Gorgeous Details in Pink

 

Today I'm swooning over these pretty details in pink.

I have filled my new house with beautiful things 
in my favourite colour pink.

These images inspired me with my collections of 

bowls, books, flowers, paintings and art d'objets.

Family Heirlooms

 

 

 

I love the idea of family heirlooms

passed from one generation to the next.

They always tell a story and 

they are full of soul, personality and history

I treasure my grandmother's tea set that she left me.

Colourful Details

I am addicted to colour!

It's just as well as I'm a designer because I get to work with it all day long so I get my daily fix! However as much as I like colour I generally like it tightly controlled, well coordinated and in small doses. I generally like neutral spaces - white or cream walls and low key flooring then splashes of colour for the details and accessories. Even small amounts of colour can be uplifting and have the power to totally change a room. 

Look at the impact that these small colourful details have on these spaces.

Country Style Details

The thing that gives a home that lived in, loved feel is all in the details.

I always find that when decorating a client's house the thing that is the hardest to get right and takes the longest are the details - 'the bits and pieces'. But for me, it's the attention to details that makes a house  : the cushions, the flowers, the quirky vintage finds, the antiques, the displays and the collections that give a home soul and personality.

It's All In The Details

For me interior design is all about attention to detail. I think the easiest part is to get the overall look and theme but what's often overlooked is the detail. To finish off a job properly one needs to consider artwork and decorator items that sit on mantels, coffee tables, kitchen bench tops and sideboards. It often takes me longer to find the right accessories than furnish the whole house! Here are some very sweet vintage details that give these spaces character and personality!
