five favourites - darling duvets ...

Hello all,

Another week, another collection of my "five favourites". Each time I put  my five favourites together I tend to think that I should rename it "fifty favourites" as I always struggle to whittle down the number of great products I come across. Stores and webshops are saturated with great designs for the home, so you really are spoilt for choice as there is such an abundance of beautifully designed textiles and products out there. 

Saying this, we all tend to have our favourite stores, the ones which we can rely on to provide us with great products each season, I have to say for me this store is Anthropologie, the mix of colours and patterns selected for their homeware products always caters for my taste perfectly.

As I'm sure you may have noticed, often my five favourites include an Anthro product. However I do like to vary which stores and designers I select, whether its a hand made product from the copious amount of talented designers on Etsy, a high street giant such as John Lewis or a luxury product for the lovely Libertys it's great to be able to mix different market levels and prices in my five favourites to compare the products that are currently out there.

This week I have focused on something which may seem basic in it's function but is anything but in it's design. Bed linen is big business, this is yet another way to explore pattern, colour and textures. Easy to mix and match, ranging from high street prices to high end luxury, the choice is endless. With fashion designers such as DVF and Missoni designing beautiful bed linen, it's no surprise that fabric you put on your bed can look just as fashionable as the fabric you wear each day. 

Below I have selected my five favourites, as always focusing on colour and print I think these five favourites are equally as wonderful, through their colour balancing and pattern placement they would make any bed that more inviting.

1. West elm

2. Missoni home

3. DVF Home

4. Habitat

5. Anthropologie

five favourites - Bold and Beautiful ...

Hello all,

Whilst flicking through this months issue of Living Etc it has only fed my addiction for bright coloured furniture and pattern. Page upon page sees beautiful finds, from the Pema Beach chair from Anthropologie to the sunshine yellow Storm lantern from Toast, it's all about colour and this couldn't be more up my street if it tried.

There are so many clever pieces which can be used inside or outside the home that it provides an encouraging nod to alfresco living. My favourites examples of such furniture being the A Frame Bench by Jennifer Newman (in my favourite.... yellow. Hurrah) and the Florence wire chairs found in John Lewis, these can be used in a dining area inside the home or in the smallest of yards or gardens. The use of bright colours, surface finish and material give a cool, contemporary edge with minimum effort. 

Because of all the delicious pieces out there at the moment, it seemed only right that I put together this weeks "Five Favourites" - the theme this week being - Bold and Beautiful.
But before this I couldn't help but put together a little mood board, I am so inspired by the bold colour palettes and bright patterns out there at the moment, whether these are found in fashion prints, wall coverings or furniture they each capture the essence of summer and vitality perfectly.

Go get yourself a bright wire chair, throw a colourful tribal pattered cloth over a bistro table and grab yourself a pimms and say hellllllo to summer!

Take a look below at my five favourite finds and see if anything catches your eye.

1. Latitude Chair by Fermob

2. Pampille Parasol by Sywawa

3. Storm Lantern by Toast

4. Rug - Dash and Albert

5. Chinese Sideboard - Orchid Furniture

Hope you enjoy

Hello all,

So here is my next bunch of "five favourites". Being a girl who loves all things textiles, whether it's a cozy throw, some lovely linens or my favourite of all beautiful cushions. I love mix and matching textures and patterns, clashing together colour and print makes any room seem all the more interesting and sprinkled with personality. It is seemingly impossible for me to go into any interior or department store without falling in love with a whole host of cushion covers, these range from traditional gingham's to the more quirky, printed motifs, I just can't get enough. 

Cushions are in my opinion one of the most important and fun accessories for any room, whether they are piled high in an eclectic mix on top of your bed or lovingly placed in a window seat, they can make any room/corner/or spare bit of space seem all the more inviting and comfortable. Not only that but they are without doubt one of the easiest and cheapest ways to update a room, if there is a colour trend or print that you adore but haven't got the time or money to work a whole room around the style, then a collection of cushions can do this for you with minimum effort but maximum effect.

So with this, I have pulled my five favourites below. These are just some of the beauties that are about at the moment! Ranging from mid to high range price points, they are all worthy of a look/buy.

five favourites ...

Hello all,

So tonight I have come to a little decision, amongst trying to organise my folders and the ridiculous amount of images which I collect on a daily basis I thought I should include them in a weekly post called "five favourites".  Each week, hopefully every Tuesday I will post five of my favourite images which I've found throughout the week, these "five favourites" will be based on a theme, colour, trend or anything else which has caught my eye within the last seven days.

So to debut my "five favourites" feature, I've decided to run with the theme from yesterdays post which is print. I am totally obsessed at the moment, an obsession which is only increasing by my daily browsing on Etsy as I'm on the hunt for a pretty print for my bedroom.

Low in behold I have fallen for some lovely pieces, I have my five stand alone favourites below.

1. Mengsel Design

2. Yellow Lion

3. Hannah Lloyd

4. Flat Land Kitchen

5. Bold and Noble

All worthy of getting hung in any room! Delicious.

Enjoy
