Maison and Objet Paris

Maison and Objet is the first interior trade show for 2010 and is often the first glimpse of trends. Here are some images and thoughts about what was on show.

Many of the fabric houses show their latest collections of fabrics and wallpapers, as shown above.

"Ethnic Chic" - Dreams of far-off places, a melting pot of world cultures, contemporary exoticism for a home that exudes the sensual charm of vibrant ethnic influences.
Charme” country home, family home …

Family home, holiday home etc. from the beaches of Normandy to the hills of Provence, snapshots of life with the soft perfume of nostalgia.

“inspiration jardin” continues to spread its influence in the home.

The home is cultivating its nature... A breath of fresh air and greenery for a return to a bucolic decorative spirit

Colour palette - Green

Green has traditionally been used to symbolize nature and its embodied attributes, namely those of life, fertility, and rebirth.

Whether you prefer, british racing green, chartreuse, forest green, emerald, teal or olive - here are some interior images to inspire....

Paris Fashion Week

Who can't be inspired by Paris Fashion , especially Haute Couture. Here are some beautiful images from the first couple of days of runaway shows.

John Galliano for Christian Dior - rich colours and fabrics, elegant designs, teamed with stunning flowers.
The master, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel - soft colour with amazing detail

Australia Day

Wishing you a happy Australia Day.


A day to spend time with your friends and family and enjoy all that is great about Australia
Have a good one.....

Vintage Vogue Covers

I was looking for a present for my sister in law and thought some vintage posters may be an option. I came across these Vogue covers from 1910 - 1920. I love these images, they are graphic, colourful and very of the period, showing exotic clothes and places.

The New Age of Elegance

I picked up the lastest Belle magazine and the cover has the following heading

The New Age of ELEGANCE.....Colour, colour, everywhere

Music to my ears.
Here are a couple of images to inspire from the lastest Belle.

I'm back

I'm excited to be back on deck and looking forward to a wonderful 2010. Have enjoyed my break catching up with family and friends. The time just flew away and I'm looking forward to an exciting 2010 at A Blind Pash Interiors.
