That's the thing I love about blogging! You suddenly meet people living on the other side of the world and whom you normally wouldn't have met. You start exchanging ideas and sometimes little friendships may grow...
Anna was so kind to accept my humble invitation to be a guest blogger on my blog and here we go... doing what usually only the 'pros' do...
Scroll down and be inspired by lovely Anna and don't forget to check out her beautiful blog! Anna - thanks so much for joining me today!
Nadine you are a darling...I’m so honoured that you asked and...I hope I don’t fail terribly!?!
I know that when it comes to home decor everyone has different tastes. Some love the modern or contemporary, while others love country, rustic or the romantic style of shabby chic. But have you ever really thought about what your favourite decor say about you? Well...perhaps more than you may have thought?
Every piece of furniture tells a story, and everything about your interior has soul.
Some Examples...
MODERN ...you may be the modernistic chic?
If you love modern styling, you are more than likely a no nonsense person who likes everything straight and to the point. This type of home decor often consists of simple, sparse furnishings with straight lines and minimal fuss.
SHABBY...you may be the Shabby chic?
Those who are crazy about shabby chic decor are often romantic at heart. This style exudes a soft and airy feeling, with a romantic look. Pastels and a worn or washed look add old charm to this style. Furniture is often whitewashed and worn around the edges. Chandeliers, plant stands, candles and all other accents are usually a tad on the feminine side.
Home Design & Interior
EXOTIC.....you may be the Exotic chic?
Do you love exotic or Asian colours and accents? If you are one who loves a look that is anything but traditional, you are probably a bold person yourself. Rich colours are often used in this decor. Reds, gold’s, blacks, burnt orange - like the colours in this decor, you are more than likely no shrinking violet. Asian and exotic styling demands attention, and will not be ignored. Does this sound like you?
COUNTRY....You may be the Country style chic?
Then we come to country home decor. This style is commonly used by people who are extremely warm and friendly. The more company, the better! You have a place in your home and your heart for anyone and everyone. This look is charming, comfortable and welcoming, just like you. You enjoy nothing better than having a kitchen full of visitors, waiting to eat a slice of your homemade apple pie.
You can see how people’s personalities often lend to the style of decor they choose.
In my opinion..when it comes to decorating the place you call home...be it your own home, a rental, a caravan...wherever it is that you live......its not important that it reflect the latest trends or styles that we so often drool over in the latest Home Decor magazines.....what is important is that it represents what you want it to say...That this is me!!
Surround yourself with the things you love and that feed your soul...wheither it be flowers, photographs, books, collectibles from a trip you once took, that odd looking ornament that you just cant help but love, ....anything really...and you will soon realise that your love the space you live in because it reflects you !
I feel like I'm a mixture, too! (of country and modern, interestingly enough.)
