My Interior Self

If you were an interior space, what would you be?  A glamorous teal and silver living room like my friend Jules?  A pink whimsical bedroom like my friend Emma, complete with beautiful linen and butterfly wallpaper?  I just came across the above image and was struck by how it totally captures my design alter-ego. The soft palette, the mismatched furniture, the wicker, the oak, the patterned cushion, the window seat, the white walls, the detailing.  I love that the arrangement is a little imperfect, a little quirky and a little lived-in... just like me!

Colour Scheme: Grey, White & Yellow

This is one of my favourite colour combinations used in such a beautiful way in this image. It's a great example of a successful marriage between traditional and contemporary looks... the designer has taken a classic window seat and added a modern table in a contrasting colour and two Bertoia chairs - genius!  I love all the different fabrics used for the cushions, the metallic sheen of the pendant light and the black and white accessories used on the shelves.  Stunning!

Perfect Harmony

I love the simplicity and balance of this scheme.  From the perfect proportions of the furniture, to the understated elegance of the pendant light, the overall effect is stunning.  I also adore the way the fabric colours compliment the outside vista, pulling the eye through the window to the view beyond.

Sweet Window Seats

In our apartment, we have a bank of beautiful windows along the back sunroom that look out over Sydney Harbour - I would kill to have a window seat to curl up on and admire the view.
