Different clients, different purposes = different styles

I've recently finished these two concept boards for completely different styles and purposes.  A living room and a shoe store. 

 

Classic navy blue and white in an eclectic combination of modern and traditional furniture results in a forceful design for a living room that's high on glamour. Note the custom designed sideboard.

Finishes for a hypothetical commercial design in Belconnen shopping centre.  Key features include  recycled timbers, Spanish tiles and industrial lighting.  Its barn meets loft!

Front Guest Room - Accessories

It is time to choose accessories for the front guest room, so far these are definately being included:

Brass Jars

I am also on the hunt for Bahamas Inspired art such as this water colour by Frances Schultz.

I might use this print I found at the Rocks Markets in Sydney.

Would love to find a home for these colourful postcards from my last trip to Spain. (Mr Journey Home shall we call him,  is Spanish)

I found this great little feaux bamboo picture frame at Down Memory Lane Antiques, Fyshwick ACT.

I will change the cushions around regularily but here are two I hope to use at some point.

Linen in gold and brown. It's subtle and works against the navy bed head.

Seagulls

I use either ready made cushions or  custom made cushions in client projects, depending on budget and necessities.

Lighting is like jewellry for your room.

Here is what I intend on using in the British Colonial style guest room.

The fan light like those at the Raffles Hotel in Sinapore adds to the British Colonial theme and helps our climate control for the hottest room of the house.

Quirky desk light

Reading lamps for each bed.

Georgous glazed lamp with linen shade.

All the lamps can be purchased through Journey Home to make enquiries telephone 02 6156 2379 or email nadine@journeyhomeonline.com.au

Front Guest Room - Navy Wins

My choice of Navy was cemented by a Navy velvet sofa with brass studs I saw in New York.

I am drawn to Blues mixed with natural wood tones. Fortunately Navy is huge right now so fabric suppliers are offering plenty of choice, here are a couple of swatches from one of my suppliers.

Spoiler Alert - Navy will also be used in other rooms throughout the house so it makes sense.

Front Guest Room - Consider Navy

My second colour scheme option for the Front Guest Room is Navy. Show me someone who doesn't love Navy!
