I’ve worked in far too many companies over the years where those horrible motivational posters are somewhere plastered on the walls – you know those ones with someone rowing or climbing a mountain or something telling you to reach your goals? Well, maybe I would’ve stuck around if Therese Sennerholt had been in charge of decor instead!
The Swedish designer’s black and white posters put an instant smile on my face. Thought I’d kick it off with my favourite:
I love packaging, product design, labels, you name it. I’m always on the lookout for great collateral and I found it at the Ace Hotel. Very cool stuff by The Official Manufacturing Co.
Spotted via Miss Moss.
These posters by Austrian designer Albert Exergian are absolutely brilliant.
Thanks to Miss Moss for the inspiration.
For those of you new to this site, we’re building a home. I’ve been running through design decisions and inspiration room by room. We’ve made our way through the main floor, most of the second floor, and now we’re onto the kids’ rooms.
Our nursery furniture has been passed down to the baby and our eldest daughter is ready for some new digs. How exciting. My goal is to design a room that is playful, but not too childish – if that makes sense. Fun and whimsical with some longevity as she grows.
Below: It was years ago that I saw this photo of Amanda Peet’s daughter’s room in Domino Magazine. Something about it stayed with me, though. The space is filled with character, but is still sophisticated. The Funny Girl poster is fabulous and I love the mix of patterns. Plus, what’s not to love about the rug?
Below: Milk Magazine is a total treat from start to finish. It was hard to whittle down which shots to share, but here are a few.
Below: If you don’t already know, I’m a big fan of Emmas Blog. She always has inspiring finds and the kids rooms below are no exception.
Below: The room below was designed by J.Crew style maven, Jenna Lyons, as seen in LivingEtc. There was no shying away from colour for her son’s space. Black walls – I don’t think I’d have the guts to pull that one off, but she certainly did!
Below: Former Domino Magazine editor Deborah Needleman also gave a good does of colour to her kids’ rooms, not to mention a gorgeous Paul Smith rug!
