Black walls and styling perfection

This is the kind of space I wish I could pull off, its so retrained and has such great impact.  I would never be to edit to this pared back level.  But perhaps I can take some notes from the styling of the altar table against the black wall which I think is just perfection.

Don't you love...Moody & masculine monochrome

Moody masculine monochrome energy, this post is for the Voice of Reason who has always dreamed of the industrial inner city loft.  I do love this look, the textures, the contrast, nothing that a lovely bunch of flowers wouldn't be able to soften to my taste.

 I want a jelde lamp like this one above (via Artilleret).  One of those things I noticed recently and now can't stop thinking about.

There is that lamp again. (via Gifts of Life)

And to go with the loft the Voice of Reason would have this country bolt hole.  Imagine the parties you could have here! (photo by Richard Powers)

Moody bathroom inspirations

Unusual cabinetry which reminds me of the east.

Like the band of wood at the top and bottom of the mirror, and the rustic lanterns.

Love the way the large tiles are laid (via Elle Decor)

And the rest of the apartment is amazing too.

Black and white contrast in the kitchen

I love how the colour contrast makes the spaces sing.

Jessica Helgerson brilliant as usual.
