UK Photographer James Merrells portfolio is absolutely delightful! The image above is so simple, colorful, and composed just perfectly. It really makes you stop and observe each individual element in the photo don’t you think? And I love the light roses and pinks paired along with the yellow/mustards!

The shades of blues and olive greens in the rooms below are so soft and elegant. and I love that sofa with the baby blue, teal, and olive pillows and eggplant. The chair works quite well with such a formal design, and the same goes with the hint of eggplant in the bedroom in the top right hand corner.

While the first composition below is not quite my style, I think that pop of red of the milk carton up against the grey/blues, browns & tans, and black is perfect!

Simply perfect! The bedroom & parlor/living room below gives the essence of Marie Antoinette don’t you think? I love the way the lighting just softens and brightens the rooms…it really is eye candy! And once again the compositions in the rest of the photos are so sweet and simple…very much telling a story in many ways. Bravo to James for having such a stunning photography portfolio!

I love these rooms taken by UK Photographer Carolyn Barber. They all look so colorful, fresh and inviting, & I would give anything to be lounging in such a magical and charming back yard like the one below as I sip on warm chamomile tea and spiced ginger bread!

One day I imagine that I will have a bungalow style home with an open floor plan and a lovely mix of cool, rich, and earthy colors. My kitchen would be grand, not in size, but in personality and I would fill it with homemade goodness and decadent aromas, but until then all I can do is post pretty photos of the things that I love. The photographs of Photographer Lisa Cohen reminds me of my dream home and the food that would accompany it! As you all know I find great inspiration in those who photograph a home. Trying to capture the essence of your home in a photograph can be challenging at times. I feel that interior photographers especially make the rooms come alive.

It is always inspirational to find rooms to be inspired by as we flip through our design magazines and scroll along blog rolls and devour in a healthy dose of design, but what inspires me the most, and what really brings the decorative elements alive is the photography. It is not such a simple task to capture the essence and personality of a room, while keeping in mind the lighting, shadows, mid tones, cropping, and such. So I always like to browse the portfolios of interior stylists and photographers to find inspiration in lighting and placement. This brings me to these images taken by PhotographerGemma Comas. I love the essence of these rooms, especially the bedroom with the high white tufted headboard! I think she did a great job at capturing the beauty as well as the elements that makes these rooms so lovely! Oh, and I love the second photo with the painted white floor boards! It’s such a great balance of classic..modern, and rustic style!

Imedagoze was so kind to share these photos of her trip she took to Malang, Indonesia a few years ago. The architectural elements alone makes me want to go visit here wouldn’t you say! If you have not checked out Imedagoze flickr sets of all the fabulous travel destinations that she has been to, then be sure to head on over and be inspired by lovely photography! Thanks for allowing me to share these pics on JuBella Imedagoze!

Brooklyn based Photographer Melanie Acevedo’s Interior & Lifestyle portfolio is quite lovely. I am sure many of you may recognize her work from editorials, including Elle Decor, Real Simple, and Domino spreads. That white canopy bed is so fantastic and the deep turquoise in that kitchen is divine…I heart turquoise of all shades!

Alicia Bock takes some of the most beautiful and dreamy photographs. I love the photos of the ferris wheels. Her Etsy shop is filled with lovely imagery and are quite affordable!

I am absolutely in love with the work of Food Stylist and Photographer Beatrice Peltre. Her way of styling food is is a true art form, and I was instantly engaged by her use of color. Her award winning blog La Tartine Gourmande, is filled with some of the most delightful photos of food, her travels abroad, and of course recipes that are all cataloged into tasty categories. She also has a wonderful amazon store that carries some of her favorite culinary reads. If you love food, photography, and traveling as I do, then you might find yourself browsing her blog and website for hours.

Beatrice has officially inspired me to become an Artist within the kitchen. I can honestly feel her passion for food and photography within every picture and that sort of love for something just makes me happy and I commend Beatrice for bringing such beauty to something that is most commonly taken for granted throughout our days. What if we all created art within the kitchen and shared our photos with the world to be enthused by! Thank you Beatrice for being such a creative inspiration!

Here are our top 5 picks from her blog, but to be quite honest every one of her posts are impeccable, and you will just have to taste the goodness of it all by visiting your blog and website yourself:
