Chinoiserie Bar Cart

 

 

 

 

Bar Cart fun

This gorgeously styled bar cart caught my eye with it's bright pops of yellow and cobalt blue.

 I like the Chionoiserie details which gives it a very chic look.

The choice of colours and the coral gives it a upmarket coastal feel .... very Palm Beach!

This faux bamboo bar cart was picked up from Gilles and Franck. 

I think every beach house needs a bar or a bar cart to create that real hoilday spirit.

Nothing beats a gin and tonic on the deck watching the sun set.

Light & Natural

 

Loving these light filled interiors.

There has has been a real trend in the past few years to move away from timbers with warm, brown tones into light blonde timbers. With the huge popularity of Scandinavian style interiors, timber has been getting lighter and lighter. Ash, limewashed, chalky and grey timbers have been taking the spotlight. The softer look blends with any design style and keeps interiors looking bright, light and airy.

Colour Inspiration | Ocean Blue

 

Coastal Cool in Ocean Blue

Surround yourself with cool coastal colours - shades of the ocean. Then mix it back with natural fibres and tones offset with bucket loads of white. Mix denim, chambray and washed linen with patterns and stripes for a laid back coastal vibe. Then kick back and relax - life's a breeze!
