I adore texture and how it can take a room from blah to wow! If you’re wondering why it’s so important check out my post Texture, Your Secret Weapon here. Today, I thought we’d look to our walls and provide us with some wonderful textural inspiration rather than the usual suspects of cushions and throws. Our walls tend to play host to art work, and although they add colour and interest to the room, they don’t necessarily always provide textural qualities to…
I thought we’d have some fun today with the Cactus. It’s been a growing trend over the past couple of years, but this year, it appears we really are embracing the Cactus along side the triumphant Pineapple. You may even want to consider displaying them along side each other. I’m not one to follow trends per se, but I do love how the cactus provides sculptural forms, and texture to a space.

It’s the perfect time to get organised, and free ourselves from the accumulative…
It appears that we are ditching the wardrobe in favour of the The Clothes Rail when it comes to storing our clothes. The question is are your brave enough to have your clothes on display? Personally, being a clothes, shoes AND bag lover, I’m not sure I’d want it all on show, but then that’s probably because I wouldn’t want the OH to know the extent of my hoard! There are positives to ditching the wardrobe and looking to the clothes rail as…
CH24 Wishbone Chair by Hans J Wegner 100th Birthday Celebration April has been a month of birthday celebrations for myself and my youngest. It also happens to be the birth month of revered master craftsman, Hans J Wegner. I thought we’d celebrate together with one of his iconic chair designs, the CH24 chair or as it often referred to due to the Wishbone Chair due to its form. Hans J.
