Live Breathe Decor

I’ve really been contemplating shades of purple and blue today (I’ll explain why in tomorrow’s post), and sifting through the photos on my computer looking for inspiration. They’re not purple or blue, but check out the white herringbone floors (above), I’m smitten! And I love this little area with purple ikat wingback chairs in the corner of a (rather grand) bedroom – what a way to have breakfast!

There’s something about the way those black and white cushions and the shape of that coral lamp look with the purples that really appeals to me (above).

What a fabulous use of pastels! I like the way only one colour has been used in various shades in each room here (above). And I loooove that green velvet chair in the foreground!

This is why wallpaper in unexpected places like bathrooms is so much fun! I love this purple and silver wallpaper and the clear (acrylic?) legs on the sink unit.

It’s a little bit chinoiserie, a little bit retro, simple and so stylish! Again, I am loving the hints of black with the purple, and how each piece is beautifully shaped.
