Yellow, grey & a little textile

Loving the colour & textile print combination! I'd love to do a project with this much print, & you know I can't go past grey either!  

What do you think?

Styling Tips

1. Be confident mixing up textures: Glossy, matt, mirror and timber add more interest and balance to your scheme.

2. Natural, organic finishes provide the bones for a classic interior, whilst the seasonal brights add a changeable layer. (Especially if you change your mind as often as I do!)

3. New neutrals- Turn everyday into out of the ordinary by using a strong new neutral wall colour. Warm greys are always interesting backdrop. (And by now you all know how much I love my greys!)

4. Don't be afraid of mixing iconic design pieces from different eras to express your unique sense of style. For example; wooden floors, Persian rugs and modern glass tables.

5. Investing in a beautiful piece of art can change the mood of a room and provide a great source of colour inspiration for the rest of your scheme. Art and cushions is where I generally employ colour, it's bold, changeable and refreshing.

DIY: framed collage

The trend in hanging art seems to be running in the direction of walls of mismatched frames clustered together to create a view-friendly arrangement. It's a look many love and often ignites warmth within. 

Stumbling across these images felt like an exciting breath of fresh air. I find the arrangements both interesting to look at yet calming at the same time - not a feeling that is evoked without skill. 

A simple concept and pitch-perfect execution.

The wall behind my bed has been empty for quite a while now so I thought perhaps it calls for a little DIY. The wall itself is white but the adjacent wall is similar to the dark grey pictured below.
