Take Your Pick: Illustrative Town Wallpapers

1. Sanderson's St. Ives | 2. A Sunday in Paris; red/blue or yellow/silver

I love that wallpaper continues its bold resurgence into interiors with each seasonal collection. Today I thought I would share two designs (well, technically three if we count the colourway options of the second but let's roll with two) that have caught my eye recently. The first, St Ives, by Sanderson comes in this bright and vibrant pink/cream colourway that would be ideal for a downstairs toilet or playroom. The second paper is called A Sunday in Paris and is my favourite (potentially due to my recent trip to Paris!). Depicting a playful weekend day in the city, the design is full of movement, activity and intrigue. Which wallpaper gets your vote, folks?

Colour Cocktail: The Copper Twist

Deep, dark and seductive with shimmering copper undertones The Copper Twist is the colour cocktail to order when it comes to decorating entertaining spaces. Perfect for setting a romantic and intimate mood, the marriage of a glamorous jet black back hue with a timeless copper accent works wonders in dining rooms. Be generous with your use of the noir shades, working them into the walls and furniture only breaking them occasionally with crisp white. Then, serve the space straight up with a twist of copper and caramel hues to garnish the space: in a pendant, a standalone vase, a leather chair and so on. Try this next time you redo your dining space and you'll be left wishing you'd ordered two Copper Twists straight up!

Spring Trends: Upbeat, Elements, Traveller

So you know you want to redecorate (or, perhaps, just decorate!) but with the sheer volume of ideas out there you can't help but feel overwhelmed with where to start. That's where narrowing down your ideas and inspirations to a handful of themes or trends can help tie your scheme together. And these three schemes from Good Homes magazine are ideal for doing just that. The first, Upbeat, is a playful and colourful scheme with preppy polka dots gracing the walls. I love the colour block legs on the Jonas Klien stool and the triangle print cushion. Elements, the second trend, is more pared back than the first, where texture really comes to the forefront of the design. My favourite part of this look has to be the combination of tactile linens and rustic wooden surfaces. In the final trend, Traveller, we see how culture has inspired a marriage of striking prints and bold hues that result in a graphic finish. Eclectic and earthy, this trend is versatile enough to add and minus accessories as you go. Which trend do you like best?
