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… [...]
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 [...]
Recliner Chairs: A Family Affair
I have a proposal for you. For the next few minutes, and the next time you plan a room that needs comfortable yet chic seating, forget everything negative you’ve heard about recliner chairs. Pretend they were never labelled the staple of rarely chic rooms such as the “man cave.” Think positive, chic and gender neutral [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Tips from a decor voyeur
This post isn’t as much about décor trends as it is about human nature – but tell me you don’t enjoy peeking around inside other people’s homes … Be honest! Who out there hasn’t visited for-sale homes in the neighbourhood just to check out the bathroom fittings and kitchen cabinets? I’ve been known to do [...]
Wave hello
I just got an email from mooidev, the nice people who make thefurnishingtouch look pretty, to say that they’ve revamped the Grafton Everest website. Hey guys, the Trend Stalker is well impressed! The site is looking fresh and modern and – oh my word – so is Grafton Everest’s new range. Don’t you just love [...]
Come dine with me
Hubby and I have just spent 45 minutes poring over the Mr D takeaway menu (I’m getting sushi, he’s having a burger) and I noticed that nearly every fast-food franchise has a preponderance of red in its corporate identity … think about it. Even their outlets seem to boast bright red decor. So, curious, I [...]
One-wall wonders
I’ve been dying to write about what I like to call “one-wall wonders” for months but I held off until I found just the right photos to illustrate what I’m getting at. And now I have them! But, I hear you ask, what, exactly, is a one-wall wonder? Well it’s one statement-making wall that lifts [...]
The fabulous life: Take a seat
I spend a lot of time scouring cyberspace for beautiful design, which means that I spend a lot of time sitting – at my desk, at a coffee shop, at home on our L-shaped faux suede sofa – and so, as a side effect of what I do for a living, I have become a [...]
