Friday’s Fetish: Decorating palm spring style

Anyone seen the latest issue of Livingetc? Mine landed firmly on my desk this morning, and what a lovely flash of present day (it’s Christmas press show season!) decorating inspiration it was … well, almost was…

Check out these 1950s Palm Springs-inspired decorating schemes. Packed with the vibrancy and glamour you’d associate with Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra‘s weekend oasis/playground! I can safely say I won’t be going for this look in my home BUT I do love them in a ‘I want every day to bright and party-filled’ kind of way! Definitely inspiring for modern decorating lovers!

For grown-up glam, use flashes of feather-boa pink set against a white background…

Create a sun-soaked, upbeat space with geometric yellow bands. Tip – offsetting the stripes creates an op-art version of glinting sun, while gradually widening them opens up the room at head height!

This living room has such a swing beat vibe – Martinis are a MUST!
