Two-Tone Four Poster Beds

May 25, 2016 by Jane F Leave a Comment

four poster beds - Tops of the bed posts and the head board rail were painted white by designer Stephan Eicker so they would not compete with the Fromental sink wall covering - House & Garden via Atticmag

Designers style up four poster beds with a quirky two-tone treatment. Giving four poster beds a two-tone treatment adds color as well as visual interest to an otherwise predictably conservative bed frame. And the idea is especially useful for updating salvage or thrifted pieces which are often repainted -- but only one color! What I love about each of these two-tone four … [Read more...]

hand-printed French fabrics from Tissus Tartares via Atticmag

Tissus Tartares patterns feature richly colored designs with Eurasian aesthetics. Fabric house owners Olya Thompson and Nathalie Farman-Farma are influenced by Tartar robes, Ballet Russes costumes and Old St Petersburg interiors when creating these beautiful fabrics.

Manned-Up Bedrooms

masculine bedrooms by Sills Huniford with gold-embossed leather screen - via Atticmag

Décor can reflect gender in very direct ways as these masculine bedrooms show. As one of the most intimate rooms in the house, bedrooms say a lot about comfort and who's in charge. In these three masculine bedrooms there's a real guy-thing going -- which I don't see very often. So I’m naturally intrigued by what helps each of  them transmit that vibe. Color, style, window … [Read more...]

Dining Room Bookcase Walls

dining room bookcase - gray dining room with built in bookcases by Lars Bolander - Elle Decor via Atticmag

A dining room bookcase transforms a single-purpose room into a modern multipurpose space. Think about a dining room bookcase. Seriously. Ask yourself how much a dining room table and chairs, buffet and cabinets costs vs how often those pieces are used?  Apart from answering “I just like it,” most of us could put the dining room to better, more practical use. For me, it feels … [Read more...]

Kitchen Cabinets with Skirts

cabinets with skirts - Italian country kitchen with linen skirts on cabinets - WOI via Atticmag

 “What’s old is new again.” Look no further than kitchen cabinets with fabric skirts. Prior to the post-World War II home-building boom in the U.S., middle class kitchens commonly had cabinets with fabric skirts, often homemade, to screen off the open areas below sinks and base cabinet frames. Although skirts went out as a style in the 1950s, fabric lingered in country houses … [Read more...]

picture wall ideas - black and white art that looks like a picture wall at MOMA - Atticmag

Understanding picture wall ideas is key to creating attractive arrangements. I’ve been thinking about two separate spaces in my house, which prompted me to begin collecting these picture wall ideas. For me, picture walls are less about specific images than the way a grouping is arranged on any wall. Their  success depends a lot on the architecture of the wall and on scale – … [Read more...]

In a Spanish country kitchen, charm often begins at the back door The beauty of many European country-home kitchens lies in their make-do qualities. that's certainly evident in this rustic Spanish country kitchen. No fancy cabinets, furniture details or posh cabinets. Appliances such as the gas range are often small enough to fit into old-house spaces. Plus, open spaces which … [Read more...]
