Africa Styling!

Monday, 23 May 2011

Let’s start the week off properly by looking at some interior spaces that will take your breath away! Below are some pictures from the portfolio of South African interior designers Cecil and Boyd (I’m homesick again, can you tell?). I think I gravitate more to South African design as it mixes ethnic African elements with sophisticated European styles – I really really love the contrasting textures and colours! Here’s to a great Monday everyone!
