Red, White, & Blue: National Pride In Your Home

Posted: 26 May 2012 04:33 AM PDT

Many countries have red, white, and blue on their national flags. This color combination is especially prevalent in the U.S.A. this weekend because of the Memorial Day holiday, so inspiration is all around in the States. Of course, even though this color combination has national significance for many countries, the point is that they look great together in décor as well as on a flag.

Maybe you've never considered these colors before for your décor, but the inspiration photos below will definitely change your mind. Why do they look so good together? It comes down to the fact that primary colors like red and blue are simply made to go together and also, what's not to love about a bold and daring color combination? Either way, we can't get enough of the fun, unique rooms that feature this great color combination. See for yourself by checking out the inspiration rooms featured below.

This room has some incredible features. Apart from the great color combination and thick crown molding, I can't get enough of the gorgeous wood attern on the floor. Of course, it's the pop of red color in the writing desk and then again on the wall that truly makes the space.

This is such a cozy room with decadent linens and many different accessories that are appealing and welcoming. For a space that's permeated with cool blue tones, the slick, shiny red pillows and chair provide a shot of personality and excitement to the space.{picture from here}.

Spiral staircases are always so fun to have in a home, and this one in particular is painted a refreshing blue color. The painted medallion on the floor is the one features that makes this room completely unique. The red, white, and blue theme is carried throughout to the accessories as well as the furnishings, like the red desk and chair in the foreground.

It's not just the U.S.A. that celebrates these great colors. This fantastic velvet sofa is an updated vintage piece, and the mismatched pillows bring great charm to the room. Of course, the central part of the room is the flag tapestry, which adorns the wall and commands all the attention in the room.

Sleek, lacquered walls are such an incredible (and expensive) design trend right now. I love how this designer went bold with the color showing no inhibitions whatsoever. The red doors only add to this incredible hallway, and the black and white tiled floors complete the look.

Ultimately, I hope these pictures show that red, white, and blue can make amazing color additions to your home, whether you just add a few pillows or completely embrace a bold design change. While not everyone will like all of the looks featured here, there are definitely parts from each design that can inspire you to get excited about adding red, white, and blue to your home.

Stylish red attic interior design in Madrid

Posted: 26 May 2012 02:29 AM PDT

An attic can be turned into a very cozy living space. This one is particularly interesting. It has a colorful interior décor with red as a star color. It's a lounge area with red walls and striped wallpaper and it can be considered a very relaxing and chic home. The attic is located in Madrid and it's owned by a family that loves to spend time outdoors.

The penthouse they own includes three bedroom and two terraces and all the rooms have direct access to the outdoor areas. They turned the attic into a lounge area and they chose red as the main color. It was a very good choice, considering the fact that this space is already filled with light and it was designed for socialization and entertainment. The attic also includes a brown sofa, a matching carpet, a black side table, white lounge chairs and orange accent cushions. The master bedroom features striped wallpaper and colorful cushions in tones of dark blue, red, orange and turquoise

There are two terraces. One is linked to the living room and was turned into an outdoor dining area while the other is a lounge area with two comfortable chairs, some stools and a table. In the library, the ceiling has been painted red and matching chairs have been added. The dining room features red walls and white furniture for a strong contrast. The whole place is very colorful and the décor is dynamic but simple and charming.{found on micasarevista}.

Black and white Appricot office walls

Posted: 25 May 2012 05:23 PM PDT

Appricot is a brand new startup company. There's not much anyone knows about it yet except for the fact that they're currently building a big project called BestAppz. But even though the company itself is still a mystery, its headquarters isn't. In fact, there's a lot we can learn about it from the way it looks on the inside.

The Appricot headquarters is one of the most interesting ones out there. It doesn't impress with its size or luxury. The fact is that all this space has to offer is a series of wall illustrations. It's enough to leave everyone speechless. The illustrations and the interior design were created by Nina Radenkovic from Belgrad, Serbia. She focuses on digital art, graphic design and illustration. She's not yet very famous but this project will definitely help with that.

The illustrations she created for the Appricot headquarters are playful and they also display positive messages such as "If you can imagine it, you can make it." Or "The best way to predict the future is to invent it". These messages are accompanied by black and white illustrations with playful characters. They cover entire walls and the reception desk. It's a simple but very efficient way of inspiring the workers and introducing positive messages. The headquarters is a happy place with a minimalist interior décor but dynamic and filed with positive energy.{found on behance}.
