A Kitchen Event

When we just came back KBIS a week ago, we were really blown away by some of the innovations in the show. After all, the kitchen is the fastest growing sections among the whole home improvement industry. We always see some of the coolest things in kitchen from pro cooking appliances, range hoods, to refrigerators, faucets, countertop, smart technologies, lightings, etc… Although I am still working on the blog of KBIS 2019 (hope soon I can publish it), we were invited to a local trade kitchen showroom industry event several days ago, and actually were able to see some newer trends and technologies in the showroom that resonate what we saw from KBIS2019. This kitchen showroom is not that big but quite modern, neat and sleek even with a luxury walk-in closet and some cool technologies. Ladies, who doesn’t love a stylish, open and airy walk-in closet with a lot of bells and whistles?!!! And last but not the least, we had professional chefs working in the kitchen and making some yummy gourmet foods. Here are some of our wonderful moments from this beautiful night!

Fresh flowers always make guests feel so welcoming! I just love these saturated colors! They create a cheerful mood and beautiful moments. It is always such a good idea to have some fresh plants and flowers in kitchens. They make everyone happy and enhance the appetites!

The kitchen is quite modern and sleek. Yet I like how the showroom styled the food with wood trays –very organic, warm and welcoming ..

Here are some cool things in the kitchen area:

IMG_5114.2019-03-04 09_57_28.gif — Miele Coffee machine—How neat it is! The coffee station incorporating a compact coffee machine in the kitchen is quite trendy in 2019. It’s convenient and very handy. Who wouldn’t love the coffee aroma in the earlier morning in our own kitchens?

Here is my espresso just made from Miele coffee machine!

Well, after being through all of those above kitchen experiences, I think everyone just cannot wait to create a pretty live-in kitchen for ourselves or host a family/friends get-tother event soon in the already-pretty kitchens. After all, it is a life style!

Ok, let’s continue our beautiful evening by walking to the rear of the showroom. Wow, here is the large walk-in closet:

Love the central island and above chandelier and of course the lovely tufted leather bench.

What a nice touch to be able to see your jewelries on the top island surface.

Obviously, I don’t have any problem to just chill out here for the whole day!

Coastal Maximalism

Every time when people talk about California coastal interiors, it is always kind of either white, cream or blueish color palettes with signature California lay-back vibes. But not for this one. It is located right at Corona Del Mar , So Cal and has a perfect polished modern classical style with maximalism in mind. The home is owned by Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson, the co-founders of the California-based cosmetics brand Too Faced. Then, I guess you expect some big wows!

Interior designer Mary MacDonald create such wonderful color palettes for each room:

Feminine hot pink pops up from cream, white and grey background with masculine architectural elements.

The entry hall staircase is so French featured with gilded rails, hand-painted wallpaper, marble stairs. White, gold and black create such a modern classic tone for t5he whole house

mcdonald4-1549305503 — Grey, white, gold again create classic atmosphere in the master bath and wooden ottoman add a touch of warmth to this all marble-covered space.

Love this pink guest bathroom. Pink, black and strong geometric patterns balance off each other.

Trend Altert—eat-in kitchen with built-in banquette

Wouldn’t be nice to have a cozy and intimate eat-in area in your kitchen. The built-in banquette solution, for sure, help achieve this kitchen goal while often providing neat looking and extra storage. Here are some of or favorites.

eat-in-1 — Better using the corner space while add a touch of chic style in the kitchen. Love those pillow throws and cute chairs!

eat-in-4 — While the kitchen still keeps its traditional vibes, a eat-in area with marble dining table lend a hand of modern flair.

eat-in-5 — A sunny day with a comfy seating.

eat-in-6 — Buit-in bench with artwork above creates such a neat, open and clean looking.

Happy Thursday

A splash of Pink

For some weired reason, I always have a mood for color of pink on Wednesday. What about you? What is your mood color on Wednesday? From hot pink, blush to muted pastel, pink always evokes feeling of romance, dream, elegance, feminism, sophistication and sweetness.

outdoorxmasdecor-3 — Roses in different shades of pink for a Spring garden high-tea time.

outdoorxmasdecor — Pink flowers always look gorgeous with blue-and-white vase.

The pink tablecloth pairing with pink florals is always such a romantic approach for a Valentine’s Day table decor.

Pink flowers and birthday cake—my favorite!

readingroom — Pink and Pantone’s Ultra Violet means feminine and beautiful

Pink flowers add freshness and modern flair to this traditional dining room.

holidayguestroom-1 — Muted pink is one of signature colors for Scandinavia design.

hoklidaylivingroom — Pink and red means nobel, elegant and fashionable.

hokidayoffice-1 — Pink— a soft touch for your office.

v-freshflowers — Pink and brass—elegant yet modern.

holidayshowhouselivingroom — Pink walls and ceiling

WANGFAMILYROOM — A vintage pink print over the fireplace

It looks like we do use a lot of pink in our design projects.

6 Ways to Bring a Little Lagom to your Interiors

Hygge might have been the décor buzz word in the last couple of years. But this year, Lagom, a Swedish concept is set to change the way we decorate our homes and look after our health and well-being.

Unlike hygge—the Danish idea of “coziness” that promotes warmth and comfort—lagom is a life style. It means “just the right amount,” focusing on moderation and creating the perfect balance between not too much and not too little across everything from work/life balance to financial well-being.

Coming across a lot of recent designs and Instagram, I feel that lagom interiors may be on the way to become one of the design trends to watch in 2018! Here are 6 ways to adopt a little lagom into your interior today:

Efficient flow: Creating balance in a space is much more than just the aesthetics of the room, is also incorporates the way that the room flows and how it supports the way that you use it. Will the scale of the furniture fits the space or overwhelm the space? Can you comfortably move around the room without having to squeeze past furnishings? Meeting needs such as these, without overcomplicating the design is an important component of lagom interiors – take a practical approach to the design process for a space that offers everything you need.
Calm color palettes: The color of your home can have a profound impact on your mood and well-being. We all find that calm, soothing natural colors such as white gray, muted pastels and light earthy tones can absolutly relax us and provide a simple and fuss-free foundation for a beautifully balanced room.
Practicality and functionality: There is a purpose for each room and decor accessories in terms of functionality and the way it triggers your emotion.
Natural materials and craftsmanship: : Lagom promotes to make things less complicated and allow the natural beauty of materials and artisan craftsmanship to shine such as celebrating the grace of woven natural materials, the warmth of raw oak and the purity of soft cotton.
Layer effect: Tone-on-tone theme with various textures and materials to creat a warm yet sophisticated space.
Mix something new and something old to build up characters and personality: The antique, vintage pieces always add history, depth, story and charisma to the space, making it fun to live with and often spark a good conversation.

Happy Saturday!

Friday House Tour

Finally, we have a little bit cooler weather, about 90 degree. The daily temperature of the whole week is averaged at 100 degree. So I regard today’s weather is a big bless. Yes, and it is Friday. Friday’s color palette should be relaxing, soothe, cheerful yet something that gives you a totally fresh feeling and make you want to take a weekend adventure. Welcome to Finnish designer Minna Parikka’s colorful Helsinki home.
