Day Dream Interiors

After a busy week in work or running around after the children life can sometimes feel a little mundane and hectic! Wouldn’t it be nice if we could take a few minutes of the day to slip away into a serene and calming setting where we could take a deep breath and meditate away the stresses of the day? DAY DREAM interiors bring together a selection of delicate colour schemes, soft fabrics and uplifting accessories to create a home that is heavenly and elegant.

White is one of the key colours in creating a day dream inspired home however stark white can often seem a little bland and clinical. Instead opt for tonal hues such as antique white, ivory and vanilla or include whites with an undertone of colour such as dove grey, eggshell, corn silk and linen. If you like a pop of subtle colour in your home then partner these neutral hues with pastel and dusky colours such as baby pink and blue, mint, lemon and blush for a soft and feminine finish. You could also add wallpaper to your interior space, concentrating on delicate and unobtrusive prints and patterns such as watercolours, simple floral or clouds or opt for a wall mural featuring a relaxing landscape, or natural sky.

To retain the feeling of calm and serenity, select soft furnishings and fabrics that are light and moveable and create illumination in your chosen room. Satins and furs make a great addition to a day dream inspired room as they create texture within your chosen space. Opt for heavy satin curtains in soft white or pastel tones that can be draped in flowing swags and pooled along the floor for visual style and elegance. Choose co-ordinating upholstery across your seats or bedding and include a scattering of satin and faux fur cushions and throws in subtle whites, greys and pastels that will create a cosy and inviting space to curl up and drift off into a Zen like trance.

Your choice of accessories should not dominate your room or overcrowd your space to avoid a cluttered look against the serene backdrop. Stick to subtle colours and shapes across your accessories to create a fluid and peaceful appearance. Simple white ceramics will blend into the backdrop while giving a chic and refined finish to the room. Shimmering chrome or silver accessories will add a pop of glamour to your chosen room while complimenting the soft colours and fabrics in your home. Clear crystal vases, candleholders and frames will create a dream like feel in your chosen interior and you can include some pastel flowers and elegant fluid chandeliers or floor lamps for added visual detail.

Try and keep your furniture options as light and illuminating as possible. For a shimmering and shining finish then opt for a selection of silver or mirrored furniture that will reflect light around the room and create an opulent yet elegant look that works particularly well in living room and bedroom interiors. For a minimal look that is perfect for smaller homes, select some clear glass furniture in fluid and curvaceous shapes that will give a modern feel that is delicate and serene. If you prefer a more classic feel, opt for white painted furniture in ornate French or simple country style designs that will compliment the light and uplifting backdrop whilst providing a functional focal point in your chosen room.
