Noelle doesn’t like her hallway and wants our help.

“Here are a few photo’s of the room… The problem I have with it is that it’s narrow, high and white. All of it. I’ve been thinking of putting wallpaper (that is not my bedroom btw) on the walls and painting the door a different color. Problem is, I can’t seem to make up my mind. It’s a 1920’s house and the outside of the door can only be painted in 3 colors. I wanted to paint the staircase and all the railings white since I can’t remove all of the old paint and glue. I do want some color in there and I’m tired of the white. I’ve picked this wallpaper because it adds color without being to dark or bright. Thanks in advance and I can’t wait to hear what everyone has to say.”

So what do you think? Any great ideas? I know you want to jump in and help.

Just a little bit more from Peggy Bels. Including some of my favourites – a bit of Jieldé, and bit of linen, a bit of Panton. Yes!

French expat Peggy Bels is bringing Parisian chic style to Hong Kong with her classy, contemporary interiors. She creates drama and a modern edge with neutral shades of black, white and grey and often with a flat finish (love!). Simple spaces yet super chic.

Something about restaurant and retail design has been pulling me in lately. Inspiration can be found everywhere. It seems I’m still not over the recycled, chippy paint boards trend. The Crab Shack (New Zealand) by HBO+EMTB via the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.
