Craving Simplicity

Sometimes it is hard to know where to draw the line when designing or decorating. There's always your basic formulas for putting together any space, whether it be a living room, dining room, bedroom, whatever. More and more lately I find myself loving spaces for their 'undecorated' qualities. Take for example this lovely bedroom;


There is no fancy headboard, nightstands or lamps. There is no bench at the end of the bed, nor is their a rug to ground the space or curtains to add softness. No bedskirt, artwork or other unnecessary objects. Just a gorgeous wall color, basic bedding, a few simple decorative items and a inexpensive Ikea light fixture. Yet somehow it seems so perfect!

And speaking of 'undecorating'. . . this book is on my wishlist for anybody looking for something to buy me for my upcoming birthday :)
