GEO LOUNGE

This week's Fashion Friday design board is inspired by Marco de Vincenzo Ready-to-Wear Spring 2015 Collection; in particular the geometric prints that I so lovingly adore. 

When we think of geometrics in interiors, we often think of bold bright patterns in different shapes and sizes. Geometry is ubiquitous in our natural environment and will often also be found in architecture, furniture design, and fabrics. It is no longer confined to being displayed as art and is accessible to all.

It is not just a contemporary trend; it is one that has endured throughout history. The Ancient Greek and Moroccans both used bold geometric patterns as part of their architectural and interior design. The idea that a simple shape can create complex patterns is something this is universally appreciated.

Geometric prints are immediate eye catchers, and the most important thing is to have fun with it. These prints are meant to be fun and exciting whether it's for your wardrobe or your interior spaces.

My favorite design element in this design board is the Mirth Studio wood tiles designed by 

Antonino Buzzetta. You can view Mirth Studio's fantastic wood tile collection here.

Have a lovely weekend, Ciao

SOPHISTICATED OASIS

This week I am inspired by the beautiful whites of the Ralph Lauren Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear Collection. I think a woman who can wear white from head to toe is modern, sophisticated and demure. She wears it with confidence and holds nothing back and all the while keeps an unassuming attitude about who she is.

I have always dreamed of an all-white bedroom. An all-white color scheme looks so inviting...clean, effortless and achingly romantic. With such a restrained use of color, it's very important to use a variety of textures in a space like this. A lack of color means every element in your design should somehow stand out whether it be through its texture, form, or function. A peaceful, soothing room like this will give you the impression like you are on the clouds. I wouldn't mind sleeping on clouds, would you?

Have a lovely weekend, Ciao
