Now that’s an eye-catching double bed. My favourite thing about this room is the mixture of bare brick walls and striking modern furniture, it creates a quirky, eclectic feel.

Simply stylish

December 31, 2008

I know Christmas is over, but i couldn’t help but notice how effortlessly stylish this simple scheme is. An old curtain was updated for the doorway by lengthening it with a band of fabric, and candles create a welcoming feel all year round.

I like to be relaxed in a home office, yet keep things formal enough to concentrate. The patterned aubergine wallpaper in this scheme adds colourful interest without becoming a distraction – and I could sit at that stylish metal desk all day!

Modern update

December 31, 2008

I love the country-style look, and this kitchen gives it a fresh modern twist. White-painted cabinets and tongue-and-groove panelling are teamed with black granite worktops and metal handles to create a sophisticated mix of old and new.

Oriental influence

Statement wallpaper like this berry red Oriental-style design can be overpowering, so team it with neutral fabrics and pared-down furniture for a more contemporary look.

Subtly seasonal

December 23, 2008

Don’t want to go overboard with your dining room Christmas decorations? This scheme looks just as good with a small tree in the corner and a pretty floral centrepiece. I love that geometric ceiling light, too.

I’d love a fireplace like this in my bathroom.  It gives such a luxurious feel to the room.  The ornate mirror and cluster of candles are great finishing touches.

Shades of grey

December 18, 2008

Cool, calm and collected, one of my favourite things about this monochrome bedroom are the polka dot curtains. They match the cushions and throw perfectly, and give the room a sophisticated feel.
