Color Crush | Pantone MARSALA

Since Marsala has been introduced as the color of the year 2015, this color has proved to be gorgeous on its own or in different color combinations. The earthy shade is a pretty dramatic one, best used in residential spaces and homes rather than commercial spaces as it brings in great warmth into home interiors. What fascinates me about this color is how appealing it looks with different shades of blue (I will share examples with you).   

Marsala is ideal for your living, dining and / or kitchen. I would totally recommend using it on an accent wall in your room or on your kitchen cabinets. This would give you the option to go with either a matte or a glossy / lacquered finish - will absolutely bring in a look of luxury and glamour!! But if you're not very ready to change your paint you can absolutely get this color integrated in different ways i.e. a rug, some accessories, pillows & throws, drapes or even artwork! 

Below are some examples of how this gorgeous pantone can be used at home...


 this rug!!

 Love the artwork and pillows. Notice how beautifully the color complements the aqua blue...

As for some Masrala fashion inspiration...

Trendy Homes | A look at FENDI CASA

If you are an interior designer, decorator or an interior enthusiast, you are probably also a high fashion enthusiast and lover. Fashion and interiors seem to be strongly interrelated and tie in with one another. 

Just like your fashion style, your home serves as a strong reflection of who you are and speaks volumes about your lifestyle.

Today I had to stop and showcase the italian FENDI CASA line and their awesome work in the world of interiors and furnishings. I found this line to be extremely elegant , glamorous and takes 'modern' to a whole new level. 

Love how the infamous logo has used on different pieces!!

This pillow as well as other Fendi Casa pieces are available at Saks! Saks

Inspirations | A Vanity Affair

It's been a while since I posted any interior secrets or inspirations but I'm back in the game and this time I'm here to stay! Today I will keep it short and sweet but I wanted to share with you a few bedroom vanities I had come across and found extremely inspiring that I couldn't get over. These are bound to inspire you to either redecorate or reorganize your very special place (a vanity is a lady's special and very personal place, don't you think?). The vanity images below speak glam and reflect my very personal style which I would absolutely gladly talk a client who needs a vanity makeover into any day.


The full length foldable mirror and the vanity desk are gorgeous. Feathers on the lamp shade for an additional touch of glam.

Bam! Hollywood glam! This is my personal favorite. The beautiful marble on wall and ceiling, the round mirror with lights and most of all the golden hand chair look absolutely stunning. 

The taupy walls add warmth to this space. Love the grande mirror.

Beautiful built in vanity again. This is a bathroom one but still had to share it.

Love the gold against the black walls.

Modern and simple. A leopard print will almost always work wonders.

Inspirations | Dining in Style this Holiday Season

It is this time of the year again when decorations are up, lights are on, malls are buzzing and gifts are wrapped. Moving to the states 2 years ago, I realized the significance of this season on people's lives. I have to admit that the ambience and spirit of the season is very captivating.

Around this time is when families and friends come together to share gifts, prayers and meals in spaces that should be well decorated for the occasion. Below i am sharing with you some beautifully decorated dining spaces that reflect the spirit of the season. 

You can choose your own theme to decorate your space which should reflect not only the special occasion but also the overall decor and style of the room.

Hot List | Cocktail Tables

This week has been a busy one for me as I have been searching for furniture pieces for my own family room! My search is still on but I am about to finally pick my cocktail table!! I wanted to share with you some cocktail / coffee tables that I had came across in my search this week and which I had totally fallen in love with!!

This very versatile and chic table is design by Coffinier Ku made of transparent acrylic. I love this piece because it lightens up a space and gives it an airy feel. Helps your room look more spacious.

This dramatic metal with glass top coffee table from Caracole in silver leaf finish is just right for an eclectic space. Contemporary and stylish, this table has the great detailing that will complement and add glamour to your room (not to mention the beautiful pattern).

Many of my clients are asking me about this look these days, the rustic and the bare.  This planked oak cocktail table with it's large columns and untreated wood says 'restoration warehouse' at its best. 

French-inspired, this cocktail table in silver leaf finish will give your room a trendy look with it's decorative curvature. 

My last piece will be this round brass finished and stained mirror top cocktail table. Brass and gold being very dear to my heart these days, so I chose this which also has the decorative quatrefoil pattern I ADORE. 

Have a happy weekend!
