Red, White and BLACK!

The gift of style does not just end in mixing up your clothing to appeal to the eyes. It is very much observed in your sense of interior decoration. Each one's style is different: some are minimalists and choose to make the most of simple clothing and vintage accessories; some like sexy, sultry pieces of clothing; while others play up casual clothing, among others. The same taste is seen in interior decorating.

Today, I reflect on doing a lot with something that sounds "simple"... Doing interior decorating with only 3 major colors and making it very tasteful. The pictures here are rooms in the home of designer mogul, BCBG Max Azria. In the first picture, the room is stark white (walls, ceiling, carpet) and then a backdrop of black in the fireplace. Black cage-like chandeliers are used in the center of the room, with a touch of red (in the board) right underneath the chandelier. Notice the vintage rusty bronze mirror on one wall complemented by the throw pills on the couch.

In the pictures above and below, the same color theme is kept but the feel of the rooms are different. Notice the black and red rug above, the cage chairs right before the center table and the same soft touch of red as in the previous picture. The chandelier is different, and a white cabinet houses different kinds of glasses. The throw pillow in the picture below is dominated by white but has red and black polka dots. The vintage mirrors give the walls a special feel.

Get creative with your abode today. Depending on your budget, it may be easier to collect special pieces (of furniture) over time rather than trying to budget and fix your place up in one day. A friend recently gave me that piece of advice.

Let your apartment or house reflect your personal style. Ciao!
