I've always been into home decor. I have a slight OCD with keeping the house tidy, although since becoming a Mum and having significantly less time per day this OCD urge has greatly declined. But the desire to have a lovely home with beautiful things inside of it is something that will always interest me. It makes me happy as a hobby, a hobby that can sometimes be a little on the expensive side, but a great hobby all the same.
When my Husband and I moved in with each other aged 19, our home decor tastes were the exact same.. we loved the 'modern' look. The more contemporary the better. And we still do share that taste in decor, but lately I seem to have really latched on to the whole shabby chic look. You know the one.. the pretty, perhaps sometimes a tad too much floral going on look. I'm also really getting into white.. white everything. The more white the better. Not only does white provide the perfect back drop for photographs, it's clean, fresh, bright and pretty all rolled into one. It also goes with every other color.. particularly, in my opinion, duck egg blue. But though the Hubby has come around to my recent 'everything white craze' he's not yet convinced on the duck egg blue.
We're still hoping to move.. our chain is now complete so it's just waiting on solicitors etc now so if all does go to plan (fingers crossed) it'll be so great getting to redecorate the new house and purchasing all our new furniture. I'm a fan of places like Ikea and Rodgers of York and will be hoping to pick out some gorgeous white pieces to make the new house a home.
I'd love to know what your home decor style is? And why?
