Ellen Pompeos chic Hollywood home Get the celebrity style and home decor

March 01, 2013/ Katrina Guzman

We may admire celebrities on-screen in character but we often idolize their style off-screen as well. Decorating a home certainly requires some inspiration and the Hollywood scene is not short of celebrity home décor looks to admire. Ellen Pompeo, better known as Meredith Grey from ABC’s star drama Grey’s Anatomy, resides in a home influenced by a little bit of everything – including Tuscan, Spanish and Moroccan flair throughout the home, indoors and out! Take a peek at her home and see how you can get the same look at Belfort Furniture.

Trend Update: Birds

October 22, 2012/ Claire B

"Birds of a feather flock together" and that certainly is true this season. Birds are everywhere from accent pillows, bedding, accessories, lamps and even custom draperies. Nature has always served as a great inspiration for interior design. You will see this trend linger into spring of 2013. Coincidentally, "nesting" tables are also a top pick for interior design this year, too.

Eclectic Chic, 101

September 26, 2012/ Claire B

"Eclectic Chic"…what does that mean? The word "eclectic" is used in interior design to describe a room that does not match. The furniture and accessories may come from different genres. The pieces and accessories do not look like they were purchased to go together. They look as if they have been gathered or collected over time. But somehow, everything comes together to create a finished look. In some rooms it is as if the pieces tell a story…a very unique and personal glimpse of the owner.

Fall into color...

September 14, 2012/ Claire B

Wouldn't you like this look for your living room? The Bernhardt sofa and blue patterned accent bench work so well with the blue walls and accent pieces in this living room. The blues contrast with the gorgeous hard wood floors for a finished designer look. The color blue, particularly Olympian Blue, is showing up everywhere in interior design for fall. It exudes a cool, calm serenity that reminds us of the water.

Feeling the blues...

August 13, 2012/ Claire B

Blue is everywhere. Even the White House has a blue room. There are so many shades of blue and it's such a beautiful, beloved color. It is cool, patriotic, nautical, soothing, serene, classic, sad, even happy. It represents wisdom, trust and loyalty. After the 911 attacks in the United States, blue became immediately popular as the country united and pulled together.
