Grey and White Kitchen Decor Inspiration

If I am not behind my desk, then you will probably find me in the kitchen! It is important to me that a kitchen is functional, as well as being an inspirational space! As you know, we moved house just over a year ago, and although the kitchen is functional, it could differently do with a bit of a facelift! I am always scouring home decor mags and the web to find Decor Inspiration for my space. I usually find lots of inspiration and ideas for my home on Houzz.com.

Boardmans Celebrate the Month of Love

Celebrate with Boardmans & Win R1000 Voucher!

I have a bit of an obsession with black and white at the moment and you all know how I feel about red! So naturally when I saw the latest Boardmans trends, it was love at first sight!

Creating warm and inviting spaces in my home makes me happy and I think Boardmans have captured the essence of romance so well! Their range of “romance” inspired homeware, will help you create the perfect setting for that special dinner at home or simply help add a bit of glamour to your space!

Influenced by the pop-art prints and striking colour palettes of the swinging 1960s, every room in your home will feel the love. Add drama to your space with bold colours such as black, white and red. Introduce these colours to your living room with patterned scatter cushions, classic picture frames and contemporary vases.

I cannot think of anything more luxurious than wrapping up in a fluffy towel after a long, bubble bath! Boardmans’ have got you covered, with a wonderful range of bath towels and sheets, in the timeless colour palette of white, grey and fiery red. To keep the look contemporary in the dining room, why not go with a pared-down palette of black and white crockery and pinstripe placemats. For something a bit more fun, I am loving the heart-shaped cut out place mats and cherry red charger plates. These work perfectly with a set of black perspex cutlery and acrylic geometric tumblers.

To help you Celebrate the Month of Love, the wonderful folk at Boardmans have decided to treat one lucky reader, to a Boardmans voucher worth R1000! It is up to you how to spend it – whether you decided to treat yourself or spoil your loved one.

Yuppiechef is one of my favourite online homeware stores! This is mainly because I love cooking and fancy myself as a bit of a kitchen diva!

This makes it easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. They have a fabulous selection of homeware goodies and all the gadgets any self respecting kitchen diva should own!

Products include coffee, biscuits, snacks, ingredients, craft beer and wine. As a subscriber, you’ll also get to try latest releases and products new to the market.

Our morning started off with coffee and a delicious breakfast. After which we were treated to a look behind the scenes. It was really great to meet some of the people who run this fantastic operation, as well as finding out what keeps a successful business like Yuppiechef ticking over.

After our tour each of us had the opportunity of packing a personalised gift, for a special someone in our life. Essentially giving something back!
