What I Love About My Home


Our small apartment in Rome is full light, with a green terrace running all around it. We managed to combine a good mix between poppy colours and a vintage touch. We really love our mid-century scandinavian sideboard, the element that really tranformed our living room, and all the stickers that decorate the walls and the built-in closet doors.

Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home


Decorating these large white walls! We didn't want lots and lots of frames, so the challenge was to find alternative ways to put art on them. We chosed some stickers by Domestic, then some Ikea shelves and trousers hangers did the rest!

The wall decals are very cool! I always want to use them, but I get scared that it will look juvenile...That's definitely not the case here! It looks fun and lively.

Your decals are awesome, very different from the usual ones I've seen.

I'm in deep intense love with your couch, and your white living area chair. Of course, you are in Italy, just about everything there is nicely designed with good lines.
