BARCELONA TRAVEL GUIDE

FOR ART & DESIGN

Barcelona is both a beach destination and urban center, making it what we would describe as a chic beach city. It has the art, design, good food of any European city, but a thriving beach life, too. This spot was a very welcome surprise– We loved it. Here is our Barcelona Travel Guide for Art & Design.

After 3 years, a passion project of mine is finally coming to fruition! I can’t wait to share the details soon…. It focuses on serenity, peace, and filling your home with things that make you joyful. Life asks so much from us— so our spaces should allow us to reflect, slow down, and relax. For me, that means natural light, room to move, meaningful objects, people that I love, and a sense that everything has a place. Serenity doesn’t mean a home has to be perfect or empty, it just means that it brings you a sense of calm. Good interior design is to a space what meditation is to the mind. 🤍 What makes your home feel peaceful?

How to make a bedroom cozy, neutral, minimal, but also interesting? Layers and textures. Here at the beautiful RH Newport Beach, stylists have expertly used a shimmering chandelier, reeded wood furniture, textural ceramics, and gold-gilded painting to add visual interest to a calm room. Add soft bedding, stacks of cushy pillows and one long lumbar pillow in a contrasting color, it is the perfect place to begin and end each day. My favorite part of the room is the dramatic mirror that reflects more light into the space… What’s your favorite thing about it? Follow @brendaburdettedesign and save this post for more serene interiors, refined minimalist design, and art/architecture from around the world. My link in bio has a lot of great design tips, travel guides, and artist bios, too!
