Decorating With Print: There really is such a thing as too much of a good thing
Dear Reader, The American writer, James Baldwin, once wrote: “if I love you I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” And it is from this same place that I bring you today’s post, from a place of love. I need to talk to you about using print in décor. I [...]
Kitchen bling
Once upon a time, the kitchen was the most utilitarian room in the house. Used by cooks, maids and servants, it was a dark, poky place to which no attention was paid in terms of either ergonomics or décor. Nowadays, the kitchen is where we live and entertain – and the thinking that goes into [...]
An ode to beds
It’s three minutes past three (in the morning!) and this Trend Stalker has just dragged herself from slumber to get a head start on the day’s deadlines. Browsing through my ideabooks for inspiration for today’s post, I found one that really resonates: bedrooms and, more specifically, beds. Right now, any bed would do. But wouldn’t [...]

Making a statement: Interiors that speak your mind

The monogram trend: Decor just got personal
Ever since I laid eyes on Jonanthan Adler’s letter pillows I have been a bit obsessed with monograms in décor. Nothing adds an ‘I live here’ touch to a room quite like a well-placed monogrammed something.
