INSTEAD OF SIMPLY COPYING AND PASTING DESIGN STYLES AND PRINCIPLES , THESE UNIQUE AND VIVID COLOURS COMBINE WITH SOFT CURTAINING AND FOLIAGE PRINTS TO ADD A PLAYFULNESS AND SEXINESS TO THE SPACE WHILE STILL RETAINING A HARMONIOUS FEEL THAT IS AT ONE IN NATURE .
ESTABLISHING A GROUNDING
GROUNDING IS ABOUT USING A SPACE TO CONNECT US TO A SENSE OF TRANQUILLITY AND PEACE THAT MAKES US FEEL HAPPY . WINTER IS THE PERFECT TIME TO RECHARGE AND ESTABLISH A DISCONNECTION TO USELESS INFORMATION AND INSTEAD , CONNECTING TO WHAT EVOKES A POSITIVE EMOTION WITHIN US – BE IT NATURE , COLOUR , OR SENTIMENTAL ITEMS .
THE EXISTING LIGHT GREEN OF THE CUPBOARDS IN THE CONSTANTIA BEDROOM , COMBINED WITH RED EMBROIDERED HEADBOARD WAS THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR THIS SPACE BUT I ADDED NAVY TO CONTINUE THE COLOUR JOURNEY , GROUNDED THE RED AND BRIGHTENED THE GREEN . I USED TEXTURE IN THE NEW WALLPAPER AND FABRICS TO ENGAGE THE SENSES AND MAKE IT FEEL LUXURIOUS AND PEACEFUL , THEN REPEATED THE COLOUR JOURNEY INTO THE NEW DRESSING ROOM SPACE .
TAKING YOUR HOME FROM WINTER TO SUMMER ISN ’ T DIFFICULT BUT THE TRICK IS NOT TO WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO START PREPARING . TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SERENITY AND CALMNESS DURING WINTER TO CAREFULLY PLAN AND EXECUTE YOUR PERFECT SUMMER HAVEN . A FEW SMALL TWEAKS TO YOUR LAYOUT AND PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAILS LIKE COLOURS AND TEXTURES , CAN HELP YOU CREATE A BEAUTIFUL AND WELCOMING HOME THAT YOU ' LL ENJOY ALL SUMMER .
