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?

Life In Italy!- Beach Day in Spiaggia Bianche

Now that classes are over and I have graduated from my Interior Design Masters Course (Woop Woop), my friends and I went to have a fun and relaxing day at a beach in Rosignano, Tuscany called Spiaggia Bianche- which means White Beach. The sand was in fact really white and the sea was beautiful and blue.

Fact Of The Day: It is so white because there is a factory behind it which produces bicarbonate and excess has been released into the sea. 

It was in fact a really fun day

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!- Anna Casa's Neutral Living Room

I have literally fallen in love with this living room- the colour scheme is extremely calming and elegant. The designer, Anna Casa, has used natural neutral tones with a pop of purple. The cushions are beautiful and from the image I can feel the texture of them as well as the texture of the rug as well.

April Mags! - Period Homes & Interiors

April already! Time goes by way too fast. So I picked up this magazine simply because the cover really caught my attention. Everyone has a preferred colour, but when I see purple, automatically my eyes see nothing else. So yes, the purple font on the cover engaged me. Plus the title of this month’s magazine is called ‘Perfection with pastels’ and last month I did a post on pastel colours and how it is related to spring, so I really wanted to hear what others had to say about it.

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!

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!

All about purple!!!

Purple is my all time favourite colour just because of how royal and elegant it is ! It also has a 'girly' appeal to it, which I can admit I am a bit of a girly girl! Because purple is such a bold colour, it is important to mix it with light shimmery colours to bring out it's elegance. As you can see from the images above, purple is mixed with neutral, natural tones and it's gorgeous!

January Mags!!!

 January came and went so quickly! This month was filled with so much; I had university deadlines, decorating for my friends birthday, getting the hang of the new year and trying to stick to my resolutions. One month has passed now and in the interior design world everything still seems to be festive.


This month I purchased 'House & Garden' and 'Ideal Home' magazines. Both still referred to christmas, However judging by Ideal Home's cover, it seems to be way more 'christmassy' as it has a christmas tree on it and the colour scheme is silver and white with sparkles. House and Garden's cover has a warmer tone to it, which refers more to the idea that it is winter so everyone should keep warm. This is done by what seems to be an entrance to a foyer, decorated with an antique table, flowers and lamps.
