Eclectic at Trump Tower

Finally we catch a glimpse of a Trump Tower apartment that is not governed by the color gold! It is 5 star luury at its very best and up on the highest peak of this building you will literally be living amid the clouds and the stars!

Now this is a truly beautiful home with delicate and ornate pieces. The decor is French Style meets boho chic with more chairs than you can throw a stick at. A marvellous and opulent home,  let’s take a look inside!

The lounge room, check out the view! I wouldn’t be able to decide where to sit first or what to admire first. There is so much going on and although it is cluttered it is still inviting.

Gypsy Styled Chic

From Maison Cote Est (Nov issue 2008) I though I would add this beautiful editorial featuring Gypsy Chic ( or boho chic, modern bohemian etc). This style is highly personal and very reflective of a persons personality. Combining all colors and styles, different patterns and textures, everything at once, complete harmony amid chaos!

Ever wondered what is would be like to live in a chic and colorful gypsy trailer? well now you can find out!

17th Century Spain Decor

Here we take a look at the Veronica Etro family home in the island of Ibiza. This is a wonderful old Spanish style home with gorgeous period pieces from the 17th Century Spain. White walls, exposed beams in a dark brown, highly ornate chairs, mirrors and light fittings.

Modern Art Apartment

This is the apartment of psychiatrist and socialite Samantha Boardman. Lot’s of color, modern art, and suprising hijinks wherever you look! This is a very cool home that is just as arty as the art that resides within it!

The long hallway from the front door leads into the dining room and is lined with Andy Warhol’s portraits of drag queens.

In the dining room, blue velvet Marc Newson chairs circle the table, and a glass-enclosed biosphere by artist Paula Hayes functions as the centerpiece. On the left wall hangs a William de Kooning painting, flanked by two Richard Prince paintings.

The library is very exciting along with man books you will see a plesiosaur skeleton that the Boardman’s bought at Bonham’s auction house hangs from the ceiling, along with an oversize chandelier found in a store in Palm Beach.

Nestled in the bookshelves in the library are penguin dioramas from John Norwood Antiques and skulls sculpted by Damien Hirst (silver) and Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof (pink).

The home study with its black walls and red desk. Pieces of note: On the mantel, there are glass flowers by artist Alessandro Pianon, and the fire-red lips hanging above are the work of artist Tom Wesselmann.

The ceiling in the more formal living room had to be reinforced to support the weight of the Jeff Koons dog hanging from the ceiling. To the right of the couch hangs a vibrant Cy Twombly painting.

Bedrooms with Red Walls

There is no other color like the color red for maximum impact appeal! The color red appears to advance towards you while making all other colors in the room retreat.

Everyone’s idea of red in their minds eye is different as expressed in the following quote:

If one says “Red” – the name of a colour – and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.

By Josef Albers

And now for some red walled bedroom inspiration!

Pull one statement-making color out of a bedspread fabric for the wall color to get an unforgettable look. Here, candy-apple-red walls are bold and in control. For eye-catching artwork, paint empty picture frames white and place them on the wall above the bedframe. The white pops against the red, adding interesting contrast to the walls.

Red Baroque bedroom with walls painted in a bold Craig & Rose shade are offset with chunky French-style carved pine furniture and a gold mirror to make a strong statement in this bedroom. Light-coloured decorative curtains, carpet and bedding prevent the room from being too overbearing.

A bedroom has been transformed into a cosy haven with rich ruby red walls and a matching throw and cushions. A striking palm-leaf cushion gives the room a modern feel. Pretty candles and brass accessories, like the lamp, complete the warm and inviting look.

In this Oriental-inspired bedroom one wall is painted in bold red, which adds depth to this neutral scheme. Pale wooden furniture blends into the caramel-coloured walls and carefully placed accessories and the orchid bed linen from Next completes the look.

All that’s old is new again when spruced up with color and the appropriate comforts. This dark Gustavian-tyle bed from Viva Terra Here is made from reclaimed fir and is an ideal compliment to Benjamin Moore’s Vibrant Blush, a rich stain on the surrounding walls. Blue and white bedding soften the room, and stitched throw pillows add a handcrafted feel.
