It’s Monday, which means it’s time for a little inspiration! This week I am talking about the design of La La Lovely, which pretty much sums it up right there: it’s simply lovely. I came across Trina’s blog while on Moxee. Bre is a fellow blog designer and one of her posts was talking about her latest design, and I just knew that it would be perfect for a Design Inspiration post!
In case you couldn’t tell from some of my last few posts, I’m really into minimalist design right now. I am loving all the white space on this design and the thin border of muted color at the top of the blog. Also, we all know how much I love the texture of paint. I like how the paint is the focus in the header, but doesn’t sprawl out all over the page. I also love the color scheme- and make sure you click over to check out some of the details, like the hover effects on the category icons.
Another thing that I really appreciate about this design is the scale. Everything seems small and carefully placed, which I really admire, especially since right now it seems like there is a trend for sites that to be really wide and take up the whole screen. I like those too, but I feel like Bre really makes the narrower width work to her advantage by making the design seem more thoughtful, and helps readers to focus on the content of the post.
Definitely check out both Bre and Trina’s blogs- they are both full of inspiration! Happy Monday!
