Living Room Makeover Ideas & Tips

Living Room Makeover

At the end of last year, we started our Living Room Makeover, which included the lounge and dining area of our home. These areas have pretty much been left to their own devices since we moved in, over four years ago. There were other, more pressing projects, which we needed to tackle first.

Superbalist Decor Wishlist

As you know, I love interiors and decorating my home is a great creative outlet! My only wish is that I had an unlimited budget. That said, you do not have to spend a fortune on decorating. Shopping online on platforms like Superbalist, is a great way to save money on a range of decor items. I have put together my Superbalist Decor Wishlist, which includes bathroom and living room decor.

How To Create a Luxurious Bedroom

How to Create a Luxurious Bedroom

My bedroom is my sanctuary, a place to escape the world, relax, unwind and clear my head. To create the perfect “sanctuary”, it is vital to get the decor right! As I have shared previously, my taste in decor has evolved over the years, becoming paired down and minimalist. Unfortunately, our master bedroom is an ode to all things beige. My dream is to Create a Luxurious Bedroom, one reminiscent of some of the hotel rooms I have had stayed in. [Read more…]

Isabelina Decor Trends Autumn Winter 2016

Isabelina Decor Trends

Isabelina has always been one of my go-to, decor and gift stores! I was delighted when I was invited for an exclusive viewing, of the Isabelina Decor Trends, for Autumn and Winter 2016!

Isabelina Decor Trends

Isabelina, meaning “Queen of all butterflies”, epitomizes beauty, luxury, refinement, quality and exclusivity. Our bespoke collections of luxurious décor, furniture, and unique lighting offer a sophisticated style to the discerning interior design aficionado.

Isabelina Decor Trends Autumn Winter 2016

I love getting the inside scoop on decor and design trends and was particularly excited to find out what Isabelina had in store for Autumn/Winter 2016. What is the collection about, you ask? As co-founder Judith Matthews explained, AW 2016 at Isabelina is all about colour and adding dashes of autumn shades to your living spaces. Think Autumn leaves – golds, burnt oranges and naturally touches of green.

The Isabelina Decor Collection includes stunning hand painted vases, in flashes of autumn colours and a range of burnished metal and rose copper tables.

As far a design goes, shape and form are of great importance this season. Metals also play a big role, especially in larger furniture pieces. Gorgeous bevelled mirrors, are the perfect way to add a touch of glamour to any space!

Something I found most intriguing, was that all of the beautiful flowers on display, were in fact not real. They were the most stunningly crafted silk flowers. I feel that it is essential to have a “natural” design or decor element in your space and these blooms are the perfect solution!

Colour Trends 2016

We were also treated to insights from Claire Bond, the Brand Ambassador for Plascon Paint. Claire shared her knowledge of colour therapy, as well as her take on the current colour trends. She touched on the current Pantone Colour of the Year, which is Rose Quartz and Serenity. A rather dreamy and romantic palette.

Pantone Colour of the Year 2016

 

Another colour trend for 2016, which Claire mentioned, is the Plascon Heirloom Palette. This palette is quite dramatically different, in relation to the Pantone Colours.

The Heirloom Palette looks to that past for indulgent luxury. Rich colour and texture inspires a new classicism in design, with a sensual palette of neutrals and moody tones.

Design expressions in the Heirloom Palette include colour treatments, which mirror Old Master paintings. There is a careful balance of light and dark tones, and artful decay in textures.

Grey and White Kitchen Decor Inspiration

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.
