About 30 years ago we went through a fad of " pasting floor to ceiling mirrors on the walls". Although in many instances it was a very beneficial practice in interior decorating, it soon become over done. Here, I found in one of decorating books a creative approach to the need of" bringing light in" to naturally illuminate darker area of the room. The use of a collection of small mirrors seems to be so much more imaginative than even hanging 2 large mirrors. Beautiful idea!
Here are 3 windows with no view to speak of...............yet, how interesting !
The wall facing the breakfast room is "PAINTED"BY NATURE . How romantic it feels. I took many detailed pictures of it - in case I would like an artist imitate this for me in the future on some wall even the interior one.
And this is FAUX WALL that has been dramatically painted to enhance playful contemporary living room
And how about this "view" ? Imagine the effect at the diner time,when thespace outside is dramaticaly iluminated ! (2 comments)
Vero Beach, Fl decorating clientele has a very sophisticated taste and likes to be up to date with new introductions. Since the flax/gray color scheme is gaining momentum, I was specifically looking for new textures in colors of natural linen getting so popular these days. It may have to do with new, more restrained economy, hence more neutral - versatile palet. Shown above is a group of coordinating fabrics (from the top left): 1. Interesting 3 dimensional silk like fabric in polyester, suitable for decorative pillows 2. Very high quality, very supple Italian leather 3. Pleated ultra suede (0 comments)
