Last week I talked about my visit to Paris and how I found inspiration around every corner. This post will show you how to turn those inspirations into effective design concepts. You can find inspiration day to day in many different areas of life. It could be from an outfit you see a stranger wearing, an editorial in a magazine or a fantastic meal you may have eaten. Take a picture or make a note, just remember that little snippet of inspiration. However sometimes it is hard to materialize this inspiration and therefore this is where I aim to help, I will share with you 5 of my Paris inspirations:
Keep it simple
Just look at one aspect of your inspiration, in the top picture I took inspiration from the gold gate and classical baroque style. Doing so this is then translated into the gold baroque basin stand and the gold chest of drawers. Don't think too big, keep it simple.
Bring the outside in
This amazing wall of plants gave me inspiration for a previous blog post. The incredible greeny made me think of bringing the outside in, think outside the box. To read my terrarium blog here is the link: terrarium blog post
Bright lights
The Eiffel Tower lit up at night is truly magical, so taking the light aspect and adding it to a room using fairy lights is easily done. The sheer chiffon in front of these lights helps soften it even more giving a lovely effect.
Modern day mural
Taking inspiration from the ceiling of The Chapel of Versailles, a modern day mural sprung to mind. Within this bathroom it gives a twist to an otherwise modern and plain room. Full wall murals can be bought online and look amazing within a room.
Pick a colour
The bright red of The Moulin Rouge is eye catching therefore I wanted to bring this inspiration within a room. By making this colour the main focal point, it packs a punch (just make sure the rest of the room is neutral).
