The House of Dior

I recently visited The House of Dior at New Bond Street, London.

This room display stood out to me with the beautiful pink wallpaper

with bee motif.

The grey, white and pink colour scheme is just so elegant.

Grey is a colour which runs all through the House of Dior from art

sculptures, flooring to furniture.

It's worth a look just at the decor in here and the icing on the cake 

are the products to purchase!

Art work and photo displays

It can be great fun creating your own picture gallery.

You don't have to just include photos in your frames, you can use art work, postcards, quotes, certificates, newspaper/magazine clippings, the list is endless!

Have fun creating!

How to tidy up your book shelves

Got messy book shelves?

Don't know how to style them?

After a de-clutter, start with everything off the shelves and on the floor.

It's much easier to put things back onto the shelves and edit again as you go.

Don't forget you can display other items with your books, including frames, sculptures pots, photos, flowers ......

If you have lots of books try putting them in colour order, but only do this once throughout the house.

Even office shelves can have an edit and a make over!

If you love a certain wallpaper you can even cover the back of your book shelves for extra interest, especially if you intend using it as a pure display area so the paper shows through.

How to make odd numbers work

When displaying objects in your home or garden, make them look really effective by using odd numbers.

Sets of 3, 5, 7 .......

Whether this be plants, photo frames, candle sticks, mirrors.

What to do with empty frames

Have some spare empty frames in storage, instead of hiding them lean them against the wall as a display or put them on the wall.

Frames are artwork themselves even without a picture in them.

Don't have fancy frames, just simply paint plain ones to create an eye catching display.
