Inspiration: Fresh White
I'm loving this fresh snapshot from Domino (where else):
Because the furniture is all pure white and the color comes from accessories, it's easy to create what looks to be a whole new space by just swapping out the books and pillows.
To recreate the look, start with the white furniture. I like how slender the side table is above; here's a similar one from Wayfair (I would also spray paint--glossy pure white--a table if I found a good style in the wrong color!):
The sofa's straight lines keep the crazy pillows from getting too... crazy. Here's a goodie from abc home :
And here's a budget-friendly version from Ikea (with slipcover). A little white paint on those legs is all you need--or check out PrettyPegs for alternative furniture legs made for Ikea goods (why didn't I think of that??).
I've always loved this white coffee table from Hay (sold by abc home):
And the obligatory sheepskin OF COURSE:
A mounted wall light for reading (this one is from Restoration Hardware):
And now for the color! I think that huge Asian fan is a wonderful thing--and I think the black aspects of it (in the original photo above) really work to pull together the many black accents in the pillows, light, even from the books. Here's a vintage one I found on etsy:
... cherry red pillow from Target:
... and a black throw pillow from Overstock:
... add one of these catch-alls from Michele Varian:
... grab a few succulents from Homecoming (the coolest coffee shop/florist in Brooklyn) or at the local hardware store:
... and, finally, load on the coffee table books. Need help deciding? MyDomaine, One Kings Lane, and Remodelista are here for you :)
Voila!
