Colour Injection

August 23rd, 2010

It may seem daunting at first but once you’ve injected a little colour into your home you’ll be pleased you did.  Be it a feature wall, a piece of furniture or simply a throw- a burst of colour can really lift the mood, and yours!

CMYK Shade by Soner Azenc, £49 each

I love these lamp shades, above.  Great for the office or in a child’s room

 

Oli felt rug by Selina Rose, £445

Orange and grey is one of my most favourite colour combinations.  Striking and sophisticated!

Muse over this…

August 20th, 2010

No they’re not spaceships… they’re lampshades!  Don’t they look cool?!  So modern, fresh and totally avant-garde.  My favourite is the multicoloured one, however I love the effect the single coloured shades have when mounted on a wall of the same colour.

 

The collection is called Muse, made in Italy by Axo.  They only use natural material such as Vicenza stone, blown glass, silk and bamboo in their creations.

Creativity all round

August 6th, 2010

Not only is Christian Lacroix an amazing clothing designer- his talents appear to stretch to interior design, too!  Last year his seventeenth-century apartment in the Parisian neighborhood of Le Marais was on the market and looking at these images, I could’ve moved in straight away… 

Bright, colorful and eclectic.  How sweet is the staircase?

The floor to ceiling windows open as doors, in true Parisian style…

A tasteful mix of old and new, don’t you agree?

Quirky house in Kensal Rise

July 30th, 2010

This north west London home is so light, airy and refreshing.  I love the  gentle pastel colour palette, which continues throughout the house.  So much inspiration!  It just goes to show how a few carefully-placed home accessories can turn a house into a home…

 

White flooring and walls give the illusion of space due to the continuation of colour

The dining area has a very organic feel to it.  The miss-match of chairs finish the room off beautifully

This collage of prints on the wall helps to bring the room together and gives it a modern touch

Even small touches can make a place feel more homely.  D.I.Y doesn’t always have to be costly!
