A colourful jigsaw of a shop
Wed, 25 Mar 2015
Like a giant puzzle box this compact tea shop by Brazilian architect Alan Chu unfolds its colour blocks to reveal its wares. Compact with impact. So clever.

Inside Out's Colour issue
My monthly email from Inside Out magazine's Managing Editor Lee Tran Lam landed in my inbox and I got colour bombed! It's time for their April Colour issue with its two covers and promises to be a rainbow kaleidoscope of fun interiors.
There's one unapologetically vibrant home that I think you'll love ... It belongs to stylist, retailer and international pilot LeeAnn Yare, and her home is an express trip through a memorable world of colour. (I love that she waited until her husband Glen went away surfing before setting out to paint the living area black – seize the day, indeed!) A leftover wallpaper roll gets a second life as bright harlequin-style patterns multiplying across her kitchen island bench, while even her children's bathroom is decorated with Florence Broadhurst motifs. My favourite example of her wonderfully unreformed love of decoration is her office space, where the a vintage-looking carpet is cut into a cowhide shape and her walls have rejected anything resembling a blank space – the surfaces are covered in stretches and patchworks of wallpaper – she says it's like working inside a gigantic moodboard! LeeAnn styled the story and it was photographed by Larnie Nicolson.
Wow! Can't wait to see more in this month's issue out tomorrow. Don't fret if you aren't in Australia though. You can read along on Zinio, Google Play, the Apple Newsstand and Nook.

Don't be shy
In these spaces, someone was not shy with colour - whether in large or small doses. A little colour pick-me-up for your afternoon. From the portfolio of photographer Thomas Loof.

Welcome to the bold, contemporary world of Brazilian interior architect Paula Neder...where colours and patterns are aplenty and chair porn is the name of the game (I looooove the 'bondage' chairs!).

Amory Brown
While I recuperate from my 10 days in Mexico :( I leave you with some beautifully designed spaces from the ecelctic portfolio of Amory Brown - a creative design studio based in the heart of Central London and founded by Lucy Heathcoat Amory and Hannah Brown.
