In the navy

Navy and white is one of those colour combos which never fails. Add contrast piping and a stripes and it always looks crisp and fresh.

Take a break

David Lawrence sure knows how to convert his fashion skills to interiors in his gorgeous house in the Hampton's. Lovely cushions on the navy sofa, and a beautifully arranged coffee table complete with piles of books, fresh flowers and interesting pieces. Not to mention the gorgeous arrangement behind the sofa with coral and stunning lamps. Plain fabrics mixed with florals punctuated by this striking navy and white striped floor rug.

The curtains complete the look, simple yet with the taupe border top and bottom are so simple. I wish I was on holidays in this lovely home right now. Have a lovely weekend. SA x

Add some stripes

What a great way to add creative interest to a neutral palette and all white walls! Stripes can change a classic interior and add that something extra. I must keep the paint brushes away as I may be tempted to attack a few of my own walls this weekend and painting is not one of my skills. This lovely room above is by my favourite Belgium designers Flamant.

Love these neutrals mixed with oak timbers, via a paddington perspective. Just discovered this lovely blog today.

Another new blog find, wicker and stitch, I feel could become a favourite. Thought a few stripes were in keeping with an American holiday. Happy 4th of July. Sally-Annx
