home: trend [ bold wallpapers ]

Another summer where we see bold wallpapers as a strong trend with floral, geometric and tropical patterns appearing most popular in designs.

These bold papers can be worked in two main styling methods. Either in a minimally styled room with no clutter, few accessories and just using the busy, bold wallpaper on one wall; or embracing a more complicated, layered look that uses multiple patterns and colours on purpose with excess accessories to create a bohemian, eclectic strong look.

(Above : Cole + Son Hicks Grand / SelectWallpaper £76 • Graham + Brown Colourful Geometric / House of Fraser reduced to £48 )

Big bold geometric patterns can be a modern or retro look. They sit well with clean white paint work and furniture as well as light woods like oak, beech or teak.

(Above : Holden Decore Bird of Paradise / IWantWallpaper reduced to £24.99 • Tropics Pindorama Floral / PriceRightHome £12.49 )

Mixing tropical and floral patterns is a beautiful strong idea. Colour match the colour tones but mix and match the flower patterns, size of illustrations and continue through cushions, curtains, throws and other accessories to bring together a vibrant look to excite the senses.

home: made [ lampshade plant stand ]

This is probably the most simple project we have featured. There are only three steps to create this cool plant stand, made from the wire frame of a lampshade.

Step one: Choose the shade size you want [ make sure the frame connects at the top and bottom ]. Pick one with an interesting shape and perhaps choose a few in different sizes.

Step two: Remove the fabric shade & cut off any excess parts you don’t need using wire cutters.

Step three: Spray the frame whatever colour you like and then ta da…its done!

We think these plant stands look best in black or white for a monochrome finish. But of course the choice is yours.

home: featured [ Corey Homeware ]

Found on the historic Roman Road, East London we find Corey Homeware. Opened in 2015,this boutique homeware and furniture store has a lovely, constantly changing curated selection of pieces sourced from the UK and further a field.

We love their eye for unique pieces with both a modern and industrial edge.

They say, ‘The idea behind the shop is to offer a treasure trove of modern design at realistic prices. I am a local resident with a passion for interiors. Originally working as a teacher, I spent years being frustrated at the lack of affordable homeware. Each weekend would see a trip to seek out interior shops across the capital only to be disappointed by the choice and shocked by the price. I felt so strongly about it that I decided to put my passion into practice and open my own homeware shop right on my doorstep.’

home: trend [ industrialism ]

It will always be a firm favourite with interior fans and designers; the industrial look is really accessible and is great mix with other trends including Mid Century and Scandi and of course you can bring in any paint colours you like.

This year it’s having a resergence in online stores with more and more choices for you to bring the industrial look to your home.

The key materials for this look are brushed metals, concrete, cork and wood. Exposed bulbs instead of using lamp shades, and wire and mess shelving units bring the look together. It’s very simple to achieve and you can go as far as you like with it.

If you are looking for inspiration and love reading about other peoples interiors we cannot recommend enough Urban Pioneer by Sara Emslie. The converted warehouse spaces she features in her book are the perfect way to be inspired and look at how you can achieve a similar design in your home.

home: made [ outdoor patio stencilling ]

Looking to great a new look for the garden or update a patio? Pushing the trend for outdoor rugs further we love the idea of stencilling patterns or designs directly onto a patio or decking.

By using stencils (or freehand if very creative) you can produce a unique, look for an outdoor area – choosing from styles including geometric, Moroccan, ethnic, bohemian or midcentury.

We found some great sites offering tutorials and design ideas of how to achieve these looks including The House Of Wood, Cutting Edge Stencils, and Stencil Search.
