Inspired by Nature

Often nature plays a huge role in the decoration of our home. I am not only talking about flowers and plants, but accessories, posters, details on cushions and bedsheets, prints on carpets, etc. I was searching the internet for some new ideas and I came across hundreds of lovely cushion inspired by nature. Let's see some of the best.

This ostrich faux feather cushion is available at Marks& Spencer for about 40$. This is one of my favorite, inspired by the Great Gatsby and the 20s this cushion is both cozy and stylish.

Here the feathers are only used as a detail on the cushion. Done in black and white by Bloomingville this cushion can be a very nice accessory to a white sofa.

This one is a bit more colorful and expressionistic. But I think it will very well fit a bit more eclectic living space. For the more bold ones I think it can perfectly fit a velvet peacock-blue sofa. I found this one on a website called Lovely Decor. The cushion is available in different sizes an the price is as high as $33.

This one is again with feathers but is more glamorous than the ostrich one. However, think twice before you purchase it because with the wrong furniture you will go from chick to tawdry. In my personal opinion this can fit very well on a contemporary white-leather sofa. I found in on Wallace Sacks Linens.

 I found this amazing rustic looking cushion that resembles the soft blue flecked feathers of the bird Kookaburra. The blue on the feathers of the bird are represented as a washed mixed blue print on the cushion. I personally adore this one! Found it on Etsy for about $70.

This also looks more natural and maybe the washed color prints are done on organic cotton or linen. 
However, those look a bit more eclectic than the the previous one. The blue prints resemble peacock feathers. I found those on Houzz for $46.


This one is very classy and fabulous- look how the feather pattern is entwined! One of my favorite for sure! This one is 100% cotton cushion cover that has been printed in Macclesfield and stitched in London. On the website this is one from a range of cushions inspired by quotes from English authors and poets.The quote here says:  'I am a feather for each wind that blows' from The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare.The price is £46.95

A Feel of Lost Romance and Hard Edge Urban Design by Ryan Korban



 I love a touch of vintage in design. It is a stylish way of making a glamorous place look more welcoming. The bold mixtures of vintage style with contemporary urban one and the combinations of different materials, textures, fabrics and styles are simply inspiring. And the person who inspires me further in this direction is Ryan Korban.

 His outstanding work and creativity has made him king of downtown N.Y.C.’s interior design. He manages to turn every place into a work of art but without losing the sense for comfort and inviting atmosphere. His touch reminds of a lost romance, of a dream that has never been fully dreamed.  The decorations have a feel of something old, but very attractive and inspirational. The sense of something lost and gone can be felt everywhere, from the fabric furniture to the very last detail. His elaborate and exquisite interior design decisions can captivate even the most meticulous eye.  Enjoy his works in classic & refined, vintage, and hard edge urban design.








 This bedroom designed by Ryan Korban reminds of a fairytale, but still is not too dreamy and girlish. The vintage touch combined with small contemporary metal lamps and glamorous light fixture on the ceiling is exactly this mixture of classic, old, and bold urban.

 To the objection of everyone Ryan extensively uses animal fur and without any doubt we can say that it works very well. It makes us reminisce for the old days and the old world. The room has this feel for the story of Snow White and the Hunter but translated into one more modern approach. But the words are meaningless when talking about his work so just enjoy it!
