There's no better place to find inspiration than your daydreams, and lucky for all of you, we're dreaming of sun-kissed, salty skin, blue water (tiled pool or shining sea, not fussy) and a location-flexible, rustic Mediterranean abode. France, Italy, Spain or Greece, any one (or all) of them will do just fine in this aesthetically charged fantasy.
Where some may simply see a meeting of plasterboard, we see a cosy nook, a design moment, a storage area or a place to add a fabulous thing.
Constant inspiration is vital in any creative industry. You never really know where a 'spark' will take you. One cushion could be the catalyst for an entire house or vice-versa. Travel, galleries, commercial spaces, blogs, film and media are all rich sources for FRESH INSPO- here, we share the rooms that are making us SWOON!
