Black+White Styling

Black and white styling is always on trend and is a great palette for those a little nervous about getting started with home decorating.  I could look at images of black and white interiors all day long!  I love the sense of calm that a monochrome interior evokes.  Various textures and patterns and even accents of timber give a black and white theme a warm and inviting feel.  Layering throws, accent cushions in varying patterns and bold graphic artworks are simple ways to decorate with black and white to create a super stylish space.

I love the styling in this image!!  White walls and white painted floors, accents of black and timber and how about those shoes!

Vertical shelving is a great way to add interest to a small space.  I love the simple black and white styling of this gorgeous cross blanket, Eames chair and wall calendar. 00566d2b1aa1ff4699c9d25512e13f7c

Washi tape is a great and super inexpensive way to create wall art using your favourite pics.  I have just ordered a stack of photo prints and can’t wait to re-create this look at home.

Black and white also looks fabulous in kitchen spaces. 30a3d4b85241b4073f973ddae38cbc44

A collection of prints stacked on top of wall shelves looks great and can be changed around to create a fresh new look with ease. 3b27ec2fdecf40df13490c58d8b6023f

Knitted Homewares

Knitting is no longer just for Nana’s!  Knitted homewares and design objects are the latest must-have item, from chunky knit throws, crocheted ottomans, beanbags, cushions, lighting, even smart-phone cases!  This wooly trend is a superb way to add texture and warmth to a space.

These images are a few of my Pinterest picks for wooly interior inspiration.

Style File – Lighting

Lighting is one of the key factors in making a good room great.  The perfect feature pendant can completely transform a room.  I love using multiple forms of lighting: wall lighting; pendant lighting or chandeliers; teamed with table lamps and a floor lamp to add character, functionality and style.  These are a few of my favourites:StyleFile_LightingThe Eyoi Yoi Pendant (#3) is the perfect addition to a children’s room, whilst my favourite the Coco Flip (#4) looks amazing hung low over a dining table.  Click on the links below for more details.
