Atmosphere In A Room | Sharing A Soul

Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful time and that the new year awaits you with all the wonderful things you’ve been dreaming for.  I spent it as I wanted, surrounded by family and toasting with Moet to a new and fresh start.
I’ve been collecting images of rooms that for many reasons remind me of other rooms.  Done by different designers these rooms share a similar soul or atmosphere.  Many people think of candle lights and candle scent when they hear the word Atmosphere but it is far more complex than that.  Atmosphere or mood is the final ambience and feeling that is perceived in a room. Such things as room scale, flow, furniture weight (heavy, slick, rustic, refined),  color scheme, lighting and textiles are all elements that help create that specific mood in rooms.

Neutral tones that go from black to beige, lush rug, brass, velvet, mirror, antique fireplace mantel and just the right amount of natural light creates a very glamorous and romantic atmosphere.

Two canopy beds, both with some shimmer (glass, silver leaf), open side tables, and art wall/mirror create modern and airy take on tradition.

Fireplace as a focal point, height mounted curtains, upholstery furniture and a common layout.

These two rooms, above are different in layout but by sharing the same clarity in the rooms and the same color scheme they feel similar.

Global chic and a relaxed down to earth feeling are shared by these two rooms above.

The last two rooms above have a beachy intellectual atmosphere that is also relaxed.

    Hi Julie..what a fabulous collection of rooms, the perfect balance of elegance and warmth, they beckon you right in! I am in love with that fourth bedroom down, any idea whose it is? Would love to see more from where that came from! Wishing you a very happy 2012!

    I love that red velvet sofa, it's so beautiful and rich. Great post, I am all about atmosphere and changing it up. I am already thinking of changing my living room this spring!

    Happy New Year!
