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!!

Kate Spade‘s New York apartment is just like her handbags- tasteful, stylish and rather enviable.  Full of special vintage finds and the odd interesting piece of artwork dotted around, this home has a very personal feel to it.

The use of rich, warm colour makes Kate’s apartment appear warm and inviting.  I love the eclectic mix of furniture and the mix of modern, contemporary artwork with vintage pieces.  Who said the two don’t go together?  Look at that amazing large rug!

It can be a challenge to decorate oddly-shaped rooms.  This space is almost like an art gallery- a peaceful area where you can sit and study the beautiful artwork.  Wooden floors give added grandeur.

A strong brick red such as this can be quite daunting to use.  Use sparingly and remember that dark colours can ‘shrink’ a room.  Keep ceilings white to add height.

Love the navy blue and gold together.

US Interior designer Kirsten Krason is the owner of one of our favourite blogs, 6th Street Design School.  You always anticipate the home of an interior designer to be really cool and inspiring don’t you?! Well Kirsten’s place doesn’t disappoint!

Kirsten likes to keep her home in South Jordan, Utah, neutral when it comes to wall colour and then add pops of vibrant colour to each room.  I love the contrast in pattern…

” My home is my pride and joy. I have spent so much time creating a space that I love and adore “.

Blue is one of Kirsten’s favourite colours and features somewhere in each room of the house!  The rich colour pop really ‘lifts’ the bedroom, above- the perfect finishing touch.

” I’m a risk taker when it comes to design.  Bold colors and graphic patterns really inspire me when creating new and beautiful spaces “.

Such a lovely, inviting home with just the right balance of colour and pattern!

It’s a given really that Lulu Guinness was going to have a fabulous home… talk about stating the obvious.  I love her quirky, eclectic style, her arty approach and her innovative ideas.  I could move straight into her Victorian terrace (although I think she might consider me a little odd if I did!)
