One of the useful functions of this blog is to act as a scrap
book for design ideas. Products that I like are collected and posted
here and it's funny how visual trends start to emerge. I've been
looking at table lamps to flank either side of the Living Room sofa. I
kind of know what I'd like, but don't know if I can find it out there
- which is the common dilemma. Ideally, I'm looking for that 'I must have that' sensation which
should accompany every purchase, but within keeping with the design
guidelines: contemporary, clean, modern, stylish, etc. In addition to
this, it has to be cat proof - so delicate, glass lamp bases that can
easily be knocked over and smashed are out.
I think one of the obvious rules when furnishing any room is to try
to stay within the design style so that the pieces don't appear
incongruous: French Provincial rarely works next to Bauhaus unless you
are going for that house clearance storeroom look - which I'm sure will
one day be a look. It is always useful to look at photographs
of interior designs that attract you and study them to see how they've
worked it out. Most of all, I am a believer that you should surround
yourself with objects that you love or that mean something to you.
Evidently I have a thing about square shades...
