I dream of romance edged in beauty

Today I decided to do a post of dreamy interiors that I've been collecting and wanted to share. In some way, each room appeals to me - I like the simplicity, and the touches of romantic vintage, and the restful but pretty colours. Each space is a place I could dream in and be at be peace, and each room is a reflection of the owners personality - to me, these are some of the important elements of the dream house I have in my mind. What would your dream house be like, and where would it be?

Have a happy weekend dear friends.

  2. My only condition is that there has to be a lot of light and big windows with a nice view. Because I pretty much have double personality, I'd like to have a spacious apartment in some high-rise residential building, overlooking one of my favourite cities. And a cottage house somewhere in the countryside in my homeland, complete with the cliche decor. Oh, and a house by the sea, because I love the seaside in my country, simple design, sort of Scandinavian style, a lot of white, wooden, terrace... As far as other countries go, I'd like to have enough money to stay in the most beautiful hotels there - I love room service ;D
    As for design, usually I'm leaning towards simplicity. Walls in neutral colours + dark wooden floor and furniture, sheepskin rug, dark chocolate leather couch, beige marble in the kitchen + "feminine" accecories to balance it out - chandelier, mirror in a baroque golden frame, pink ( ;)) tulips in simple, clear glass vases, you get the idea. I hate clutter. Fashion mags would be displayed on a coffee table, stacked neatly ;D
    I could go on and on, interior design is so inspirational.

  3. ohhh i want to cry!!
    that round bed is definitely my favorite!!!

    - My dream houseee... HMMMM...
    Ok I would want to have like 10 houses all over the world and every single house with be designed different so then I can go to a house depending on the mood I´m in... For example for some 60s glamour, Paris it would be. For some trendy, modern, edginess... New York here I come... For some spiritual, earthy times... Hawaii perhaps???

    Ok I dream wayyy too much! :) Hah!

  6. i'm loving all of these rooms! my requirements for my dream home change all the time, and i think the location would change with time, too. right now, i'd love to be in paris or amsterdam in a space with lots of light, natural wood, lots of space and surrounded by things that inspire me. kinda vague, but that's because i change my mind all the time :)
