BY KATE KINGSTON
Kate Kingston, Managing Director of Kingston Shaw, an award winning
interior design company with offices on the Wirral, London and Dubai,
shares with us the latest trends for creating the perfect home.
FAITH, HOPE AND ACCESSORIES
Which of these statements is true?
1. Paloma Faith and I were both magician's assistants?
2. Our cover girl and I have the same milliner?

You are of course right in answering 1 & 2! Knowing that Miss Faith
is coming to our part of the world this month got me thinking about
stage design and home design, not so different, both aim to convey
a mood, accentuate the positive and create interest where ever you
look! With this is mind I wanted to share some of the best accessories
that are available on the high street to enliven your space and make
a statement:
1. Glass Bottles from refoundobjects.com make a great talking
point on bookshelves. If budget allows buy lots!
2. Pick cushions in similar tones to redress your space, these are
from habitat.com and start from £15.00.
3. Place a few interesting and ‘creepy’ accessories around your
home, en vogue right now anything from the natural world, we
found these at zarahome.co.uk.
4. Use scale to add interest, always use three objects to create
drama. Ceramic Pots are from plumo.co.uk.
5. Drape a cashmere throw over any old chair or sofa to instantly
update. Our favourites at the moment are from ouyna.com.
6. Trays are the perfect accessory, as they are useful to carry things
on, but also to provide surfaces for accessories on a table and or
on a footstool. Personally I am obsessing over this beauty from
Jonathan Charles at sweetpeaandwillow.co.uk.
Whatever you decide to do, remember your home reflects who you
are and if you are like Paloma and I then your home will be full of
weird and wonderful treasures both from the high street and your
travels.
