With winter on our doorstep, we’re really enjoying the comforting feel of soft fabrics in the home. Linen, naturally, is top of our list.
You may have noticed our recent newsletter extolling the virtues of linen. If you didn’t (or if you just love linen, like us, and want to read about it ALL the time) then here are 5 of the reasons linen is such a great choice. Continue reading
So Christmas is long gone, the cold weather is hopefully behind us, and now it’s time to gear up for Spring! Spring brings with it the daffodil explosion, super cute ducklings, the dreaded Spring clean, a whole new wave of style trends and hopefully the ability to leave work and still some daylight left for a stroll home. And then there’s Easter! Continue reading
So Fashion Week season is in full swing, with designers showcasing their fashionable talents around the globe, showcasing their take on the upcoming trends.
Whilst we may not be perching on the FROW admiring the creations, taking selfies with the hot and famous, we do like to find the hottest of trends and couturiers of the Interior Design world and showcase them to you, ready to be admired and adorned a million times over.
And this week’s tuiss love goes to none other than In-Spaces.
When Harper Lee announced she would be releasing a sequel to literary classic ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’, the world went crazy, snapping up copies of the original, with some bookstores reporting increases of over 1000% overnight!
We love to get our heads stuck in a good book, and decided to take a look at some fab book inspired pieces for your home. Continue reading
In a recent article, it was reported that the Duchess of Cambridge was “green with envy” when she visited Frederik VIII’s Palace during a visit in 2011, and later took interior design tips from Princess Mary for their own home- at Kensington Palace.
Frederik VIII’s Palace is home to some of the most impressive wall murals and artworks, since it’s renovation in 2010, completed by contemporary Danish artists, including Olafur Eliasson.
Murals are a great way to add substance to a room and often make great conversation starters for guests. Continue reading
One of our eagle-eyed team members spotted this incredible artist’s work and we simply had to write about him!
Lorenzo Manuel Duran is a Spanish artist who cites both art and nature as his passions, leading him to create some of the most spectacular leaf-cuttings that we have ever seen.
His work varies from animals to intricate patterns as well as faces and silhouettes. They’re all so beautiful that we found it hard to choose a mere handful to display here!
Take a look at his website for a look at his full range- he also has paintings, masonry work and details of the many projects and exhibitions he’s taken part in.
Although she has cemented herself in the contemporary fashion industry- worn by the likes of Michelle Obama, Scarlett Johansson and Taylor Swift- Nanette Lepore has now turned her talents to a range of home furnishings and we just love the results!
These bedding sets are a prime example of Nanette’s love of bright, vibrant colours. The royal blue colour is simply stunning will make a great centre-piece in your room while the beautiful red bedding includes intricate details to really bring it to life.
The decorative cushions she’s designed also have a certain “wow factor”- the embroidered patterns are exquisite and feature a range of loud colours that grab your attention and will certainly help you inject a little personality into your home.
If you’re looking for something bright and exciting to add a stylish and modern edge to your home, then you should consider checking out Nanette Lepore’s work to see if there’s that special something just for you, you can get to her website by clicking here.
Today we’re bringing you yet another hidden gem from the world of fashion. Charlene Mullen, creator of these fabulously quirky cushion designs, isn’t actually that well hidden – more internationally renowned in fashion circles.
Still, it might be the first time you’ve come across her work and we can assure you it’s utterly fabulous.
It centres around line drawings in an almost folksy style, updated for the 21st century. She’s a particular dab hand at city skylines. Her series, that includes the Millennium Wheel, the Gherkin and London Calling, are unique and wonderfully eclectic.
What’s more, we think they’d look great with one of our Cityscape roller blinds! Here’s a look at some more of her work:
Julie Dodsworth’s wonderfully English designs are inspired by her time spent on British canals watching the beautifully painted boats go by. Her colourful, floral designs delightfully depict real English heritage and are available on a range of different products on her website and in stores throughout the country. We’re huge fans of her unique blend of modern kitsch and traditional British design.
Shop three shops in one! Rigby & Mac is the online world of three ‘real’ shops that sit, almost side by side, in Dulwich, London. All the shops work a different style but all are presented beautifully and we really love the vintage slash eclectic look of the website. Shop by shop, or shop by product, for every room in your home.
The dulwich trader at No.9 combines country style with a touch of glamour. Tomlinsons at No.89 has a feminine, vintage feel and proves that pale is definitely interesting. Ed at No.41 is a modern and quirky fusion of Scandinavian design and global influences.
