Today I want to share with you how Literature can influence your home designs. This might sound like a really weird thing to be talking about, but trust me! Honestly, it can work wonders. I want to talk about the fabulous 'Eat, Pray, Love.' by Elizabeth Gilbert. This was also made into a film which starred the wonderful Julia Roberts. I simply adore these Bali inspired prints and the Bali style within this Next home range collection. I think the warm tones can really warm up a room, as well as making it exotic! The cushions would suit a cream sofa, the vase would look great on a glass table in the corner of the room with flowers and, the lantern would look great with a candle placed inside.
These are all great pieces that would compliment a room greatly and really make it stand out; to impress family and friends. Other novels you could use could be: Alice in Wonderland with dramatic, large, statement pieces, Brave New World with sharp, sleek, white tones and so on.
I've used novels as inspiration within my home too! I look for worn, distressed novels much like the library in 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. Rustic, worn, wood pieces inspired by Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte etc.
