The 10 Most Liked Instagram Posts From August
There are a few clear themes running through Livingetc's most popular Instagram posts this month: the month of August has been all about striking hallways, moody living rooms, Crittall doors and windows, sculptural furniture and velvet textures.
From bold blue hallways to grey and inky blue living rooms, and from wow-factor wallpaper in cloakrooms to the sexy curves of the furniture in this stunning living room,these are the top pictures that have inspired you this past month.
1. BRIGHT HALLWAY
Why mess with things when you’ve got great bone structure to start with? This home's hallway proves that some things are best when kept strong and simple.The encaustic floor tiles are original (try Original Style for similar) but the band of F&B Blue Black paint below the dado adds modern interest and leads the eye up the stairs.
