DESIGN BLUEPRINT: Dining in Blue

Great dining room design doesn't take much, as you can see with this space above. 

All you need is a consistent color palette, a cool pice of art, statement lighting, smart furniture and a beautiful area rug that pulls it all together. The clean white walls allow all of this to shine...

Want this look? Don't over-do it, keep things simple.

CURATED NEST: Comfortable Seating

One of the easiest ways to add extra seating in a small space, without adding more chairs, is with poufs. They're great for kids and adults alike.

The best part is there's so many styles, you're sure to find one that fits your decor. Here's some ideas to get you started...

1. CB2

2. ZGallerie

3. Dwell Studio

4. YLiving

5. West Elm

6. Lulu & Georgia

7. 55 Downing Street

DESIGN BLUEPRINT:

Sometimes minimal design is the best design, especially in the bedroom. The more simple the design, the less distractions you have (and it's also easier to clean). The place where you rest should never be distracting or busy...

This place above has all the essentials with a little bit of decor. It looks both stylish and relaxing.
