Everyone is talking about GREEN! Its the color of the 2017 year! We LOVE the color in the accessory boxes! It doesn’t tie you into so much green, it can be used with almost any color on the wall and its SUPER cool mixed with brushed gold!

Personally I love some time of abstract artwork that can tell a story, or one that you can make one up too! I could NOT love these ladder climbing abstracts more!!

As more and more time goes on, I fall a little bit more in love with floral arrangements. Especially one like this, its simple, elegant and adds that pop of color and fun to a room without being overwhelming.

Garden Stools to me; can go anywhere, can be used for anything and look good in every home! Use this twist garden stool next to a chair or a sofa or even in an entry way or a bathroom.

Tips for Fashioning a Chic Home: Luxe Decor

We’re chatting Tips for Fashioning a Chic Home in a Small Dewelling with Luxe Decor on Bella B Home today!

Whether you reside in a downtown condo or nest in the suburbs, there are plenty of ways to create a polished pad when space comes at a premium. For many, a smaller home or apartment is a way to downsize and ditch the clutter and chaos of a sprawling abode.

Whether you want to live more minimally, or you’ve opted for a smaller space to keep your budget in check, here are some tips to turn a modest dwelling into a stylish, uncluttered space.

Many small apartments are similar to studios with a large great room. Encompassing the dining room and family room into one space means that there’s less room for division and more need for flow. Using similar colored beige furnishings in the living room and dining space creates a feeling of synergy and makes a space feel larger. Built-in bench seating adds more character and rustic accents create a cozy and unified space.

An eclectic home feels chic with a few funky design accents. A bar cart takes the place of a large coffee table while a vertical wall bookshelf offers plenty of room for various tomes. Clean and simple white furniture creates a more airy and open vibe while delicate décor like a simple glass bottle and cactus plants add understated flair.

Book lovers need not fear a space-savvy life, as there are plenty of options for creating storage in a smaller home. Built-in bookshelves and ottomans with hidden storage provide plenty of room for collectibles and literary favorites. Adding smaller furniture to a space dominated with storage is always smart. Small round wooden coffee tables and a little chaise sofa provide enough practicality while keeping tiny living quarters free from stuff overload.

An ultra-modern living space is sleek and sophisticated with cool space age furniture and wooden floor storage. An office and living room combo is the perfect way to keep a small apartment from becoming a clutter zone. Adding a corner desk or small workspace table is the ideal option for a less spacious dwelling.

For those questing a clutter free and glamorous living space, nothing is better than a multipurpose room. A large display bookcase doubles as a desk and a movable ottoman creates room for pillows and blankets. Furnishings with unique textures such as velvet and leather add luxury, while decorative accents like a large round mirror and plush shag rug make a modest apartment feel roomy and regal.

Breath of Fresh Air!

Benjamin Moore recently announced their 2014 Color of the Year: A Breath of Fresh Air (number 806).  As part of both the 2014 Color Trends Palette and the Classic Colors Collection, A Breath of Fresh Air is a timeless hue.

After a long Winter, this is exactly what us east coasters need; A Breath of Fresh Air. This color can go with just about anything in your home to bring some life to a spring that is so close!

breathe of fresh hair

Mix it with neutral palettes that you have in your home; with the grey’s you added last year or that pop of wallpaper that you will be putting in your home this spring! It is a color that is not only beautiful but will remind you of warmth and a spring-summer we all are looking for too!

Some fun ways to use the color this spring, means there are NO rules in painting:

1. Use the pop of color as trim instead of white! Reverse the paint; white walls, breathe of fresh air trim in your bed homes!

2. Paint your front door in Benjamin Moore’s “Breathe of Fresh Air”!

3. Use just one wall of paint and all other walls with decorative wallpaper.

4. Paint old existing chairs or table or stools, bring something old back to life.

5. Make your bathroom and kitchen FUN, add color!!

Enjoy the Breathe of Fresh Air in some photos below for inspiration!
