home: trend [ new Nordic ]

It’s calming and quiet, with soft tones of greys, pink, sage green and lilac. The new Nordic trend has the usual Scandi feel but with more relation to the earth with textures of leather, wood and influences from global prints.

Don’t over complicate with too much fuss but choose pieces with purpose and need. Keep minimal but textured for a warmer less clinical environment.

It’s coming up to that time of year again. The ‘C’ word is getting closer.

The wreath is a symbol of Christmas and one of the first decorative items to start appearing on homes in the lead up to the big day.

Beautifully crafted ones aren’t cheap to buy so if you want to invest and have the satisfaction of making your own why not try a wreath making class? Be taught by the professionals and come away with a beautiful wreath ready to adorn your front door.

Head to EVENTBRITE and explore by area to find a class near you!

We spotted these quirky lampshades on oliverbonas.com and think they are pretty cool. The retro vibe pattern will make a happy and bright addition to any home.

The lamps come in three different hand drawn designs and are a great size to sit as bedside lamps or on a little corner table in a living room.

There is also a large floor lamp available if you fancy going a bit bolder.
