apartment ideas




























Lovely rust wall paint colour.  One of my favorite bedrooms I have found on the internet, the antique wicker furniture is absolutely beautiful.

Good bohemian solution to small apartment room or den.

Bed canopies and flowers always make for a very romantic, ethereal space.

Beautiful Bedrooms

I love the metallic wallpaper, pastel colours, and french daybed
Slightly more eclectic style, however, it is a great use of a small space, filling the room with pattern and a  cohesive colour scheme.  I particularly like the re-upholstered chair.


The Eloise room is a beautiful combination of antique french furniture and fun, bright patterns.

Great for guest rooms, antique daybeds are a magnificent accessory and come in a plethora of styles.

This room demonstrates a brilliant use of salmon pink that allows the intricate headboard to stand out.

There are many elements in this room that join together to make a lovely space.  Such as the delicate, faded pillows, the colour scheme, and the wicker backed chair.

I love the bright, eclectic nature of this room, which makes the most of such a small space.

Perfect example of simplicity and the combination of elements in a small space.  The chandelier is gorgeous and becomes the centerpiece of the room.  If there had been a pattern or contrasting colour on the bedding then the room would have become instantly smaller. 

I love the some-what messy hand-painted poetry on the wall.
Great idea! tutu over a ceiling light, hopefully not a fire hazard!

Great attention to detail, the pillows pick up the colours and patterns that appear in the painting which make for a very cohesive and relaxing space.

Exposed brick is always beautiful.  There are even places where you can buy brick and build a wall on the inside of your home for aesthetic effect!  I just love the way that the arched pattern in the wall acts as a headboard and the antique stool at the end of the bed mimics the shape.  Symmetry is a good tool of design in bedrooms, if you have the space in your home to create the perfect balance. 

Another antique daybed!
