Have a real crush on those little pine trees - especially in conjunction with the pretty flowers. To me it is a very successful marriage between soft & hard, colour & neutral, and feminine & masculine.
The balance between detail vs void, busy vs quiet, colour & white makes this room work.
Clustering the focal points and allowing the rest of the room to breathe is a very clever way of creating a visual impact without cluttering or overwhelming the eye. To me there are two main 'anchors' in the room - the tablescape and the left hand side window decor. Nothing else is needed.

Leaving the soothing & clam atmosphere of the dining room one is met by a symphony of impressions through the Christmas tree. A little twisted, uneven and imperfect it creates a lovely contrast to the balanced feel of the previous room.
These spaces are beautiful, I really like them.
ReplyDeleteCan I can you how much I just laughed at the comment you left me earlier....you cheeky monkey!!! That is officially the funniest comment anyone has ever written on my blog ;)
Enjoy the snow, hope you & your family are well XX
Charlotta, what a lovely blog you have here. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, otherwise I wouldn't have found my way back. I've enjoyed this post because I've always felt an awareness of the yin and yang of life. It's a powerful sensation that's quite inexplicable and I think all of us who style and decorate and create art instinctively feel this.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your son Oscar is adorable. Love those blue eyes!
Blessings to you,
Leslie (aka Gwen Moss)
Balans är viktigt, både i livet och vid inredning :)
