More accessories does not always mean better design
BVD has a new homepage article about Mika and Gideon’s home pictured to the left. The furnishings are cool, but there are elements which are leaving me cringing and I just can’t seem to get past them.
The room to the left is great. Just change the drapes, take the bows off the walls, change the artwork, and viola - you’d have a really great space. People seem to think that more is better, but it’s not always so. Sometimes more is just more.
On the other hand I quite like the hallway to the right. The purple makes a nice statement with the crazy table. But it’s not overwhelming. All of the elements are simple and in harmony.
I also really like the loveseat by the window to the left. The combination of everything here is visually striking. The lushness of the follage is the one place where over the top is a good thing.
