Set in style//part 2//series
Inspire your interiors with the series that inspire you – I know, after watching the stylings of Suits and the likes, I most definitely should have been a lawyer. And, after watching Victoria’s reign of power in Revenge, it’s certain (not that it wasn’t) marrying for money only gets you… an awesome house… kidding.
Chandeliers & lamps for ladies
I once decided to apply for architecture – one of the tasks was to design a lamp, so off I went and drew inspiration from where ever would yield it. It had to display signs of a future architect, so needed to light up, if you will, the design critics heart. Some of my inspiration [...]
Get a kindle, they say… It will be fun, they say…
Bookshelves with books on ’em – oh, what a feat! I suppose it’s expected, nowadays, that on a bookshelf you’ll find some pots, some souvenirs and one kindle. Get a kindle, it’ll save the trees, they say… I’ll have you know, and I’ve done the research – the trees books are made of are specially [...]
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… [...]
Mix-and-match
Makes a patch look like less of one. While the old school of thought followed having a set of crockery for various occasions, it seems that décor is taking a different stance. Mixing-and-Matching kitchen wear makes for a more eclectic look and feel and if a plate is broken, in true greek style or no, [...]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Whose home is the most stylish of them all? Why, the most stylish people of course… I thought we’d take a look at the ultimate influenced-by-fashion homes, those are the homes of the fashion influencers, get where I’m going? If they’re making it in fashion, they’re making it in interior design. We think so… Here’s a [...]
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 [...]
Minimalise clutter
I’m sure you can safely agree, none of us will ever hold the attention of visitors for too long by taking them through ticket tear-offs or memorabilia from random experiences. “This is when we went to…” please! In my opinion, it’s about having what you want in your home but never too much to maintain. [...]
You may enter
Have your entryway ready to greet whenever the doorbell rings. Here are the most basic, yet most important, all-you-need-to-know tips for creating an impressionable first impression. First thing’s first and this doesn’t count ’cause it’s a given – walking into darkness certainly won’t get you off on the right foot, so be sure to avoid [...]
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 [...]
