Good morning dear friends!
One of the amazing thing about the internet, for me anyway, is stumbling across unexpected delights. I wasn't planning on posting today; I was doing some research, but one thing led to another, and I found myself on this site looking at some amazing interiors, and I knew I just had to share them with you!
I used to think that a designer should have a strong sense of style identity, and that you shouldn't like and enjoy more than a small selection of style and colors, to build and emphasise on that 'designer' character of yours. But that's not the case, is it? And how liberating the realisation is! I definitely relate to more than one style, and my preference on colors changes with the season, but instead of making me a fickle person, I believe they are helping to create an even more interesting and deeper sense of personal expression - yay!
And why am I telling you all these? Reason being, when I came across this house styled by
Elisa Ossino Studio, my first reaction was '
Wow!', followed by '
hmmm, maybe it's a little too light and cold?', and then I was thinking '
but it could be a good thing some times, to strip back a little, pare it down and enjoy the peaceful quietness of a space?' and then, '
who's gonna clean all those glass? I'm not!' - haha, welcome to my head - that's how things sound inside, sometimes, er, most of the time.
By looking at the images, I get the impression that this is not a very large home, hence the many glass partitions, pale walls and floors, to draw light into the space and allow them to bounce off the whites. And I think, for this particular home, all those glass and whiteness works well to complement and support not only scales and dimensions, but also the quirky collections of the occupant. Those skeletal cubes on display and that Harry Bertoia Diamond chair in the corner of the living area - these little details echoes the lightness of the concept.
The minimalist spaces and transparent walls also allow play with some dramatic pieces, like the large chandelier over the dining table, and the marbles in the bathroom. The accents of wooden furniture and natural fibres spotted here and there adds that touch of warmth, at the same time holding a contrasting interest to the glass, straight lines and hard edges.
While I know this won't be a space for just anyone, I am still delighted by the entire composition, and I hope you've enjoyed the little tour too!
Have a good day!
