Coco Chanel’s Living Room Tour

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Suzy Q

I’ve featured Coco’s apartment before and I just can’t get enough of her effortless and elegant taste of design. I came across some more stunning photos of her place and just had to include them on the blog. My next living room makeover is going to look a little more like this: lots of bookshelves above the sofa, and some extravagant lacquered Chinese screens. Something to dream about!

How to Decorate with Clutter Fabulously

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Suzy Q

Believe it or not, but clutter has recently become a staple in the design world! Making a home interesting, clutter can amazingly set a well-traveled feel to a boring home, if you do it right. To get the look without making your home look messy and disorganized, follow these tips:

Only display the meaningful items you truly love
Arrange mix and matched objects so they make sense like a stack of books with a sculpture on top
Multi-use your objects like vases, and bowls, that can be used for holding fruit or keys. Decorative boxes can be used to hold scarves, or mail.
Group similar objects together like a collection of trinkets or a collection of small mismatching frames
Line up items of different heights to keep the eye traveling
Be creative and arrange items in a meaningful way
