I spotted a few new photos in the portfolio of Calgary interior designer Nyla Free since my last feature on her work a few years. Her spaces are bold and fun so I had to share, especially because I covet that closet at the end of this post. (Photos by Lori Andrews, Avenue Mag)










Dallas photographer Stephen Karlisch is responsible for nailing these photos of some eye-catching interiors. He even made a wacky room covered floor to ceiling in retro flowers look cool.















Such a simple space but the colours and brightness are just mesmerizing. A fantastic space photographed by Daniel Kelleghan.

Within the beautiful bones of a Victorian era Italianate house interior designer Brendan Wong has created a space that is elegant and sophisticated. Contemporary furnishings and art marry with the historic and the effect is exquisite. Luxe living.


















Sorry folks, I didn’t receive enough pets on furniture entries while I was away for a post today (you can send them to kim[@]desiretoinspire[.]net), but I do have a funky, modern 2 bedroom home that is for rent in London via Domus Nova. It is designed by architects Teatum + Teatum who believe in creating all of their properties to rent to make great architecture available to as many people as possible. By using simple and affordable materials that are available in local hardware outlets they are showing how we can make something special with a limited budget. In this home they made use of sterling board (otherwise known as OSB) which is readily available and inexpensive. That combined with concrete, metalwork and painted brick (I personally would have loved seeing more of the brick) makes for a very interesting textural eye candy.
