MY MOOD BOARDS

I enjoy doing mood boards when there's nothing good on TV... lol! Sort of a way to release some creative energy when I get the urge! I guess that's why they call it a mood board! Here are a few I whipped up tonight..

It's funny how I've started doing mood boards early this year and when i look back, i notice my tastes and likes have changed. One thing stays consistent though, my love for minimalism and the whole minimalist concept.

Below are some of my mood boards 😊

INSPIRATION

Here are some pictures that i have gathered over the last few months via Pinterest and Instagram that inspired me with my Selections. Truly a wonderful tool to do your research! Once you have created your Pinterest Boards, look back and you will notice a theme transpire. In my case, i gravitated to the monochrome palette. It's not to say i am not attracted to other styles and themes, it just means my eye was on the black/greys/whites. In the last few weeks, i have been falling in love with Tan! Can't wait to introduce tan leather in and around the house! I chose this palette because you can dress it up and dress it down by adding splashes of colour in the form of vases, throws and pillows - anything you like really! I am doing a workshop next month at the International School of Colour and Design with a dear friend of mine who shares the same passion for interior styling as i - excitement is an understatement!

WINDOW DRESSINGS

Thanks to Pinterest, Instagram and good old Display Home stalking, i have a fair idea of how i would like to dress our windows. Simple and easy on the eyes is what's important to me. Our house will be very monochrome, with tan leather and a little bit of timber to soften the look, so sheers is the way to go! I would like to go with a local business who can custom make them so they sit nice and neat against the wall. I think sheers that go across the whole wall would look amazing. We have high ceilings so the floor to ceiling/wall to wall will accentuate the height and space even more. Sheers also provide privacy without losing natural light.

I love how sheers provide the light and airy feel. I would love to find one where you can see out but can't see in. I have seen this in the Washington Display Home in Elara - feels so luxe with added privacy.

Over the last few months, i have collected some photos via Instagram from a designer whose style i envy. How classy does her rooms look?

LIGHTING

We still have a few months until we need to buy lighting, furniture and appliances. A really good tip i read from a build blog was to note the month a shop goes on Sale. For example, Beacon Lighting have massive sales during April and May. I have noticed that August is also a great month for sales! And of course the End of Financial Year Sales in June/July.

You may have read from my last post that i have deleted some of our chosen pendant lights from our Electrical Quote. It's proof that in just 5 months, your design taste and palette can change or shift! I still find the minimalist, clean look very appealing and i doubt that will change much.

Here are some lighting designs i have in mind:
