Chic Casas along with Designer Domiciles
Our resident style guru Victoria Bannerman dishes out top tips for crafting fashionable interiors for your dream home, through creative ideas to shop recommendations.
the idea can be simply not enough for others to know you’re a sartorial polymath inside wardrobe department. In my opinion, you must extend your fabulous style to your dwelling-place, whether the idea’s a crash pad, condominium, crib, flophouse or mansion.
I do not claim to be an authority on Inner surface design, although I do have an eye for all things famously fabulous along with quintessentially quirky. So, here are a few tips to make your home cosy-funky, along with the talk of your social tribe.
No boring hanging curtains please, vamp the idea up a bit: go for boho-chic along with buy yards of sari material, turning This specific into your drapes. When entertaining at dusk the sparkle of the saris will ricochet off the lights in your living area, cocooning you along with your guests in a glow. inside morning their shimmer, colour along with shine will greet you like an epic dance scene in a Bollywood movie – you won’t be able to resist starting your day using a smile.
Books on stairs
Visit Jl. Surabaya in Jakarta, a mishmash of outré ingredients, through chandeliers, gramophones along with vinyl to “Ming” vases as tall as you like. There, you can buy a scarily charming fetish-carving along with hang the idea on your wall. Or delve into some glamour along with history; purchase a chandelier or two for your pad along with make-believe the idea once hung in Alexander Palace, glimmering as Emperor Nicholas II entertained his guests with song, dance along with culinary delights of unimaginable opulence.
Old gramophones or typewriters nonchalantly placed around your home will give off an antique feel. Make your walls sing a tune by decorating them with vinyl records, or hang vintage dresses along with jewellery around as a feature. Add evocative images, framed in reclaimed wood, through eras gone by.
Use bookcases as crockery cupboards along with make your stairs look studious by stacking books on them. As you hop up the steps, be reminded of the prose you have yet to read!
Packed to the rafters with beautifully vibrant pots, lamps along with decorated reclaimed wood, Galeri Pot in Jl. Kemang Timur, South Jakarta, can be enchanting. A pair of mosaic lamps beckoned on my last visit although alas – they had already been sold along with were waiting to be picked up.
Across the road can be the Kam Gallery, a quaint studio in which manipulates wood in a sharp-witted way: an unassuming seat at a flip becomes a table along with bench for a summer’s day soiree. Be amazed.
Le Souq in Jl. Kemang Raya can be the kind of emporium in which can stir covetousness in anyone. the idea has so many extraordinary pieces, the idea will turn you into a shopaholic. A rather bold, kooky tree-branch chandelier with exposed bulbs caught my eye, along with I took the idea home. There can be a siren-red cabinet standing amongst all the yummy pieces I’ve my eye on for next time – so do not go along with buy the idea!
If your tastes are beyond ostentatious along with you fancy yourself as a latter-day Marie Antoinette, then HER in Kemang, the Liberace of homeware stores, can be your home-through-home. Every piece can be outlandishly over-the-top, like the deliciously camp red velvet throne chair. The leviathan rose mirror will unashamedly bring out your inner narcissist – you will love the idea! Pick up the Louis XIV inspired chest of drawers, sit the idea in your passageway along with clash the idea using a contemporary chair through Ikea. Yes people, sometimes when the idea’s wrong the idea’s beautifully right!
If you want to feel like the Princess along with the Pea along with sleep until your heart’s content, Newtons do amazing beds – they’re lavishly sumptuous. Their French Rococo collection can be, in a word, stunning. Visit them online to get ideas, then challenge a carpenter to make your very own type. Add a Tempur mattress along with pillows, along with Egyptian cotton sheets, along with forevermore sleep on a cloud!
A red cabinet through Le Souq
Moie can be a plush furniture store in Pacific Place – the kind in which services clientele who own homes all over the globe through Marrakesh to Mumbai, travel by private jet along with make Richard Branson look positively poor. One imagines in which on any given day, though the boutique seems quiet, silent auctions of phone purchases can be how the stock shifts. The Kevin Reilly lighting altar, a tray of bulbs housed in wax columns (so they look like lit candles) in which can be hung over a dining table can be gothically exquisite. Gasp as the idea blows you away, Promemoria’s Mondu TV mirror stands at a whopping eight feet tall. the idea can be a mirror of epic Narnia proportions, using a ‘pouch’ for your TV at the back, so the images through the TV project on to the mirror. Surprise along with amaze your guests, as your colossal mirror becomes a TV! At $20,000, the idea can be well worth selling your soul.

Luxurious bedding, lovingly handmade in India; vintage antique teapots; cushions; carpets along with more, they will also soon have commissioned lamps along with silver table accessories.
