20 Gorgeous Rooms That Inspired Us This Year
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not above ogling, whether it’s over a killer pair of heels, a gorgeous piece of luggage, or some truly kickass tile work.
And this year, I’ve done my fair share of making a fuss over that one perfect bedroom, kitchen, or living room that is designed just so—in a way that’s not only beautiful to look at, but fits your day-to-day living needs. This is as much an ode to the raw spaces that I’ll probably never have (oh, hey, vaulted ceiling) as it is for the interior designers and bloggers who just know when to fill a space with a gallery wall or leave it stark.
And though my style veers towards vintage and opulent with a tinge of Scandinavian minimalism (I’m still trying to figure that one out), I love looking at other styles, from Boho to midcentury, to find clever new ways to decorate. Because after all, your personal home style is as much an extension of your personality as it is the things that inspire it.
And now without further ado, 20 of the prettiest rooms we’ve seen this year.
Inspiration to play with not only size, but texture and patterns.

This room perfectly plays with height (the mirror) and depth (the "can nap on it all afternoon" leather sofa).
