Model Apartment

In contrast to Jessica Stam's apartment Erins has a lot of personal touches with an eclectic mix furniture. Even though I like the apartmnet and it has great space I prefer rooms rather than an open plan layout.

Purple haze

These pictures of model Jessica Stam's apartment look incredibly grown up and glamorous. However, the use of one tone of purple with further pastel colours make the apartment seem to stylised and lack any personal touches. But there are some design ideas that I like, my favourite it the wooden door in the second picture, which reminds me of Indian houses.

Photo Walls

The concept of devoting one wall in a room to frames of photographs greatly appeals. Currently I have pictures in frames on windowsills, floors and on top of piles of books. I would love to conform them so that they become a focal point of a room. I'd integrate various frame sizes and frame detailing as it gives the wall a bit more of an eclectic feel.

I love the old style radioators, and placing pictures on the floor, it allows for greater use of space. I think wooden floors look grear but can make a room cold.

This a picture of Norweigian photographer Trine Thorsen home.

When I lived my student, we used to put our pictures in the center of one wall, like the picture above. It was an easy way to portray our pictures while providing the blank walls with a bit of life.

I love the colour of the walls and the gold frames add a touch of glamour.
