There are so many amazing fabrics out there it’s hard to decide how exactly you want your bed dressed every day.  Do you choose a fun and colorful fabric for your headboard and keep the bedding on the simpler side?  Or do you keep the headboard simple and solid so you can mix and match with your bedding and easily swap it out when you need a change?  This is a battle that a lot of my clients have until one day they make the decision to just go with what they love.  Which way would you go?

This bold and colorful headboard is that of Michelle Adams from Lonny Magazine and I think it was a great choice!

The shape can sometimes speak for itself so the simpler the fabric, the better

While the headboard has some flare, this room is still very soothing

It’s almost like a puzzle piece

A whole lot of bold thrown in one bedroom for the daring

Contemporary Sideboard: Mistral with Curved Doors, by Carpanelli

Contemporary Sideboard: Mistral with Curved Doors, by Carpanelli

This contemporary sideboard from Carpanelli has it all: curves, quality and pizzazz. The Mistral piece of cabinetry is instantly recognizable for its shapely silhouette – a certain centerpiece in any room – formed from sheets of rich wood and accented in ornate inlays of fine walnut burl and metal, complemented by chrome-plated knobs and feet. Apart from its shape, the artful woodwork is another of its stand-out features, and one of the Italian company’s signatures. Behind its undulating natural-finish doors, this sideboard boasts plenty of storage space, adding function into the mix. The Mistral is available in dark and light woods, in two sizes – 198x53x61h and 283x53x61h. More information is available by visiting Carpanelli.

Got a problem? Need some help? Just standing there shaking your head? Don’t know what to do? You’re not alone. Send us a link to photos of your design quandary and let the Desire to Inspire design crew help you …. that’s you lot … the readers! This week’s problem comes from Donnet who lives in South Africa.

Design Crew

So my boyfriend and I are wanting to make a little dead-space/old bedroom in our house into a home-office. We live in an awesome loft apartment, and it has one really unusual feature – a curved, corrugated roof. This makes it a little difficult fitting things into the mezzanine level. We want to keep the space simple and clutter-free as our mezzanine level is all open plan and our bedroom and 2 bathrooms are up there too.

Design CrewDesign Crew

About the space:
-The space is triangular in shape and approximately 3m along the window wall x 2.5m wide down the roof side.
-It has a beautiful curved window with an awesome view that lets it a lot of light. (If we could come up with some sort of blind system for this window we would be killing 2 birds with 1 stone!)
-One of our bathrooms is right next to the space
-We would need to fit 2 work stations in the space
-There is only one corner with wall space

We would love to get some outside perspective on the space.
