The Lovely Side reader Savannah wrote in, "I think the outfit here is incredible and wonder what your decoration inspiration is from this. I think the baroque pattern and the sheer create a fun mix of vintage and modern, plus with the defined female curves."
I was psyched to see that the outfit Savannah was talking about is Nadia Aboulhosn's Sheer Gold: a black and metallic gold skirt featuring an ornate pattern and sheer overlay, a black tee, a black blazer, strappy black heels, and some wine-hued lipstick.
Nadia's a fashion blogger and model based out of NYC. I follow her on Instagram and I love her quirky posts, sassy attitude, and amazing sense of style. So of course I wanted to translate this outfit into a room. With its baroque design, rich color scheme, and modern elements, I thought it'd serve as perfect inspiration for a luxurious, city-inspired bedroom.
I started with the baroque pattern on her skirt. Where to put it?! It reminded me of a beige and black damask bedding set I have, so that's how I brought it in. Like the blazer's silhouette in Nadia's outfit, I chose a headboard that has structure and curves in all the right places. A curvy, metallic accent table serves as a nightstand – and nods to Nadia's hourglass shape.
I couldn't resist pulling in that wine shade of lipstick in a big way, so I did so with the curtains. Other accessories revolve around the black and gold/beige color scheme and a contrast between baroque vs. modern and structure vs. curves: a simple rug, a fancy magazine rack, a slightly industrial lamp, a glitzy pair of pillows. Also, the striped pillow picks up on Nadia's strappy heels just a bit. And since she's based in NYC, I pulled in New York City inspired artwork and a glittery little "Hello Gorgeous" print.
It's gothic. It's modern. It's bold. And best of all, it's feminine.
Would you want to come home to this sheer gold space?
