apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Maja's Color Intuition
Room for Color - International #3


thumbs up

Name: Maja
Location: Warsaw, Poland
Type of Home: attic apartment

Color Inspiration: I am a huge fun of colors. A time ago I decided to have colorful walls but afterwards I had changed my mind and now I have white walls with a lot of colorful furnitures and accessorieses (only some walls like this lime one in my bedroom - reception stayed colorful).

Give Maja a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

Lime and Others



Color Inspiration continued:I prefer colors, as I am cheerful person who loves free style of life much more than stylish, very serious interiors. That is why I have for example an old turquoise bench in my entryway. But today I would like to show my bedroom.

Colors Used: The lime wall - Beckers paint.



Color Tip: To use an intuition, if you have a good one.

I love it! The crocheted blanket is so homey and cosy and I adore that polka dot chair.

Wow! Very nice! The lime wall is totally unexpected, but it totally works in this space. Also adore your polka dot chair.

Proves my point that 80s country stuff will look fresh again someday. (And yes, I know, ugh on the 80s stuff).

That's not an insult to this room, btw! This IS cute and fresh.

You've taken components I would never look at twice, and put them together in a fresh and original way - I like it!

It's a pitty that the thums up voting has been closed for this apartment. The weekend was the worst time for voting - the most of people weren't on the computers...
Anyway, beautifull flat, I am impressed with the wardrobe, polka dotted chair and all the rest! Bravo!

I find the bedroom all over the place, does not really work, but more as if a few things were thrown here and there...if the white wall in the other half of the loft was painted in some colour as well, I think that would have presented a better representation of the "colour" contest.

But this mainly to be mine, not only to take part in a colour contest... :-) I like white walls so much :-)

I like how the owner used the Expedit units beneath the window/slope to give an almost built-in effect. The room looks very cozy!

I don't want to get political on here but it amazes how people forget how quickly Bush was portrayed media(#1 terrorist pic). But yet hypocrites are all up in arms when Obama is portrayed as a socialist which is much closer to the truth than the images portrayed here.
