So why do so many of us approach our living environments with such a serious and fixed manner?
With the obsession of magnolia and the patterned feature wall. TV as the focal point with all surrounding furniture matching, having being bought all at the same time during a manic over haul change of style, which won't change until the next total redecoration job.
OK, rant over, but I have a point.
I only say this because I recently over heard a lady saying how she has done all her finished decorating so that's that's, nothing else needed!
I find this attitude quite frustrating because I don't believe you ever need to draw a line under a room and say it's done. The constant alterations and reinvention is what keeps day to day life interesting. So why not apply this to your home?
A whole paint job can be exhausting and expensive, but just by altering the little details keep things fresh. Whether this is a change of lamp, cushions/reupholster, art work, or painting some worn furniture.
However I think we need to encourage having fun with interiors, playing with colour, pattern and form, injecting a bit of tounge in cheek into our worlds.
Don't just think 'fun' style is for kids play rooms but enjoy the benefits into the more grown up rooms. And why not! Life is too short to be conventional so take a look at my inspired interiors to show that taking a risk whilst decoration can bring some style and a smile to your home.
