PACK YOUR BAGS..WE ARE OFF...

Happy Monday all you designers out there. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. Well... just to keep you all updated.... I have decided to do a theme throught the week. If I happen to see something shiny and new I will be like a magpie and pick up the info and share it with all you wonderful people. So I hear you all cry what will this weeks theme be based on...(drum roll please....).
ROUND THE WORLD. I thought we could all go travelling so padlock lock the suitcase, put on your sunscreen and remember to take your passport......
Today willl be in my home country. Bonnie SCOTLAND!!!

ABOVE: This warm and inviting retreat, may seem full of furniture but due to the colour scheme of warm tones like the reds, warms oranges and oak  furniture. The curtains are double layered to keep the heat in on those cold winter evenings. They are on tie backs which is becoming a very country vintage look at the moment. Ambient lighting is also key in your space of peace and ease. So work out where there may be a dark corner and consider your bulb selection, even a terracota bulb may just give a cosy feel. Keep the colours to minimum but keep the area interesting. For example with the tartan drop down behind the bed. Makes a change from a headboard.  A few loose, worn rugs which you could pick up from  second hand shops, antiques shops or even a car boot sale can just finish off the room.

ABOVE: Decorate with colours inspired by the beauty of the Scottish landscape. As seen here the sandy tones give a neutral spot to show the matching colours on the chair and stairs. Finishing touches like simple wooden or oak table and scottish landscape paintings certainly give a point of focus. A broad landing is the perfect spot for a chair dressed in a large-scale check. The chair fabric is made by BUSBY and BUSBY.

ABOVE: This collect just gives you some ideas and inspiration if you wish to give yor room that warm highland feel. For example tartan throws for the suite or bed, doorstops, footrests and etchings or paintings of for the wall all can start you on your thoughts and at the end of the day sit back relax, put your feet up by the log fire and have a well deserved sip of a full on 12 year old malt.
