This is a post-it for you, darling, who didn’t consider 1900 epoque floor tiles instead of a cheap ( the idea is cheap, of course ) and terribly popular white oak parquet.
Everybody choose white oak parquet.
But we are not goats.
So here the good alternative to wood floors. But with more taste.

Unquestionable.
Georgian british interiors risk to be one of the most interesting decor styles of the world.
If you don’t know what it means, see “The king’s speech“: a tribute to beauty and elegance.
Yes, the royal house speeks by herself with rare furniture and golden details, but the most part of the movie rings around entire rooms decorated with liberty wallpapers.
Buy them here, in London, of course:
Bradbury & Bradbury Art Wallpapers
In The King’s speech you can see one of the most incredible movie locations of ever: the Lionel Logue’s ‘Harley Street’ consulting room, so delabrè, that even Amy Winehouse used for the “Rehab” video .
This extraordinary consulting room with striking windows and wonderfully distressed wallpaper is, amazingly, part of the same elegant Georgian house located at 33 Portland Place that provided the royal couple’s ‘Piccadilly’ home. One house for two opposite atmospheres: half royal half popular.

The house is currently used as one of London’s most idiosyncratic party venues.

If you want to simulate that wall in your house… look at the the color spectrum!

It’s raining here in Milan, Italy.
So, let’s dream colours that remind us spring time… pastel colours!
The rule: pink, green, blue, orange, jellow, purple… plus white.
Everything becomes fresh, and quiet. Soft like candyfloss.
This new trend comes from North Europe.
Especially the pastel pink trend.
Don’t ask me why, I just know that I’m lovin’ it!
Above all if it’s a man decorating with this uncommon colour.
Indigo kiss,

Here we go, spring is behind the door.
Let’s open windows and let the sun kiss our hair. And Philodendrum…
Remember that design is not enought for a house to be interesting, charming, unique.
Never.
Even if you have a good taste and curiosity for new tendencies.
Interiors are not like clothes!
The secret is: personalize your spaces with something that nobody can have.
Surprise your hosts with plants from all over the world…
… transform the living room in an exothic winter garden!
I’m sure of it: nobody has a Phalaenopsis gigantea collection, or a moss wall in the patio…
Buy a “Buddha’s Hand” ( the Citrus_medica_var._sarcodactylus ) instead of a banal and kitch Kartell stool!

Let’s celebrate artist Frida Kahlo walking by her house.
The Blue House: mirror of her artistic sign, full of nature, colours, flowers and animals.
She is everywhere. Especially in the heart of the house: the exotic garden.
Even interiors are full of stuff.
Characteristic ornaments and sculptures are hanged on primary colours walls or putted on the stairs, in honour of her beloved Mexico.
This is a rich and pullulating perfect place to live… and to die.
Now Frida Kahlo’s house is a museum.
Go visit it.

Most curious piece: the canopy bed with the mirror on the cover (see the pic below).

The Royal Tenenbaums, a masterpiece for so many reasons.
First of all thanks to the main background… the family house interiors.
I will recount it through a recurrent detail into the Tenenbaums house.
Yes. Wallpapers.
The most beautiful and interesting room is Margot’s room… a riot of Africa into a typical british bowindow.
So cool her wallpaper full of zebras and arrows! It’s a cult product made by the american Scalamandre company. Buy it here !
Look at Richie’s room. So dreamy. So childish.
Here a classic brocade next to velvet chairs and a vodkatini.
My favourite one…green and big leaves cover the walls of Margot’s hairdresser and beautician.
If you want to visit it…
search for this flag!
I’ll give you a clue… 339 Convent Avenue!
Have a good trip,

Balloons, so simple.
Balloons, so colorfull.
I could walk every day around Milan with tons of big and rounded balloons.
Everything becomes poethic.
Elegance becomes funny.
They are just a piece of plastic, but look how they give a greater impact to pics.
The cheapest way to trasform a normal space in an amazing place.
Up! Up! Up!

It’s so easy to understand when a woman lives alone…
Everything is clean.
Everything is in the right place, although it seems cahotic.
When a woman is alone, she loves herself like no one.
And the most important room…is the bedroom.
Often sofisticated, with printed beautiful fabrics, smell of flowers and jewels everywhere.
More then clothes, silence and smell of clean are the priority.
…in the hope to finding a man that brings some disorder with him.

It’s so difficoult to find a beautiful eclectic house.
Most of time they result just full of stuff from various periods but not cool.
Look at this interior! where lots of different styles live in the same room, chatting in armony.
This house narrates the whole life of the owner, trips, moments, habits…
There’s something exotic in it: it reminds me the story of an explorer around South America’s jungles.
It smells of butterflies.
It smells of a real home.
Have a good visit!
Dedicated to Gianmatteo Malchiodi di B. and Ottavia Poli
