Interior Inspiration - Scandinavian Style

Let's start off the week with this great interior inspiration in Scandinavian style from Inside Out magazine. "This home utilises clean lines, rich tones and texture to create a sense of warmth in a white space". Lovely.

Colour from Inside Out

The cover of the April issue of Inside Out caught my eye the other day and it was because of the lovely colours I could see popping out. Inside was this feature by stylist, Julia Green sharing her tips and advice to incorporate colour in the home with paint. I like that she keeps a predominate neutral scheme with shots of colours coming through in furnishings and details. "Think about how colours make you feel and paint accordingly - I'm soothed by soft colour, and introduce  bright tones in measured pops only." Great advice! Read more about each room here or even better find the magazine. Have a great weekend all.

Modernist Beach Home

We have been having lovely, sunny and calm Wellington weather at the start of our winter season, so it doesn't feel so bad to share this modernist beach home from Sydney, rather than a cosy cabin today. It's no surprise that this home is so stylish as it is the home of interior stylist and buyer, Karen Kelly Tarasin and her family - and it has made the cover of the latest Inside Out magazine. I like the warmth of the timber, vintage Danish furniture and shots of blue throughout. Read more here.

One Room Two Ways

Living room 1

I love seeing these 'one room, two ways' from Inside Out magazine as it demonstrates that a room can be styled in many different ways and that there is no 'right' way - just lots of possibilities! Which one do you like?

A Place Called Home

Happy New Year! I am back in the office today and ready to tackle another year ahead. I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoyed a relaxing break. I'm looking forward for the 'real' summer weather over the next few months and have several cool projects to work on.
Here is the Bondi apartment belonging to Australian stylist, Jason Grant. Last year he released his book, A Place Called Home, in which he teaches how to decorate your home just like a stylist. The overall vibe of the book is fresh, summery and colourful.

Seaside Family House

 

 

I enjoyed looking at this beach house which is in (and on the cover of) the latest Inside Out magazine (November/December 2013). The house was decorated as a Christmas feature, however I liked looking at it as it would be on a daily basis - a relaxed and stylish seaside family home. See more here.
