4 Trends for Home decor in 2019

From the beginning of 2019, we have been constantly studying the decor trends by going to all sorts of trade events. It is true that you should always choose what speaks to you. However by understanding what’s going on in the market, you can always find some better ways to express yourself. Since spring is here, it is a perfect time to fresh up your home. Here are 4 trends we have observed so far and love to share them here in our blog. Hope you find them useful for your projects.

Chinossorie.

A touch of oriental decor, it doesn’t matter it is a vase, a fabric print, a painting, always adds a touch of whimsical to any space. Just remember, a little bit is just enough. after all, you are not an antique store.

I love this bluish modernized chinoiserie wallpaper.

2. Remember it is still the year of pig.

A small piggy sculpture, or a jar always adds an interest to any space and they will always remind you that —it is a year of prosperity and keep you positive.

3. Modern classic.

Yes, we still love minimalism but in a different way. We like clean-lines but with curved forms and a lot of classic details. Yes, we are in love with modern decor with sophistication.

5IMG_6896 — always love lucile furniture—light, airy and glamours.

6IMG_6887 — the beautiful shapes of this dining table set.

7IMG_6883 — love how they add the metal design on this sofa.

4. A touch of vintage.

We hope you enjoy the above information and if you plan a make-over and need some help, you are welcome to contact us.

Happy Wednesday

LA Street Style I

Spring is here. The warmer weather and blooms magically put everyone in a very cheerful mood. So, we took the opportunity and wander around LA street to immerse ourselves in the season and get inspired.

STREET3 — I always have a thing about bicycles. I love purple and flowers in this picture! It’s a dream if I can just ride a bicycle with full blooms in a small quiet beach town. If you happen to plan some make-over for your home, lilac is one of the good choices. I specially like lilac in matte finish. And also, remember have some fresh flowers at home! They will make you feel much happier!

STREET1 — It’s a late afternoon. I like how the sun shines on the industrial building creating interesting shadows. This hot pink minimalism bench is such a eye candy in contrast with the grayish industrial surroundings. Spring finally broke through the coldness and is here with a little bit surprise and cheer. Take -away— for your interiors, don’t just pile things up, rather intentionly layer different things through creating interesting contrast!

STREET2 — Graffiti on LA street is always my inspiration. Take-away for interiors: please always have some artworks for your home. They are the soul for each space. They make your lifestyle much deeper.

Wood just brings the warmth for this high-ceiling modern space with a lot of whites.

Cool rope lighting in this sun-lit cozy Japanese restaurant. I always love the room with a lot of natural lights

An outdoor space with a lot of greeneries, wicker peacock chairs and pink antique rug.

Happy Tuesday

Weekend Brunch Tabletop

It’s fun, fun, fun to host our own Sunday brunch at home because we can control what we put in the mouth and specially, it’s the beginning of the summer time and the weather is so nice. What we do have a lot now are floras and greeneries. Peonies are in the season in LA. So there is no reason not to go big on greenery and floral table decor. But I rather do them in a very organic and simple way. Here is the video we shot for one of our weekend brunch tabletop.

I hope you enjoy watching the video. Here are 3 take-aways for an elegant yet casual tabletop setting:

Have a lot of greeneries accentuated by in-season flowers.
Have a main color theme for the table-setting—we used blue-and-white in the video—the perfect color palette to celebrate the beginning of the summer.
Just schedule time to do it over the weekend. You are going to enjoy it a lot!

Kitchen to Relax

After a long and busy week day, we want to come back home that provides refuge, and comfort. It’s a place that we can chill out and relax in a style. One of The kitchen trends today is to create live-in feeling in the kitchen, which often incorporates built-in banquette seating to make a kitchen a secondary living room. The kitchen we designed in the video features with Moroccan tiles, antique Louis XVI chairs, custom built-in banquette, a mid-century wood table and modern brass chandelier… etc. Mixing and matching of different styles infuses playful yet elegant vibes to this urban kitchen.

5 Ways to Create a Chic Country Dining Room

As fashion shows go on, we are inspired and love to get the looks from Run-way to Hallway. And also, we do have Fall in Los Angeles. As the foliages in the whole world start to change the colors, we also crave for the feeling that make us feel unique, warm, romantic, strong, matured and homy. So what came my mind is the color combination of tangerine and dark blue.

After those pastels and cool beach colors dominated the whole summer, this combination of warm and cool saturated colors suddenly brings us a drama. It’s modern and chic. It makes a very strong statement. This is the case study how we used this fashion combination colors in recent country-style design project and make the place pleasant and livable.

Fall & Winter 2015--2016 Color Trend — Fall & Winter 2015–2016 Color Trend

Here are 5 steps to create this fashionable dining room look:

Choose what inspired us most and make it as the start point. In this project, it’s the color combination of tangerine and blue. It’s such an interesting contrast for this country barn-style room.
Paint walls and the ceiling neutral colors as the calm backdrop for the future furnishings and pops of tangerine and blue.
Mix-and-match the style— have the modern clean-line furniture to give the room a fresh and youthful loom.

4. Chinoiserie on the screen and geometric patterns on the rug and Roman shades balance the energy between Yin and Yang, feminine and masculine.

5. Abstract artworks just leave the imagination of whoever enters the room wide open.

6 Ways to Create a Chic Bohemian Country Style

When September is here, we start to feel the fall. One of the decor styles that has inspired me in the last several weeks is Bohemian style, the style featured with bright colors & patterns, cozy seatings, artsy mix-and-match and vibrant textiles. Aren’t those we love natural beauty for the fall? Then we had this design project and it is a country house. There are exposed beams and stone walls which make house look very organic. And the house is filled with natural light. The client wants to keep the original country style but wants the house look have fresh and updated rather than too heavy and traditional. The client likes bright colors and feminine touches. Here we go— a chic bohemian country style for her. Here for 6 ways how we create the look:

Paint all walls light gray and all trims and ceilings bright white to create a modern clean and crisp backdrop for the later vibrant furnishings and bouncing around light while still keep the stone walls and exposed beams. The contrast of the old and new gives the whole house a very fresh looking.
Have petite upholstered furniture spread around the house such as chairs and ottomans in jewelry tones to give it a sophisticated and feminine touch.
Have bright Moroccan area rugs in the house for the vibrant vibe.
Have unmatched bohemian draperies to make the whole space whimsy, playful and elegant.
Artsy arrangement of modern artworks on the fireplace and walls.
Fresh flowers, please.

Hope you enjoy the above.

#TBT Thursday! Here is the dining-room project we did 2 years ago.

The client wanted low-tone yet glamours atmosphere for her dining room. There are 5 steps we took to achieve the goal:

Installed brown-crystal chandelier to play the low-tone.
Gold-leafed peripheral of the focal wall.
Stenciled roses in the notch of the focal wall to create whimsical feeling.
