Inspiring Style: For the Home

Moving isn't much fun. I recently moved just a few miles away from my old place, and although I like the new place and area, the moving part is something I never want to do again. The best thing about moving is re-organizing your space and decorating. So I've been looking at a lot of rooms lately and adding my inspiration to my For the Home board on Pinterest.

Here are a few home styles that have inspired me during this move.Bedrooms ~ What I love most about bedrooms is minimalism with a touch of elegance. If I had it all my way, I would have wood or concrete floors, a nice rug, a platform bed and a lot of natural light.

Closets ~ What girl doesn't love a big closet?

Even if you don't have all the space for a very big closet, the best way to make that room appear bigger is by organizing it by color, season or item. 


Living Rooms ~ My mom is the type of person who loves a good living room set, especially if it comes with a hutch of some sort.

Maybe it's a Jamaican thing...not sure. But for me, that's a bit too matchy-matchy. I'm a sucker for unique pieces, color and cool bookshelves.

My favorite things about this first living room are the colored drapes, the tall branches, and the two white chairs off to the side.

How can you not like a bookshelf focal piece? I really like all the angles, the shelving, and even the white space in this living room set. 

Cool light fixtures are great additions as well. 

And I'm not really a fan of the color green all that much, but there is just something about this last living room set that I love so much. 

The green accent wall along with the green soft against the white and black furniture is spot on.

I wanted to include photos of my own place for this post, and I was able to get this wall painted just in time.


How do you feel about living room, bedroom and closet designs for the home?

  1. We'll be looking to move sometime soon, I don't look forward tp the packing and un-packing, but I do look forward to a new space! I love decorating :)))) These are great. My house has a lot of books, paintings, objects all over the place. Antique pieces. If someone liked minimal, my house would freak them out, haha! Though, it's always organized and everything has a place, if it was all over, then I'd freak. I love that second photo at the top, that is so pretty and the colour is very calming. I like the colour of your living room, it's gorgeous :)) xx

  13. My style is more traditional and classic than modern or minimalism.
    I like to add some history and art to a place. :)
    Color is always good too!

  17. Cheryl, I love your blue walls and rug! So pretty! When you showcased that green and brown, I thought it was so cool. There's something about that sage green that's so pretty and soft! I have a lot of browns and neutrals in my place and that particular green would definitely liven everything up. Hmmm, maybe I'll change. Ohhhh what I wouldn't give for a HUGE walk in closet! Excellent post!

  24. Cheryl, I've missed coming to your blog! So glad to be back. I agree the packing and hauling part of the moving process is tedious and never that much fun. But the ending result after you've set up your home is always rewarding, right? When I eventually get my own place I think my style would be modern meets chic. But I'm loving the inspiration, It's a dream of mine to have my own walk in closet someday.

    Your place looks fabulous! Love the walls. And I see a guitar in one of the pictures...do you play?
