There are homes that you can view online, via a magazine, or in person, and appreciate their beauty.  Then there are homes that speak to you, to your idea of a home you could love and live in.  Designer Joy Tribout has a style that appeals to me.  I’ve selected some of my favorite rooms from her portfolio.

Her use of black and white is stunning, never cold, Joy manages to keep a certain liveable warmth to each space.  The rooms I’m sharing today are from two separate homes but just happen to feature a black and white color palette.

The black trim on the window is a favorite touch in this mostly white room.

Her design point of view is a simple one, but often challenging for many of us novice decorators.  Tribout believes “…one’s home environment should elevate living on a daily basis…”  It’s something that we all try to accomplish—making our homes inviting and comfortable.

My fondness of equine touches in a living space is part of what attracted me to this particular home in her portfolio.  {I must have raced horses in another lifetime!} 🙂
She recently launched her own line of furnishings, the Joy Tribout Home Collection.

Her signature pillow design features an ‘X’. The pillow above has been adorned with a broach or some metal adornment.

The bed below features another of her pillows with the X.
