Home Office | Beyond The Fundamentals

PLAYTIME INSPIRATION

I always look for design inspiration in all places. I’m known to haunt showrooms, open houses and friends’ new flats in search of design excellence and inspiration to write a know-it-all blog post.

Winter trends you’ll want to snuggle up to

It’s that time of year, you know the drill – the days get shorter, the nights get chillier and you find yourself lovingly staring at @home’s and Woolworths’s window displays, seriously considering buying a faux fur throw for your bed or favourite sofa. Okay, maybe that’s just me… even if you’re not longing for faux [...]
