It’s design Jim; but not as we know it. As part of London Design Festival, we ventured along to Design Junction at the Old Sorting Office just at Holborn to see what design gems we could see and what the key trends were going forward. As big fans of Design Junction, it’s always on our…
Read MoreFine, looks like that little fella doesn’t want to talk about it so we’ll talk to our Insta mates instead. Let’s just have a moment to chat about the 250th Summer Exhibition at @royalacademyarts, curated by he mighty @perry_grayson. We went today and we’re so inspired by all the amazing pieces (swipe to see a few of our favourites 👉🏼). At times it can be slightly overwhelming but if you want to be smacked in the face with a whole host of art, definitely catch the exhibition while you still can. As we were leaving we overheard a woman say that it was the best year yet - after 250 shows, that’s quite the review if you ask us! And if you want to chat to anyone about it after, we’re all ears!

Stuck for ideas on how to really make it shine? We spoke to @melanielissackinteriors, @girlabouthouse and @alexandbro to get their top tips!

All smiles this Thursday as we’re off to Portugal tomorrow! We’re leaving the great British sunshine for even more sunshine plus a friends wedding. We fell in love with these @shopbando pool inflatables that we spotted at the @portraitcommunications press day and now we can’t wait to dive head first into a pool! Bring it on 🏖🌊

🕺🏻 D I S C O 🕺🏻Saturday time means party time. Well, we say party but we just mean chill out and don’t think about work. Although we *should* be enjoying the sunshine, we think we may opt for the @vamuseum today to catch the Frida Kahlo exhibition. Has anyone else been to see it yet? We hope everyone else has some cracking weekend plans!

🎄 CHRISTMAS IN JULY 🎄| outside maybe nice and toasty but inside we’ve been listening to Jingle Bells. It’s always fun to see what’s coming up for Christmas and one of our favourites is @johnlewisretail (see our story for more pics). Every year they have a bunch of key trends and cool trees but this year, it was a little different. Instead of trends like Woodland or Winter Wonderland, they simply grouped the themes into colours. Such a simple but perfect idea. So if you’re a green and red traditionalist, you know where to head, or perhaps this year you’re going to opt for a sunny yellow or gothic black, it’s all there, grouped and ready and waiting. Great idea! SWIPE TO SEE THE RAINBOW 🌈👉🏼

It was here about six years ago that we had our first conversation at a press event that we were working at. We decided to swap numbers and go for a drink. Fast forward to 2018 and we’re back outside celebrating @prideinlondon and the feeling of inclusivity, acceptance and love is stronger than ever. We hope everybody has a brilliant Pride, whether you’re partying in the streets of London with a cheeky tin of G&T or at home living your best life. Everybody say LOVE 🌈❤️.

Sunday funday! After a day out in Brighton yesterday and a few bevvies yesterday evening (we may have a couple of sore heads this morning 🤦🏻♂️) we’re having a fairly chilled one today. Although heading to the lido and lapping up some more sunshine seems quite appealing right now 🤔. Hope everyone else is having a fun weekend!

A sweltering Friday summed up perfectly by Kiki who is having a wee cat nap in the bedroom. Sadly we haven’t been able to enjoy much of the sun today as we’ve been busy writing lots but hooray for the weekend and bring on a cheeky G&T. Cheers!

We’ve never put together a moodboard before and we’re not going to lie, ours were not the best, but last week we were lucky to join @topologyinteriors at @madedotcom for a brilliant moodboard masterclass. After some fab top tips we got sticking and pasting on to our boards. David went for a Dutch master inspired bedroom theme and Mark opted for a zingy contemporary mellow yellow style living room. If you’re looking to get some direction to your decorating then a moodboard is the perfect starting point to hone in those ideas. Why not check out @topologyinteriors and keep your eyes peeled for their next masterclass!
