Into Red!

There is a quote by Bill Blass that says "Red is the ultimate cure for sadness." - and how can it not be?! It brings so much spirit to wherever it is.

Red is becoming quite popular lately! It's being used as an accent colour in a lot of different spaces. It brings a huge dynamic to any area that can potentially look lifeless and adds a lovely inviting sense to the space. I found a few examples of how red can be used as an accent! Check out the pictures below!

Wallpaper = Good

I know when most people hear the word "wallpaper" they usually cringe. And yes, that's fine - I do understand why. Wallpaper was really popular years ago, and then it disappeared for ages and nobody wanted anything to do with it because they thought it made all spaces look ugly and dated.

But over the past few years, wallpaper is starting to make it's come back. And honestly, I wasn't a fan at first, but now I'm starting to see the light. Instead of having a room covered from head to toe in hideous floral patterns, designers have started using wallpaper to accent prominent features in a room. You also have the option now of buying wallpaper that is way more pleasing to the eye - it comes in all colours, designs, shapes, patterns - whatever you like! I have to say, I believe it creates just enough impact without overwhelming the space and it can look absolutely gorgeous.

To prove my point, I found some great examples for you all to take a look at. Hopefully these pictures will convert some of the wallpaper haters.


















Did I convert anyone??
