2I fell in love with Myra Hoefer’s home this week when I was writing my interior focus post on Fluff & Feathers. What really attracts me to this home is the monochrome palette and mix of french and modern furniture. I think it is such a beautiful home, but calm and relaxing at the same time.

Isn’t Benjamin Dhong’s home absolutely beautiful? Designer Dhong transformed his home in San Francisco to chic, sexy and bold – no two rooms are the same. He mixes textures, colours and interesting pieces of furniture to create rooms which are truly unique. The home feels a little bit dramatic in some spaces, but ultimately its fresh and distinctive.

Hi readers … apologies for my absence over the majority of December. I’d figured that things would calm down a bit and I’d be able to blog to my heart’s content … but (thankfully) no such luck … my projects have been going full-steam ahead and I’ve been running around like a headless chicken. All of the blogs I’ve been following have been super full of Christmas stuff and it is so gorgeous and inspiring. But as I sit and write this and look […] Continue reading →
Continuing on from the glamorous home office which I posted about yesterday, I thought I’d also share this Hollywood Glam Lounge … The room is so pretty, peaceful and a little romantic – I love the simple tones, the details such as the beading on the sofa and the mirrored coffee table – it all just fits together so well … this is what my dream living room would look similar to!

This week we’re looking at a contemporary property located just by Lake Ontario that was designed by Guido Constantino.

The floor to ceiling glass provides beautiful and expansive views onto the backyard oasis, allowing lots of light to flood into the space. According to the estate agents selling the property it has been “designed for a successful individual or family, this contemporary Canadian […] Continue reading →
Hôtel Récamier is a petite B&B on the Left Bank in Paris, with cosy rooms overlooking Place Saint-Sulpice. It’s six storeys of traditional townhouse, with fancy fixtures, wrought-iron balconies and fashionable fabrics. Space may be limited, but the hotel makes up for it with sophistication – and it’s oh so chic, naturally. Once the playground of 20th-century philosophical and artistic rebels, from the Existentialists and the Surrealists to the ‘Lost Generation’ of […] Continue reading →
A client of mine is very keen on the Mah Jong sofa range by Roche Bobois … so I went to check it out yesterday; if I’m honest … a little sceptical at first because so much colour is not really my thing but I have to admit I was completely won over … The chairs are very casual and pretty comfy too – but the coverings give them quite an expressive style. The snaps I took above are chairs covered in Missoni fabrics; bright, bold and at the least […] Continue reading →
Yesterday we looked briefly at contemporary styles of interior design … today here are some pointers on how you can achieve such a look – simply and successfully! 1) Use natural and textural fabrics such as linen or jute. They work to create a natural contemporary feel because of their simplicity. Texture is a very important element in achieving a contemporary interior design style. A variety of textures will ensure that the room doesn’t look flat nor boring. Note in the […] Continue reading →
Loving these contemporary styled homes today. Focusing on a clean-lined approach, this style focuses first and foremost on function and tries to avoid excessive decoration used within other styles. Black, whites and neutral colours tend to dominate the contemporary style … … but through the use of accented features and accessories one can provide colour within a contemporary space … The following pic is by far my favourite – love the contrast shown through […] Continue reading →
