BIG BOLD FLORAL !

 

One of my favorite types of pattern for upholstery, wall paper, curtains, etc is a big bold bright floral pattern ! this can be added to a room in a small way using cushions or a new duvet set or in a more permanent way buy investing in a beautifully made pair of curtains or some stunning wall paper.This season is especially good for finding big bold and bright floral prints as they lend themselves so well to summer and spring and add that bright summer feeling to your room !

These are a few examples of interiors that have used bold floral designs to their advantage.

These are some examples or amazing wall paper from designer guild :

Interior Design Style: Part 3, "And it was all yellow"!

Yellow in interior design

Part three of my interior design style is going to be talking about using yellow in interior design ! Recently yellow has made a bit of a come back in the interior design world and has become quite trendy but i find people are still a bit weary about breaking out of the magnolia and beige and start injecting some colour into their lives !

 I'm going to show some examples of easy ways to brighten up your home using yellow !

 

 The first way would be to go all out buy a yellow sofa and really make an impact in the space, this would work well if your space is a blank canvas it would become the focal piece in the room, and could bring some life back to a plain space this could work well if your renting and cant paint !

 

 Another way would be to add a pop of colour in a slightly less costly way would be to paint something you already have, this is something you could easily do  and could look as effective as this amazing shelving unit !

This last way is a really easy way to change up a kitchen these industrial stools bring personality and colour into a very modern and cold space these are easily found with a quick google search and come in a range of colours as well !

I think yellow is an amazing colour to bring some light and personality to any space, all of these images can be found on my pintrest along with a full board of inspirational images of yellow decor ! 

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 !

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 !
