The Colour Edit – Thoughts & Inspiration On White Interiors

July 18, 2017

Whilst white interiors might not appeal to everyone, they have been prominent on the media and home front for many years. There’s an air of tranquillity, a serenity that is at the forefront of these colourless spaces. They have a tendency to make us stop in our tracks allowing us a kind of escapism from our often hectic lifestyles. There’s a timeless quality about white interiors and in still shots like the one above of capturing a moment in…

July 4, 2017

On a recent school run, my son and his friend got talking about their favourite colours. His friend said pink was his and so began a discussion of colour between them both.

The Colour Edit – Red

February 13, 2017

With tomorrow being Valentines day and all, I thought it only apt to do a post, not on love itself, but the colour red that represents our celebration of love. Not for the faint hearted, red is definitely an IN YOUR FACE kind of colour. It’s not surprising then, that most of us are perhaps a little scared, or unsure of how to implement it within our homes. Our concept of red is hugely variable. It’s emotionally charged colour that is representative of quite…

January 16, 2017

As the weather is continuing to be grey and rather miserable, I thought I’d start this week with some more colour inspiration.
