interior inspiration : sparse spaces.














With the new year comes new lists of resolutions. Frequently, this includes getting rid of excess clutter and unnecessary belongings. Even though I am quite sure I will never live in a minimalist home (I am too much of a collector), I still find inspiration and beauty in the look of uncluttered spaces. How about you? Do you prefer modern, rather empty homes, or would you rather see a place filled with large numbers of belongings?

  3. In my dreams I live in a place like this, but the reality is a lot smaller and a bit more cluttered.

  6. I like empty, but not cold. The pieces should be very personal and unique and handpicked and lots of texture and patina should warm up the place. These images are perfectly inspiriting!

  7. I used to think, who lives like that?! And then I met someone who does. It takes a great deal of strength & discipline in my opinion. For myself, I prefer a happy medium.

  8. Very very lovely!
    I appreciate the look of nice clean simple spaces but have a penchant for dust collectors. I too have contemplated the same resolution but i am failing miserably.

  9. Happy medium for me. Though a well-curated clutter is always beautiful.
