Opulent East Interior....

Design has its own quirky way of inspired people from different culture of the country at the same place. Such is my visiting to the Accent Hadiprana booth at Design.Id exhibition 2011 in JHCC Senayan. Sammy Hendramianto the head designer and the man behind the Accent booth concept. A young, determined, and skillful interior designer with years of experience working his way up from the bottom in many projects in Indonesia before finally settling in with Accent Hadripana.He sucessefuly made me proud that Indonesian designer has their own natural sense of opulent style base on local culture inspiration.

Dining room

The booth effectively presented an elegant living concept. The interior on the other hand present Indonesia-Asian modern classic interior with open space, textured wall, dimmed lighting, and earth populated color pallete. Such a delicate establishment details is blend prefectly with the selection of silver acessories for the dining room, I feel like entering Thai castle in the setting of classic movie Anna & King movie, but hey, let's just keep an eye on the interior instead. 

Bedroom

Not stopping at the dinning room, the luxury feel continues to show with his creation in the Bedroom area. Built in bed frame, three story gold bedside table and  gold brass hangging lamp above create the majesty ambience for the room. Lime green, gold, brass, purple and wood colour dacquise all in one color scheme. I couldn't ask for a better color tone. 

Was once again amazed with the circular jumbo size ornament in each center of the room. It made all the other ornament I've ever seen before into design review portfolio seems nothing compare to this circular wall accent ideas. I enjoyed the classic natural mix of Asian style in the livingroom, between the pale silk green sofa, the Oriental wood arm chairs, and the red Batik carpets textured. Splendid. 

The hangging tropical plant on the other hand look very special, I could barely taste the tropical courtyard in the living room. The Suculent plant prefectyly like I expected, fresh, and give the outdoor texture I'm looking for to compliment the Asian feel livingroom.

As usual, Accent knows what they're doing and where they're going for creating luxurius Asian interior. It is for me one of the top option of splurging my eyes with good interior more and more.

That means, I can influence people with colors, and I can give direction with the brand, how people using their paint in the real ways, which is exactly why I'm so pumped to share with you lot of creative wall painting ideas.

Yes, it is no longer miss match colorful neon lights for interior, you sholud use it in the right room, playing with three different colors at the same room, and simple wall accent with paints. 

Earthy bright colours

Floral Temptation...

The outrageously uncommon floral patch that you rarely found anywhere else. Weird and somewhat pleasing your eyes from the the first time you see it. Yes, the Meadowsweet Collection from Anthropologie captured the adventurous texture in me. I was really intrigued on how they could pull it off together. Plus, this could be a good twist to serve the food and drink in fun and stylish way.

Floral chic soiree...

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like the way traditional China pattern of how they presenteded, I just feel like this collection I sugessted are enough reason to invest your eyes for such artsy porcelen pieces, give it a try before you regret it or you would have to wait until the next cute collection coming. 

From far left : Bounching Tea Pot, Meadowsweet Salad Pallete, Meadowsweet Mug,  Homeground Monogram Mug, and Meadowseet Bowl.

My advice, buy one or two of it, but make sure have them in a pair. Make it your smart entertaining investment at home. Especially if you've been bored having the same thing over and over again, this could be an eureka moment for you.

Striking Venues....

Every designer must have dreamed about it, at least once in their life to have a feel of creating the interior scenes who presenting their inner thought, in the story board with all the mess, creation, imagination and have no obligation to please anyone but him self. Only his ideas and imagination. It just so happen, that I had a chance to invited my humble designer friend, Ary Juwono, as one of my magazine contributor for creating 4 amazing interior setting for Livingetc Indonesia magazine. 

First impression when arrived at the photo shoot location in Gudang Gambar Antasari, is colorful in many sections, remain unfinished in some, and worn out in others. For me, it generates a 'feel' that brings out colour inspiration for creative work I've seen several photoshoots taken and some more art gallery ambiance held here. 

For the mains shoot, I've heard a lot of how Ary techicaly genius for twisting the Chinoseries way with touch of eclectic, proven...I feel like in Asian Shabby Chic world there! The combination of classic silver sofa with the red Chinese Trunk and the bright blue wall, it had my choice on it right away. 

A quick ten minutes after, voila! Ary comes with the so called interior fashion showcase. Served as the patio corner room, just the way a fashion designer should preferred it. By 'should' I meant I have no problem having it in any other way, but love the look, well done, I can still imagine enjoying my sunny afternoon there. But for next time, again I owe it to informed Ary the setting for the magazine should look functional, the way it 'should' be.

On the bedroom setting area, the mood was very soft, smooth for the eyes. It is look different from the other. It was a bit version of Safari and Pernakan look which is usually raw, thick and less airy. The bedroom was not filled in formal way, it was more like a filling whipped cream in to coffe, instead using busy texture, Ary use some more feminin floral accent at the bed sheet, and the wall screen. The Mink Fur decoration on top the bed complete the whole setting as the fine finale.

Residential Glamour Mood Board

Ever felt that tension, that inexplicable urge to share when you had something good? :) Despite of the ever-increasing number of interior review that I did in my magazine, Livingetc Indonesia and this blog, it has become quite a rare occasion to be in the exact excitement and joyfulness as I had in my professional interior design project.

I'm working on an interior project in Bintaro and just want to share the mood board ideas with you. My client asked me to design her headboard and side table in her main bedroom, kids room, shoes cabinet and also wardrobe under the stair area. 

The owner had very unique personality. This young mother of two loves the Hollywood-style interior with mirror accents, textures and velvet, the point is 'Midas Look', Maximalist to the Max. Interior wise, it tries to resemble the feel of a Hollywood Hotel with a classic touch. So I try to represented the glamor ideas with very rich pattern, gold scheme color and a lot of padded wall accents.

What strike my attention at first was when she asked me to create mirror shoes cabinet. Will placed strategically in the heart of the living room, so I have to create something stood out with it's glamour facade, and of course with the expensive look texture. 

Somewhere along this glamours point, I was reminded that a kids bedroom have to feel like a kids room. So I had special design made for her by mixture pink pallete with little princess touch. And there goes another velvet fabric of padded wall and chairs for a pretty happy mind. 

By the end of the design, I was so full with a maximalist style. I even had three type of gold and velvet for the fabric. You can feel the glamours home taste so amazingly different from the casual ones.

Pop Scandinavian

It's the moment of truth. One prefect iconic item and the rest is set. It is a calming type of Scandinavian furniture, with much excitement colours going around. A not safe version of contemporer interior I would say. This is my another interior styling for my magazine Livingetc Indonesia, and it was actually quite enjoyable styling moment, especially when you do the interior shoot in the biggest Interior showroom in town. I had a chance to create something fun in Ideko showroom in Surabaya. The replica Scandi furniture option never been delightly sinful and here are the preview. 

Livingroom area

What's interesting about Scandinavian interior that it consist of an array of shape, each with their specific function. Also, the way they design it procedure of elegance, good design and comfort. Like the living room setting above. Pair of grey sofa with two armchair in soft gray and purple, was able to create the happy feel inside the room. The gold brass purple standing lamp and bench table I put among them, lead us with the correct vibe of the comfort living.

Dining room

The most interesting part for me was creating a casual dining room for young family. I put the big wood table in black colour between three different style of dining chairs. Two pair of white working chairs, two grey dining chair, and two soft gray arm chair. The eclectic touch in the dining room create relaxed and fun feeling for eating. It was a very good mix of pairing casual and comfort. 

Bedroom

Mini me foyer

Among the four I must say the Scandinavian style is my favorite. Not only because the good design factor behind it, but also the functional size that present a good design between the comfort of the contemporary and happy colors of the furniture.
