My Latest Prop Styling Work: Spring Planting

Styling by Will Taylor | Photography by James Balston

For my latest Rue magazine column I styled a story about quirky ways to plant this spring. From a fun addition to your kitchen windowsill to a romantic idea for a party centrepiece, I was keen to demonstrate simple, yet striking ways to display plants. I really enjoyed the shoot and still smile everytime I see that delightful teapot! You can read my column and see the shoot in full here. Also, huge thanks to the very lovely James who I worked with on the shoot. Check out his portfolio - you won't be disappointed!

Prop Stylist: Scott Horne

I've always been interested in the extras. You know, the little things in life. When I go clothes shopping I go straight to the accessories section and similarly with home stores, where I tend to bypass the furniture floor (clearly I head back after!) opting for the lighting, ceramics or textiles areas first. The ability to change up the feel of a room with a flutter of new accessories is considerable. Switching the lampshade on your reading lamp or alternating your pillow covers can inject new life into a scheme with little outlay or effort. That's why I'm so impressed by the work of New York City-based Prop Stylist Scott Horne. His portfolio demonstrates an excellent attention to detail, whilst his ability to bring colour into a space is inspired. Not only does he sprinkle his styling sparkle in interiors, he kinda rocks food styling as well. Check this dude out!
