There is something so simple anyone can do to add texture, style and colour to your living room, and also make it feel warm and cosy - just add a throw on your sofa! I've always been a fan of throws, but they became even more of a must-have item here in the UK, being the perfect way to warm up while lounging on a cold winter Sunday or catching up on our favourite TV shows in the evenings. I am bringing to you 3 ways to style your sofa using a throw. Think of those times when your friends are coming around and you haven't had time to tidy up- that's instant style added right there! I'm using a pale...
A few days ago I posted the first part of my visit to Florense, a stunning furniture and interiors store in Sao Paulo (you can find the first part here), so here is what else I got to see whilst visiting them. Let's continue the tour... The bedroom set up was just breathtaking. A wardrobe with mother-of-pearl finish, a mix of ebony and turquoise furniture, a side-table to die for and equally stylish pendants. But the best kept-secret (and probably something every woman would love to own), was the dressing table with a glass top showcasing a display of accessories underneath! And with plenty of space to organise them by colour, season, or however you wish. #dreambedroom or what? It was time...

During my last trip to Sao Paulo I visited one of Florense's showrooms and I was impressed not only at the quality and finish but also at the fantastic design options they have to offer! Be warned, this is the first one of two picture heavy posts as I walk you through my visit and tempt you with their original designs! Florense is one of the main names in high-end furniture across 72 cities around the world, 60 of those showrooms are located in Brazil, and you can see the other locations in the map pictured. It offers high design and luxury for projects of any size and uses ecologically correct manufacturing processes which have earned them an environmental certification recognised...
I have recently re-styled the bookcase in my lounge as the room has been re-decorated, and oh boy, what a difference it makes! Storage units can at times be overlooked and forgotten, however they can make a difference in the overall look of our rooms. There are solutions to hide the clutter away (some of which I share here), instead of using a bookcase as a 'it's-out-of-the-way-on-the-shelf-so-it's-fine' kind of unit. I'd rather think of it as a unit to display your personality and add character to a room! I am sharing my tips here so you can achieve the same results at home. 1- Chose items that mean something to you, some items that will bring good memories and things that you have collected over...
