colourful accents on black and white

Here I am with another amazing home tour belonging to an architect and artist Anne Boysen Lorenzen. She has turned this house into a creative experimental station with design and art in bright colours on black and white background. I like the mid century modern flair and artistic approach to interior design.

So many interesting things around this home, there’s a lot going on wherever you look creating the livable and representative family space. White background seems to be perfect for knick-knacks. via Ikea fmaily live

{perfect home No. 34} Nordic maxi coloured

This lovely house features a different kind (my kind) of Nordic décor. It has a white background but it was only used to make the rest of the elements stand out. The huge blank canvas was filled with lots of colourful and vibrant details. Many different colors were combined but they were beautifully balanced. It’s interesting how each room or space has its own palette of colors. The kitchen is mostly white with black and ocher. Then the space continues into the living room where an entire wall was painted ochre. It was combined with turquoise and blue accents and a brown sofa and the contrast is quite beautiful. Adding purple to the palette starts in entryway and continues to the upstairs, where you climb on bright red stairs. Upstairs the palette is calmer, perfect for rest area. Exterior of the house is unspeakably lovely

colourful rented apartment for family

Family living and bright colours are the main focus in this rental apartment. The strong colour palette kicks you right as you enter the apartment. Green, yellow, pink and blue may seem like an overwhelming colour choice for many, but the owner have combined the colors, so it all still works quite stylish. Whole space feels energized, youthful and happy. I dig the entrance, dining corner in the kitchen and small bedroom in red. If you want your space to be modern and affordable, this is the style you should be going for.

artistic home

Some photos of this home you’ve surely seen on the web, and you’re probably amazed by the beauty of the every inch of it. Some people have a talent to turn everything ordinary into extraordinary, beautiful, artistic and breathtaking. The mix of clean lines and cluttered corners is in perfect balance. Everyday objects are perceived like art itself, and the result is home easy to live in and interesting to look at.

whimsical with big style

What a beauty! I’m speechless, amazed by the perfect balance of color, light, shapes and textures. I wish to see the rest of this three bedroom apartment, wow

another scandinavian tour? …

I don’t mind, as long as there are some iconic or classic pieces like Eames rocking chair, or caramel leather sofa. If you add to it a charming nursery corner or dining area, some geometric patterns and whimsical prints – I want to move right in.

subtle hue in 31m2 studio ** suptilne nijanse u garsonjeri od 31m2

Purified interior with simple forms and only essential furniture. In small open spaces like this, kitchen should blend in the rest of the room. Backsplash is an accent wall at the same time, providing depth in the all white room. Every big surface is white creating ethereal yet cozy place for living

34sq meters studio ** garsonjera od 34 kvadrata

I have photos of this 34m2 studio in my inspiration folder for ages. Natural, cozy, feminine and sophisticated is all what a single girl needs in home. Good thing is it has the closet room, so there’s no need for additional armoire to block priceless square meters. One room is for everything, the owner didn’t want to sacrifice the bed, so she installed the curtain to hide the bed if desired.

Balkan breeze Charming Belgrade apartment ** šarmantan beogradski stan

***(the post is too long for english and serbian version, so please use google translator to fully enjoy the interview and home tour) ***

Dosta je prošlo od poslednje Balkan breeze reportaže, ali je vrijedilo čekati. Ovaj put predstavljam stan inspirisan Amsterdamom i skandinavskim stilom koji je i na našim prostorima jednako popularan, upravo zbog života u malim stanovima.
Dragana, vlasnica stana, je od onih osoba s kojima bih odmah sutra voljela piti kafu i razglabati o mnogočemu. Iako smo se čule samo preko mejlova, djeluje mi tako srdačno i prijatno. A njen lični blog inspiracije treba obavezno "prelistati". Evo šta je ona rekla o svom šarmantnom stanu:

Ime:   Dragana Lazović
lokacija i veličina stana:   Beograd, Voždovac, 51 m2

koji je tvoj stil i čime si se vodila pri uređenju i organizovanju ovog stana: Ja već imam dosta iskustva u uređenju prostora, iako mi to nije profesija. Moja porodična kuća je mnogo prostranija, opremljena nameštajem od drveta u prirodnoj boji. Sad sam se suočila sa daleko manjim prostorom, a imala sam želju i da probam nešto sasvim drugačije. Inače volim nameštaj ravnih, čistih linija. Pošto sam nekako u to vreme posetila Amsterdam, tamo sam videla te bele cigle, i uopšte skandinavski stil koji mi je delovao prikladan za mali stan. Posto je to stan za dva momka, moje sinove, malo sam se uplašila da ne bude preženstven, pa sam njihovu sobu uradila nesto drugačije. Žute i plave boje.

 omiljeni dio: 
Sve mi je omiljeno na svoj način. Volim hodnik sa belim ciglama i belim podom, i crno belim tapetama. Manja sobica, koju moj muž i ja koristimo kad odemo u Beograd, posebno mi je draga zbog tih ogledala koja sam napravila od goblena kupovanih preko aukcijskog sajta i farbala u belo. Dnevnu sobu obožavam. U prostor od 18,5m2 smestila sam trpezarijski deo, malu kuhinju i dnevni deo sa TV-om i policama. I ni najmanje ne deluje natrpano. Dok sedite okrenuti ka televizoru, oči se odmaraju na zidu sa tirkiznim tapetama.

najveći izazov s kojim si se susrela:
Ceo stan je bio izazov. Bio je potpuno ruiniran. Po strukturi dvosoban, a ja sam htela dve odvojene spavaće sobe, pa sam kuhinju prebacila u dnevni boravak. Sarađivala sam sa dobrim majstorima, znala sam šta hoću, a imala sam i izvesno iskustvo. Sve je bilo izvodljivo.

šta kažu ukućani i prijatelji:
Svima se dopalo, naravno. Ko god je ušao bio je iznenadjen prostorom. Odaje utisak da je dosta veći. Zbog toga što je svetao, i što je hodnik neuobičajeno širok. I zbog  kombincije belih zidova sa ciglama i tapetama. Nameštaj je lagan, od bele iverice u visokom sjaju, sto za ručavanje je staklen i ne opterecuje prostor a i stolice su lagane. Kuhinja je rađena po meri od belog medijapana. Kupatilo deluje dosta luksuzno, iako nije mnogo koštalo. Takav efekat je postignut mozaik pločicama.

savjet za mali prostor ili za proces uređenja:  
Bitno je da znate sta želite, da sve nacrtate u pravilnim razmerama, da posle ne bi bilo iznenađenja, da ne bude pretrpano. Ja sam nameštaj sama crtala, a jedna radionica mi je sve pravila. Nameštaj po meri je možda najpametniji za male prostore. Meni je olakšavajuća okolnost bila i to što u stanu postoji ostava, koja je iskorišćena kao garderober, tako da je ostatak stana oslobođen ormana.
Lepo je ako ste vešti sa šivenjem, jer sam ja sama šila jastučiće i zavese. Internet je pun ideja, ima gomila sajtova na kojima možete naći nešto što vama odgovara.

šta bi uradila drugačije:
hmmmm, mislim da ne bih nista, hahahahaahaa. Već godinu smo u tom stanu i svaki put kad uđem u njega osetim zadovoljstvo. Fali mi aspirator u kuhinji, tu sam omanula. Ali i to može lako da se doda i reši. U sledećem stanu bih možda umesto zidnih pločica u stanu stavila stakla u boji, mada su ove moje prelepe. Ne znam, imam jos hiljadu ideja. Ali nemam više stanova :D

Eto, nadam se da ste uživali u intervjuu i fotografijama za koje je zaslužan Duško Damjanović. Ako imate dodatnih pitanja, slobodno pitajte u komentarima

{perfect home no.31} a home made for relaxing ** dom za uživanje

When you see a home like this, calming, soothing, perfectly balanced - don't you wish to move in right away? If I understud well, the owner is a feng shui consultant, so it's no wondershe has a home so beautifuly furnished and decorated. For more photos visit link at the bottom of the post.

{stylish small} experimenting with design ideas ** experimentisanje sa idejama

 This 50m2 apartment belongs to talented Mette Helena where she lives with her daughter. Personally, I don't think it's challenging for two to  live in apartment that big (as we're family of four living in much smaller space), but I too know how many stuff an artist can have - too many according to my husband. So, I agree - it is a challenge to provide enough storage for all your belongings without a proper home office, as well creating everything to look good and inviting.
