Decorex had so many talented designers and great products that I just have to share my final two picks from this year's show! This is going waaaay beyond high street shopping and looking at real statement features. I can't wait to show you! Juliet Travers stood out for me with such an interesting range of fabrics and wallpapers. All the designs are hand drawn by Juliet, and having launched their first collection at Decorex 2013, they have been on the road to success already selling in many countries. How could they not though, with such exceptionally fun and intriguing designs! One of my favourites is the Nakuru from the Safari Collection, a beautiful interpretation of the Flamingos from Lake Nakuru...
I have already mentioned in my previous post how Decorex 2015 presented endless options for wallcoverings. Yet, there are some that really stood out, and definitely did not disappoint! Sian Zeng was one of them! What an amazing eye-catching collection with a great differential. We have probably all heard of magnetic paint before, and how it is very popular amongst kids bedrooms or play rooms, offices, even kitchens. This was the first time I saw magnetic wallpaper though. And I loved it! #musthaveit In their own words: "Sian Zeng’s magnetic woodlands wallpaper is a wonderfully whimsical adventure into an enchanted forest of surreal and extraordinary fairy tale creatures. Experience the joy of bringing narrative and fantasy to life in...
I recently visited Decorex, THE place to be to discover the best and most coveted luxury products in the Interior Design world. It basically is paradise for great design, amazing talent, and fresh interior decor ideas all under one roof. There was so much to see and so much to take in! A few observations... There was a LOT of wall covering stands. Understandably so, and they are getting more innovative every year! Also, if you are thinking of starting a business in wall coverings, BEWARE there is a lot of competition out there. Really, a lot so you need to do something different to stand out. I have found a few that did, as you'll see! The same goes for fabrics. Upholstering, soft furnishings, curtains. Even...
Last week Dulux has revealed the colour of the year for 2016. And Cherished Gold it is! Last year's was copper blush, so it stays firmly within the trend of warm metallic colours. It is great to see gold and tones of gold being used more often, I am really drawn to gold accessories (as you can see here!) and it adds a certain sophistication to a room. It is still flexible though, combine it with dark colours (thought of navy? emerald green?) and it's pure glam, pair it with light colours and it's more casual. How about grey, blacks & whites? You get an edgy trendy room décor! Having seen it pop up as the colour of 2016, just reminded me of...
This post is about using gift wrapping paper to decorate multiple rooms in the house, and in many different ways! Have you thought of that? It first occurred to me when I was shopping for stationary and I saw a beautiful paper on display, and I instantly thought 'I could actually frame that!' It is a very affordable way to change the look in your rooms and add bags of style! Since then I have been looking for ideas and also for wrapping paper out there with the most potential to be used as decoration. Here's some of the best I found: I love these from Notonthehighstreet.com, there's so much you could do with it! Framing, decoupage, covering storage boxes.The colours on these...
