Tropical Vacation

 

 

Today I'm in the mood for a little escapism.
As I head to the beach on this blustery, wintery day
wrapped up my scarf, beanie and wintery woollies ~
I'm dreaming of an island paradise
where there's cocktails at sunset
days spent at resort pools and 
afternoons spent in a hammock
getting lost in a good book!

Natural Modern Style

As the name suggests 'natural modern' is a interior design style that combines the use of recycled furniture with natural sustainable finishes, natural fibres like hemp, jute, sisal and linen, textures instead of patterns, taupe, off-whites and neutral earthy colours and lots of timber. 

It is also a change of mindset for consuming less, choosing environmentally friendly finishes, fittings and materials and breathing new life into unloved furniture.

Long Island Seaside Chic

 

This beach house in Long Island bursts with sunny freshness.

The colour combination of the yellow and aqua

is fun and playful ~ creating a happy vibe.

I think being surrounded by these bright colours 

you would feel like you were permanently on holidays!

Ralph Laurene's Latest Home Collection 'Point Dune' is a modern, tranquil interpretation of  Ralph Lauren's iconic love of seaside living featuring rich wood, clean architectural lines and an elegant palette of crisp whites, tan, cream and chocolate. I am loving this chic laid back sense of luxury!

Natural Details

 

There are so many imaginative and creative ways to 
introduce some natural elements into your home.
Here are some great ideas to add a little texture ~
think driftwood lamps,
straw baskets, woven African artefacts
sisal rugs, recycled timber,
chunky knitted cushions and wool throws, 
Natural materials like cane, rattan and bamboo
also works a treat for feature furniture pieces.

I love those hanging chairs - they are amazing!
