Black & White Interiors

Black & white interiors are bang on trend and for this time of the year it feels just perfect. Glamorous, spacious and so sleek it is one of my favourite combinations. For some they may be boring or cold but for me they really light up a room. Here are a selection of some of my favourite spaces.

Interior Inspiration: Muriel's Kitchen

Happy Monday everyone. This weekend I discovered a new place to enjoy my morning breakfast. It is called Muriel's Kitchen, producing high quality organic food. However it wasn't only the food that I was impressed with, it was the lovely interiors. With such a relaxed atmosphere it really felt as if I was visiting my friend in the country and just hanging out in her kitchen. With every single detail thought of, it was simply an enjoyable Saturday morning!

Designer Inspiration: Louise Bradley

I realised the other day that ever since I started blogging I have never mentioned one of my favourite interior designers. I even worked for her, which was a great learning curve. Her name is Louise Bradley, have you heard of her? Louise has got a great eye for balance and detail. Her colour palette is somewhat dreamy and truly exquisite. Being a designer is a talent that just comes naturally to her and it shows.

She is extremely passionate about everything she does which is probably the reason why she is an all time favourite of many. Do have a look at her website to see her portfolio which will blow you away. In London? Make sure to visit her fabulous showrooms.

Inspiring Interiors: Maurice Padovani

I just discovered an interior designer whose work really excites me via Desire to Inspire. His name is Maurice Padovani and he has been an interior designer in Marseilles since 1985. 

Definitely not one to stay stuck in a rut, Maurice has moved with the times producing fabulous modern, eclectic fresh interiors. I am particularly loving these interiors with it's divine wooden finishes, fabulous light fittings, cool pieces of furniture and those stairs are quite something! Definitely a space I wouldn't have trouble living in ;)

Inspiring Creative Work Spaces

I have been contemplating doing up my work space for quite some time now. It's one of those things I have been putting off but I have been collecting ideas in the mean time. It's clear to me the kind of style and feel I want for my place just by looking at all of my favourite images. Crispy clean white walls is a must, white desk tick, and lots of wall space to pin my ideas and inspirations.

I absolutely adore the above work space from Nina from Stylizimo. Its black & white palette is gorgeous and for me those crates are divine. What a fantastic idea for storage and it really softens up the palette. Loving the hanging of all of her inspirations, it is just such a pretty work space.

Another space that I love is from Anna Malin via Decor8. As you can see I am drawn to clean white colours and obvioulsy to that desk, as the base is exactly the same to the previous image, I think they are both from ikea.

I also love this 'industrial' feel space from VT Wonen via Bodie & Fou. Loving those shelves and that pendant light...

Also the two images above via Pinterest have a pretty vintagesque feel to them which I find so appealing. I guess white walls and a white desk is definitely something that falls into my style. I hope to find the time and sort out my work space, once I do I promise to share before and after pictures with all of you :)

Today I'm Loving... Bungalow Hotel

This contemporary boutique hotel in New Jersey is calling out my name! I can almost taste the holiday vibe through these interiors. I'm loving the colour white throughout with pops of bright accents, from their cool extensive range of eclectic artwork. Lots of textures as well and I do love the use of wood throughout! Yes bang on trendy and uber cool I pretty much like Bungalow Hotel!

Inspired By Peacock Pavilions

My time in Marrakesh was purely magical due to the fact that I stayed in the most beautiful and charming place, Peacock Pavilions. I had to share with you some of the images that I took during my holiday. Isn't the place delightful?! Beautifully styled by the incredible Maryam, this place simply took my breath away. Styling comes naturally to Maryam, filling the place up with all her treasurable finds during her travels. I really want to go back there one day with my husband and share this experience with him. It is truly captivating and romantic too...

Happy weekend and lets hope it's a sunny one!

Real Homes: Annaleena

Ever since I have stumbled upon Annaleena's blog I have fallen in love. The most beautifully styled pictures grace her blog, so I just had to share them with you. Isn't her home just gorgeous?! Contemporary mix with vintage finds makes her home so pretty. It doesn't really come as no surprise that Annaleena is a stylist, how I would love to have her style my home any time ;)

A Restored Farmhouse

Hello my lovelies! It's great to be back, wow I have missed blogging on a regular basis so much! Hope you all had a lovely Easter break, I had a fabulous time and feel totally re-energised and relaxed and ready to take on so many exciting projects :) So while I am still reminiscing about my holiday, here are some gorgeous images that I came across of a restored farmhouse in the suburbs of Cremona, Italy. You can see how this house truly has retained its character intact. Completely tailored, it is in complete harmony with the the countryside. Blissful rustic elegance I say, makes me want to go away again ;)
