Modern Romantic Style Decorating ♥

Flowers on the Floor




















Embellish whitewashed floorboards with an intricate floral stencil. Repeat the pattern to create a striking rug effect that’s inexpensive, easy to recreate, simple to update, and totally individual.



Bands of Bold




















Lustrous mosaic stripes add depth and girly glamour to a blush-coloured scheme. The wider the band, the greater the impact


Curtains Up




















Large windows warrant couture treatment to ensure atmosphere and mood. Layer pretty sheers, which filter a milky light, with the voluptuous folds of heavier plain silks


Punk Classics




















Give traditional pieces poptastic punch by reinventing them with unexpected colour. Why not re-cover a wing chair in shocking-pink toile?


Trick it with mirrors


Take inspiration from Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors, but punk up a full-height reflective panel with a rococo frame, painted in a daring colour. Then see who isn’t the fairest one of all...

Stylish Livingroom ♥





Whether you want a vibrant bright living space like the first image or  a calm tranquil space like the second image Elle decor always give you images to "swoon" over.  They have amazing room inspiration for every taste, i especially love the last living room with the mustard armchairs and fabulous geometric cushions,  this living room has a warm earthy feel to it and i love it. The third image has an eclectic feel to it mixing daring pattern and print and I think it pays off.  Happy Sunday x

Lovely Spaces with Stripes ♥

Looking for one of the most daring of interior design ideas? It's stripes! On fabrics and furniture, on walls and floors, stripes can either complement or dominate a room - but both make a beautiful impact. While some homeowners are intimidated by such a bold interior design idea, the rule of thumb is this: a lovely space can't go wrong with stripes.

Outdoors or in, striped throw pillows on a seating bench are very inviting - use just one or even several layered on top of one another.
Gracefully Searching (via)
When placed across a floor, a striped pattern engrained in wood floors or sewn into throw rugs can not only elongate a space but also add some wonderful whimsy.

Striped wallpaper in soft, pretty colours creates a cozy feel in a bedroom. Pair with floral prints for extra pizzazz.
Swoon Worthy (via)
Need a great interior design idea for the plain hallway? Bold stripes in deep blues or intense pinks bring life to these usually-ordinary connecting spaces.

Vertical lines trick the eye into thinking a room is much higher, which is a playful effect in a child's room, particularly when painted on just one accent wall.

A fun interior design idea for the commode is stripes in calming organic shades - it's both stylish and elegant with black and white tiles.
Play up a themed nursery by incorporating stripes into the decor - they'll help to complete the look of the room. Avoid overcrowding by keeping the floors and ceiling monochromatic.
Eclectic Revisited (via)

Stripes almost always work in a sophisticated dining room, both sideways and applied up-and-down. Hang framed artwork and create a wall with "wow" factor.

Home Inspiration ♥



Im in love with this floral bedspread and amazing aluminium drum side table from graham & green.  Bit out my price range really with a new baby on the way and a broken washing machine and tumble dryer, couldnt justify £168 for a side table that looks lovely but has no other function than that really, but would be lovely.  Typical everything breaks at the same time lol.  Well i love them and even if i cant have them i can still admire, was still thinking about spray painting an old piece of tree trunk with aluminium spray to see how that turned out, havent got round to it yet, so much to do and not enough time!
