ROOM TO LOVE: A VISUALLY ENTERTAINING FAMILY ROOM!

It is only three weeks into 2010 and it seems this month I am gravitating towards orange. Feel like I’ve done a couple of posts featuring orange things I love.

Well I love this family room, den or t.v. room. What a bright and cheery entertainment space. Bright orange and white brocade curtains add a daring splash of color and combine well with the bright white, brown and powder blue hues in the room. I love the gloss lacquer faux bamboo armchairs, the zebra rug, the blue x-benches, the medium brown upholstered sofa with orange piping and all of the little accents here and there. (Looks like quite a few of the accents come from my fave Jonathan Adler by the way)

Style that is entertaining to look at. Don’t you think?

Did I mention how much I like the blue ribbon border on the orange drapes? Mentioned.

What do you think?

    i LOVE this room. the color palette is incredible: blues, browns, orange. it makes me want to jump right into summer. i would have likely chosen a different coffee table and gotten rid of or picked a more visually appealing ceiling fan, but i’m still mesmorized! agree with you about the blue trim on the drapes. fantastic!

    I have been into orange for quite some time now….especially the deep tangerine colors. It is interesting to see it mixed with these soft colors. The blue is a different twist.

    Giovanna,

    Don’t know if the curtain fabric is Jonathan Adler…but Jessica Claire is absolutely right, looks like a lot of the accents in the room are…(thank you Jessica Claire)!

    If I see this fabric for curtains I’ll let you know!

    What a comfortably stylish room!
    I was so happy to see the curtain panels hung that much higher than the window frame. I ventured to so the same in our new home to instill a higher ceiling height feel … not know if it was protocol from a design perpective.

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
