Hand painted birds, blossom and wisteria on black Hand painted birds, blossom and wisteria on black silk panels. Aging and fraying but beautiful. Bought about 15 years ago, before my move to Lantern Cottage, and here I now share my gardens with green parakeets, wisteria and blooms of blossom. #painted #panels #cottagelife

A glimpse into an adjoining room through the smoky reflection of an antique Italian mirror, with an Indian night-dress hanging in the foreground.

Last week I returned to give a talk @interiordesig Last week I returned to give a talk @interiordesignershub on the subject of Accent Colours. Here are a few of the ideas I shared. If you’d like to learn more about working with accent colour, register your interest by email or DM for Part 3 Chroma Confidence where I’ll be covering precisely this topic in much more detail. ✨ Image credits: 1&6 @sjoerslev_studio_indretning 2 unknown 3 @fionadelys_colourconsultant 4 @thedesignfiles 5 @buzzfeed #accentcolor #colourconsultant #interiorcolour #popofcolour #colourworkshop
My client yesterday arrived from Stroud but left w My client yesterday arrived from Stroud but left with Africa in her heart. A truly enlightening and immersive day with @katevdm.interiordesign who returned for Part 2, having completed her Aesthetic Narrative for a room at home, using skills learnt from the Part 1 workshop back in March. It’s often a very moving process, for those who find those felt-life moments through the power of colour, and it’s always a privilege for me to be part of that - to observe the evolution of colour as it appears within an emotion, before materialising as a concept. This isn’t just about scheming with colour. It’s about discovering how to cultivate colour as your communication tool and language for expression, identity and aesthetic statements. For self and those you work with. #colourconsultant #colourscheme #delysiancoloursystem #interiordesigncommunity #colourworkshop
