Interiors Photography

Photographs of interior spaces is a difficult talent to master. People tell you never to work with animal or children, I would advise you to pray to the sun before doing a photographic shoot. 

Brent Darby is a talented New Zealand born photographer who is now living in NYC and making his name in the interiors industry. His style is light, airy, full of nature light (see, a true talent, he must do a lot of praying) and always incorporates texture. 

I am drawn to the gentle and simple nature of these images. They don't look over styled, instead, they look rather effortless. 

Do you relate to his images as much as I do?

Spring has finally sprung! Each week this month we will be sharing a seasonal design tip from the Editors of Australia’s leading home and lifestyle magazines.

Our first tip, from Real Living Editor, Deborah Bibby is for the Living Room: ‘Pack away any furry cushions or throws. Swap out all those dark colours in the living room for bright, breezy fresh colours. Roll up the rug and replace with a cotton rug or sisal (the soft under foot one)’.

matte black on a monday

Check out our new "It's Monday, but... it's ok!" header! What do you think? I have decided to spark up the daily posts with these fun headers made by yours truly! There will be a new one every day and they will change with the seasons. I hope you enjoy them!

Some designers or home creatives are fearful of brown and black, while others are fearful of white on white. I believe there is always space for new design rules, this means we are allowed to break them! One interior belief we are going to break today is black, "a coat of matte black paint hides a multitude of sins." Tired, battered furniture suddenly seems alive and edgy with a coat of matte black. Gloss finishes, on the other hand, draw attention to any small imperfections, such as chips and nicks. For those internationals try, Benjamin Moore's Ben Waterborne Interior Paint, which is a low-VOC, 100-percent acrylic latex (ideal for painting furniture) in a flat finish in Universal Black. For those in Australia try Taubmans endure.

Who said that monochromatic interiors are boring?

This one proves its detractors wrong by showing how much the black and white palette - coming back BIG time this coming fall and winter in Europe - can be cosy, classy and oh so stylish! Special 'coup de coeur' for the white canvas printed with the black lettered stencils [a cheap and clever alternative to expensive artwork and very versatile, hung on the wall or standing on its own on the floor, sideways]. I am really enjoying the combination of black, white and a touch of wood. I think I'm in love!
