(lighthearted thread)
Does anyone else ever despair at online inspiration photo's of interiors?
I'm about to move into a new flat, so been looking online for ideas and tips to save space, etc. Ikea really good for this, but have stumbled into a world hitherto unknown to me - instagram famous decor bloggers!
WTF?
So right now I am tired of seeing endless images of the SAME:
*Flokati rug, the one in cream with black diamond design.
*Y-back chairs.
*Sectional sofas regardless whether they fit in the room or not.
*Massive expanses of artfully designed desk space in vast sized rooms that appear to never get used.
*Geo shaped lamp shades or those Scandinavian style exposed filament bulbs hanging everywhere, even ten in one row over a small table.
*Homes that are so large it boggles the mind. I searched for inspo for small apartments and what came up? Tons of images claiming to be small spaces which were actually football pitch sized with ceilings as high as a warehouse (don't forget those exposed pipes!)......one tiny mid-century sideboard in middle of this wast expanse looking lonely and uncomfortable.
God why is everything trend driven so damn soulless?
Ok I like white, and I love the Soderhamn sofa, but I need to wind my neck back in and ponder some reality.
