Colour inspiration

I just love this colour, perfect for creating drama in a room.

Starting a new scheme

When you are decorating a room at home, pick your favourite colours and begin from there.

The starting point doesn't have to be from a paint card, it could be from 

- cushion

- blind 

- piece of amazing fabric

- vase

- art work

Kitchen makeover

I wanted to share this kitchen makeover with you.

Dior at the V&A

I visited the Dior exhibition in Paris recently and I have now discovered that the

exhibition is coming to London at the V&A.

The exhibition starts February, click here to see more info.

The exhibition is amazing and full of inspiration, colour and design, 

all of which can be transferred to your home design and accessories.

Paris in Red

Paris ......

The home of style, fashion, interior design and inspiration!

Dior exhibition in Paris

I was fortunate enough to catch the Dior exhibition in Paris before it end at the

beginning of January.

The exhibition was full of amazing, beautiful dress, accessories and clothes.

The fabrics were just awesome!

So much detail in the embroidery.

The colours, fabrics and textures are so easy to transfer to your home.

For example an embroidered cushion and green throw would be perfect

accessories for Spring to update your home.

Paris street art

On a recent trip to Paris I noticed lots of street art.

Quite a mix of styles, colour and designs.

White Christmas

Have a white Christmas with Farrow and Ball.

Colour of the Year 2018

Pantone has now announced their Colour of the Year for 2018.

Ultra Violet.

What do you think?

Interior inspiration from the House of Dior

Love grey?

There is plenty of interior inspiration from The House of Dior in London.

20 different sculptures are placed around the store and all are amazing, 

ranging from art work, pieces of furniture and lighting.

Colour inspiration for your home

There is always an opportunity for colour inspiration while out and about.

Shopping in Liberty recently I noticed these balls of wool on display.

The colours are perfect for Autumn/Winter decor in your home.

You may already have some colours in your home but had not thought

about putting another colour with your scheme.

Inspiration is everywhere.

Where do you find your colour inspiration?

Who is the hero in your house?

Have you got a hero piece of furniture in your home?

A great statement piece is your headboard.

You can go as large as you want, adding colour, texture or pattern.

Have you seen this colour app?

I came across this app and have been playing with it this week.

The Valspar Colour Wand app has an inspire button

which is great if you are looking for ideas.

You can save the images and then you are provided with the exact 

colour code for the valspar paint you need to achieve the palette colours.

The app is free, download to your phone and create a free account.

Colour inspiration

Have you seen a particular room you love in a magazine

or online?

You can achieve a very similar look yourself by picking the

colours you love from the image.

This kitchen has quite neutral colours but the deep pink makes

the colours pop.

You could add the pink in a scheme with the accessories as above, also around

the dining table, with curtains, blinds, cushions, rugs.

Because the colour isn't on anything permanent you can change the hero

colour for the seasons.

Hello Autumn!

Paris in colour

It's the weekend!

Kitchen inspiration

I came across some great show homes at the weekend.

I love these kitchen designs.

The kitchen was galley style but the units at

different heights and widths made the whole kitchen 

feel very designer.

Two tone cupboard doors also looked great

in a small space without over powering the room.
