It was interesting talking to a girlfriend about decorating styles the other day. In today's world, home décor is so eclectic - a mixture of many styles and origins and influences. A fusion.
To me, fusion epitomises style. Being able to rely on your instinct and put together what works for you - a collection of pieces from life. From travels, from gifts, from experience... a collection of treasures and memories.
I'm no interior designer but I love to decorate. I don't shop for the latest trend. Our house is a true blend of our 'past lives' and pieces I love, no matter where they were found or how much they cost.
Our décor is now particularly coloured by Asian influences. We brought home a lot of Chinese pieces from Beijing, especially art, and it's been fun adding it to our collection of French, Deco, modern and minimalistic pieces.
I'm not sure what style our house is - perhaps it's Our Style. But what I love most about home decorating is that our tastes and loves change over the years. I already feel a pull to change things up again. Nordic simplicity and folk influences are calling me.
Very soon we may have an Asian French Deco Modern Nordic Folk house.
What style is your home?

Fabrics, needles, sewing machine out, paper, scissor, glue, ribbons, punches, stamp pads - A MESS!!!!!! All the new school supplies are sitting in bags (loads!!) waiting for the big day - A MESS!!!
