recreate the look

It’s so interesting to see other bloggers and designers recreating a look inspired by a photo of a beautiful room. I thought to try it, too. It was a nice exercise to find similar products, and since this is my first “recreate the look” post it took a few days to make it and I didn’t care to find strictly all available and affordable products…which I hope will be my future practice. Scroll to see and tell me what you think!

design board ** dizajn predlog

The designboard I made here is for my younger sister. She has a room in our family house. The room is already furnished, but not functional as it should be. There are two sofa beds, big armoire and one pretty big rectangular coffee table. Boring + it's taking too much of valuable floor space. She wants something more functional, according to her living style...place for relaxing, enjoying some quiet time, reading books, for yoga practising. She's inspired by Asian culture, especially Japanese, but also loves romantic French and Scandinavian functionality. I tried to combine the three, so my inspiration is this chevron pattern in black, taupe and blue palette, with lots of white, natural elements and contrasting rectangular and oval shapes. here's the design board:

{e-design} go bold or neutral? ** jarke ili neutralne boje?

Milica, reader of PassionDecor wrote me to help her decorating living, dining and kitchen - all in one space. She was ready to insert some colour, and couldn't decide whether to bring colour with details or go bold with painting walls. Her original space was totally neutral and she wasn't happy with it. Her favourite colours are purple and green, so above you can see my design concept. After the jump you'll see mockup of the space and designboards I made.
Čitateljka PassionDecor bloga, Milica, obratila mi se za pomoć pri dekorisanju otvorenog prosotra koji čine dnevna soba, trpezarija i kuhinja. Bila je spremna da unese boje u neutralnu dnevnu zonu, ali nije mogla odlučiti da li je bolje da neutralnost razbije detaljima u boji, ili da stvarno napravi veliki iskorak i okreči zidove jarkim bojama. Dopada joj se kombinacija ljubičaste i zelene, i na slici iznad možete vidjeti dizajn koncept koji sam imala na umu. U nastavku možete pogledati virtuelno preuređenje u dvije varijante i dizajn table za kupovinu.

{e-design} family friendly small apartment ** mali stan prilagođen mladoj porodici

I was hired to help organize a 48m2 small apartment. Kitchen, dining area and living room are in one space, with one short interior wall between the kitchen and dining area. Tiny area should cover several diferent functions. Small working spot with a computer had to be included in the living room, and finding the way to organize large amount of books, magazines and plenty of family memories. The space had to be safe and functional for a little girl with enough toy storage. Client wanted natural pastel colours and romantic shabby cottage style. ** Pozvana sam da pomognem u boljoj organizaciji malog stana od 48m2 u potkrovlju. Kuhinja, trpezarijski dio i dnevna soba čine jednu cjelinu, a granicu kuhinje i ostatka dnevnog prostora čini pregradni zid visine 1m. U taj isti prostor trebalo je smjestiti i radni kutak, odnosno mjesto za kompjuter i najbolje moguće iskoristiti raspoloživi prostor za knjige, magazine, mnogo porodičnih fotografija i dragocjenih detalja. Izazov je bio i kako stvoriti ujedinjen prostor pogodan i siguran za malo dijete, kao i mjesto za sve djetetove igračke a da ne preovladaju. Jedan tako mali prostor je morao u sebi objediniti mnogo funkcija.
Klijenti su željeli prirodne, nježne boje, i seoski shabby način uređenja sa romantičnom notom.

{reader's redesign} Scandinavian feel / {pomoć čitaocima} skandinavski stil

{reader's redesign} Aida's natural style / {pomoc citaocima} Aidin prirodni stil

 Several months ago Aida asked me to help her choose furnishings and colors for her home in renovation as well as how to make better use of available space. She wanted airy, cozy and welcoming space with lots of wooden details. The ceiling is very low (2.2m) so intense or dark colors were not an option. Light and natural colors with proper lightning could make the space feel higher and more comfy.

designboard... Zara home II

Since I've discovered Zara Home collection..I am SO happy...and I made a few designboards with some of my favorite products... Couple of days ago you could see these two and now I present you my modest board of bathroom products with Benjamin Moore paint sample

sweet...

projects... my balcony

Before I post new Zara-fave-items-boards,I want to show you idea for my balcony. It was originaly a balcony,but the previous owner added windows,so it's sort of closed balcony. We've been using it as original purpose,but from the begining I wasn't happy with it. I would love my living room expands to the balcony. Few months ago, I made it as a playroom for Bumble, and there's also a hobby desk made by my husband.He's not using it very often,so I took it over :)

Zara HOME...

I knew it exists,but I resist to visit the site...
I'm kidding :)
I LOVE Zara, everything about ZARA...and now I want a lot of things from their HOME collection. I've prepared for you couple of pinboards of my favorites... Keep in mind this is just a small piece,because I love everything..
Tomorrow I'll make my board for bathroom and tableware *sigh* and after that...the living room,YAY

PD projects... new apartment

My relatives asked me to make design for their new apartment. They are building a three level house,but using only the level in the middle for themselves. The 130sq metres apartment is still in working progress, and my first asignment was to help them choose how many light and electricity fixtures they need and where to put them. Beside that, their main problem is to make the best of their 40sqm open space reserved for kitchen/dining/living area. I will show you my work as it evolves...

Nata's living room..

My friend recently married, asked me to help her find the best solution for their new apartment. She doesn't know how to put together things she loves, although she knows exactly what she wants. Her husband trusts her,but he has a problem to visualize her ideas. That's where I come in.
They want light wood furniture, like bleeched oak, stream lines, simple contemporary design. Light and natural color palette,with pops of warm green and brown.
Here's my idea

Moj hodnik

Spavaća soba - panel

plan za uređenje moje spavaće sobe. kvadratići predstavljaju osnovnu paletu boja,dok krugovi označavaju tačne nijanse zidova. planiram toplu,zagasitu atmosferu,koja poziva na počinak,a s druge strane dovoljno razigranu da privlači pažnju.

sada svima želim laku noć,jer evo već je jedan posle ponoći :)

do skorog čitanja..
