Visual Inspiration
The design inspiration you are wanting for may be achieved by simply taking a step outside to soak up your surroundings. You are able to quickly make firm decisions as you can instantly compare the design right in front of you against the layout of your home. Nature produces a variety of colours and textures which can assist you in sorting out which palette works best for every season.
In addition, visiting show homes, hotels and interior shops can allow you to physically map out how each room in the house should be displayed. If you’re at a holiday destination, take the opportunity to really absorb what you see and bring it back home by recreating your unique design that is a reminder of your getaway.
