Cool or Fool: Sensual Decor
This one may be shocking to some and a little inspiring to others. This is the kind of place Madonna could’ve filmed one of her raunchy music videos. I guess now Lady Gaga would be the one going — pardon the pun – gaga over this place. That said, there’s some outstanding pieces of furniture here, but when you combine them with all the other stuff (like black wallpaper and a swing in the middle of the place) it all becomes too much.
Now, I wonder what you think of all this originality. Do you think sensual decor is something you could feel inspired by or does it scare you a bit? Take a good look, there’s always something to discover in every single picture and then tell me… Is this sensual decor, Cool or Fool?
Mysterious
Wear your mask before you come in.
Hey, Sexy Lady
You’ll find pictures of women almost everywhere in this loft. Now, this is something you’d never find in my foyer.
Do You?
Do you kiss and tell?
Golden Walls
Whoa! Golden walls, pink pillows, pink cowhide, black ceiling, black chandelier and shutters.
More Whoa!
The black wallpaper and the swing.
The Swing
Swings are great and I have a blog friend that has it in her office and it looks amazing (Hello Lovely Inc, Lady!), but this one in the middle of the house is a bit too much for me.
Party
But again, maybe the owner just loves having parties here and this would be a fantastic place for that, I guess.
Pick One
Take a good look at this picture. Is there anything you’d like to see in your home?
My Choices
I like the mirror and the chair, but that chair would need a transformation. I’d like to see it white and with a fun fabric on it, less “gothic”.
Cowhide
The cowhide is fun. I can picture it in a white room to give it a splash of color.
Kisses
A corner filled with personality.
Take It Out
The swing can be taken out when not wanted.
Kitchen
A break from strong colors.
What’s Cooking?
I actually like this kitchen. Very sleek.
Obsession
Ok, this is a bit odd, even scary. Imagine you’re dating the owner of this place (be it a man or woman), you see all this decor around, the photos, the swing and then you ask to go the bathroom. You open the door and read: “Obsession”. That would scare me! It reminds me of chicks like Sharon Stone on “Basic Instinct”! Ha!
Sink
At least the sink is nice.
Pillow
The pillow says: “Girls only in this area”. The sad thing is, I still don’t know if this place is owned by a girl or a man!
Pieces
I see some interesting pieces of furniture in this place. For me, it’s a mix of beautiful and crazy.
How do You Like it?
Do you like baths in bedrooms or you find it a bit odd?
Charming
I love this part of the house. It’s beautiful.
Silver Views
A silver wall and a view of a church.
The first person to see my posts is usually my husband, and when I showed this to him, he said it wasn’t “over the top”. I really don’t know what would be over the top for him though. He seems to like everything non-traditional. We’re very opposite when it comes to decor, but we never fight over these things. We just laugh sometimes at each others tastes. Besides that, he asked me if this place was in Vegas. If you’re also wondering, the answer is no, this place is actually in London.
Can’t wait to know what you think of this place! Is it Cool or Fool?
Wishing you a very cool weekend!

* “Cool or Fool” happens every Friday. I’ve started this section where I post “different” and controversial things that I know some of you will love and others will not. The point is to tell us what you really think, regardless of anything. It’s a space where you speak your mind and analyze what you see. Have fun with it and laugh along the way!

I don’t know, I think just stepping into this place would be exhausting-I can’t imagine spending a considerable amount of time here.
I do like the idea of repurposing that chair–it would be adorable in white and a rainbow/candy stripe fabric. The view is amazing. Almost a shame its wasted on a less-than-beautiful interior.
I’m not loving this one! To each their own, but it’s not for me.
Have a great weekend Luciane.

Fool!
We know some people who have a parent with naked lady picture all over the house. Very tricky with what to tell the grandkids….
so many elements to love! chandeliers dripping with crystal. mirrors strung with oversized rosaries. cowhide rug in that killer shade of pink. super sexy leather swing. i want one of my friends to decorate their space like this and invite me over for parties. my teen children find my plain jane swing sensual enough so i would be booted out of here if i made such bold choices. love the freedom of expression and thrilled you linked me with this place!

I agree, it would be exhausting to live in a place with so much visually happening. I like the chandelier, the kitchen, but am not a fan of seeing anything bathroom in a bedroom. Some great pieces of furniture, though.
So, fool for me.
Have a great weekend.
It looks like a set for a big-budget “softcore” porn from the 80s! I agree with Claire Marie – exhausting.
I’m going to pass on this one, definitely not my taste. But, I guess if we all liked the same things, life would be boring! Enjoy your weekend!
Other than the second large gorgeous chandelier there is nothing for me in this London home. It really isn’t my style. Have a happy weekend!
Humm…for me its a fool. Way too much visual stimulation if you ask me, it would make me dizzy and my head spin all at the same time! But as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Has to be a fool for me, Luciane. Just too much of everything!! Hope all is well and that you have a wonderful weekend. xoxo
The kitchen appears to be the most sane room in the home. And how cool is the shape of the kitchen window with shutters (above the bullet-shaped trash can)? As you stated, there are many individual elements that I love including the traditional, clear crystal chandeliers; the large french mirror on the floor, the fancy easels, and the tub (but I don’t like it in the bedroom), the off-white hide rug, and the white trunk.
it’s not my kind of space but I find the b&w photographs cool. I love b&w photographs and here they hang not too high. I like them.
p.s.: Luciane, I’m off for a 2 week vacation in Monaco. “See” you in 14 days. Let me know about the name. Wishing you all the best. BIG hugs
I give them credit for originality but I could never relax in this home. There is just too much going on!

I love the ottoman in the room with the chair you call “gothic”.
The white kitchen amuses me – even the person who lives here needs a break from the chaos when they’re waking up hung over.
The house is owned by a friend of mine, who is a man. These photos don’t capture how amazing the house is! You would never guess what lies inside from the outside of it.
Hello Natasha.
So nice to “meet” you.
All I have to say is that your friend must be a really interesting and fun person. This place is one of those places that you see and never forget: sexy and full of personality.
Big hugs,
Luciane
