Colourful Swedish Kitchen

This kitchen space makes me one super duper happy chap. A divine slice of Sweden mixed with playful pops of colour, it's uplifting decor and bright, airy atmosphere makes for a winning combination. I can just imagine myself living in this kitchen: In the week I'd spend my mornings tap, tap, tapping away on my macbook, perched on the Tolix stools and fresh coffee brewing to my left. Afternoons would be spent whipping up a quick supper as the day's final rays beamed down onto the geometric floor. Then, come the weekend, the macbook would be swapped for the weekend papers and the Magi Mix would be thrown into action. Basically, this kitchen kinda rocks.

Home Tour: The Fabric of Home

Tag Craft Fabric Home Tour Red

These days the mere sight of open shelving sends me weak at the knees. Who knows what is it, but something about the effortless, relaxed style they create appeals to me. You'll understand, then, why I jumped for joy upon finding the wonderfully creative home of Constanca. Colourful, crafty and bubbling over with personality, Concha's British home is testament to her love of all things handmade, which you can read about in the about section of her blog. This tour of her space is filled with both easy, and useful, tips for using fabric around the home. From colour coordinated jam jar toppers to screens and chair backs, Concha really has crafted her home by hand. In fact, I think it's charming how coloured fabrics stored in glass-fronted cabinets have become the decorative accessories to her home. So, even before the fabrics are used, they are already a central part of her space.

Colour Cocktail: Midnight Blue and Tomato Red

Tag Blue Colour cocktail Red

Hark! There's a new couple on the block and they're mixing things up with their seductive red style. Rumour has it that they swished into number thirty two carrying cushions, throws and art works dripping with new britannic style. Already deep navy blue fabrics teamed with glossy tomato reds have been spotted glimmering through their upstairs windows so number thirty one won't be the most stylish on this block for long. So, guys and gals, it's time to step up the game and order a double round of new britannics!

Home Tour: Glossy Brights

Tag Black Home Tour Preppy Red Turquoise Yellow

If I was going to host a tea party (hey, tea can be cool!) then you can bet your bottom dollar I'd host it in this delightful home. Photographed by Stellan Herner this vibrant home has Bright.Bazaar style stamped all over it. In the bedroom a glossy red chest offsets smooth turquoise accents, whilst black base shades help to turn an art wall into a striking statement in the dining area. There are bright, preppy hues aplenty but notice how red hues are used throughout to ensure that the different spaces remain connected. Clever use of patterned textiles serve to elongate a narrow corridor, whilst sharp lines on the wardrobe give the illusion of higher ceilings. However, for Mr.B, the real star is the kitchen decor. It holds a wonderful air of whimsy, don't you think?

{Red}

Tag Bright colours Colour inspiration Red

Red is a funny one for me. I grew up loving it (a whole wall in my bedroom was dedicated to it) but in recent years it has fallen out of favour with my interior tastes. I'm not too sure why, but what I do know is that it pops up quite regularly in decor schemes and for some is a must have colour in their homes. If introduced as a surprise pop then I do find myself liking red, but I'm still finding it hard to rekindle the fondness I held for it as a child. Still, I wouldn't say no to the sophisticated yet laid back living room (1) and the two dining rooms (2, 6) are certainly schemes that call out to me. Do you like decorating with red?

{Bright Blooms #6}

Tag Bright Blooms Poppies Red

Normally this feature is about documenting my journey of experimenting and learning about decorating homes with flowers, but this week I couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous red poppies from my garden with you. It was a gloriously sunny day, the sky so blue you wanted to swim in it, which framed this group of red poppies perfectly. Seeing these sway peacefully in the light breeze made my day!

Red And Yellow Mums

Tag Flowers Mums Nature Red Wallpaper Yellow

Took this one in my neighborhood just today... I believe these flowers are Mums, but you can correct me if I am wrong. I have a feeling it won't be too long before these Mums are snow covered.

Red And Yellow Flowers

Tag Flowers Macro Marigold Nature Red Yellow

I should really know what kind of flower this is since I have seen it around quite a bit, but sorry I just don't. Perhaps you know what kind of flower this is...

Update: Thanks to a comment on another post I now know that these are Marigolds. Thanks to Alan!
