I have decided that 2017 is the year for renovations and getting stuck into a few exciting Decor Projects. I cannot wait to share a few of these projects with you. First on the agenda is my guest bathroom, which is just a guest loo, as it does not have a bath or shower. The space is currently a mishmash of DIY gone wrong. {not of my own doing though!} [Read more…]

Summer Decor Update with Superbalist
It is amazing how one’s decor style evolves over time, especially when I think back to some of the cringe-worthy things I used to like! A recent decision to declutter, has found me moving towards a more paired down, minimalist home decor style. I am in the process of updating my living area, so I thought I would share some of my inspirations with you. These are a few of my favourite items from Superbalist, for my Summer Decor Update.

Isabelina Decor Trends Autumn Winter 2016
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, 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.
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.

I hope you enjoyed these Decor and Colour Trends for AW 2016 and I hope they give you some ideas and inspiration for your own interior spaces. Please share the post if you liked it and leave a comment below!

Boardmans Celebrate the Month of Love
Celebrate with Boardmans & Win R1000 Voucher!
I have a bit of an obsession with black and white at the moment and you all know how I feel about red! So naturally when I saw the latest Boardmans trends, it was love at first sight!
Creating warm and inviting spaces in my home makes me happy and I think Boardmans have captured the essence of romance so well! Their range of “romance” inspired homeware, will help you create the perfect setting for that special dinner at home or simply help add a bit of glamour to your space!
Influenced by the pop-art prints and striking colour palettes of the swinging 1960s, every room in your home will feel the love. Add drama to your space with bold colours such as black, white and red. Introduce these colours to your living room with patterned scatter cushions, classic picture frames and contemporary vases.
I cannot think of anything more luxurious than wrapping up in a fluffy towel after a long, bubble bath! Boardmans’ have got you covered, with a wonderful range of bath towels and sheets, in the timeless colour palette of white, grey and fiery red. To keep the look contemporary in the dining room, why not go with a pared-down palette of black and white crockery and pinstripe placemats. For something a bit more fun, I am loving the heart-shaped cut out place mats and cherry red charger plates. These work perfectly with a set of black perspex cutlery and acrylic geometric tumblers.
