Work Experience- Designers Guild Showroom (Kings Road)

Designers Guild is a Fabric & Wallpaper Store and has multiple showrooms around London. I worked at Designers Guild for 2 weeks and had the most exciting time. I spent majority of my first week in the sample room, ordering samples and assisting customers to find the samples they desire. I must admit, I became quite good at this, knowing exactly where all the fabrics were placed and becoming very familiar with the Fabric Codes.

Inspiring Myself- London Galleries

One promise I made to myself at the beginning of this year was to try and do a lot more things that inspire me. I started the year half way through living in Florence, so it was very easy for me to keep my promise when the city alone is inspirational. Moving back to London has been great, I definitely missed the fast-paced life here; however, inspiration does not just come easily, you have to go and look for it. 

One of my child hood friends and I were talking and she told me I should come with her to visit some museums. I have lived in London for how many years, and there are some major places I haven't even visited yet. She took me to The Saatchi Gallery and the Victoria & Albert museum. 

One thing I find so captivating about visiting museums and galleries in general is the fact that there is such a peaceful vibe going in. Everything is open with a lot of light and the unbelievable art work is what really gets to me. Below I have left a few pictures of my time there. 

Enjoy.

Interior Decoration Idea: Eclectic Living Space

Eclectic Styled Living Space. I used multiple colours and design styles in this room and made it work (in my opinion). I really love the view too....What do you think?

Room of the Day! - Traditional Living Room

I absolutely adore this living room space. It uses a Traditional and Classic design style and has a Neutral/ Pale colour scheme with a dash of rich gold to really bring out the inner beauty of the room.

 Although there a numerous patterns (on the area rug, sofa and chairs) there is still a clear balance as the patterns are added in a subtle way, and the walls are contrasting them by being more simple.

I really love this room and believe it is well designed.

(Love the furniture pieces too :))

Life in Italy! Viareggio Carnival!

Viareggio is a city in Northern Tuscany located near Lucca! Every year there is a carnival with a huge parade and floats!  I went with my friends from school and we wore masks and had the time of our lives lol. A beach was conveniently nearby where we went to chill once we had watched the parade go round. 

Room of the Day! - My Dream Office

It's no surprise that I want to be an Interior Designer and as this is my chosen profession, it is important that everything about me shows this. I see myself dealing with multiple projects in this office! There are a number of reasons I am particularly fond of this room, the main reason is how the décor is extremely eye catching; I love how luxurious it looks, with the metallic glass desk and the gold with a hint of black chandelier. I love how simple but tasteful the curtains are, I feel it works as the room itself is fairly busy. I love the patterns on the office chair and the picture frame behind it, it truly makes a difference to the room! What really makes this office stand out is all the finishing touches on the desk. There are picture frames, ornaments and vases with a variety of flowers! I am extremely blown away by this room and I am hoping to have an office like this one day!

Mirror Mirror on the wall!

Mirrors add glamour and elegance to every room! The reflection of the décor of the room really shines out of the typically glass coated surface. What makes mirrors even more interesting are the detailed bespoke frames, which can range from standard wood to metal, seashells or even diamonds- it really gives an alluring addition to the already decorated room. Below are some pictures that show how a mirror can not only change the dynamic of a room, but also be the selling point of that same room.

All about Lacquered Walls!!!

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken out their time to go through this blog! I am so overwhelmed. :)If you don't already follow @sainteriors on Instagram, please do; it shows my decorating style and what I am inspired by.
 The whole point of me doing this blog is for me to express my love for décor and to learn more about it.

So a few days ago I posted the second picture below on Instagram just because I thought it looked pretty cool. I loved how shiny and glossy the walls were and I loved the whole black and white combination. I received a comment from someone saying "The Lacquered walls are gorgeous!" I will not lie, but I had no idea what Lacquered walls were, I had never heard of it x_x!
