Garden style

This week I think I'm gonna try and squeeze in a few hours to focus on my suite - a few rooms have had a little neglect the past few months and I want to remedy that! What I wanted to share today are two aspects of a room that I'm super happy with how it's turned out. This is in one of the floors of the Millionaire Mansion suite addition - I bought this way back when it was released and I was really quite stumped as to what to do with those rooms until the past few months!

Both parts have a standard concrete style floor - I tried the wooden DIY ones but they were being glitched every time, so I didn't have too much choice, but I like this one. And I did what I regard as a 'classic me' and stuck with a white base! I've also included some tiling, something I've continued in a few rooms throughout my suite. The windows and doors were great to open up the room a little deeper and make use of the original mansion backdrop so that was a must for me!

Both aspects have shelving with a selection of decor pieces on them, and this is a style I really love with the placing of a range of frames or ornaments. I love testing out various pictures and styles for different rooms as you can often come across some different or unique pairings which look awesome! Other than what's on the shelves, I do have two other focal pictures in each of the above images - both are very bright and really catch your attention.

Furniture wise I try and stay pretty minimal and made use of what I had in storage for both of these scenes. I love the furry chair, and the golden arms and legs tie it together nicely with the gold in the pictures on the shelf as well as the small animal ornaments I've picked out for the corner of the room.

Both these scenes do seem a little empty and I may have a re-arrange or add some more things to help make them look a little more complete, but for the moment I'm happy with my stylings of these!

Let me know what you think in the comments and if you have any room decor suggestions for me =D

Golden tones

It took me a while to decide what to post about this week, but I figured most would be writing about their latest SubCouture purchases and so I decided to go for something totally different and give another insight into one of my newer suite rooms^ *Please note, where possible I have linked the items I've mentioned so you can get them straight to your plaza to get a look at!*

So I really loved this interior - it's from the latest Furry Friends store and costs 32SD's, maybe a little pricey for an interior, but I think it's a pretty stylish one at that! I've gone for a pretty minimal furnishing of my room. I started out by knowing I wanted to use these two cushions - the Impressionist Pillow and the Silver Sparkle Cushion. So for me from that, I was really feeling a gold theme throughout which helped me choose smaller details like the Golden Frames. These are great additions which cost just 50SC and have been available on the site for over 5 years, sometimes looking back right through the decor catalogue or your storage can pay off! I included the little side furnishings to help fill the space and made use of the Twisted Leg Armchair, which I relocated when I was doing up another room. I think it definitely helps to fill the space in an un-overbearing way - sometimes you can get carried away adding a lot and it overcrowds, but I like a good space to be able to show off what you're wearing too! I've also gotten into plants a LOT and so had to include multiple of them here^ The Bright Modern Bouquet was perfect for the job with it's yellow tinted flowers, as was the Living Room Cactus with it's golden casing and interesting design.

So what do you guys think of this one? I know the back wall seems a little empty - maybe you have an idea you could share in the comments! I love hearing what you think and getting feedback xx

Styling in the rain

I've gotten into interior design on Stardoll a lot more lately, I think I'm just seeing so much more inspiration around the site and seeing what others have done with minimal style makes me push myself to produce something similar for my own suite! I also feel there's a lot of pressure to look good all round now, not just clothing and beauty, the suite really matters too^

I've been spending some time in my beach villa suite, and although this is only the start, I'm happy for my doll to live in it like it is! I've put a focus on artwork really, choosing both a StarDesign piece (it's by StarMYCLA, her prints like this triangular one are awesome, I have some elsewhere in my suite too!) and the the Museum Mile FlyingNose Painting. I also liked contrasting them, having the painting quite large and balanced on the floor and then the print framed and on a shelf - that triangle shape was begging for these geometric vases to pair with, they are both from Minimalism one being in coins and the other being only 5SD's. With my seating I stuck with themed colours from the darkened sky and the white stone room, cushions helped make it a little more comfortable looking and these ones have a lovely blue tone to them. That totally ties in with the metal work of the opposite chair. And finally plants - I had to go and add loads, didn't I?! There's a whole mix, but I liked the combination of the two brown ones on the left, plus they went well with the woodwork I've added in front. Then there's greenery in the tall PPQ plant on the right, which is pretty much a feature on it's own, but I gave it a little decor for company - it's from Fallen Angel, and I really like it so I'm surprised I hadn't seen it before!

So how do you guys feel about interior decorating? I'm assuming most of us prefer styling our dolls over our suites, but I think this is something I'm totally on the bandwagon for^^ Comment below with your thoughts and all =D xx
