Lush; Adorn Your Walls with Haute Couture
By Jo Phillips
Home is where the heart is, or for some of us where the Wi-Fi connects automatically. Our choices of decoration and interior design brings soul into our homes and plays a significant role in our everyday lives by establishing the relationship between function and aesthetics. It’s safe to say that our homes reflects our lives, personal tastes, and style.
Every object has been invited into your life either by yourself, friends or family members. Some will be useful, some will hold treasured memories and others will simply be decorative. If you spend as much time at home as I do, you will understand that the small well-designed details of each room hold the power to make you indulge in well deserved peace and quiet to ensure your have your own haven away from the hustle and bustle city life.
