A touch of the unexpected is the key to creating striking interiors. No matter how small or plain a particular corner of the home may appear, the eclectic addition of furnishings and accessories from a range of periods, in various textures and colors, can instantly turn the space delightful. Leave it to Alexa Chung to show us how it's done.
The model and television host has gained international notoriety for her effortless blend of preppy and rock and roll style, and the same can be said of her home. We caught a glimpse into a cozy corner of her London flat in a recent Instagram picture. Rather than resigning to a white wall, Alexa filled the space with an antique mahogany dresser, which she styled with a green lamp and chrome bookends. Colorful books (including one of my favorites, Jennifer Egan's A Visit From The Goon Squad) define the space and bring in a splash of texture.
