NY and Museums to visit

If you're looking to take a trip to New York any time soon, then I'd highly recommend taking a read of a book called: 111 Museums in New York by Wendy Lubovich. 

Visiting museums is a great source of inspiration when it comes to interior design influences.

Here's my top ten Museums to visit to help you make your sympathetic interior design style with a New York feel. 

1, 101 Spring Street- visual capsule of iconic sculptor; Donald Judd. It's a perfect time capsule of 1970s NY.
2, Bronx museum of the Arts- This museum reflects the diverse people who live there.
3, Brooklyn Art Library- floor to ceiling shelving of sketchbooks filled with design inspiration 
4, Brooklyn Historical Society- my favourite type of Museum to visit right in the midst of charming brownstone buildings. 
5, Coney Island Museum- Bright colours it's a people's playground 
6, The Met Breuer- Brauhaus Architecture 
7, Museum of Arts and Design- Housing an atmosphere of discovery 
8, Tenement Museum- tales of the American immigrants are brought to life 
9, United Nations Art Collection- One of the finest collections of fine art in the City
10, The Whitney Museum- American art with a 20th century & contemporary offering. 

I'd like to hear your thoughts when it comes to what NY influences you have been inspired by in your home interiors.

A Blog about Blogs

I started this blog back in February, and every week without fail I've shared a blog a week.  It was in the hope that other interior designers, students or home interior lovers found it of use and I thought it would be a great time coming up to the half year point to stop and reflect.  Reflect on what's working, what do you want to read more about or indeed, what I have yet to explore.  As a business owner or freelancer building a following can & does take time & effort and as Country Interior Design by MJ is coming up to our 6 month review it's poignant to pause and check in with ourselves & you the most important aspect as to why we are doing this.  We have been sharing content of inspiration on Facebook and Instagram from the start with a clear weekly schedule: Mondays  Devine or Decadence  Tuesday  History of interior design  Wednesday  Feb 26: Room of Ferial August 26: Shine a light Thursday  Colour Psychology  Frid...

This blog is how you could use your holiday as a way of inspiring your next interior design project & on our SM pages recently we had a focus on the Great British Holiday, go take a look at Country Interior Design by MJ Facebook & Instagram accounts to learn more. Each Seaside area of the UK, gives a different feel, be it Blackpool, whereby the bright lights and the Pleasure Beach dominates or right down to the most Southernly tip of Cornwall, whereby a more subtle, relaxed vibe is encapsulated?  I've been working on an interior design project for my portfolio and I read a great book: The English Seaside by Peter Williams. It's a great source of inspiration for a Seaside Interior design style. Whether your looking for a Retro Seaside makeover from yesteryear or you want to recreate your wonderful holiday memories in your home, in a more subtle way? The landscape of a typical resort has changed immensely over the years, however some things remain and can help you with va...
