Villa in the Caribbean

A serene holiday retreat with a spectacular view to the ocean, where the indoor becomes one with the outdoor, so you have the sense that you are always by the sea... 

The house is decorated in a modern, organic style with a neutral color palette to invoke a sense of serenity. Whitewashed background (walls, roof, sofa, bed, etc) with details of wood and rattan compose a scenery where the family and their guests can reconnect with nature and escape the modern, fast pace of life, offering a harmonious lifestyle.  

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... 

White Bedroom Inspiration

Influenced by Japan

This house cought my eye by the first sight because of its peaceful simplicity.... I loved its open spaces with the white walls, the light wooden floors and the enormous openings which allow the sun rays invade inside and fill the space with warm, pure light! The furnishing and decoration are influenced by the Japanese architecture  and interior design aesthetic, resulting in a serene interior. 

Fall decoration with white pumpkins

Happy November to all...! The cold here is chilly enough and those days I am in the process of making closets and general housekeeping of my home in order to spread the carpets... All this project has a great delay due to my endless working hours. My plans for  this year fall decoration was to use my beloved white pumpkins in order to create cozy fall nooks everywhere in my home... Here, you can find a few cute ways to give an alternative fall accent in your homes!

The evolution of a feta cheese tin in the years

Once upon a time, in a small country which its name is Greece, it was a humble blue and white little tin (tenekes) which was made to contain feta cheese or oil olive. Poor people, after have consumed its content, they were always finding a way to use this tin in their every day life as a useful object. The majority of them, loved to paint feta cheese tins in vivid colours and use them as flower pots on their white washed yards... Those repurposed pots was usually accommodate geranium, fragrant basils, marigolds and gardenias. 

As the years passed, in this little country design and interior architecture were started to grown and this humble tin acquired personality and started to seek a leading position in everyday life. Many interior designers are infused by feta cheese tins and they use them in the decoration of commercial spaces, restaurants, cafe and bars, creating imaginative furnishings, decorative objects or lighting.  The biggest surprise however was when STUDIOLAV designed Atlas Shopper, a tin and leather tote bag, a really inspired object which could perfectly stand as a decorative object in our spaces.... 

TR2 the rooms

When Georgios C. Carabellas (an entrepreneur based  in London who is the founder and creative director of TR2 the lifestyle brand) in 2007, stumbled across four derelict shacks in the traditional part of the main village of Skyros, he felt in love by the first sight with their atmospheric views and  their aura. 

I 'm pretty sure that you will fall in love with this guesthouse too... It combines perfectly the Skyrian traditional architecture with contemporary eclectic design and touches of moroccan style. The renovated buildings share a common patio which is tiled with reclaimed old handmade tiles... It is the guesthouse's candy eye which looks like a traditional embroidery! There, you can enjoy your breakfast or a Greek coffee, sitting in a set of traditional Greek round metallic table and rattan chairs. And latter, if the noon doesn't find you in one of the wonderful beaches of the island, you can take a nap in the hammock under the fig trees go the guesthouse.

Stylizimo House

Today I am so excited as I have to present you an amazing house!!! The new house of Nina Holst, the girl behind the Stylizimo blog. It's about a dreamy house with open spaces and extra wide windows which offer a breathtaking view of its surroundings. The choice of painting almost all of its surfaces in white helps the space to become brighter, while the maintaing of the preexisting wooden ceiling,the wooden floor and the addition of the dining table chairs in the natural color of wood brings  the necessary warmth into the space... I love so much the contrast of black and white surfaces and the green touch of plants and flowers situated everywhere in the house, giving their vivid color and offering their positive energy to the house! 

Chic & Glamorous Christmas

If you are the kind of person who loves everything that sparkles, now it's the right time of the year for you!!! Decorate everything around you in golden hues with a good amount of glitter, but be careful not to do excesses! The best background for the golden ornaments & decorative objects is the absolute white... I strongly believe that this is the ultimate combination for the most glamorous yet chic Christmas decorations... 

p.s.: If you like the golden wood diamond ornament of the photo No 4, you can easily make it, following this tutorial.

Today, we are going to visit an amazing place to spend your holidays, in the island of Folegandros!

Blue Sand Hotel is a white pearl jewel situated on a rocky surrounding golden sand beach called Agali. Its privileged position offers a mesmerizing panoramic view of the beach and is literally one step away from the crystal blue waters.

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.
