Undercover...

With Spring ahead of us, our thoughts turn to clearing out, freshening up and giving our dull, wintery lives a boost!!... There's no better way to brighten up a tired living area, or adding a splash of positivity into your bedroom than adding a bright, bold print.

We're obsessed with upholstering at the moment - anything we can get our hands on, we're covering!! Our collection of inspirational ideas will give you a head start - but be warned, it's addictive!....

....or just cheat and head to Ben Pentreath for ready made ones....

....Inspired by Josef Frank, Apartment Therapy produce similar fabrics, but at a snip of the original price - so you can achieve this look for less!

We love a bit of 'Ethic Chic'...this gorgeous image was taken from Naomi's blog at Design Manifest. Her mix of ethnic fabrics teamed with geometric prints and a bright, bold work of art make for a beautiful combo!...

Move them round the house, make a feature of something in your bedroom or living room - frame a mirror, decorate your bed -  it's amazing the difference it can make!

Wall Art

Curating your very own art installation sounds a little more intricate than it actually is. Creating a unique collection of 'wall art' can be achieved with very little effort....

 Whether it's a treasured and sentimental photograph in an oversized picture frame teamed with a feather found on your travels.......

Play Away!

We've had a fantastic week! Busy, but great. We spent the day with the fantastic Groundbreak Productions shooting our latest 'mini' film and we can't thank them enough!...

Black Attack!

This week, we're absolutely loving - wait for it .... black, yes BLACK! Sound a little dull and depressing? No, no, NO! It's fantastic! Bold, striking and an absolute show stopper! Now, we're not suggesting running out and chucking black paint at your walls, but with a little bit of thought and careful decor consideration, a black splash here and there could work wonders...

Whether it's a feature wall or a collection of accessories.....anything can work!!! 


And the fabulous Rue Mag obviously like this idea too, with their stunning selection of images. Click on any of the images below and be transported into a whole world of wonder!..

Black Magic!

Oh....we can dream!
And if all else fails....you'll have to take accessorising to the extreme....

Sweet Symphony

So according to our 'trend' sense - yes, we were born with it (ha!) - we're predicting a mixture of gorgeous candy shades and the odd neon glow over the coming year. It's all about being playful, whether it's a soft elegant armchair with the a smattering of bright cushions or a collection of sharp neon art-work -  it's neon and candy all the way baby!..


In FACT, we just so happened to have just finished up our latest interiors layout for INOUT mag and there's no hiding the fact that pastels and candy have definitely made their mark.



These beautiful pieces created by Yorkshire based Furniture Designer and Maker, Anthony Hartley would be the perfect start.....in fact, take a peek at his website, pretty much everything on it would!....

Hello Yellow!

You know how it is, January arrives, every last drop of Christmas is turfed out and our lovely twinkling homes now look rather drab. We have the answer!! Colour combos! Our absolute fave to kick start 2012 is yellow & grey.

A fantastic way of injecting colour without overpowering and adding a touch of sunshine into your living room, kitchen....or anywhere in the house!

Try it - bright, fresh and energising - exactly what you need after an indulgent Christmas!....

On the other side of globe, but oh so sweeet! We'll be dropping in for a breakfast burrito next time we're hanging out in Cali!...

Bumble - Loving your style!


There's be absolutely no chance of getting out the wrong side of bed if you waking up in this room every morning! Every day's a sunny day!...

10 green bottles......disappeared very fast!


We celebrated with a few bottles of this stuff this year - Elderflower Champagne! If you can't quite muster up the energy to make it yourself, you can get similar from Cracking Good Food. Needless to say, the bottles were well and truly empty come midnight....delicious!
