I was just flicking through some disks of my work {I’m updating my website very soon!} and I stumbled across a shoot I styled just before leaving Ideal Home. The concept was “Ideal Rooms” In a dream world what would you incorporate into your Kitchen; Living Room, Home Office and Bedroom {I say dream but we’re talking realistically here , not vast “cribs” style dressing rooms and hot tubs!}
I don’t know about you but I dream of a big open plan kitchen/diner with vast bi-folding doors? And I love the Sanderson wallpaper I used here {even if I do say so myself!!} In fact it would look great in my living room here in Sydney.
Now personally I’m not big on monster Tv’s {especially mounting them above fireplaces, I had my arm twisted on this one!} but actually teamed with a modern wall hung fireplace it kinda works, and sadly huge Tv’s seem to be big news! { I’ve recently shot another big TV feature so watch this space for more inspiration!} I do love built-in shelving though, oh and yellow, I love yellow!!
So this was our Family Office, a place for household papers; kids; crafting and work. I’m really in to dark walls at the moment. My dream office would be filled with gorgeous stationery from Present & Correct
When it comes to the bedroom, correct me if I’m wrong, I think every girl dreams of a walk-in-wardrobe? You don’t have to have a spare room, why not build a false wall behind the bed to hide your own mini walk in? I papered our wall in one of Neisha Crosland’s new affordable wallpapers exclusive to John Lewis {love her designs}
So what would feature in your ideal home?

My ideal room would be stylish, functional, organized, yet charming with little personal touches. Im working on these things now. Sometimes it feels hard when you don’t really have a budget and are just piece-mealing it together, but I think with patience it will come.
I love those wallpapers. I’ve never been into wallpaper for my home, but am thinking about something fun for my kitchen.
yay, these photos are very familiar! I spotted the kitchen image on bloglovin’ and thought ‘why do I know that?’
Cannot believe the shoot was so long ago! Hope you are enjoyign Oz… xx
Loving Oz!!! Your blog is looking gorgeous hun, how’s things in London?
love your we site nice pretty picture. like that back ground.
We have the Sanderson in our living room and I loved it, I adored it right up until the set designers at Hollyoaks used it for one of the flats. Now my heart sinks when it flashes up on my (modest) TV screen. I know, terrible admission but there you have it – I watch Hollyoaks and that is my punishment!
Oh Kat, I feel your pain! I once had the same happen with a paper I set my heart on and then saw in Peggy Mitchell’s house in Eastenders!
Peggy Mitchell – ouch!
