I mentioned earlier this week that I’m on a bit of a neutrals kick – but not my usual black and white fare. Instead, I’m being drawn to layers of cream, putty, and mushroom. Which are all just really nicer ways of saying beige…
But, if anyone can make beige un-boring, its certainly the French – non? Which is why I’m perfectly in love with this Parisian apartment where the antique details are meshed with mid-century modern furnishings in the best possible way…
When spaces have this much character, you don’t need to add much in the way of ornate accessories. Instead, the rooms are filled with visual texture and simple lines… just the way I like it.
Here’s how I’d do it in my own apartment…
If your walls aren’t filled with beautiful mouldings and gilded trim, create them yourself! Or, add more architectural pieces to this mid-century mix.
1. gilded mirror // 2. hicks hexagon wallpaper // 3. cream chair // 4. white objets // 5. floor lamp // 6. pink coffee table // 7. throw pillow // 8. hobnail vase // 9. leather chair // 10. side table // 11. flokati rug
