Quote of the Week

“Matchy-matchy is not for me. I don’t want things to be too perfect. It’s like pairing a matte top with a shiny skirt, so they play off each other. I want there to be relationships with texture and color, and sometimes it’s more about the contrast that chimes." 

— Fashion designer Peter Som

  2. I agree that matchy matchy isn't the best way to go. You never see a matched bedroom set in a photo of a room that makes you drool, for example. A mixture adds visual interest!

  6. Totally agreed, nothing worse than predictability! Rooms need to reflect persons personality , and be interesting.. Even when simple and monochromatic! Great posted pics!

  9. Agreed, though I suppose you could look at it in the way that if you have chosen a particular piece to "chime" with another, you have matched them. In certain cases, 2 things just do not belong together..but in these photos, it all works well! Very cool stuff
