Quick! Someone, Give Me a Hand!

Alex from FreshHome has me dreaming of less saturated interiors today. Just look at these dreamy spaces by French design Firm Hand. I just love the endless sea of offwhite. But the real kicker to the living room is how lowslung everything is. The furnishings are so low to the ground that you immediately feel a sense of height in the room. There are no obstructions to conversation.

But really? For me this room is begging for a lazy rainy day, a good book and a nap. Am I alone on this one? That long sofa is just asking me to rearrange the pillows, turn off my ringer, grab Elle Decor and fall into a deep, lazy slumber. I wonder if that's what the designers at Hand had in mind?

What the beautiful people are saying...

I am with you!! These photos are fab!!!

I love the 'less saturated' term! It's so nice to live without clutter. These images are really fresh!

I agree, Ronda. I just love finding new designers... well, new to me. ;)

"Paris" - fresh indeed. hey, nice to see you!

Just the gorgeous carpet in the last room is enough to make me feel the same way you feel. These images are so tranquil and cozy.

The space is so light and airy, I just want to curl up and relax in the room. Love the photos.

ahhh, yes. the RUG! makes me want to run freshly pedicured feet on it's (presumably) soft fibers. *ahhh* I just love a wonderfully plush area rug.

Something to say, gorgeous?
