The Connaught Hotel is located in the fashionable district of Mayfair Village in London. The penthouse suite is The Apartment, an airy and inviting design by David Collins.

The Beach House

Beach House Accessories

 

What do you think of when you hear beach home? Do you imagine organic shapes? Linen fabrics and sisal carpets? Natural stone in the form of tiling or accessories? There are so many fun textures you can play up in this style; like the Large Napoleon knot mat, or pebble mosaic tiles in a shower floor. Small details like an agate stone lamp finial really play up the cool inviting tones of this serene look.

Downton Abbey Paintings

Downton Abbey Painting Sybil Eva Robertson

Lemon Drop Accessories

lemon drop accessories

A color I am hoping to see more of this year is the wonderful citrus hue: yellow! There is a progression of more gold used in interior design, and the warmth of lemon adds a youthful vibrancy that nicely balances the maturity and glamorousness of gold. Aren’t those just the happiest colors you have seen today? The lucite tray can be found here at Etsy, the lamp is the same one shown above by Jan Showers, and the Montecito Yellow Embroidered cushion is by Layla Grace.

Eclectic Kitchen by SieMatic

Siematic Beaux Arts Kitchen

SieMatic Kitchens have raised a very good proposition with this kitchen design; why choose one type of cabinet for the entire kitchen? All other rooms in a home are filled with coordinating pieces of differing styles, textures and colors to reach your desired effect, so why not in the kitchen? See the glossy ebony walnut of the fridge/ pantry, the matte lacquered finish of the lower cabinets, and then the polished chrome framed uppers. This kitchen is from their Beau Arts line.
