Funky Pendant Lights from Neutral, Eclectic Kitchen

Funky Pendant Lights from Neutral, Eclectic Kitchen Initially, there were two large chandeliers hanging over the kitchen's island so to update the space to fit the homeowners' design style, designers replaced them with three funky pendant lights that stretch out of the kitchen island to the dining table.



Neutral Kitchen with Secondary Dining Area To give the homeowners a secondary dining room, designers added a little kitchen table to the end of the island. Designers used the chairs the homeowners had already and blended them with funky lighting and a classic buffet that was refinished in a royal blue to add a pop of color to the room.



Pink Swivel Chairs in Small Family Room A small family area is nestled at the end of the kitchen. To bring this distance to lifetime, designers introduced in a set of bright pink, oversize swivel chairs to make the small space comfy and welcoming.



Abstract Art and Seating Vignette in Hallway The walls at the end of the hallway that leads to the guest bedroom were a wonderful spot to add art and a seating vignette. The abstract, graffiti design art comes out of a local artist designers located at the Santa Monica art fair.



Eclectic Formal Living Room with Art Gallery Feel To make the formal living space, designers chose key parts of unique furniture to specify the space. Then, they completed the layout with an eclectic mixture of art, objects and photography to provide the living room a gallery-like feel. To provide the space a more completed look without obstructing the pure light, sheer drapers using a subtle pattern has been added to the windows.

Built-In Walnut Shelves Add Contrast into Eclectic Living Room The home already had built in walnut shelving, therefore designers left them exactly as they were for a bit of contrast in the eclectic, gallery style living space.



Doorway Draws Playful Contrast to Elegant Dining Room The dining area was awkward and small, so designers coated the walls with a fun, golden malachite wallpaper and addd a linear chandelier to divert from the strange lines on the room and draw the eye to the center of this space. To bring into a bigger feeling of wealth, designers brought in bold purples to accent the golden wallpaper. At the entrance to the space, a surfboard and photography include a lively contrast to the formal, elegant dining room.



Uncluttered Entry, easy The home's entry flows into the formal living area, so designers moved with a very simple design to give the room an open, airy and uncluttered feel. A simple, contemporary bench with muted colored cushions, soft colored art and a grey rug define the area and usher guests into the house's living room.



Neutral Entryway with Soft Colored Art To make an ideal, eclectic entryway to this home, designers began with the cool art and matched the bench, carpeting and cushions into its soft colors, producing the great warm welcome to anyone who enters the home.



Hot Pink Mirror Adds Pop of Color to Entryway To add a pop of color to the easy design of the entryway, designers repurposed a stainless steel framed mirror that the homeowner had and sprayed the rim hot pink.



Functional Office Space with Plenty of Storage The house office area needed to have plenty of function and storage, so designers included a lacquer and stained oak custom built-in unit using spacious shelving, cabinets and drawers, in addition to a usable workspace for the desktop. After the computer isn't in use, the free-standing desk provides a different work area. To heat up the room and create a contrast in the monochromatic colours, designers brought in a brown, swivel, office chair to get a comfortable place to sit down.



Brown, Vintage Chair with Aged Leather Warms Monochromatic Office The classic chair with aged, brown leather warms the monochromatic work space.



Funky Chair at Home Office To bring another seats option to the office space that is located off the master bedroom, designers brought into a lovely sofa chair-the perfect location for a break or for curling up with a fantastic book.



Dark Colors Make Enormous Master Bedroom Feel More Intimate This huge master bedroom area was a huge, somewhat overwhelming area, so designers chose to bring textured wallpaper into the half wall behind the bed. Then they painted the remaining walls a similar, dark shade to make a more intimate and inviting space. To split the room, another seating area in front of the bed generates an additional relaxing space for the homeowners in their master suite.



Jewel Tones Insert Contrast and Color to Gray Master Bedroom To make the large space feel more cozy and intimate, designers brought into a large, cushioned headboard in navy blue leather. To accent this fresh slice, turquoise lamps were added to the nightstand on either side of the bed-the jewel tones of the accents and the bed frame making a wonderful contrast between the grey walls.



Jewel Toned Accents in Gray Master Bedroom Jewel toned accents help to bring colour to the massive master bedroom.



Jewel Toned Seating at Master Bedroom To give the homeowners a more usable, less overpowering area, designers brought in a jewel toned couch, white seats and also a faux animal hide rug to add subtle color to the large master bedroom area and give the homeowners an additional place to unwind in their master bedroom.



Oversized Accent Pieces in Huge Master Bedroom Because of the soaring ceiling heights in the master bedroom, designers utilized darker colours to produce a more cozy and inviting space. In addition they brought in larger accent pieces like this oversized mirror and dresser to help make the space feel less overwhelming.



Gray Half Wall Separates Master Bedroom from Bathroom Space To separate the master bedroom from the master bath, a half wall has been set up to set up the bounds for both spaces.



Luxurious, Silk Rug in Master Bathroom Rather than a conventional bathmat, designers brought into a gentle and luxurious silk rug to heat up the space and keep the Zen vibe.



Zen Master Bathroom The master bathroom's original design had a very Zen vibe, so designers continued the feel in the space with the addition of a number of new bamboo furniture pieces to the space.



Faux-Shagreen Buffet and Seating for Seven The round dining table and patterned, upholstered chairs seat up to eight people. To add storage, designers attracted in a buffet that's covered in faux-shagreen to add some nice texture against the background.



Black and White, Modern Backyard and Patio Originally, the pergola in the backyard was light grey, but designers painted the bit black to add contrast from the outside area. To keep with the modern design of the house, designers utilized white, vinyl oversize lounge chairs, an area rug and coffee table to give the space an indoor/outdoor appearance.

Renter-Friendly Wallpaper

Renter-Friendly Wallpaper For some individuals, the thought of being surrounded by four off-white walls is just intolerable. And for others, it's just plain dull.

Glitz and Glam Washi tape is great, but it certainly isn't the sole tape out there which may make a big effect in your property. It only took Dina out of Honey & Fitz two rolls of gold duct tape to flip into a basic white refrigerator into a glitzy showstopper.

Julie Blanner found an perfect solution in the form of stainless steel touch paper. For about $5, that this change has the ability. In fact, the landlord may even ask you to leave it up.



Living Decor If you are hoping to put in a homey feel to your leased space, simply adding a few plants around the house might do the trick. This fiddle leaf fig tree adds life and texture into the living room. And for an additional bonus, crops help purify indoor air. (No more mystery smell from renters past.)



Gallery Wall Paper If you can not background your rental, then why don't you try framing your favourite wallpaper instead?

An Easy Switch A terrific way to add some personality to your rented space is to just switch out those simple door knobs with some that suit your taste. Just be sure you switch back to the originals before you move out.



Rugs on Rugs on Cabinets Let us talk flooring. Scratched hardwood and stained carpeting are just the beginning. Before moving in, it never hurts to get the flooring professionally cleaned. But if they still look like a mess, rugs are going to be your new best friend. Set them over hardwood and even over carpet for a clean, updated look that's all you.



Electric Style If you like the duct tape idea, you are going to adore this stylish door by Stacie out of Stars for Street Lights. Some quick measuring, a steady hand and a little bit of electrical tape totally transformed these contractor-grade doors. The result is nothing short of fabulous!
