Make a dramatic statement with artwork in your home by utilising the full wall space for maximum impact and hanging a mix of different size graphic prints and frames from a similar colour palate. Project your personality on the wall with blow-up prints and canvases of your family, favourite pets, musicians or idols. For an edgy and super-stylish look position large frames along the floor to draw the eye up and balance the overall scheme. #thedesignbug #design #designblog #irishblog #interiorsinspo #interiordesign #walldecoration #frame #frames #prints #art #black #white #grey #sofa #crate #upcycle #kurtcobain #marilynmonroe #chanel #candles #love #passion

Lovin the plate installation here against the dark black walls! Such a simple and budget friendly idea but done so beautifully and creates plenty of drama in the space with its scale #thedesignbug #design #design #interiordesign #inspiration #diningroom #diningtable #dining #black #love #panelling #chandelier #walldecor #walldecoration #plates #candles #interiorsinspo

Looking to add some glamour & designer chic to your space? Hang some framed black and white prints stretching the full length of your wall from ceiling to floor and play with different print sizes. For extra glamour bring in some gold and some beautiful iconic ladies #thedesignbug #design #interiordesign #homeimprovement #designblog #interiorsinspo #interiorstyling #frames #prints #monochrome #style #gold #icon #lady #love #instagood

Dont forget your ceilings when planning the design of your space particularly for childrens rooms and nurseries. I love how the black ceiling here is a modern and fun take on the star constellations and with the large robot decal makes this room a super cool hangout for lil ones #thedesignbug #design #interiordesign #irishblog #irishblogger #designblog #interiorsinspo #ceilings #stars #animals #robot #decal #bedroom #playroom #black #lighting #dog #giraffe #peacock #kangeroo #rug #love #instagood

Ooh what a cool space! Slick monochrome with pops of colour and pattern but the star of the show is the art and that gorgeous contrast of blue & gold 👌 Image: J Ingerstedt #thedesignbug #design #interiordesign #interiorinspo #interiorblog #irishblog #designblog #irishblogger #living-room #chevron #art #blue #gold #yellow #green #monochrome #coffeetable #sofa #doll #cushions #love #instagood #contemporary

Lovely colour palate & texture in this room - Cool colours in soft muted shades with the tan leather armchair bringing in some warmth. But wow, I really love the two ottomans and how they bring texture and coordinate with the stunning light fitting. 🙌 #thedesignbug #design #interiordesign #interiorsblog #interiorsinspo #bookshelf #grey #blue #ottoman #armchair #lighting #glass #tan #books #accessories #ladder #irishblog #irishblogger #designblog #love

Sweet Dreams! Such a simple idea but I really love the lil hut with its roof & window built around the bed in this kiddie scandi-styled bedroom. So cute! Would look even cosier at night with the lighting! #thedesignbug #design #interiordesign #interiorsinspo #bedroom #monochrome #irishblog #irishblogger #interiorsblog #scandi #colour #yellow #children #lighting #hut #bed #wallpaper #fox #sweetdreams #love #instagood

Love this modern kitchen! If you would like to bring some drama into your kitchen you could use some beautiful wallpaper like this Trifid wallpaper from Osbourne & Little and cover with a glass splashback for an ultra modern and glamorous look. A perfect backdrop here for that feature copper pendant and neutral coloured sleek units! #thedesignbug #design #interiordesign #interiorsinspo #irishblogger #irishblog #designblog #kitchen #copper #backsplash #wallpaper #contemporary #modern #glamour #osborneandlittle #trifid #love
