Eclectic Style

On my morning walk about, I discovered this tiny little iris blooming in our front yard. I had completely forgotten about them. Their blooms are fleeting, lasting no more than a day or two. (My Mom tells me it’s name is Iris Cristata and I am sure these returned with me on one of my trips to upstate New York to visit her.)

As I admired it’s beauty I found myself thinking, what a wonderful color scheme for a room. Later in the morning, what did I find, but that very room…

Lovely,

For the past three weeks we have been talking about what design decisions we have made on the apartment we are working on in Munich, Germany. It’s under construction now. I can’t wait to see it finished! Although small, it will pack a big punch.

Today, let’s cover the master bedroom. See the color palette of materials I selected?

For a small apartment, the bedroom is a nice size. Plenty of room for a king size bed, and a few storage bureaus, and a chair and a half for curling up and reading. Look at this great bed we found. The client loves it.bed selected for Munich apartment

I love the tone it sets for the room – romantic, but clean and simple. I think it will look fabulous centered upon a lush white wool carpet, which sits upon the dark oak floors.

The white carpet has a cut and loop construction giving it a linear pattern. Just so nice and subtle. It sits on dark brown oak flooring.

Drapery will be important in this room, as they will be needed for black out and privacy functions. The client loves nature, trees and plants, so we are using soft greens in the bedroom, along with white, to create that peaceful feeling for her. The drapery has a light linen feel, with a natural linen background, white stripes in a herringbone pattern, and two shades of green stripes. (see above)

The bed will have pure white Frette linens with white duvet cover. Splash will be added with shams and toss pillows in this patterned fabric.

I love the cream and yellow-gold, which has the patterned outlined in green. That simple little outline adds so much depth and sophistication to this fabric. It is also soft and tactile.

The oversized reading chair will be upholstered in this soft green textured fabric. I love its diagonal lines forming 1 1/2″ squares. It also has a soft hand.   reading chair fabric for Munich apartment bedroom

The paint color for this room is a very soft, sage green. It has to be very subtle so it keeps the room restful, but interesting. This Benjamin Moore “Doily” is just right.   Bedroom paint color

This will be a room that I would love to stay in! If I walked into a hotel room and found the above scheme, I would say to myself, “Oh, am I lucky to be here!” Now let’s check out flights to Munich, right away! Are you with me?

This week, I’ve been featuring images on the Wilson Kelsey Design Facebook page from a project published in a 2010 issue of Cote Ouest. My four years of high school French, taken many moons ago, is simply inadequate to translate or be able to identify the designer(s) of this beautiful project. I saved my favorite for last – to post here. From tile floor pattern, to the millwork’s details – I’m in love with everything about this vignette! Doesn’t hurt that the the color purple in all it’s tints and hues imbues the whole image with it’s presence. A cup of tea and a warm muffin in the morning. A good book in the evening. I’d be there every spare moment!

Have  wonderful weekend!

Be sure to drop the Wilson Kelsey Design Facebook page to see other images of the project and to read about Thursday’s design adventure…

Cheers,
