Colour Injection

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!

Picture Perfect

I’m not sure if it’s the way the colours in the images compliment the soft-green wall, the fact I’ve never seen anything quite like it before, or that it has a cool art deco feel… whatever the reason, I just love this photo frame!

Contemporary colour

Aussie interior designer Diane Bergeron creates chic, timeless and classic spaces.  Her gorgeous Melbourne home, which appeared in none other than Australian Vogue last year, has been decorated to perfection- I love its contemporary, unique feel.  I’d be quite happy to move straight in!!

I have a thing for orange and grey at the moment, it looks stunning together!

There’s so much ‘going on’ in each room, yet it all seems to gel together well without all being too much.  Look at the dining room (above) for example, with its stripey curtains, colourful wall montage and odd set of chairs.  Who would have thought such a mixture could look so fab?!

Colourful Kitchen

This cute kitchen belongs to textile designer Chrissie Probert-Jones, co-founder of Stitch Designworks.  

I love the idea of the whiteboard in the kitchen- not only would it be of use to jot down recipe ideas and shopping lists but also great to doodle on, too! 

See how Chrissie has worked from a ‘blank canvas’ here, in that if stripped, the room would just be plain white.  Add colour in the form of accessories and change them to suit your mood.
