If I Were a Room, I Would Wear Red...and Purple, and Blue, and Orange...

How would you "dress" if you were a room? Would it reflect the way you dress in real-life? Or, would it express a different part of your personality? I tend to veer toward subdued colors, solids, and minimal accessories for day-to-day dressing. But, I LOVE dramatic colors, exotic patterns, kitschy and eclectic accessories, and odd, surprising details in my rooms. I have been gathering decorating inspiration for a while, so I thought I would share a few. If I were a room, I would dress something like this:



[My favorite -- Very Victorian]


[I like the Moroccan influence here]


[The collection of low-hung, antique silhouettes is so unexpected]



[Feels like Mexico...Frida would approve]


[So kitschy! love the 40's vintage feel]


[WOW!]


[The giant framed wallpaper is so fun and whimsical]



[Dark purple -- gutsy with the stark white; very gothic-Lolita]



[My favorite colors -- seafoam greens, blues and cherry red]


[I love the idea of a library and dining room in one]



[The stripes and the dark, antique-y pictures remind me of a cabinet of curiosity]



[Brown velvet with bright stripes? why not?]



[This is actually Coco Chanel's Paris home -- so wild!]



Somehow orange and black doesn't look like Halloween, but looks glamorous and cozy!



Like Alice in Wonderland on an Art Deco acid-trip.



A red bathroom is so sexy and unexpected!
