Inspiring Interior

The moment that I saw this week’s inspiring interior I began to mentally redecorate my home.  It is a stark contrast to the black and white with a pop of colour palette that I currently live in. I don’t normally gravitate to complete neutrals but there is something calming about this light filled penthouse.  Located on the Belgian coast, this weekend getaway blends seamlessly into its environment.  The sandy tones, cool neutral colours and natural accents combine to create a spacious zen environment that would calm even the most harried of souls.  While most of us are unable to getaway to the Belgian coast, take a few minutes to take a deep breath as you scroll through the pictures of this stunning sanctuary.  Enjoy!

Inspiring Interiors

Lately I have been craving simplicity. I have been gravitating towards clean and simple interiors that feel cozy and spacious at the same time.  This week’s inspiring interior is exactly that – clean, simple and beautiful.

Located in Stockholm, this light filled one bedroom apartment is a masterclass in minimalism.  With stark white walls, light natural coloured flooring and contrasting rich green cabinetry and tiles in the open kitchen and shower, this apartment is the perfect space to relax and unwind after a busy work week.  The cozy little balcony would be perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee on a lazy morning.  This apartment will be a part of my interior dreams for the foreseeable future.  Love it!

Inspiring Interiors

Interior design and architecture have been a life long passion of mine.  I love how some fresh paint and light can completely transform a room.  One of my favourite interior designers is Barcelona based designer Katty Schiebeck.  Katty is a design forced to be reckoned with.  Her show stopping interiors are a lesson in simplicity and minimalism, and her use of colours and contrasting materials is absolutely breathtaking.  To say that I am obsessed with her work would be an understatement, so it made sense that one of her projects would be the first in the Inspiring Interiors series here on Stylishly Zen.

This project located on the Passeig de Concepcio in Barcelona is part of a conversion project that Katty worked on.  The use of natural light and marble contrasting with dark wood and pops of colour makes this aparthotel a showstopper.  The herringbone pattern on the floor elevates the level of design in the entire space. Simple and elegant, this apartment is straight out of my dreams.
