House of M, Osaka City

The living and dining room has been coordinated with Blanc de Juillet's latest recommendations: "La Maison Nordique" and "Notre Monde."

The half-moon console and wall decorations create a beautiful focal point that elevates the interior. The beautiful lifestyle, meticulously designed with "new pleasures like decorating with flowers and candles," serves as the primary spice for the interior. The original chandelier and curtains tailored by a Portuguese brand are also very stylish. They were carefully selected in collaboration with owner Nakagawa.

A delightful tea time with handmade African baskets and placemats. The Mario Luca pitcher, a recent addition, has been highly praised as "truly excellent!" I'm impressed by the relaxed and sophisticated hospitality.

We also enjoyed delicious cute cakes. The refined French taste with a distinct lemon flavor is exquisite.

The Mario Luca coasters were subtly placed on the kitchen counter. Placed on a Notre Monde tray, they look like decorative objects.

In the living area, a sideboard from La Maison Nordique is used as a TV stand. Matching the dining area, the entire interior has a clean and unified look. The cube-patterned rug acts as an accent, making the room bright and stylish. The curtains have a large floral pattern, and the rug has a delicate pattern, so they complement each other without clashing. This adheres to the basic French pattern matching rule: [motif pattern x pattern].

Many cushions have been chosen, creating a wonderful coordination with the sheepskin. The owner is concerned that the sofa "doesn't quite fit anymore" with the Blanc de Juillet coordination. Since it's new, we recommend re-upholstering rather than replacing it.

A large basket for throws on the sofa. Every detail is beautiful. It evokes a sense of well-cared-for daily moments.

The floor lamp adds height and creates vertical expansion. It's a wonderful balance.

The Notre Monde side table is a fun, playful element in the interior. Anything placed on it looks stylish.

We also visited the bedroom. It's truly wonderful to have such a beautifully organized personal space. It's a captivating space where you can surely sleep soundly.

And, did you notice it in the photos of the living and dining room? There was a cat tree and cute cushions. In fact, there are two cats! They are hiding under the bed and haven't come out. There's no sign of them, but they seem to be under the bed.

The bedroom window is also an important spot. We tailored rich blue-gray velvet curtains in a modern grommet style. For the curtain box rail, we used thin cotton curtains. For the main velvet curtains, we didn't use a rail but installed a French curtain pole. Since this is where your gaze naturally falls when lying on the bed, they've created a serene corner around the curtains with wall decorations and a side table, making even a small window a focal point and enjoying the interior. With LED candles and Astier incense, it's a healing space. You're sure to get a good night's sleep.

The light and easy-to-use Toile de Jouy bedspread and cube-patterned cushions are yet another advanced "pattern x pattern" coordination.

The way the bedside light spreads is also beautiful. Indirect lighting creates a three-dimensional effect, giving the interior depth. The John Derian collection displayed on the wall also looks even more wonderful with the shadows.
