We love pop art too - love your home!!

I could live in here! Looks like you have IKEA there as well as other finds mixed in.

Love this! Nice to see a fellow Brisbanite on the site.

I love the artwork & seating area and of course the book shelves... I love energized room :)

I love the colors.

I loveeeee this room! And please please tell me that art work behind the couch is DIY and you'll do a tutorial!

Thank you for the lovely feedback so far. I'm afraid I didn't make the artwork behind the couch--that was a Freedom furniture find, along with the ottoman. Yes, there's also a fair bit of Ikea in the mix--you can't beat it for basics! Most of the accessories are either foreign finds or handmade: the bird pendant light I got from Denmark, the abacus lamp my mother brought back from Germany in the 1970s, the red desk was handmade by my grandfather--not sure when, but it's very old--my grandmother knitted the throw on the couch, and my mother made most of the cushions.

Amazing space, Caroline. Incredible use of colour.

Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ikea does dorm room??

This is a pretty great room. The blue ottoman with the red desk and the charming throw pillows (plus of course the large artwork) really make it come together. I like that you use accessories rather than wall color to make this space come to life.

This is the approach my husband and I are taking to decorating our house. We live in a rather rainy part of Canada, when we bought our house last year, we opened up lots of walls and painted them all white. Slowly but surely, we are starting to add the pops of colour. We both love your use of colour, and the artwork is great!
