Villa.

New and Old.
I love love love these two Italian properties thought i would give you a passport for inspiration...enjoy

I love the way the tile detail creates a visual map of the space. With such high ceilings the space would feel vacant and the weight of the low couch would anchors the eye to bottom of the room. I amusing this same effect in a bathroom redo where the room is narrow but the ceiling is super high.

Using tiles as area rugs to define a space is great idea. Without disrupting the flow of space the colorful patterns create a movement to the space.

Then there is the Classic Italian style: a mix of rustic and regal, draping fabrics and Tuscan colors.

I love baskets hanging in a kitchen and the beautiful brick tiled floors are gorgeous

Notice the ceilings with the exposed beams and the heavy plaster on the walls...both of these design inspirations can be highlighted in different genres of interiors.

Enjoy...i did.
