"Oh Natural"



"Natural Inspiration"


I am inspired by almost anything and everything. My creative "right side of my brain" sees Colour first, then Patterns and lastly imagines the Texture and Feel... Nature always inspires me and never fails with her bountiful fruits of her Labour...From Wood-carvings from a dried out tree trunk; to Gemstones un-earthed from her Depths and even the outlined Skulls of animal caucuses that lie about the Saharan Desert.The sounds of the trickling Stream brings some kind of Balance to this unstable World of Existence. Just her way of her reminding us that we're ALIVE!!

"Texture - Love the Assortment of Natural Weaves"

"Nature's Bountiful Fruits of her Labour"

"The Trickling Sound of a Stream"

"The Comfort of Nature"

I have such a Passion for Naturals...be it "Fabric" Blends like Cotton; Linen and Jute to "Colour" tones from Beige Sands to Cappuccino Coloured Creams...Naturals create Simplicity and Balance to any Room. They are not only Grounding Composites but add Texture and Pattern without disturbing the other inhibitors of the Design Elements.

Get Inspired by Nature with all her Wonder...Happy Decorating...Til next time F.K...:-)

"Proudly South African"

I love living in South African. I think it's one of the most "Colourful" Countries in the World. That is why we are called the "Rainbow Nation".

From our Flora and Fauna; to the Culture of our People...even our Landscapes are enriched with Colour. We are Inspired because we are surrounded by Colour all the time.

The Back drops which Mother Nature creates under the "African  Sky" is almost her way of shining the light in the best position for us to en capture the perfect photograph.

I often look to Nature for Inspiration,when embarking on a new project. The Colour Palettes which Nature throws at you can be brought to life in any Decor Schemes.

So next time you in South Africa look around you - to Table Mountain rich for it's texture and foliage. To Sunny Durban with our rich  "Foamy Teal Tones" to the Rural Transkei with "Sapphire Blue" huts embedded amongst the "Emerald Green Escarpment" to the Zulu Ladies embellished with Layers of Colourful Beads and Patterned Attire. Nothing says "Colour" like the "African Spirit" in South Africa.

"Look to Nature for Inspiration"

In my last post I chatted about PINTEREST - This is whereby I stumbled upon this fantastic "Colour Inspiration" site called design-seed. The endless amount of Colour Co-ordinating tips...the list goes on. Here are a few to get you Inspired.

Check out the website:www.design-seed.com.

"Carrot Strips"

Using lovely tones of Orange and Coral mixed with a weathered Grey tone and even adding a touch of Pink.

"Pink Flower

Pinks and Mauve's are always a favourite teamed up with Olive or Lime Greens.

"Pearliest Shell"

Ocean inspired Blues echoing shades of Grey and Foamy White.

"Worn Wood"

Neutrals are always a favourite backing for a Monochromatic Colour Scheme

"A basket of Eggs"



A Lovely Palette of French Blues with Light Peachy undertones.



"Worn-out Colour"



This is one of my favorite Colour Scheme - love these sorbet colours.

"Sugar Coated"



Next time you look at a Vegetable or a Flower or a Even a piece of Wood - Look at it in it's Colour Intensity. Take all the shades,tones and tints and echo these out into a Colour Scheme. It is not only great fun but it also allows you to explore different options when using Colour.

'Til next time...Happy Colouring:-)FK.
