decorated in black and grey hues so as to fit perfectly with the industrial style of the space. What I loved most in this room is the stone coffee table and the amazing pebbles carpet!!!

Folder: Living Room

I am really in love with this living room designed by the interior stylist Emma Thomas. By using simple in design furniture in the tones of gray and white and adding some hues of tile color in the curtains and some pillows, she achieves to create an amazing interior.

Elegant Living Room

A simple in design yet elegant living room which inspires you to spend a lot of hours sitting in its comfortable sofa watching a movie or drinking a coffee with your friends. It is also the right place to read your book sitting in one of the two Barcelona white chairs in front of the enormous window which allows the daylight to illuminate the room. During the night the atmosphere becomes more dramatic as the wooden roof's spotlight lighten the dark grey painted walls. Another beautiful piece is the tree stump coffee table which gives a rustic touch to the otherwise contemporary design of the space.

Nordic Coziness

I like when interiors can catch the eye with just a simple but yet inspired design. The white bold fireplace's wall with its grey cement projections becomes milder with the use of an extreme fluffy carpet in the floor, warm furry pillows and a tree stump coffee table. I imagine myself sitting on the carpet, drinking a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying the warmth of the fire and knitting!

Exquisite Surfaces

A residence designed in an absolutely modern Architecture, where concrete and glass are the main materials, can easily turn into a very cozy and warm home. By using furniture in earthy colors and adding touches of a warm color as the orange in accessories, you will create a nest of relaxation! I like the bookshelves near the concrete fireplace, the bold marble furniture (coffee table,side table and console), the Barcelona chairs and ottoman and this marvelous handmade carpet.

Modern Apartment in Brazil

 

Modern, bright and airy could be the right words to describe this apartment located in Brazil. Its design is based in fresh ideas, using clear lines in construction and furniture so as to have a modern result. The main colors used here-white, grey and beige-in combination with the high ceiling in the living room give the impression that the apartment is bigger enough from its original scheme. The enormous floor to ceiling window let the natural light invade the space and highlight the carefully chosen elements placed on that huge and tall storage wall which is also a light divider between living room and working area! The "monotony" of neutral white, grey and beige breaks with the use of some decorative objects and furniture in black or extremely vivid colors as fuchsia or orange. A brilliant idea is the use of a colorful combination of tiles in various models and colors that creates an interactive and funny space in the minimalist kitchen.

Kitchen: Combining Rustic with Modern

I love so much kitchens whose design is far away from the common. I strongly believe that our home ought to have its own unique decorative style which will reflect the owners personality, needs and will fit with the house's architecture as well.  

In this kitchen I found so interesting the combination of rustic and modern style. A bold stone wall, wooden roof, extremely bid old wooden beams, a stone sink and a fireplace - internal BBQ are combining perfect with the grey cement construction which includes the built-in cupboards painted in black, the inox modern appliances and the mirror like, global pendant lamp.    

If you like rustic kitchens you can find some here.

Design: Concrete Coffee Table

 

In a total black, white and grey decorating  has been created the most cozy and inviting living room. A comfortable sofa is waiting for you to rest on it, dunking in its fluffy square, rectangular and round pillows and then a concrete coffee table, with fine design, to put your cup of hot coffee on it!!! I like it so much....  Mostly the recess for tealights.

White Country Style House

Ohh... how wonderful house is this! A really beautiful grade II listed 17th century, situated directly on the wharf in Mousehole, Cornwall. 

I adore its spacious vaulted ceiling, wood floors and paneled interior, painted all of them in white and soft grey hues, which make the house so cozy and hospitable. My favorite space is the kitchen with the range cooker and my beloved smeg refrigerator. Then, in the lofty beamed living room the fluffy sofas and floor pillows dressed with linen are waiting for you to sit on them in order to relax, in that so friendly environment, decorated with unique pieces. I already imagine myself sitting in the sofa near the log burner, reading my favorite book or drinking a cup of tea with my friends during the winter, or sitting in the window recess, gazing the view in the hot summer months!!!

Find an apartment painted also in white and grey hues here.

Made in Sweden

This is an apartment in Sweden decorated by interior stylist Lotta Agaton for the housing exhibition Annedal 2012. It is a space foul of light which exhales serenity as looks like it is a part of a black and white film, as the only colors used there are white and different hues of grey. The color severity breaks with the use of wood in its natural color, in the floor and in some decorative details and the presence of an olive tree in almost every space of the apartment which gives a Mediterranean air.

I like so much the triple black round coffee table up to the hand made rug (1st and 2nd images), the stripped and zig zag cushions in the bed (3rd image) and the simplicity of the dexion's white library.
