A beautiful boho cottage (to rent!) in Byron Bay

Stop the press! I was planning on posting a completely different home tour today. And then this space happened. Everything had to be re-written (even though I've got a flight to catch!). Photographer and stylist extraordinaire Louise Roche recently captured Haveli cottage for Airbnb owner, Heidi (yes, it is available to rent...!). Described as an 'Indonesian & Indian inspired luxe cottage', the boho property is located in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia and is decorated throughout using items from Heidi's iconic shop. As if we needed another excuse to travel Down Under?!

Photographer and stylist: Louise Roche / The Design Villa

Could you imagine spending your holiday here?

Louise also used the cottage as the most beautiful backdrop ever for three of her clients: The Boho Bungalow, Rock Ribbins Eco Gifts and Shima Lifestyle (some of the items of which can also be seen in these pics). She is organising a new collaboration shoot from Port Douglas soon, if you're selling homeware, fashion or jewellery and would like to participate pop her a mail here.

Similar items (I love): jute rug, Indonesian straw bag, Batik cushions.

Other absolutely stunning homes in Australia (in case you missed them) include a light and airy cottage,  the retro beach house and a pared-back home in neutrals. And of course, if you don't already - I highly recommend following Australian design blogs Dust Jacket and The Design Files (please feel free to add your blog tips in the comment section below!).

Right. I'd better get packing for my trip to London this afternoon. Go, go go!

Have a lovely day!

The happy and eclectic home of Ingrid Jansen

Hello Monday! This is the best Monday morning I've had in weeks. I'm on the train heading over The Bridge to Copenhagen for a day of shopping. Eeeee! But first. Today's post. Since I'm feeling super happy and relaxed I've decided to go for something similarly chilled. You might recognise the lovely 'handmade home' of Ingrid Jansen of Wood & Wool Stool from this post. And now my talented friend Holly Marder has paid a visit and captured her Dutch home from a whole new angle. Think bright colours, beautiful vintage Boucherouite rugs, and flea market finds. What a perfect home tour to kick off the week?

Absolutely loving those bright pops of colour against the white - how about you?

Get the look: bright coloured Boucherouite rug (also love the rugs and cushions sold here), Ingrid sells the pattern to make your own fab pineapple cushion or throw here. This sun burst mirror is similar. Subscribe to Milk Decoration here.

You can see more fab pictures of this home on Holly's blog or over at Decor8. Enjoy!

In case you missed them, you might want to check out these homes with lovely, bright splashes of colour: a relaxed home in Florida, a Swedish home with a relaxed vibe and a happy studio in L.A.  

Is this your kind of style?

Oh, and excited to have finally got started on a sitting room make-over in my own home. Here's the latest. 

Have a great start to the week! 

PS Thank you so much to everyone for entering the Snug Hug & Co give-away this weekend. I'm excited to announce that the winner has now been revealed here!
