Category: Interiors & lifestyle

Welcome to the 'more is more' world of decorating, or as it's more commonly know in the business, Maximalism. A style that embraces the all-out: beautiful colour palettes, luxurious textiles, patterns and embellishment. Maximalism is the epitome of passion, one in which Scandi-style, stripped bare and p ared-back interiors have no place. Abigail Ahern guides us through the sea change in the world of interiors as the pendulum swings away from minimalism, over to our increasing desire for self-expression and optimism. Learn how to break the 'rules' of interior design, play fast and loose with different periods in a single room and have fun. Maximalism allows you to dip into colour palettes and any decade or style, with the effect of stirring up emotions and creating a bedazzling space you'd never want to leave. Chapters include: Developing a Sense of Style: Research tips and how to begin, from trawling Instagram and tearing sheets from magazine. Expressing Yourself: Learning which rules to forget and which guidelines you would do best to remember to make your decorating foolproof. All-Important Accessories: Learn to create a story whereby every object in the room supports the same vision. Identifying Your Palette: Experiment with thinking outside the box and be curious with colour - what matters most is not the colour but the tone. Creating a Sense of Home: All homes should have a soul and you should be the mixologist, taking risks and mixing up furniture styles with aplomb. Creating Ambience with Lighting: Lighting is key and enables you to set a mood that is instantly tangible and has a direct impact on mood and energy. Styling Your Space: The secret ingredient to making a maximalist home work, and not feeling like a cluttered mess. Challenge the Norm: Harness beauty and oddity, sensuous and the macabre, to create a decorative melting pot where elements vibrate with energy. Little Black Book: Take a peek inside Abigail's little black book where we find the best global decor stores not to be missed. ...Show more

Resident Dog (Vol 2): Incredible Homes and the Dogs Who Live There by Nicole England

$60.00 AUD

Category: Architecture & Design

As an architecture photographer, Nicole England found that the shoots she enjoyed the most were the ones where dogs were present - nothing lightens the mood like a nonchalant pup. However imposing the architecture, some doggy hijinks can immediately bring an element of sociability and fun. With this in mind, Nicole set about setting up her instagram, Resident Dog, and now this book, Resident Dog Around the World, which showcases over 25 of the world's most amazing houses, and thedogs that live there. Photographing dogs is not always straightforward, because they don't always cooperate! The result is that these images end up with a looser, more spontaneous style. Just as every home is different, so is every dog. The photographs showcase incredible, amazing architecture and capture the personality of the idiosyncratic personality of each canine. Take a wander around the world's most stunning homes, from Mexico to Sydney, London, New York and LA, with the home pooch as your tour guide. Eachhome will feature several photographs, and an interview with the architect or home owner. ...Show more
