Nothing cheers me up on a Monday like a good #shel Nothing cheers me up on a Monday like a good #shelfie ✨ We found a new temporary place for our glass étagères while the library/flex room renos continue. With the lockdown now lifted- we are back at work 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 ✨ We don’t plan on keeping these glass shelves, and will be to selling them soon. Ottawa folks- if you are interested, send me a DM! ✨ In the meantime, tell me how you like to style your shelves? Shall I share my shelfie decor tips with you all? Let me know below! • • • • • • #shelves #homedecor #interiordesign #shelvesdesign #interior #shelf #ottawahomedecor #ottawainteriordesign #bashbyseema #bangladeshicanadian #ottawamuslims #ottawabloggers #shareyourdecorwithme #sharetheeverymom #sharetheeverygirl #BIPOCdesigner #mondayvibes #mixerofstyles #stellarspaces #under5k #hyggehome
Do you know what your design personality is? ✨ O Do you know what your design personality is? ✨ One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced while taking design courses and working with friends/family, is putting together a cohesive look that works for everyone! ✨ Throughout this journey I’ve learned that my own decor & design aesthetic has evolved. The funny thing is, depending on what room I’m designing and it’s intended function, my style changes! I’m an eclectic mess 🤯 ✨ Lately I’ve been drawn to Transitional Design, blending the old with the new to allow for modern + traditional design to live together. ✨ Transitional design includes elements from both traditional and contemporary decor to create cohesive mix of style and comfort. ✨ Transitional Design: ✨ 1. Create balance in your space by mixing textures, metals and upholstery for a timeless design. 2. Soft colour palettes create a calm and inviting space. 3. Use subtle pattern for a sophisticated look. Transitional design is very forgiving and allows you to experiment until it feels just right. ✨ Tell me, do you find these tips useful? • • • • • #apartmenttherapy #ottawadecorator #homedecor #inmydomaine #ottawahomedecor #ottawainteriordesign #mixandmatchfurniture #transitionaldesign #ottawahome #showmeyourstyled #mixerofstyles #bashabyseema #interiordesign #doityourself #hyggehome #currenthomeview #featuremydecor #interior4inspo #simplystyleyourhome #onetofollow #stellarspaces #showoffyourdecorstyle #interiordesignstyle #smmakelifebeautiful #under5k
Hello February 🤍 the sun is shining here in Ott Hello February 🤍 the sun is shining here in Ottawa today and it’s the beginning of a new week and a new month. ✨ Time to reset, realign and course correct if things went sideways last month. ✨ I’m trying really hard to keep my chin up and think positive and focus on all that is good, but I won’t lie- I’m feeling discouraged and frustrated. ✨ My house is a mess with incomplete projects and it’s driving me crazy 😜 ✨ The washer/dryer was delivered over the weekend, and sadly we had some installation issues...so now we wait another week. At least we can finish with tiling and wallpaper, so that’s something good. ✨ Flex room/ library...well yeah...no developments to share there either. Waiting patiently for my back orders and for the lockdown to be lifted in 10 days. ✨ Today I’m sharing a pic for our Handira blanket hanging in my stairwell. We picked up this piece in Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦 one of my favourite travel finds to date ♥️ ✨ Tell me how your day is going? • • • • • #apartmenttherapy #ottawadecorator #homedecor #ottawaliving #ottawahomedecor #ottawainteriordesign #thetraveltag #handira #thevisualcollective #ottawahome #dametraveler #bashabyseema #visitmorocco #internationaldecorstyle #canadiancreatives #hyggehome #traveltheworld #featuremydecor #cardelhomes #simplystyleyourhome #onetofollow #canadianhomecollective #showoffyourdecorstyle #igersottawa #under5k #design
Anyone else relate? ✨ I’m itching to hop on a Anyone else relate? ✨ I’m itching to hop on a ✈️ and take off! ✨ BUT-I know that can’t happen. ✨ Asef @asr075 and I talked about planning a trip from A-Z so when it’s safe to travel we’d be prepared. It would give us something to look forward to. ✨ For #flashbackfriday I’m sharing a 📸 from our trip to Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹 ✨ Porto = Architecture + Design. ✨ The famous Azujelos of Portugal. These hand painted tiles that ornate beautiful historical landmarks and homes throughout Portugal are truly a thing of beauty. ✨ Blue paint on white tiles assembled to form symmetrical patterns, sometime influenced by Persian mosaics. These are more than just tiles, they tell a rich story of the history of Portugal. ✨ This 18th century baroque church is entirely covered by Azujelos and it is a beauty. I made the boys go back to this Church three times because every time we went the window was open. I wanted at least ONE pic that was perfect. Sharing one of my faves with all of you. ✨ Happy Friday! • • • #apartmenttherapy #ottawadecorator #homedecor #travelpassport #ottawahomedecor #ottawainteriordesign #thetraveltag #bedroomdecor #thevisualcollective #azujelos #dametraveler #bashabyseema #visitportugal #girlpowertravel #canadiancreatives #hyggehome #traveltheworld #featuremydecor #interior4inspo #simplystyleyourhome #onetofollow #stellarspaces #showoffyourdecorstyle #igersottawa #architechture #design
Are you for or against the open shelving trend in Are you for or against the open shelving trend in kitchen/dining spaces? ✨ There are some very strong opinions about this trend which has been around for awhile now. ✨ Our main floor is open concept with a large bump out from the kitchen to the breakfast nook - which we use as a dining room. We’ve added open shelving to allow an aesthetically pleasing transition from the kitchen to the dining space. ✨ This is an easy way to inject modern elements to your home and allow this space to showcase personality than wall-to-wall monotone cabinets. ✨ What do you think? Are you for or against open shelving? • • • • • #apartmenttherapy #ottawadecorator #homedecor #kitchenopenshelving #ottawahomedecor #ottawainteriordesign #ottawamom #ottawadesigners #cozyhomedecor #mixerofstyles #bashabyseema #canadianstyle #howyouhome #ontarioblogger #hyggehome #currenthomeview #featuremydecor #interiordesigntips #simplystyleyourhome #onetofollow #diversifyourfeed #showoffyourdecorstyle #lifestyleblogger #ottawakitches #ontariomom

Happy Monday! I haven’t introduced myself on he Happy Monday! I haven’t introduced myself on here for awhile so I thought I would do that again. ✨ There are so many new faces on here, so a big warm HELLO to all of you! ✨ My name is Seema and I’m the voice behind the brand Basha by Seema - Lifestyle & Interiors, and this is my personal portrait of everyday life. ✨ As a second generation Canadian of Bangladeshi heritage, I wanted to ensure my brand is a representation of who I am, hence the name Basha by Seema. ✨ “BASHA” [ /bah - shah/ ] means home or residence in Bengali. I am a firm believer that your home should be a blueprint of your life. ✨ I’m an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Advsior by day and I love every minute of it! I’m also an Interior Designer in training by night. I’m slowly building my portfolio, taking on projects here and there. I am so grateful to have been able to enroll in a program all while working full time. ✨ I hope to eventually set up an online decor shoppe where I can share my globally sourced ethically made textiles. I have a basement full of product ready to go! Just need to execute a plan to make it all happen. ✨ I am also married to a very supportive partner @asr075 who has pushed me to pursue my creative side. I’m also a mom to our special edition BiG Z who also makes frequent appearances on here. ✨ We love to travel and go on adventures, spend time watching movies and of course there’s basketball. Some how ball has become a big part of my life...well I’m just here for the ride. LOL! ✨ Now it’s your turn! I’d love to get to know you better, comment below and come say hello. Tell me something about yourself and where you are from. It’s always so much fun learning new things about each other. • • • • • #apartmenttherapy #ottawadecorator #homedecor #inmydomaine #ottawahomedecor #ottawainteriordesign #ottawamom #mondaymood #cozyhomedecor #mixerofstyles #bashabyseema #canadianstyle #howyouhome #ontarioblogger #hyggehome #currenthomeview #featuremydecor #interior4inspo #simplystyleyourhome #onetofollow #diversifyourfeed #showoffyourdecorstyle #lifestyleblogger #smmakelifebeautiful #ontariomom
