Home Decor Idea: The Black Monochrome Paintings

Ok, so you might not be able to afford a huge art installation like Allan McCollum's 384 Plaster Surrogates cluster of black monochrome paintings which Reed Krakoff proudly shows off on his living room's wall. But you can still create a similar, budget-friendly art installation by purchasing pieces of black, high-quality paper and cheap frames of various sizes and colours, like Ikea's Ribba frames. All you'll need to do is put the paper in the frame, take a hammer and start creating your own piece of art!

Autumn hues and summer shapes and cuts (see the tank-top and the pants) are a smart choice for your office outfits for this period; just add the jacket if you feel cold and remove it if you feel warm.

Ivanka Trump's East Side Apartment

Ivanka Trump's Manhattan apartment is nothing like I thought it would be. Instead of huge spaces and ostentatious decor style, Ivanka has gone for a modern-with-a-retro-twist style and for vivid colours and her husband had a lot to do with it. “Being traditional and feminine, I wanted luxury and glamour,” Trump says, “while Jared gravitates toward the modern, which can be austere.” Ultimately, the woman who grew up in the famous marble palaces of her parents, Donald and Ivana Trump, agreed that sleeker is better. And with the help of their decorator, Kelly Behun, the couple created a "modern warm" where "kids can live happily" and Ivanka's husband can "put his feet on the table or lie on the sofa watching TV and not be worried. Nothing should be so precious that you can’t use it.” You can see the rest of the house by visiting Elle Decor's website!
