Drawn to the colour and form of Dawson’s Ace Chair in olive green velvet, Monmouth’s Dome Pendant lights, along with Weave’s Ava Jade and Impasto cushions, as they bring the calm of nature inside.
From the leaves on the wet Ponsonby Rd pavement; a client’s kitchen with its mink brown tiled splash back; to the chevron floors at Artedomus, with that table!! The striking cushions from Elle Maison will liven up any room.
From the industrial bohemian cafe called Lazy Cats in Ubud, to the delicious ceramics and great coffee/food at Quince in Canggu, the eclectic and stylish resort of Jungle Fish overlooking Osh River Valley, and the ambient homewares shop called Kim Soo Home. I couldn’t resist sharing inspiration from some of the clever designers in Bali.

Love your work.

Auburn; henna; copper and hazel – Reddish brown colour combinations inspired by a giraffe at the Gibbs Sculpture Farm and a friend’s chestnut pony.
Try a combination of Dulux’s Cumberland St and Te Puke with the rich dark chocolate of Khandallah.
Thanks to Adam Gatley for the birds photo.
Bright subtropical plants reminiscent of the vibrant colours painted on Mexican Architect, Luis Barrigan’s building – ‘Casa Gilardi’. Ricardo Legoretta, another inspiring Mexican Architect, also embraced these strong bright hues. Legoretta once said about his process “I don’t select colour, I feel it”. The selection of colour is an integral part of their designs.

And the colours are just as beautiful. I shot these images at the Hamilton Gardens.
