THESE FOUR WALLS:: The Elegant Abode

Whenever I look through the pages of interior design magazines or view decorated spaces online, I not only look at how an interior space is decorated but I also get inspired by ideas that I see in those images. Ariana Villalta and Ali Vanderpool of The Elegant Abode creates sophisticated settings and accents a space that define smart and stylish living.

Don’t have a coat closet or mudroom? Placing a wicker basket under a hallway console table for easy access to your shoes is a great way to keep them organized and readily available.

Bar carts may be the current trend but creating and styling an inviting area for a home bar by housing your cocktail items in a cabinet gives you more storage and space to decorate. By displaying a tray with stemware, decanters and your favorite liquor bottles on top of your cabinet, makes this easily identifiable to your guests.

Have a small living space? No problem. I like how the wall is utilized here to create a space saving way to display your bar essentials. The chalkboard frame is a perfect way to to post your ‘drink specials’ or phrases often used to toast.

Channel your inner Hollywood starlet with a chic makeup vanity. A mirrored table or desk, a lavish wingback chair and a fluffy shag rug completes the look for this stylish vanity space.
