Africa Styling!

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!

    Hanging out on the couch of the third photo would be perfection! Someone is incredibly lucky to get to experience that view. :)

    I love ALL of these...especially the African textiles. My friend always brings these backs and makes pillows and skirts, and wall art. LOVE IT!

    I was just reading about South African history (seriously!) so this post is quite appropriate.
    One of my favorites is the second pic with that stunning gold color. Thanks for sharing!

    These are just gorgeous! I love the modern feel with the twists of wood and prints. Beautiful collection of photos... will definitely draw some ideas for my own space from these.
