monday’s favourites

hello lovelies, how are you doing? did you have a nice weekend? we were cozy and warm in our place most of the time, as a rainy weekend didn’t allow for much more! and speaking of being warm, today’s favourites are all about that, though in a different point-of-view! this feature is about to become really interior design related, but i love it so much! today’s favourites are all about black and white in our homes, and though when we think about black and white we think about minimalist and somehow a cold environment, i want to bring your attention to different ways of adding these two colours without turning your room into a cold room!

so let’s start by asking you if you feel these rooms as cold rooms? i hope not, but if you do please do give me feedback on that! this blogging thing is only fun with feedback from that side where you stand! i don’t feel these cold because there are other textures and colours mixed in these rooms, instead of a plain black & white decor. we see those around and i like them on a visual kind of opinion, not for my home though.

i think these above work due to several reasons and those reasons are all within my personal taste, which is whether not having a white floor, mixing up other warm colours like mustard, yellow or an overall grey mood with just a few accents in black & white… i love colour, but i wouldn’t like a colourful home, with different colours all over the place. i happen to have wood floors with a wood colour (ah! imagine that!), so i end up mixing white furniture, inspired 50s mid-century furniture and i will add some black & white accents along with one or two colours. i don’t like the matchy-matchy, but something with character, warm, cozy and that says someone lives there, without being too messy!

so what are you thoughts on this?
