I love this Christmas house. It's soo lovely - cozy and simple. Not overdecorated, but yet you really can feel the Christmas vibe.
Still breathing
Lately my computer has broken down, so I wasn't able to post any new things. But now, I hope that everything will be just fine, and so I want to share with you with this fabulous apartment.
I love the brightness of the space - the domination of white and grey color with sophisticated black and silver accents. It's simple, not overstuffed and cozy - just perfect for cold, winter days.
Favorite Designers: Kelly Hoppen
One of the highest-profile designers in the United Kingdom and foremost one of my most favorite is Kelly Hoppen. She has worked in interior design since the age of 17, and been awarded an MBE (member of the Order of the British Empire) for services to interior design. She also has published books, such as : East Meets West, Table Chic, In Touch, Close Up, Kelly Hoppen Style and Kelly Hoppen Home.
Style:
Kelly Hoppen's interiors are renowned for appealing to all of the senses. Crisp, clean and timelessly elegant - designed for a sophisticated and design-savvy clients. Based on Asian ideals, they perfectly represents her design philosophy: a blend of Eastern balance, modified for our demanding Western lifestyle.
She believes one's home is central to one's well being. She prefers contrasting textures to a diversity of colors provoking a depth of feeling and a sensual experience. Cashmere, leather, cotton, wood and wool in the same color scheme are juxtaposed to gracefully unify room into an elegant yet soothing cocoon. The neutral colors and contrasting textures create a sense of calm and peacefulness.
Kelly is all about luxury - but not over the top, rather simple understated luxury for every day living. Her designs are not only sophisticated and elegant but foremost live-able and practical. "The glamour and glitz are fine, but at the end of the day, a comfortable place to come home to is what it's all about for me."
Kelly Hoppen’s name has become synonymous with her trademark neutral, quietly sophisticated, but always modern, interiors. With her an amazing eye for symmetry and balance and chic use of colors and textures, her rooms are minimalistic but not austere, evoking the charm and feel of decadency.
"I work amazingly hard," says Hoppen, "but I feel as though I have a blessed life." Many would agree. Her portfolio includes many fabulous designs and successful lines of home furnishings from candles to carpets, fabric to furniture and her next book is in the works.
The Manor House Duchess
This weekend I was at the lovely manor house. It has existed since 1808 and was made into the guest-house and restaurant. The excellent cuisine, unusual wines and the homely atmosphere make this place really special. But the thing that i love foremost are its rooms. They're named after different types of wine, therefore each has a different design. For example Cabernet Sauvignon has dark, solid furniture with red accessories, while Sauvignon Blanc is decorated with lighter colors and bleached furniture and floor. I simply looove the idea.
So, while still being under the charm of my weekend manor house, I found this great Vogue Italia photoshoot, where fabulous supermodel Linda Evangelista has turned into the duchess. Styled by Andrew Richardson and photographed by Steven Meisel - it looks like cut right out of the nineties.
Hong Kong apartments
Located at the heart of Hong Kong's district of Central, the fabulous apartments express the sophistication that distinguishes this international city. Designed specifically with business travelers and executives in mind, these apartments successfully combine the luxury of a five-star hotel with the warm ambience of home. I especially love the bathroom, surrounded with glass panels -simply stunning.
Favorite Combos - Pink & Gray
Swedish Apartment
Another lovely Swedish apartment. I looove the big window in the attic, where you can lay down with a good book and a nice cup of tea and read a book or simply watch amazing views. I also like the layout of the apartment, especially the fact that it has two floors. And the light, neutrals with soft color touches in accessories - adore it.
