The perfect shelter

 


My dream workspace

Nothing can lit up busy weekdays like a nice workspace, especially for those who work at home like me! Here are some pictures which really caught my eyes for their multi-functional fixtures and unique design, since my workspace needs more storage to store my clutters. 
As a freshman many years ago, I thought I need a big desk to manage my interior work sheet (can be up to A0 size) so i ordered this big desk and never thought i would regret it. Because now, most of my works are done with pc and the desk is no longer practical and definitely a space consuming.


Sticotti Collection via Design Within Reach 
It's one of my favourite.
I love wooden texture combine with the coldness of the steel material. It's like yin and yang, it's about balance, and i love harmony. Also the desk size is exactly like the one i need, along with the shelf.

West side story


1. Hermes Leather Agenda
2. Coffee table - Artisans at Rocky Hill
3. Gulassa's Corolla Pendant - gulassaco.com
4. Horse statue - Jonathan Adler, Weego Home.
5. Travertine wallpaper - paperillusionshops.com

This week's inspiration comes from the fine line design of Eames Chair and natural elements from western style. Modern and country style both have very different rules applied into interior design but yet very interesting to combine.

 I made this "Eames Meet West" moodboard to explore the flexibility of decorating the interior without too much hassle on changing the whole room, but simply by adding accessories we can create a new ambient.

The lines and sleek surface of furniture add a unique contrast into animal prints fabric and wooden material which are commonly found in western or country style.

 Pay attention to details. By keeping the wall finish simple, I put layers of texture from the chair's and coffee table's finish to elegant velvet cushion. Animal prints always work on country style, but remember to not put too much effort on it.
