Just loving this lounge today for inspiration … it’s traditional in the sense that the design is calm and ordered. Much of the furniture used within the space is outdated and replicated but makes for a comforting space. Everything tends to match and the look is consistent … so typical of traditional design … but then on the back wall is a completely modernist painting which adds interest and brightens up the space completely. It throws off the whole […] Continue reading →

Ikat (sometimes spelt Ikkat) is a dying technique which is used to create pattern textiles that employs a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dying. It is an age-old process and is thought to have originated from South East Asia […] Continue reading →

Jan’s exquisite designs are hand worked on quality natural cottons linens and wools. I want to create something that will bring joy to people and be handed down, just as the embroidery skills of my artisans have been […] Continue reading →
I just stumbled across this gorgeous hotel in Valencia … the Palau de la Mer … The aristocratic 19th Century building is located in the heart of Valencia, close to both the shopping and historic districts. The building itself is a refurbished palace and mixes a combination of historic and modern looks to achieve stunning design. The huge vaulted lobby is a stunning example of how the designer has maintained the grandeur of the space without being too fussy. The simple tones of […] Continue reading →
