On The Move

The spring spirit has caught on it seems - there's a Style Inside house move in the midst!! A lovely new apartment crept up on us and we just had to take it. Light and airy and perfect for welcoming in the warmer months. I've (literally) been dreaming of endless white walls and the mountain of accessories that I'll have dripping from the place.

Moving is always stressful, but it'll be worth it once we're all done and we can stamp our style on it...

Here's a sneaky peek at my bedroom thoughts. Muted tones, relaxed greys and whites. Perfect for waking up to in the morning....(hopefully to breakfast in bed!)

1.  Pride Wooden Wall Hanging 2.  Pendant Light 3.  Shutter Wardrobe 4. Plaid Cushion

5. Stripe Cushion 6. Stockholm Side Table 7.  Essex Wool Rug

What do you think? To subtle? Not bright enough? Or just right?

Pad Envy....

As Spring has now sprung up on us, there are many things we can do to add subtle hints of colour into our homes. With our lighter mornings and lighter evenings these will really make a difference and get us excited about summer! (Fingers crossed we get one!)

The author of interior design blog colormecarla highlights this perfectly with these photos of her lovely home in Minneapolis....

LOVE this soft and soothing turquoise and pink combination.....

A rustic table paired with black and white adds drama....

I love the different shapes and sizes of the globe, the box files and that sweet turquoise bowl....

 I need everything on and in this side table!!! 

Animal ornaments are so cute and a serious must-have at the moment..

The round mirror, pointed birdcage and soft pink flowers create the perfect textured focal point. I want this house!....

House swap please Carla?!!......

Exciting Stuff...

Monday mornings wouldn't exactly go down in history as the most loved part of the week, but you know what, this is a pretty good one! We've got some great projects ahead of us on and we're feeling gooood! 


...and in keeping with all this lovely jubbly positivity we have some majorly exciting news!!!


We've been on the look out lately for some fresh and new talent to be part of the Style Inside team.....and guess what (!?)...we have found our very first. Joining as our very own contributor blogger University of Chester graduate Jasmine Holley will blog once a week on the latest hot new interior trends and keep a watchful eye on all things not to be missed. Jasmine’s love of all things interiors is welcomed by Style Inside - we can’t wait to get her started!


A big welcome squeeze to Jasmine!.....

With a little help from your friends.....

So it's been a stressful couple of weeks for our lovely friend Anna who has just moved into a great little pad not too far from us (yippee!).....and of course being the wonderful, generous friends we are we've put together a few key pieces for her brand spanking new living room - retro inspired but with a contemporary twist!

And So The Obsession Grows

An all time favourite and an absolute classic when it comes to colour combinations. Instantly creating clean, fresh lines and cool, calm and collected surroundings.... You'd expect to see the two sitting pretty in styled up beach houses on the East Coast or donning the insides (and out) of your Greek Island getaway- there's no doubt this duo are the perfect match.


My trip to Santorini last summer really sparked the obsession.....and now there's just no getting away from it!...

Here's a thrown together taster for you....prepare to be OBSESSED!

Gorgeous blues stand out against this white backdrop...

Something for the Weekend...

We're in the mood for sharing our latest moodboard....


Our latest lovely client had a year long (wow!) nightmare trying to find the perfect fabric for her bedroom curtains and an elegant chair to compliment.....now we don't like to blow our trumpets or anything, but let's just say we found them both....(in a day)....


Here's a sneaky peek at what we presented to her...
