Emily Henson Style

School has gone back and I look forward to having an extremely productive, and much quieter, week. I'm kicking it off with some inspiration from London-based interior stylist, Emily Henson. Emily has a fascinating background which includes fashion design, shop displays, event planning and decorating, interior styling and design.

I love her cool, quirky, original style and I hope it inspires you to think outside the box when it comes to styling your own home. Although many of these are prop styled photos, there's no reason why you couldn't display a favourite cushion on your bookshelf! I am obsessed with cushions and always have too many for my sofas and chairs. I've seen a pair of beautiful heels used as decoration on a console table before, so let your imagination go crazy and create a truly individual home that reflects what you love.

Birds of a Feather | Claire Rosen

With my great love of pattern & colour, wallpaper, and birds, you can imagine my delight when I came across these incredibly gorgeous photos by Claire Rosen. The series is called "Birds of a Feather". Each live bird is photographed in front of a backdrop of complementary vintage wallpaper.

I am so impressed with Claire's photography. You can imagine how difficult it would be to capture the birds in a still photo, and she's matched them so beautifully with their wallpaper. I would love one hanging on my wall, but which would I choose? Which is your favourite? Be sure to go and see the complete series here.

Miranda Skoczek's Interior Style

If I won Lotto the first thing I would buy is a really big Miranda Skoczek painting, I absolutely love her work with all it's vibrant colours. It's no surprise to me that Miranda's fabulous style carries on into the Melbourne home that she shares with her son, Harper.

My favourite kind of home has lovely fresh white walls, and layers of colour and pattern introduced in the furnishings, art, and homeware. The combination of the sleek pink Verner Panton 'S' chair and the rustic blue side table is just delicious. Add a Kirra Jamison artwork for good measure.

I love the gorgeous global touches throughout the house. They help bring interest and stories to the spaces.

The renovated kitchen looks great with the original black and white tiles.

Harper's room features one of Miranda's own works. Along with Harper's Loom rug, it's one of my favourite things in the house.

Trinkets and postcards from Miranda's travels help to inspire her in her workspace.

Thank you Homelife and Inside Out and, of course, Miranda Skoczek for the inspiration.
