Interior Design

Inside this gorgeous East Hampton cottage is a style I love... I have featured the work of interior designers Chango and Co numerous times as I love their style, especially when it comes to a Hamptons look. This gorgeous East Hamptons cottage is the perfect example of their take on modern Hamptons. Textures are important to good design, and Chango have used both traditional woollen Turkish style rugs alongside sisal and jute. Blue and white are the go to colours when it comes to Hamptons and Chango have chosen this palette for the living room using coastal stripes, however the blue and white abstract artwork gives the space a modern feel. Even the entry which features a tradtional style love chair has the addition of a contemporary touch with the large, round hat pegs. Chango have given the  dining room a  more formal look and feel with the use of textured wallpaper, yet they have pared it back by the addition of a sisal/jute rug and the choice of lights. The b...

When I hear the word farmhouse, it conjures up images of a rambling stone building with mullioned windows, muddy boots in the hallway and a bridle alongside the dog lead. However, this couldn't be further from the truth in this light filled, Carolina, Farmhouse. A farmhouse is much about it's location but farmhouse style is something that can be adopted in the city, country or mountains. A style that depicts relaxed, easy living but it doesn't mean it can't be stylish or even have a touch of the Hamptons.  This beautiful farmhouse by architects and interior designers, Wright Design  is the perfect example of a modern day farmhouse and one I am just a wee bit envious of.   It was hard for me to choose one of Wright's designs as every project was so beautiful inside and out. I decided, however, to share this project as I can identify with its style, and the architecture and materials fill it with charm and personality. The beamed ceilings and ship lap walls could have...

The Cotswolds is one of my favourite places to visit in the UK, in fact my mothers sister used to live in a wee cottage in Bourton on the Water, a picture post card village in the most picturesque part of England. I loved wandering around Bourton and the surrounding villages looking at all the quaint cottages and grand manor houses, so when I spotted this Cotswold country house, I couldn't resist sharing it. Siobhan Loates Design is the clever designer behind this stunning restoration. Combining traditional style with contemporary, this historic home has been updated yet still retains character. One downfall for these older homes is small windows which can make them quite dark, however Siobhan has allowed for larger windows in certain areas which have resulted in beautiful, light filled spaces. Siobhan describes this project as a "funky take on traditional". I hope you've enjoyed this beautiful home as much as I've enjoyed sharing it. Have a wonderful weekend, wh...
