I’m the sort of person who bombards a space with colour within a week of moving in – I can’t cope with plain surfaces and dull rooms. Here are some of my favourites:
1. Amelie’s bedroom, complete with impossibly high ceilings and womb-like colours. (Also, note the doggy in the frame – he’s wearing a cone!)
2. Headboard by Johnny Vintage (via Oh Joy). This is of the ‘go big or go home’ decor school, and I most definitely approve. (I’d be so tempted to paint the wall sea-foam green.)
3. Something I drew when I was ill and bed-bound for days. I used to have a bedroom with bright yellow walls, and I loved it. (From here)
4. OK, so this is not the most colourful room in existence, but imagine waking up here everyday! That light is amazing! Found here.
5. And finally: the bedroom of my dreams*, from Marie Claire Maison.
*assuming the other end of the room has a massive walk-in wardrobe, of course.
1.Look at the shadow lines that have formed between the bulbs. Cool!
2. The perfect kitschy chandelier.
3. Burning bright.
4. My friend took this photo with my camera. It’s the ceiling of our old flat.
5. The underside of a chandelier in a Greek Orthodox church.
1. (note the traditional rag rug in the background.)
2. A happy little boat in Kefalonia.
3. It’s not all blue and white, y’know.
4. Look at the bougainvillea creeping into the corner of the photo.
5. A perfect little balcony.
