This cute little sewing room belongs to Tricia, who lives in San Fransisco.  Tricia is a fashion designer and artist and so it stands to reason that her decor style is an eclectic mix of modern, kitsch and handmade.  Since her teenage years, Tricia’s been an avid thift shopper, hence her ever-growing collection of interesting bits and bobs in her sewing room…

LOVE the vintage drawers

It may be small but everything is in order and to hand.  Ah, if only my sewing room was like this!!

We’re all fascinated by how others live, aren’t we? In fact, I’ll unashamedly admit that I’m likely to peek through your window as I’m walking past down the street, just to have a nosey!  Whether for design inspiration, info on where to buy that gorgeous flocked wallpaper you saw in next door’s living room or to make sure you’re “keeping up with the Jones’s”, we can’t help but find one another’s homes interesting!

I love everything about this bedroom- each piece really adds to the room, giving it character without becoming cluttered.

I’m absolutely loving San Francisco interior designer, Gary Spain’s, decor style.  Modern, colourful, eclectic and extravagent are words which spring to mind- it just goes to show what you can achieve when you think outside the box in terms of design and decor.

The rich yellow colour of the chairs and framed picture look stunning against the patterned wallpaper and wooden flooring.  These rooms may look ‘thrown together’ but in reality, a huge amount of thought has gone into every piece of furniture and its placing.

Against all odds, the mix of pattern, colour and texture really works in this room above!

This bathroom is to die for!!

I began with the intention of writing a blog on living room decor but this image deserves a post all of its own!  The high ceiling, old fireplace, beautiful large windows and pretty chandelier all scream ‘grandeur’, whilst the circular rug, colourful couch and quirky floor lamp add a modern twist.

I wonder if the feature wall surrounding the fireplace is made up of original tiles, or perhaps it is wallpaper?  The colour scheme has been carefully considered- notice how even the curtain lining has a hint of powder blue which ties-in with the rug and feature wall colour.

This room could quite easily look cold and uninviting but the vibrant colours and luxurious, textured fabrics makes it very inviting indeed!

When asked what you’d rescue from a burning house, most people would say their photographs.  Being a treasured reminder of the good times in life, photographs are one of the most important things we own.  So why not display your favourites on the wall?

Play around with different frame sizes and colours and create a feature wall for all of your favourite snaps and artwork.  Try different photo finishes, such as sepia and black and white to vary the look.

I love how a polaroid-sized picture has been mounted with a large border- it really makes it stand out, giving the image a sense of importance.

These illustrations would look fantastic in my office- I may put some of my own up for inspiration.

For something a little different, there’s no rule to say pictures must hang on the wall.  Try resting the frames on shelving for a contemporary look.

Have you created something similar in your home?  Send-in some photographs and we’ll feature you on the blog!
