Live Breathe Decor

I love the contrast in this house between black/white and pale/ dark neutrals. A simple linen bed with trimmed linen, white chair, natural flooring and a touch of nickel is perfection..

The touches of red lend a retro pop to the otherwise classic ‘Hamptons’ style. I’ve said it before, but there’s nothing better to me than a beautiful view through spaces and rooms. I love this view across classic chequered black and white flooring into a light-filled living room (above).

This old-fashioned idea of having the dining table in the kitchen space really appeals to me – no getting stuck in the kitchen and missing all the fun! Plus I love the communal family living that this arrangement lends itself to; weekend cooking, paper reading and homework all happening in the same space. The French chairs look great here and love the pendants.

Check out that ceiling! And the gorgeous symmetrical windows. In fact, this whole room is about symmetry! It’s the dark/light thing that I like here. I always think if you work in layers of dark and light you can’t go wrong.

Love the central table that divides this long room – amazing how flowers or greenery always bring things to life isn’t it?
