New rugs in the house!

Summer is over and my usual need to change things up each season has arrived!

I'm loving my 2 new rugs from Miss Amara Loves and the freshness they have brought to the rooms.

I'm still sticking with the neutral tones throughout the house with just a pop of colour here and there. My various plants definitely add the texture and colour in each room. It all feels very calming.

In the living room I have this gorgeous patterned bamboo silk rug. It's so pretty and soft and has a grey hue which is perfect for this high traffic area and any dirty feet (boys or dog!). 

It camouflages any marks better than a cream or white.

I love that I can keep the rest of the room simple and have the rug as the focus.

In the bedroom we replaced our old rug with this amazing wool rug. 

The colour and pattern is simple which I love as it works with my various bedlinen. Also the wool adds a cosy feel to the room which is perfect as we go into the cooler months.

I'm so happy with them and they really add that "something" to the room.

I'm loving the larger size of the rugs which feels a little more luxe and finishes off the rooms perfectly.

These rugs are amazing quality and I've noticed the difference in how they sit and feel compared to our old ones. They don't rumple or crease or have corners sticking up.

I think I'm going to add one more rug to my other living space. I'll let you know how I go!

Have you added anything new to your home lately? 

Are you like me and love to change things up with the seasons?

Interior Inspiration - my favourite things from Down That Little Lane

I was asked to put together my favourite things from Down That Little Lane for their current newsletter.

With one week left until our renovations are complete and we move home, I was drawn to all things homewares and interior related. 

I can see the look I am going for in my head, now just to bring it all together. I was leaning towards all the neutral, natural tones with interest brought in via different textures and finishes.

Here is what I am loving over at Down That Little Lane at the moment...

I am really loving it all! I also love the excuse of a new season to change things up a bit. It's the perfect time to put away the summery stuff and add a few more cosy things ready for Autumn/Winter.

Anything catching your eye?

Do you change things up seasonally?

It's been a black + white week.

So it's the first day of Autumn today and it seems fitting that my tastes have strayed a little from colour and moved towards black and white.
It all started with these rugs I bought from Ikea. I wanted to change the natural sisal one over to something a little cosier and softer for Noah. (that's my excuse!)

I am loving the black + white stripes with the black floorboards and the white walls. It makes the little spots of colour pop even more!

I also couldn't resist buying this b+w chevron mug from Woolies,to use as a vase. It looks perfect next to the lightbox.

And I found myself dressed in b+w today. I'm co-ordinating with the cushions! Black jeans and a dotty top from Trenery :) Cushions from Freedom.

Now I'm just about to have a little bit of brownie and vanilla ice-cream. May as well keep the theme going! ;) Do you every find yourself surrounded by certain colours? (or lack of them like me!)
