The Art Deco style emerged in the mid 1920’s and took inspiration on elegantly balanced geometrical shapes. Checkered black and white floors became very popular back then and I am happy to see this 20’s retro vibe has made a comeback. 

Remember the days when we had to live with the bulky and horrible picture-tube TVs in our family rooms? Back in those days, any stylish living room décor meant having to hide the TV in a cabinet or built-in entertainment unit, well away from sight.

No more of that! Now with the cool flat screen models people are no longer embarrassed to show off their TVs. Some of the new LCD TVs are design pieces in their own right and because they are slimmer and lighter, you can easily wall mount them in your family room or fit them in a cool built-in entertainment unit or above an elegant console or sideboard.

My favourite colour combination at the moment involves four fabulous colours: black, gray, yellow and fuchsia. This room is just too fabulous to describe in words. I love it!! Wish you a wonderful weekend everyone.

The trend I’ve picked up on and can’t get enough of at the moment is what I call “jailhouse stripes”. Black and white is an old time classic but when combined in a striped pattern it lends itself to many bold and glam combinations.
