Luisa Olazábal
Posted on Tue, 21 Jun 2011 by KiM
Occasionally I like to blog a designer/stylist/photographer whose style leaves me a bit out of my comfort zone. Luisa Olazábal is an interior designer from Madrid, and her portfolio filled with beautiful spaces does just that. They are classic with a contemporary flair, sophisticated and refined with soothing, muted colour palettes.

Way too monocromatic for me. I couldn't stand to live in places so devoid of colour.

Thanks so much for posting these! I really enjoyed looking at and assessing these images. Because I'm not enamoured of the monochromatic colour schemes, I was able to concentrate on furniture placement. The images also enabled me to really think about what I would like/need in the vignettes to make them more to my taste. Sometimes I learn more from what I don't like than what I do…

Picture 9 is beautiful. A happy contrast with the wood and leather adding warmth and cozyness to the more stark adjoining space.

Boy, can we say uptight? Feels like if you put a coffee cup down anywhere in this place Luisa would dart out and slap you.
Ale says:
Wow, I love it. Some of those rooms would be like walking into a black & white movie!

I think the space is beautiful. I love the black and white with a slight touch of colour here and there…

I agree – the first images, especially, are just too grey and sad for me. I love grey – it's a beautiful tone, but not so much when it's taken over an entire space with little to contrast it.
– agata.

Wow! I'm in love with picture nr. 9!!! Those huge heavy-looking black lamps. Such a great contrast to the almost invisible Starck's. Would a lamp like that fit well in my own kitchen? Take a look – http://ereszke.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/details-from-my-kitchen/
Cheers,
