Color swoon alert! I have been a big fan of The Henry Road Collection for quite some time now, and they have added lots of new pieces to their store for 2009! I can just never get enough of rich vibrant colors and patterns that while they may be opposite on the color wheels, they are put together here so perfectly as if they were made for each other!

About Henry Road: “Paula Smail spent her childhood in a house on Henry Road in South Africa. Since then, she has traveled extensively and includes London, Paris and New York in the long list of places she has lived.

Currently based in Los Angeles, her design aesthetic of bold color is influenced by Marimekko blinds in the house on Henry Road, women wrapped in swathes of stunning African cloth and the work of artists like Rothko and many of his contemporaries. A self-taught designer, her professional life includes au pairing, crewing on a yacht, and being a corporate executive. Paula’s style is a happily eclectic mix of color, eras and ethnicities fueled by a life spent rearranging furniture, scouring flea markets all over the world and reading piles of design magazines. The Henry Road collection includes textile based home and personal goods designed by Paula and made in Los Angeles.” -henryroad.com

Swoon! I couldn’t resist posting up such lovely rooms of colorful inspiration via The Room Service Store. It’s never a bad a idea to play around with color…and mixing & matching patterns that you would have never thought of before! Surprisingly I LOVE the Green bed/headboard with the glossy black chairs and brown and white bedding…what a combo, but so pretty and chic! I would have never put those colors together. So needless to say you should head on over and check out some lovely color combos and some fabulous furniture that just might inspire your abode! Have fun and if you are in the Palm Springs or Los Angeles California area, then head on over and check out the Room Service goodness up close and personal!

Sometimes I tend to have a real girly girl style! Most of the time I prefer eclectic hues and styles that portray more of a shabby chic bohemian style, but every now and then I imagine a room that would be adorned in french goodness! Pretty lighting, delicate bedding, soft florals & patterns, and candy coated colors. The collections of Sweetpea & Willow reminds me of my love for french decor. My favorite, of course is their Designer Collection. I just love the colors! So, if you are in need of some french inspiration, then head on over and browse through their pieces. They have a wonderful collection of chairs, sofas, beds, mirrors, and lounges just to name a few! Have fun!

Designer Lisa Whatmough of Squint Limited is absolutely amazing! As far as my personal style goes, I absolutely adore an eclectic and clever combination of patterns, bold and striking colors, textures, and random composed shapes. The collection of Squint is the epitome of what I love about design..fun, colorful, and artistic! I would be in heaven if I had a studio with accents of furniture such as this..oh why yes..I would sit on my custom sofa of magentas, sage greens, eggplant purples, and teal blues, and sip on some lavender tea s I sketch away my dreams within my sketchbook! Squint is located in East London, and I am sure it would be heaven to visit! Oh, how I want that Egg chair(top left)!!!! It’s so so pretty!

I am usually not one for too many florals or polka dots, but every now an then I come across patterns and colors like these from Cowtan & Tout and I just drool over the floral lushness, especially the Jane Churchill Ellsworth Sofa! Their entire collection(which consist of Colefax & Fowler, Cowtan & Tout, Jane Churchill, Larsen, and Manuel Canovas) did not win me over, but these select few I thought were quite lovely. Usually florals are associated with a “country” feel, so I usually like when I see them used in a more contemporary/eclectic scene. What about you…are you a sucker for florals or do you leave them out in the garden?
