I go through phases of liking things and at the moment I have a particular interest in homemade bathing products.  They smell divine!  Good companies seem few and far between but I found EcoCentric, a one-stop shop for gorgeous eco homewares.  I’m absolutely loving the look of their organic cosmetics and I’m sure you will too.  The gift sets would make an extra special present for a friend (erm, or yourself!!)… 

Organic soap gift box (set of 4 soaps) , £13.99

Luxury soap gift, £8.95

Love Box, £14.50

Wayne Nathan from Memphis and Carol Egan from Dublin are two talented New york interior designers who together make up NathanEgan.  The company was launched in 2000, inspiring ‘uptown clients with downtown ideas’ (according to W Magazine).

Their interior design style consists of a refined, eclectic mix of contemporary and classic furnishings.  I love the elegance and sophistication of the finished looks…

Simple but effective- this layout is ideal for the hallway or to fill a corner.

Not quite the sophisticated look but this dreamy wallpaper transports me to lands far away!

I’ve always had a soft spot for floor-to-ceiling wardrobes… just stunning!

Natural light creates the illusion of space.  This ceiling window is fabulous

Open plan rooms are so very modern and very now.  Of course, the sheer size of this home adds to the feeling of luxury and extravagance.  I’m not too sure if I would want an open kitchen though… what about the cooking smells seeping through the house?!

Less is definitely more in this room.  Keeping colours simple and neutral give a light and airy feel- a natual look similar to New England style.

Baileys Home and Garden, based on Whitecross Farm in Herefordshire, UK, is an eco-friendly supply chain offering home accessory items old and new.  You’ll love the rescued and refurbished knick knacks for the home, garden and office!  Baileys favours the natural look, focusing on the stripped-back, original properties and features of a material.

“The things we sell are a surprising mix of vintage and new from a variety of sources – but they all share the qualities integral to our repair, reuse, rethink philosophy”.

The lifestyle images on their website are really inspirational .  The store (a restored barn) is pretty amazing too!

Owners Mark and sally Bailey have written two books which are a must read if you like to go au naturel!

This tranquil tenth-floor warehouse apartment located in Cape Town, South Africa, is the home of Brit-born fashion and interiors photographer Micky Hoyle.

Using the sea and mountains as inspiration, Hoyle has created a relaxing ambience with a neutral colour pallet and natural materials.  The 200sqm living area is all open plan, which compliments the relaxed, laid-back surroundings.

I love this seating area!

Modern technology is subtly incorporated amongst the home accessories so as not to detract from the natural look of the decor.

What do you think of the use of colour, or lack of?  I like the calming effect the gentle hues have, although I would like to see a few accents of colour dotted around.  Perhaps colour just doesn’t fit in a place such as this?  Lovely all the same!
