“My upstairs cup of tea / reading spot. When you’re not looking down at your book – all you see are trees and jungle. It’s my favourite room in the house.”
“Over the years I have developed a less is more approach to styling. I am drawn to a contemporary Australian aesthetic but I am influenced by a combination of styles and have a soft spot for Scandinavian design and Moroccan flair.”
The Swedish string shelving system has been used in replace of a windowsill and melts into the back ground. But my favourite piece has to be the pink Moroccan rug – how pretty is that? Happytapis sells similar (just saying!).
A white hanging chair, leather pouf and Rubber plant have been used to create the perfect reading corner! Having said that, we used to have a hanging bubble chair in our sitting room and these things are a total kids magnet!
“For me, it all comes down to pieces that I love and finding a balance between styles – a little masculine with a balance of feminine.”
I can’t get enough of these rattan hallway benches right now, how about you? There are plenty in the shops right now (this one is from Elements Concept in Singapore) but I’ve got my eye on some of the one-off vintage ones too, like this fabulous mid-century modern love seat. Keep an eye on Etsy, Gumtree and Ebay for similar!
“There is something to be said for beautifully crafted well designed pieces and I prefer to practice patience and wait for the right piece than to quickly buy something to fill a space and then regret it. I really believe that creating a beautifully styled home takes time.”
The soft pink accent seen in the rest of the house is carried through to the bedroom using cushions and art. In the guest room (below) ‘The King of Potreus’ flower adds a hint of soft pastel.
And finally, Pip’s room is as pretty as can be – with One Fun Day wallpaper and fairy lights.
