1000 layers…

This weekend I discovered South African interior designer Stephen Falcke. I usually find layering a space quite tricky, finding the perfect balance of objects that work together etc can take a lot of practice. Stephen Falcke actually manages to make layering look completely effortless. Some words of wisdom from his website: “The trick is to build visual layers, just as one might do with a painting”.

    What an incredible interior decorator. I love the idea of building visual layers. I think layers in general is a concept I apply to both my interior and wardrobe.

    Wow, that's amazing and the design principle is definitely not for amateurs!
    So many layers, almost to the point of overload, yet it all comes together so beautifully. Thanks for highlighting this designer!
