9 Super Bright Modern Rooms – Design Inspiration

January 5, 2016
  • Share

Bright Modern Rooms Den Grey Sectional Sofa

Bright modern rooms are in order today in my quest to find the brightest spaces this first week of the New Year. All of these rooms here were created by interior designer Tamara Magel. All from different homes but all decorated with a cool bright happy modern vibe. I like these. They all made me smile.

Just the other day, best of friend AM asked me, “Do you ever get bored of interior design?”  My immediate answer was, “No.”.  Later that day, I wondered why she asked…so this morning I asked her.  She said the reason she asked is that after she finished decorating her adorable house in East Hampton, she got a little fatigued on the decorating front and she wondered whether I ever got a little tired of it.  My answer to her again was “No.  I am not tired of design.  I still love it and seem to have a passion for it.”.

Anyhooo…happening upon all of these rooms by this designer got me excited AGAIN.  For me it is fun to look at spaces and create spaces.  I like seeing and figuring out good proportion, scale, colors, furnishings and design details.  Crazy that after all of this time blogging and designing that I still love design…but I do.

Here are 9 rooms, from different homes, all by Tamara Magel. Not super duper modern but just modern enough for me.  And just the right amount of bright!

    Love these spaces! The first image is my favorite….the white brick and the leather chairs are perfection. When a space has a lot of natural light, you already have a great head start!

    My favorite is the first kitchen and the dressing room.

    Even the most dully decorated room will look pretty nice with a nice splash of sunlight. I just love brightly lit rooms with lots of windows – it’s one of the reasons I sort of want one of those high rise apartments in the big cities, except for the fact that they’re so expensive and I would have to live in a big city!

    Love the light and clean look in all of the rooms. Don’t love the animal skins on the back of the dining chairs. Leather is one thing, skins on the floor is another. These skins just look, to me, like dead bodies draped over the chairs for drying after a hunt—not especially appetizing for a backdrop to a meal, and really superfluous to the design. The tabletop items, rug and art work can likely provide the texture represented by the skins.
    And being a fellow shoe fan, I smiled to see your reference to Tamara Mellon in the last paragraph, in lieu of the featured room designer. Her shoes go with every room!
    Thanks for the great postings, and wishing you the best in your personal and professional life in the coming year.
    The “little cottage in the Hollywood Hills” is a wonderful place for you to enjoy and to be proud of as your home. You have left conveniently placed subtle and not-so-subtle design features in Malibu, providing the gift that keeps on giving long after you have moved on with a new life. You go, Girlfriend!

    The effect that the ottoman and objects all seem to be floating in the full white wardrobe is just delicious!!! Love it!!

Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
