I’m re-learning how to use Photoshop, so excuse the imperfection of my inspiration board.
I love the idea of an inspiration board. It’s a gathering of inspirational images–colors, shapes, fabrics, textures–that I can take with me when shopping or researching. It’s such a great reference when I’m getting overwhelmed with what’s out there. When I get drawn into a fabulous fuschia fabric, I can easily see that no, that’s not the look we’re going for. . . . This time.
Unfortunately I can’t remember where I got a lot of these images specifically. I know a bunch came from House Beautiful. If you’re curious about the Belgian style, they’re a nice reference. Just do a search on their site. This style came from Axel Vervoordt, who I’m in the process of learning more about. All I know at this point is that I’m a fan. I think my current addiction to linen is his fault. Lots of linen, neutrals, natural textures, art in simplicity… There’s also a sense of history to his work. And an overall sense of calm. I like it.
