8 of the most inspiring windowsill desk ideas

post

Working in front of the window is great when you want to enjoy the view and also get some Vitamine D at the same time. When you create a windowsill desk and combine two functionalities into one, you will save space and sit as close to the window as possible while you work: the best of both worlds.

Below, you can find my favorite windowsill desk to get you inspired if you are looking to integrate a workspace into one of your home’s windowsills as well.

The white-painted vintage storage cabinet in this hallway is built right next to a window with white frames. The deep windowsill is turned into an impromptu home office area which is small, but perfect to check your emails.

The mint green chair stands out in front of the white floors and white elements and the fresh green plant found on the desk finishes the look off perfectly.

Combine storage space and a windowsill desk to get everything out of your small room

The windowsill for this walk-in closet is created by a beautiful desk with storage functionality that spreads from wall to wall. The area underneath the worktop is kept empty on the right side to allow a comfortable place to sit, while on the left side, you can find a combination of drawers and open shelving.

Use the space underneath the sloped roof to integrate a work desk

skylights typically don’t have a windowsill area and the sloped ceilings usually make it a bit more difficult to decorate the room, let alone integrate a home office.

This small attic room, however, has a custom solution with open shelving along the walls creating a long windowsill that goes over into a computer desk, and into a bookshelf by the other wall.

Optimize the space in front of a full-height window

Extra large windows let in an abundance of sunlight anyway, so you can opt to cover part of the area in front of the window by placing a chair and desk in front of it without having to change or obstruct the view too much.

By picking out a windowsill desk in the same color as the window frames, both of the elements blend into each other for a seamless effect.

Work around the window and the wall space

This long and narrow window is embedded into surrounding walls and provides a lovely view of the greenery outside. By aligning the custom desk to the walls, you can turn an otherwise lost area of the floorplan into a nice home office spot.

You can store all the things you need while working in the elegantly integrated drawers underneath the worktop, which is such an elegant idea.

An enlarged window sill turns into a spacious bedroom home office

In this cozy bedroom setting, a custom desk is attached to the window sill and fixated with brackets to the wall. Both the desk and the window sill are made out of light wood species, complementing the light color palette in the bedroom space.

Both the window and the windowsill are quite wide, allowing for long and narrow desk space to place your laptop and store away notebooks and other home office things. If you are working with an extra wide window, you could even install a longer desk, add another chair, and create a two-person desk in front of the window.

A simple pine wood windowsill paired with a stool

In a kitchen space with sage green walls, the area between the radiator and the window is used to install a wood panel resting on top of two white brackets. This surface is paired with a small stool and can be used as an in-promptu laptop spot.

A floating desk in front of a window with an angled wall

It was a perfect idea to turn the area in front of this bedroom window into a home office with a floating desk with a lot of space. The worktop is placed slightly lower than the original windowsill, allowing for a spot to place some books and plants in front of the window.

Rounded windows and a dusty blue bedroom in a cozy Swedish flat

post

This cozy Swedish apartment with rounded windows (Styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Maria Sahlander for Bjurfors) has a cozy and delicate decor that is finished off with lots of textiles and accessories.

The living room has a subtle light grey wall color, which is paired with a white textured area rug and a dark grey fabric sofa to add some contrast.

The white kitchen with a white subway tile backsplash is contrasted by a dark grey wall color that is especially apparent in the dining area with the vintage wooden chairs. The gorgeous round windows in the apartment are especially noticeable in the bedroom which has a beautiful faded blue wall color and a small home office section.

The white plank floors and white ceilings are complemented with a delicate light grey wall color that adds a bit more depth to the interior color palette. The white fluffy area rug complements the white floors, but makes it softer and adds a beautiful texture to the space.

17 dark green bedroom ideas for a fresh and moody effect

post

Darker wall colors in a bedroom can be quite a bold choice, however, dark green paint combines deep tones with the soothing and fresh element a green palette brings to the table resulting in a bold yet balanced interior palette.

You can style your dark green bedroom with contrasting lighter textiles, or pair your green walls with dark green curtains to lean into the darker, moody effect.

When you are thinking about adding a dark green bedroom to your own home, this post is for you. Below, you can find a list of the most inspiring dark green bedroom ideas that feature a variety of different dark green wall colors paired with different finishes in the textiles and soft furnishings.

A moody bedroom with dark green walls and warm beige tones

Let’s kick things off with the darkest of the green bedroom ideas on this list, shall we? The dark green bedroom walls contrast against the light architectural features of the space and add depth to the setting.

The beige and brown tones in the curtains, throw pillows and blanket make the room feel like a warm and cozy retreat at the same time, a balance perfectly achieved by the interior designer of this apartment.

A darker shade of olive green in a turn-of-the-century bedroom

The dark olive green walls in this bedroom enhance the interior design of the space and accentuate the ornate historic detailing in the room’s architecture. The elegant paint color on the wall is paired with a beige throw pillow mix, an off-white linen headboard, and a lovely texture on the beige blanket on the bed.

The subtle black and white art print and the simple black wall lights add a bit of contrast to the green bedroom design and the green branch on the bedside table brings out the fresh element the paint color adds.

A green bedroom color with yellow undertones paired with dark tones in the decor

The yellow undertones in this green paint have a warming effect on the design of the space, while also adding a fresh element to the interior. The black details on the bedside table, art prints, light fixtures, and textiles add a beautiful contrast to the setting and the white textiles add a lighter touch to the color palette.

A dark green-grey wall color paired with beige bedsheets in a rattan lamp

With walls this dark, you can almost compare it with a dark grey or black bedroom, however, the green tones add just a bit more sophistication to the setting. The green-grey wall paint in this bedroom contrasts nicely with the white-soaped hardwood flooring and with the white ceilings.

The grey curtains and the dark wall art above the bed enhance the darker tones in the room, while the beige bedding and the natural rattan pendant light create a natural decor balance in the bedroom interior.

White furniture and curtains stand out in a dark green bedroom

The white fabric curtains and the white sideboard stand out against the dark green paint color in this bedroom in a powerful way. The pink, brown, and orange tones in the artwork, bedding, and the cozy rug by the end of the bed create a warm and inviting setting and the green plants bring out the fresh undertones in the green paint.

An accent dark green bedroom wall behind the bed

Whether you want to paint your whole bedroom green or rather work with an accent wall, a dark green color will always make an impressive effect. In this cozy bedroom, a dark green accent wall is paired with white paint for a more modest effect.

The black lamps above the bed add a darker tone to the setting, while the fresh green plants bring out the green in the wall.

Green bedrooms created with a feature wall are a bit easier to try out for those of you who are unsure or change your mind easily about a new paint color.

A partial dark green color to separate a sleeping area in a studio apartment

In this studio apartment, a feature wall in a dark green tone separates the sleeping area from the rest of the small space. Painting a part of the space in a different color is a great way to divide a studio apartment and working with a darker shade makes this effect even better.

via Stadshem

A dramatic effect in a small bedroom

When you look for inspiration and advice on how to design a small room, you will usually get the recommendation to use lighter paint colors. A darker green color in a small bedroom like this one will have a unique effect especially because of the small surface, where the floor plan will enhance the dramatic effect of the color in the space.

A dark shade like this, however, can work in small rooms that get ample natural light. If you are working with a small and dark bedroom floor plan, it might be better to opt for a lighter shade.

The clean lines of this modern bedroom are accentuated by the gorgeous fresh dark green room color. The sheer dark grey curtains and the dark grey bedding pair nicely with the dark photograph above the bed.

A bed in between two walk-in closets in a historic dark green bedroom

This is my personal favorite of the dark green bedrooms on the list, as the deep dark green color on the wall in this dream home accentuates the ornate crown molding on the ceiling and the beautiful white historic doors that are located on either side of the bed in this green bedroom.

The deep green paint is paired with a mixture of light grey and beige bedding and an off-white area rug at the end of the bed. The black and white art print and the white pendant light seem to jump out of the background created by the dark green bedroom wall.

Green-grey on the walls and ceilings in this bedroom with an asymmetrical floor plan

This grey-green bedroom has wall paint on the walls, ceilings, crown molding, baseboards, and window frames, which has a very dramatic effect on the space. The uniform color balances out the many angles in the asymmetrical floor plan and makes the decor and furniture pieces stand out.

The beige upholstered headboard paired with the beige bedding and black office desk complement the green bedroom nicely and the green plant by the window brings out the green undertones in the wall paint in a nice way.

A monochromatic dark green bedroom where every surface is painted

The dark green paint color is used not only on the bedroom walls but also on the doors of the built-in wardrobe and on the wall shelving for an integrated effect in the space.

Against these dark green walls, the antique wood bedside table, beige upholstered headboard, and the antique books stand out in a powerful way.

A darker tone of sage-green and wood elements for a natural bedroom look

Sage green bedrooms are typically painted in a lighter shade, however, a darker sage green bedroom like the one on these bedroom walls can add more depth to the room.

This perfect color green on the walls is paired with pine wood bedside tables on the lower half of the walls and a custom shelf above the bed. These wood tones paired with the white and natural bedding and the darker hues in the accessories create a beautiful setting for this small bedroom design.

The deep dark green wall color in this moody master bedroom contrasts nicely with the white and beige textiles on and around the bed. The green plant on the windowsill adds a fresh touch to the palette, while the black wall lamps enhance the dark mood of the space.

The same color is used on the walls, ceilings, and wardrobe for a cohesive effect.

The dark moss wall color in this spacious bedroom adds a moody effect to the space and makes the beautiful rounded window stand out powerfully. The white ceiling and white bedding brighten the look a bit more, while neutral tones warm up the color palette.

A green-grey kitchen in a living space with a burned orange sofa

post

This small one-bedroom apartment in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Fredrik J Karlsson, for sale via Alvhem) has a beautiful living kitchen with a green-grey kitchen spreading over one of the walls, paired with a burned orange sofa that is a real focal point in the space with a subtle light grey paint color on the walls.

The sofa stands in the middle of the living space, also functioning as a separator between the living and dining area that is located right next to the window.

The small bedroom has an asymmetrical floor plan and a wardrobe that is painted in the same color as the walls for an integrated effect. The throw pillows on the bed pair nicely with the color of the sofa, tying the color palettes of the adjacent rooms together.

Dark green-grey kitchen cabinets with lots of storage space

When decorating a small space or studio apartment, it’s crucial to include enough storage space on a small surface. The kitchen in this living space makes use of tall ceilings with upper cabinets reaching high up where lesser-used items can be stored.

The dark green-grey kitchen cabinets add a lot of contrast to the interior with light grey walls. The white marble countertops and the white subway tile backsplash lighten up the color palette and the chrome hardware adds a modern touch to the setting.

While you often see floor plans where the sofa is placed against one of the living room walls, placing the sofa as a separator can be great when you want to create a visual difference between two functional areas.

The dining table with black dining chairs is placed parallel to the brown sofa and the window, allowing for two different areas in the living space.

This beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Bon Interior, photographed by Maria Sahlander, for sale via Bjurfors) has a spacious living kitchen with ornate crown molding on the ceiling and a gorgeous kitchen with light oak cabinets, and a dark marble backsplash. A kitchen island with lots of storage space separates the cooking area from the cozy kitchen dining table with white dining chairs.

The living room has dark grey walls for a unique, dramatic effect from which a colorful sofa and gallery wall stand out. A custom living room bookshelf is built around the living room door, which is painted in the same color as the walls for an integrated effect.

The spacious room with ornate detailing on the ceiling is filled with both a kitchen and a dining area. The kitchen with light oak cabinets is planned out against the back wall, paired with a kitchen island in the middle that contains storage drawers on each side and allows a bottom-heavy kitchen arrangement that looks lighter in the space.

The light oak cabinets are paired with a stainless steel countertop and a dark marble tile backsplash, which adds a modern and contrasting effect to the light wood tone. The space in between the two upper cabinets is filled with a floating shelf made out of the same dark marble material for displaying decor objects or spices.

The stainless steel on the countertop also comes back in the material finish on the Moccamaster coffee maker that fits the kitchen look perfectly.

The large kitchen island separates the cooking and dining areas from each other visually and stands proudly in the center of the large room. Other than the main kitchen module, the island is finished off with a butcher block countertop for a natural effect in the space.

On the other living room wall, a bookshelf is custom-built on top of the doorway and painted in the same color as the living room walls for an integrated effect in the space. It’s the perfect home library if you ask me.

Hexagon tile is available in a variety of materials, colors, and styles. Depending on the bathroom style you want to achieve, you can go for a bold or modest tile design. You can finish the tile with your choice of grout color and create a unique look in your bathroom design.

In this contrasting black-and-white space, a white subway tile wall is paired with a black hexagon tile bathroom floor. The black tone of the floor tiles also comes back in the window framing, the black vanity, and the black metal and glass shower door to strengthen the contrast even better.

The black hexagon tiles are finished with white grout to make their unique shape stand out even better in the interior. The white tiles on the wall, on the other hand, are finished with black grout.

White marble hexagon tiles paired with subway tile on the walls

In this contrasting bathroom, it’s the dark grey vanity, the black fixtures, and the black metal and glass shower door that take up all the attention. The combination of the white subway tile walls and the hexagon tile flooring forms the perfect elegant backdrop for these beautiful dark accents.

I love the way the glass shower wall separates the bathroom floor plan and draws attention to the tile combination in the shower.

Beige hexagon tile flooring in a farmhouse bathroom

The combination of neutral shades has a very calming effect in this modern farmhouse bathroom. Even though the color palette consists solely of whites and beiges, it’s the material combination that adds a unique effect to the style of the room.

The off-white vanity is paired with white marble counters, shiplap walls, and beige hexagon floor tiles with a dark brown trim. The hexagon tile design adds a playful effect to the bathroom interior and finishes off the look nicely.

Tiny hexagons in black and white for a classic look

The classic design of this bathroom features wainscoting on the walls, a freestanding tub, and an elegant green wallpaper design. The floor is finished with tiny hexagon tiles in black and white that form a beautiful pattern on the floor.

The ceramic sink rests on a vintage side table, which pairs elegantly against the dark green wallpaper, and the black and white hexagon tiles on the floor make the warm wood of the table stand out in a bold way.

Black accent floor tiles finish off a white bathroom design

The arrangement of the shower niches inside of the walls around the tub forms a great storage opportunity for soaps and other bottles. The white tub paired with the white subway tile used on the walls and inside the niche spots has a very bright effect in the trendy space, which is paired with modern chrome fixtures.

The black hexagon floor tiles add so much contrast to this trendy bathroom and I love that there is a small trim of black subway tile on the bottom of the tub to make the transition.

In this modern bathroom with a classic look, hexagon tiles have been applied to the walls instead of the floors like the previous examples on the list. The tile brings out the beautiful classic metal elements in the fixtures and merges with a simple white tile design when reaching the beige floor tile.

On both of the wall tiles, a black grout is used to make the hexagon shape even more apparent in the space.

How to pick the right size of hexagon tile for your bathroom

Hexagon tiles come in a variety of sizes, so how do you know which one is the perfect choice for your room? Smaller tile tends to look more busy, as it adds a lot of texture to your space. While this can have an amazing effect on a small surface, this might easily become too busy when applied on a large surface.

If you are afraid a hexagon pattern might be too much for your bathroom, you can always go for a smaller surface only to add an accent to a shower floor or create a small backsplash behind your bathroom sink.

What pairs well with hexagon tile?

Since hexagon tiles have such a pronounced texture and pattern, you can balance is out with natural materials like wood or concrete to create a more modest look. When pairing it with another pattern like a subway tile wall, you can achieve a bolder expression in your bathroom.

18 inspiring kitchens with beige kitchen cabinets

post

Beige kitchen cabinets are a great color option for those of you who want a bit more depth and character compared to selecting white cabinets. Beige is still a very safe choice in your kitchen design, however, and will give you a timeless design aesthetic without the risk of getting tired of it too soon.

Depending on the shade of beige you select for your kitchen design, you can achieve a neutral color palette in the space, or add a warm element in your kitchen. Know though that beige cabinets, in whichever shade or tone are quite easy to pair with a wide variety of different hardware, countertop, and backsplash materials.

In the list below, I have gathered my favorite beige kitchen designs that you can draw inspiration from for your remodel.

Beige shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances in a majestic kitchen design

This classic corner layout kitchen with shaker cabinets and a few glass cabinets on the top features elegant beige cabinets on the top and bottom.

The stainless steel appliances, subtle chrome hardware, and white marble countertops have a beautiful effect against the warm hardwood flooring and the vintage dining table.
