Recently a friend of mine was looking to open a cafe and asked me to help with the design.

We all love food but when there is an amazing set up the experience of eating is so much better!

I have collected some images of cafes that I find inspiring and a little bit different.

If you like anything or have any ideas let me know

pastel

I am loving anything pastel right now, it is everywhere and is summers biggest trend in design, homes, fashion and food!

For the home I would suggest to use pastels with blonde timbers and white which really make them pop. All pastels look devine together so mix as many as possible to make a gorgeous space.

If you want to want to take it a step further mix the lighter colours with a neon colour, the contrast works so well :)

essentials

Sixhands has recently released the Essentials cushion collection. Great quirky designs and also eco friendly.
The prints come on Eco Linen basecloth, finished with french seam and 100% feather down inner.
This range is very different to their usual vibrant colour schemes but still make just as much of a statement.
Check out the entire Sixhands range http://www.sixhands.com.au/

ps

We all love a bargain and Ikea have just released a new range - Ikea PS 2012!
They have asked their designers to find inspiration in over 60 years of Ikea's design history. The designers have recreated 46 products which I had the pleasure of viewing a few weeks ago.
The 19 designers were challenged to bring the designs forward by updating and innovating forms, functions, materials and sustainability.
Check out the Ikea website for the entire range and also an amazing link http://psathome.ikea.com/ where you can see homes from all over the world using the products!
