Geometric patterns have been around now for a while, and they don’t look like they are going anywhere.  A fabulous way to update any scheme, it can make a traditional space instantly feel more contemporary.

With many of us loving a bit of mix and match in our interior decor, you can’t go wrong in adding a touch of rustic to your home.  Adding a cosy country feel to your space, the key is not to go overboard especially in a modern home. 

Whilst the idea of living in a big old country pile sounds super appealing, the thought of keeping it all clean and dust free might not be so great!  So we thought, wouldn’t it be great to have some grand living styling, but on a more manageable bite size scale. 

Although we’re heading in to the warmer months where we’ll be spending more time outside, we do spend a great deal of time in our homes and house plants can really help filtrate the air and even better, make you feel closer to nature when you’re stuck indoors!

We were thrilled to be asked by Caroline Oakey of Oaki Designs to provide some items for a room scene that she was designing especially for this years Grand Designs show.  

We thought we’d spend some time showcasing our fantastic ranges and first up is the stunning Tokyo Design range – a fabulous collection of contemporary and Asian inspired tableware.

Our thoughts are turning to Summer holidays.  Dreams of cosy cottages close to the sea.  Whitewashed walls and natural materials.  And we’ve been thinking about how we could bring some of these elements to our own homes to get the holiday feel - year round.

While it’s still a bit cloudy outside (come on sunshine!), our thoughts are turning to summer holidays, and we literally cannot wait to feel the sand between our toes and the sun on our skin.  

Spring is (just about) here – well we think it’s here and then it pops off again!  Here at Bell and Blue we think it’s the happiest of all of the seasons.  I mean who can’t be cheery seeing bright yellow daffodils and smelling cut grass.   Whilst happiness seems to be in abundance outside, we thought we’d turn our attention to our homes.  Can you make your home happy and if so, how?

We’ve been looking at all of the fab home accessories we have here at Bell and Blue and thought we’d showcase the best ones!
