IDEAL HOME SHOW COMPETITION

It is that time of the year where a lot of Design shows are slowly approaching us, personally I get very excited about the new trends, designs and actually seeing the latest collection to inspire me not only of my blog but in my job as an Interior Designer.I have collaborated with Thomas Sanderson to let two of my readers experience visiting a show!! Excitement is building at Thomas Sanderson as their team of expert designers put the finishing touches to their show-stopping presence at this year’s Ideal Home Show (running from 18th March – 3rd April 2016 in London). Thomas Sanderson is the main sponsor of A Traditionally British Home, one of the full size houses within the show, which we’ve styled in conjunction with celebrity designer Linda Barker.

NYC INSPIRED LOFT APARTMENTS

Small yet beautiful spaces where you feel at home. I personally absolutely love the not so spacious NYC inspired loft apartments. Theres something unique & beautiful about them. Despite them not always being fully furnished as some may say for instance as in the first photo below I absolutely love the simple decor. The second apartment has slightly different industrial approach to it whilst still having a homey feel to it. The brick wall has a specific look to the apartment which I am very fond of.

The photo below shows a more homey / modern approach to the loft apartment inspired look , once again absolutely stunning with a simple colour palette and slight pop of colour.

The photo above shows a slightly subtle approach on the inside brick wall look, its a lot softer yet still beautiful. A NYC apartment or somewhat inspired lichees is somewhere I would like to live at at some point or have the chance to decorate being a designer myself. 

What are your thoughts on NYC inspired apartments?

SOFASOFA – FLYING THE FLAG FOR BRITISH MANUFACTURING SINCE 198

Personally I feel that Interior Design and Fashion go hand in hand together, both world's have constantly changing trends, styles etc. and both are pretty tricky to keep up with as there are new designs and style evolving everyday.

Let's Talk Sofa's today.. In particular a manufacturer called SofaSofa now before I proceed any further no they are not just another retailer , what makes the unique is that their furniture it is all manufactured in their workshops by their expert craftsmen.

Being an Interior designer and having experience in the industry it is fair to say buying direct from the manufacturer has many benefits of which most important is undoubtedly price as SofaSofa said themselves. SofaSofa is a British company which will allow you buy a sofa at a competitive price however still providing with you with a high quality piece designed to last you for years.

Here are some of the many styles that SOFASOFA provide which of all I think are all beautiful and could dress your lounge, snug or office room within your house.
