Aside from fashion, photography, food, I also really really like home decor. I love looking at home style magazines and blogs, and also like to look at available housing for rent/sale just for fun. I pretend that the latter is gonna help me look for a place when I move out in a few years. I'll know what I want, what to avoid, etc. Having moved so many times though, I kinda learned a lot already.
That said, when I moved back to my mom's last year, I painted the then-yellow room into white, thinking I could make it into something really minimalistic, with only blacks, whites and neutrals. As the months passed however, I started regretting my choice of wall colour. My room looked bland, I wanted to paint my walls a mushroom colour, or maybe a medium grey. I just really wanted to change everything.
I spent the last two months on a high home style kick, and kept saving pictures and pictures for inspiration for my future home. I never realized though that I could use the very same pictures for inspiration for my current room, and yesterday it finally clicked!
I really like the sort of style you see in the picture above: white walls, white furniture, and splashes of colour integrated through pillows, frames, accessories. So I thought I would just do that. I basically have the canvas ready; I have white walls and white furniture. I just need to change my comforter (which I like but it's ripped) and add some pillows, frames, and desk accessories. That's it! So simple, but so right.
I never thought of doing this before because I was basically scared of colour. But I think I've overcome my fear! Only for home decor though, not on myself haha.
I wished I could do this to my closet haha!
Gosh I love damask wallpaper.
Not really white-dominant, but I thought the combination of colours was too pretty.
This apartment is amazing! I wished it was mine.
I also really love the look of antique and quaint mirrors, frames and accessories... I have a framed mirror that's really cute and I want to keep it, so I'll incorporate it into the whole look. I just wished it was longer!
Biggest picspam I've ever done haha. Urgh, I feel horrible for not keeping track of where the pictures come from, but there are so many! Most of them come from Desire to Inspire, Home Sweet Home, Dwellings and Décor, We Heart It and Freshome!
