White Inspiration from Home Life Mag

I love, love, love white decor or in fact, neutral interiors (on the other hand I adore vibrant colour ....) but anyway, let's stick with what we've got ... here is a selection of great indoors all from a white background perspective and livened up with natural elements and touches of soft colour..... Hmmm... think it's time for a makeover!

Flag Statement

this seems to be the latest trend in quirky interiors - using the

Union Jack for tablecloths,  upholstery, scatters cushions etc. -

introducing  a shot of vibrant primary colour as well as

strong geometric lines

I love that it brings fun and humor and I suppose a talking point into a room.  

What about you - do you like this new trend?

Living in a White Space

I've always adored a "clean", white or neutral space, where one can bring to the fore textures and pattern to create a really interesting and inspiring living space.   These examples are what I'm talking about.   The upholstery, the throw the dark wood african drum table, texture on the floors and walls ....

whiteashed wooden floors, interesting mats, rugs and other items to create a welcoming entrance ....

books and more interesting objects, dark wooden stools .... all working together to make a really lovely home.

In fact, I'm finding that the more I explore white or neutral spaces, the more my love of them evolves and the more I want to create spaces like that for me too!!

The Red Wall

I just love this red wall and so wish Iwas brave enough to paint a wall, just one wall in such a vibrant colour.  It works and it's fun...
