A great blog I found recently showing this design style is Belgian Pearls, a Belgian designer with her family company of Lefevre Interiors comments on all her favourites in the design world. The images are beautiful!
One of the design trends of 2011 according to many magazines, design shows and designers themselves is "Belgian Modern" which I would describe as relaxed elegance. It is luxurious but in a more simplified way, distressed and unfinished wood, stone floors, a neutral palette, using whites, beige and grey. Furniture that is slip covered, using natural materials like linen. Even though it becomes wrinkled and disheveled it still creates an elegant look, no shocking colours or contrasts, just a calming, peaceful space. These rooms have little furniture, no clutter just simple, necessary pieces put together to create an elegant feel. One store in North America that does this style well and has done for a while is Restoration Hardware. Any home can add something in this popular style, whether it's a neutral paint colour, linen cushions or drapery, reclaimed or distressed wood, your home should always reflect your style but it can be fun to change it up once in a while (or more often if you are ME!) and follow some of the new trends even in a small way....
