The Box Inspiration

January 26, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: Uncategorized 3 Comments

Sometimes, your next design inspiration can come as a complete surprise. For me, it was at the supermarket. I was there today, picking up things I forgot (happens to me all the time), when I stumbled upon my next inspiration. I realized we needed tissues, because one of us always seems to have a cold in the winter. I found the cutest, most chic prints I’ve ever seen on a tissue box. (Good job, Kleenex!) I had to have these little boxes of inspiration, because I think a room could be designed around their beauty.

Aren’t they fun? It got me thinking- what would a space look like, inspired by these prints?So, my mind starting racing, thinking about how that room could come together. The space would have to be hip and definitely very chic. It would have to be contemporary, with a splash of traditional. It must be fun and not take itself too seriously. The space would feel whimsical, light and airy. The room would have comfortable elegance with pops of amazing color! So, until this space actually comes to fruition in my own home, I thought it would be fun to find amazing dwellings where these tissue boxes could thrive! Enjoy!

If you used these tissue boxes as inspiration, what would your space look like?

Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Head over to my blog (link in bio) to see what’s been going on with all things Amber B Design, including this bookcase beauty in the office of #ProjectClassicLiving #amberbdesign #coastalliving #myballardstyle
In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the li In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the living room. Now that the ladder has been relocated to the family room, this corner is definitely in need of some height. I almost went with the idea of a tree and while I love it in other homes, I just didn’t see it here. So I went on Pinterest in search of inspiration and @studiomcgee to the rescue! I love the idea of a pedestal with a vase and maybe some branches, instead of a tree. I can switch up the accessories on the pedestal and I think it’s the winner! Inspiration in the next slide. #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving
I have always liked to shop around my home, moving I have always liked to shop around my home, moving things to different rooms and making them feel like new accessories. It breathes new life into a space, even with subtle touches. I switched the living room and family room table lamps and I like the larger scale lamp in here! I have fun plans for the living room, which I’ll share soon. Happy Friday!! #amberbdesignathome #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #coastalliving
Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel lik Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel like the room is so bare. This year, we had it to the left of the television and I really feel like that space is now so empty. I tried the living room ladder in its place and I love it! But the living room needs it there too. What to do?! Maybe a tall plant in one of the spaces?! Two ladders within feet of each other?! 😂 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #SMmakelifebeautiful #loveyourhabitat #bhghome
