(interior) style file - it's in the detail

Making a space your own is all in the details - those touches that infuse a room with your personality and reflect your style.

This dining room is the perfect example of a white interior that feels neither clinical nor minimal. The freshness of the room is softened with texture (the lovely old lace panel on the lampshade), the casual intimacy of the round table, and of course the beautiful vintage collection of glassware and plates. The mismatch of objects works because of the tonal colour elements. The bright white surfaces highlight the beauty of the individual pieces in the collection, & the grouping of pink and red adds harmony to the vignette.

I love the grouping of plates on the wall, the simplicity of the flowers, and the use of everyday objects, as well as treasured collectables to create the gorgeous overall decorative effect.
Do you have everyday objects that could inspire a beautiful new display in your home? Time to see what's lurking in the back of those cupboards...

  1. This is very me. I do love white interiors,but must admit they require more attention to detail to ensure they dont end up clinical, cold or boring. The raspberry shades are so pretty in this room, rosy and warming.

  2. One of my all time FAVORITE spaces. The first time I saw Liza Giles flat I nearly died of heavenly overload. (Smile)
