Decor Mag Highlights: February/March

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I started to notice that my mailbox isn’t as full of interior design magazines as it used to be. I miss Domino as much as the next guy (or gal)! Here are my favorite images from this month’s (remaining) decor magazines. Elle Decor and Coastal Living are where I found the most inspiration; the below images are from these two publications.

Sophisticated island chic can be done! Love the crisp black & white.

The white and black palette and eclectic furniture works well.
The corresponding living room incorporates the black & white palette, adding eclectic furnishings and natural accents.

Chic neutrals is the theme for January/February Decor Mag Highlights.  Thanks to Elle Decor and House Beautiful for these inspiring interior shots!

This creamy palette is perfect the sitting area of a master bedroom.

Great composition and unique use of stripes. Not sure about the functionality of that coffee table though...

The home owners made a wise decision to keep the rough texture on this dining room wall during the remodel. Love it!

Check out my favorite images from the November/December issues of Elle Decor and House Beautiful. Also, a sad farewell to Metropolitan Home magazine…we will miss you!

Wow, this room packs a punch!

This room packs a punch! The color scheme provides great inspiration for a sitting room.

The eclectic mix of prints and woods and generous use of linen and cotton create a sophisticated and comfortable retreat.

Great idea to use two smaller tables and a freestanding L-bench in the place of an actual built-in banquette.

Decor Mag Highlights!

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

The September shelter magazines have all arrived and I’m sharing my favorite rooms. Read on for some inspiring images for Fall, courtesy of Elle Decor and House Beautiful…

The contrasting textures and colors are grounded by light, neutral walls and sofa. Love it!
Risky move to paint the walls and built-ins with a rich, bold blue. It paid off!
The lilac color palette is soothing without being too matchy. The modern glass coffee table keeps the room light and airy.
