Won’t you Charleston with me?
In light of what was and what is going to be – that is the 1920s era and the soon to be released, new edition of the Great Gatsby – art deco will be the interior inspiration for the purpose of this post… From the flapper inspired Crawley dress sense in Downton Abbey to the [...]
Pattern on, in and all over print
When it comes to pattern and print… I can’t get no! satisfaction! For the most part, clashing patterns and universe forbid, denim-on-denim in fashion, always illicits the up-then-down glance from passer’s by, but in décor – I don’t mind it in the least. Allow me to challenge the norm for the purpose of this post… [...]
Fashion-come-decor // twice the charm
Since the cameras, lights and all the action started in New York and made it’s way back to finish in Paris tomorrow, I thought to add a second addition to our fashion-come-décor post, to send off the height of this season’s splendour, in splendour. Marc Jacobs & Elle Decor at Fashion + Decor (Photo: null [...]
Set in style
Ever watched a film and whilst doing so, looked around your home and thought, this place has that set’s potential. I’m always most impressed by a good film’s set design as opposed to its actors or styling. I was crazy for the interiors that featured in A single Man. Oh! Have a look – here’s [...]
Bedrooms to Envy
It’s Friday and I thought “hey, what can I do to make someone’s day?” Then it came to me, no tips not critique, just great rooms to look at and admire. Well, I hope that it gives you ideas and something to look forward to. I hope that today’s post is more inspiration than envy, [...]
Dream Living, Sort of
Every now and then something triggers memories of dreams I had when I was young and bright-eyed. Be it a photograph or a song on the radio while I’m driving to the shops and I remember that when I was 13 I truly believed I would never drive. That as soon as I was free [...]
Essential small-space advice
What started off being a follow-up to my “bling up your rented space” post morphed, without me even being aware of it, into tips for decorating and utilising small spaces. Some of today’s décor advice entails painting and banging nails into walls. So if you’re renting but like what you see, now’s a good time [...]
Fair, fairer, fairest home of all
Apart from their ability to plump (or deflate) the ego, mirrors can add an exciting element to your décor. The trend these days, though, veers sharply away from large expanses of bikini-unfriendly reflection. The most stylish homes on houzz.com are wearing itsy bitsy teeny weeny mirrors – some of them even in polka-dot shapes. The trick [...]
Pretty in (pastel) pink
It’s a fact that brighter-than-bright décor is trending all over the world. But this doesn’t mean that you have to adopt the style if your personal taste tends more towards the pale. Pastel shades are soothing and pretty and, in large, doses, infinitely easier to live with. One trick that international decorators have adopted, though, [...]
Deep into the blue
If you read one of my previous posts (you DID read it, didn’t you … ?) you’ll remember my addiction to the decor glossies. And, as August’s edition of Visi is blue from cover to cover, and this is my favourite go-to colour, this issue of thefurnishingtouch is also dedicated to the shade. Thinking of [...]
