IvP Decorating 101: Fresh Flowers

via martha stewart

We had a little photo shoot today so Elizabeth, Penny and I popped out to the flower markets and had a lovely leisurely wander around. It is one of my favourite things to do simply buy a bunch of fresh flowers and your mood along with your home is instantly perky! It reminded us of just how important fresh flowers are in making your home special. In fact whenever we install a job fresh flowers are a must! Such a simple and inexpensive way to breathe some life into your interior.

Well after a couple of weeks off our latest IvP decorating 101 is all about black! We love decorating with colour but every now and then you need something to tone it all down and black is just the thing! Black is grounding and strong in a room and when balanced with some bright pops of colour it is so so chic. Grant Gibson does it so well in the room above. How stunning is that chair and blue and black is always an effortless combo. Come along to our next decorating workshops with a room from your home and we will help you transform it!
