My top picks from john lewis home - part one bedroom

John Lewis Home - Part one bedroom

In this post i am going to choose some of my favorite things from John Lewis home

It is one of my favorite places to look for furniture and home accessories and it is also one of the first places i will look when working with a client.

I am going to pick items today from the bedroom section and i am going to relate it back to my post about using grey in the bedroom ! 



 I think this look is a minimal nautical theme using tones of grey, blue, natural wood furniture and antique brass, this is how the minimal nautical theme is built up 

 the feel of the room would be modern, chic and very relaxing perfect for a grown up space maybe in a town house facing the sea in trendy Brighton

Interior design style: Part 2, Neon Love

Neon in Interior Design

Part two of my interior design style is going to be the opposite of part one ! this week it is going to focus on neon in interior design ! i love the use of neon i think i makes a space fun and youth full and can inject that pop of colour that can transform a room.

You can easily use neon into your living space using accessories such as frames and baskets, vases or ornaments, cushions and throws!

 This image shows how just a pop or neon pink and yellow can really make and all grey interior that bit more fun ! 


This image shows how to add some personality to a plain white wall using modern art and neon frames! 

you can also add neon into your living space using everyday useful objects such as storage boxes and books ! this paired with a minimal pine shelving unit really lets the small snippets of colour shine through !


I think the key to using neon and not feeling as if your in Cyberdog in London is to use it sparingly and pairing it with white, grey or light wood this way you can use it in your everyday living environments and wont have to wear sunglasses inside !

January's My Little Box

Today I am going to do a small review on the January box from My Little Box this months theme was My little Energy Box !

Just like decembers box i was not disappointed with January's, the standard was just as high !  



As with last months all of the beauty products were contained in a little cotton bag with My Little Box logo on ;

1.Nails inc, Shade: Tate Red, £11
2.Talika's Photo Hydra Day, £43.50 for 50ml
3.My Little Beauty's Energizing mist: £7.50 for 75ml

 This month the life style piece was a small calendar it has such cute illustrations and quotes as well ! It is going to look great on the pin board next to my desk !
The final piece in the box was a gym bag ! the bag its self is fairly light weight but it is also waterproof which will always come in handy !

After two boxes I still think this box is the best subscription box around !

P.S
I would love to hear you guys feedback on the few posts I have done so far !

interior design style: Part 1, Fifty shades of grey

  Grey in Interior Design

Something i wanted to talk about today was my love of grey interiors, and in particular grey bedrooms ! i just think there is something so luxurious and relaxing about using different shades of grey in the bedroom mixed with some neutral colours and even a touch of blush, i get a lot of my inspiration for different ways to style grey from Pintrest

You can use grey in many different ways to fit everyone's style the photographs below show how grey can be used to create different styles;

  
A glamorous modern room with large chrome bedside lights and chrome accessories.


A modern neutral room bringing in colours from nature using the wooden bedside light and wooden frames


a Feminine room with touches of blush to create a softer feel and elegant furniture that creates a feeling of it being effortlessly chic.


This was just a quick post i hope it has inspired you !

Decembers My Little Box

Yesterday some exciting things came in the post !
  I received two boxes from My Little Box .The first one was December's and the second was January's. 

Today I am going to do a small review on the December box.

The first thing I noticed about the My Little Box was how cute the outside of the box was and how much detail had been put into it. Decembers box was a collaboration between My Little Box and Fleur De Force, who as it happens is one of my favourite Youtube personalities so this had given me high hopes for the box from the outset

 

 
  
When I had opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised by what I was presented with. It was all beautifully packaged and it really looks like a lot of effort has gone into the design and presentation which I was impressed with.

I also liked how the beauty items were all collected together in a cute little bag!
Included in the bag was;
  
As well as the beauty items, a selection of items for wrapping presents were included.
 I thought this was a really nice touch and was pleased that they could be used all year round and only a few of the tags and masking tape were Christmas themed
Finally, in the box was a really cute black and gold knitted head band which really feels like a high quality piece.

Overall, I feel the box was full of well thought-out items,
I also really like the mix of fashion, lifestyle and beauty! 
  I really felt that the box was worth more than the £11 a month plus £3.95 postage that you would pay for it,This would be my first subscription box and I did do quite a bit of research before subscribing to My Little Box and I feel it is the subscription box that you get a little bit for your money!

I would definitely recommend this to my friends, family and you guys !

H&M Home

Today i wanted to talk about somethings i have come across in my never ending search for amazing interior accessories ! 

H&M is mainly known for its quality clothing but something i have noticed is, people don't regularly talk about the home wear in H&M which is in its own right amazing ! The pieces in H&M home are stylish, simple and also a little bit quirky which is everything i look for in home decor !

I have recently picked out some of my favoute pieces and wanted to share them with you ! I feel these are pieces that look much more expensive than they actually are and can add a little bit of glamour and edginess to anyone's living environment.

I would highly recommend going over to H&M and checking out their amazing home wear !
