colour me happy ...

Hello all,

So as we can't rely on the brightness of the summer sunshine as the weather is somewhat schizophrenic at the moment I've decided to bring my own bit of sunshine to the table through weekly "colour me happy" posts.

As colour is the driving force to most of my design inspiration it makes sense for me to dedicate a weekly post  to my favourite colours and combinations. I'll be using inspirational images to showcase the colours/combinations along with selecting products currently on the market which use the colour(s). 

So here goes.

Lovely interior inspiration, from small introductions of colour to statement art work and furniture, this colour combination is fresh and contemporary.

Below I have selected some products which use these colours, if you don't fancy painting an entire wall one of these statement colours why not use a few of these products to implement this colour combination without having to commit to painting or wallpapering a room.

telephone -  Aria

shower curtain - Marimekko

floor mirrors - Graham and Green

chair - Graham and Green

Enjoy

well being for the home ...

Hello again,

I just had to post about a company that I fell in love with around about February this year, a company whom I've just been reminded of as a postcard of theirs which I use a bookmark is in serious need of replacing. With the company fresh in my mind I popped onto their website to check out their annual catalogue and my love for them grew to even greater heights.

So whats the name of this beautiful company I hear you ask.... it's the Danish created House Doctor. 

House Doctor offers furniture and interior design products which would make any home feel better. I first discovered House Doctor when I attended the Spring Fair International, there were thousands of stands and stalls for companies and retailers and after trawling around far too many of these I found my saving grace in House Doctor, it utterly blew me away.

Not only was their stall a master piece, in fact describing it as a stall seems somewhat insulting. Their space which was lovingly styled showcased their brand identity perfectly, from showcasing key products and impressive pieces of furniture to arranging beautiful home accessories in a natural and artistic way, I was hooked from the onset.

I took far too many photos, grabbed a hefty wad of their postcards and even went as far as telling the House Doctor representative how taken I was by their products and styling.

I've always been a huge fan of Danish styling and the products which House Doctor offer go hand in hand with the contemporary, stylish ethos of Danish interior design and living.

So below I have pulled and paired up some of my absolute favourite images from their catalogue, there were just so many (148 pages of loveliness to be exact) that you're lucky that I haven't used every single one.

So please, indulge in the beautiful styling and products which the fabulous Home Doctor offers.

Enjoy

I wish...

Whilst in Shrewsbury on the weekend I stumbled across a shop ( be it the shop window as we were driving past on the way to the wedding ceremony) called Vinegar Hill. I didn't have the chance to go in however as soon as I got in I searched to see whether they were online. And to my delight they were. From the products, to the visual merchandising, colour schemes and layout... well I adore it all. If I were to have my own shop (fingers crossed in the future this will be a reality) I would take great inspiration from this store. Its inviting, individual and seems easy to shop in. Turns out that there are 6 Vinegar Hill stores spotted about in the UK, Shrewsbury, Bath, Bristol, Stratford (x2) and Cheltenham. I am dying to go back to Shrewsbury and have the chance to actually go in-store instead of falling in love whilst only whizzing past.

To help you understand why I am so enthusiastic and smitten with this store I have pulled some images from their website (which by the way is a little piece of art in itself!)
