The Brighter The Better – Lights Lights Lights

NiamhBarry

Today we’re focusing on another one of our favorite features: LIGHTS. Swinging from chandeliers, and holding up the walls with sexy sconces, lighting choice can completely transform a room. Take a look at some of the pieces we’re coveting this season.

     

These are just a few of our favs (clearly we’re obsessed with the Christopher Boots piece!). What are you all looking at this season? Where do you guys go for great lighting!? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Fabulous Florals!

Fabulous FloralsWith the first day of Spring only a few days away, we thought it’d be fun to put together a collage celebrating the season and all the floral fantasies it brings. Spring is easily one of our favorite seasons; the amazing weather and beautiful blooms are immediate boost in inspiration.

What are some of your floral fantasies? Let us know, and stay tuned for more Spring Inspired post!

Head Over Heels for Chaises!

Today we’ve got another installment of Interiors vs. Fashion, but this time we’re focusing on one of favorite furniture features – THE CHAISE!

One thing we love here at the RAD Blog is beautiful designs. One Kings Lane inspired us to find some amazing chaises and compare elements of each to some of the most fabulous shoes on our wish list this season.    We had a lot of fun with this post, and thank One Kings Lane for inspiring us! Let us know if you see anything that you love, or if you know of any chaises or shoes that we should add to the list!

Interiors vs. Fashion!

After the ending of NYFW, we’ve been inspired! We’ve found some of our favorite fashion looks, both couture and street-style, and compared them to some of our favorite interior designs, showing that beauty is not only translatable, but universal.

   

Beautiful designs are clearly interchangeable between the realms of fashion and interior design. Here, we’ve captured what we think is an excellent representation of that. Let us know what you think!

Marvelous Makeovers! – Jessie D. Miller’s One Room Challenge

Designers find inspiration everywhere, and more often than not, it is other designers’ work that moves us, and pushes us to greater heights of creativity. Lately, there is one designer who has wowed me beyond words – Jessie D. Miller.  Her makeover for the One Room Challenge in 2014 was absolutely stunning; her bold use of color, her great selection of art, everything epitomized fearlessness. Her own blog is aptly named Design Daredevil because she is daring and devilishly good at what she does.
