Reader question: Can you find me an alternative wallpaper?

On January 30th, 2010 by .

QUESTION:

Hi Pippa

I recently came across the Farrow and Ball paper, called Ranelagh, its a
diamond trellis, in a metallic, its colourway number BP 1806.

I received a sample and love the paper, its neutral and yet adds great
warmth, I want to use it for the back wall of a hall over 2 floors.

Anyhow my question to you is, is there any less expensive alternative, its a
very pricey paper and the site only allows min. Order quantities of 3 rolls,
which makes it an expensive mistake should we not like !!

Anyhow alternative recommendations for such a paper, suitable , would be
really greatfully appreciated,

ANSWER:
Hi Mary,

Thanks for your email.

Below are some links of several alternative wallpaper options.
Other suppliers to try are B&Q as they have some very stylish
and affordable papers at the moment, Osborne and Little & Nono

Update on pub renovation

On January 27th, 2010 by .

The pub renovation job is going well.  I met with the Builder today to discus my ideas and show him the room plans I have designed.  They are due to start ripping out the old rooms in a few weeks and then the fun starts!  We are now designing 6 rooms rather than 5 as apparently if you have 6 rooms or more then you can class yourself as a hotel.  This in turn means you can be listed in all the good hotel guides and hopefully gain star ratings.

We now have  a deadline of the beginning of May as all the rooms have been booked out for a wedding – there’s nothing like a tight deadline to work towards!  It will be great to style though and I am really looking forward to creating a little boutique hotel!  I will keep you posted with the next installment…no doubt there will be a new baby by then as I am now due in 6 days!

Styling the latest Wii commercial

On January 20th, 2010 by .

We have now finished the Wii commercial and no baby!  A big thank you to my brilliant assistant Jo Thornhill who put in 100% (as always).  The shoot was a success and everyone seemed very pleased with the set!  I’ll post a link to the new commercial when it’s aired.   So, 2 weeks to go until the baby arrives and I’m still finishing off a few bits – I think I’m a workaholic!  At least I am working from home now rather than in the office ;0)

Interior styling for a pub renovation

On January 20th, 2010 by .

Well, it’s now 3 weeks until my second baby arrives and I am praying she doesn’t come early so that I can finish all of my styling jobs!

We have been asked to transform the upstairs of a pub by turning the 5 unused rooms into modern and welcoming guest rooms.  I have to say, it’s a fantastic job to be working on as we have total creative control of the design.  Once we have finished the rooms I will post a feature with all of the ‘before’ and after pics.

Designing and decorating is always a challenge. You have to combine practicality with style. The client gives you an idea of what they would like, what their requirements and budget are. It is then up to the designer to interpret the client’s wishes. This applies to all jobs, from homes to Aviva offices (http://www.aviva.co.uk), fusion restaurants and boutique hotels. It is great to be given free reign with the design– it means your client fully trusts your creative choices.

Final compositions of interior design should be attractive and appropriate. It needs to complement the image and work of your client. There are so many options for each client in terms of colour, furniture, textures– the interior designer is free to create with all palettes and tools available within the right context. Check back soon for updates on the pub rooms!

Jigsaw launches new homeware collection

On January 20th, 2010 by .

I am quite excited about this new Jigsaw homeware range as it’s the first time they  have branched out into interiors.  Well known for their muted and delicate colour palette in their fashion collections, Jigsaw will be looking to carry this same theme through into their new homeware range and it looks set to be rather special…It’s going to be available through House of Fraser  from early February 2010.

These images show examples of their new bedlinen collection which will consist of high quality cotton and linen which has been inspired by the British eccentricity.

Here is what they have to say….The collection has a distinctly British feel and features several designs inspired by Jigsaw clothing or iconic branding. The Wobble Spot design features the distinctive blue and white Jigsaw dot which fans of the brand will recognise as the print on wrapping paper used in stores. For a current fashion reference, the neutral coloured CapuletVegas cushion features another reference to Jigsaw’s fashion history with folded silk embellishment inspired by the Vegas clutch bag from the 2009 collection. Available in gold, silver or blush pink, there’s a Vegas cushion to mix or match to every design in the collection.

I visited the East London Design Show last weekend and it was full of fantastic last minute gift ideas for Christmas. The show is one of the largest of it’s kind in London, with over 100 independent product designers exhibiting their wares.

Here, I list my favorite products from the show:

alp – alp is a design studio led by Swiss born, London based Annick L Petersen. Highlights from her homewares collection include white linen cushions with red stitched satin text, and plates with the same design. The text is inspired by Edith Piaf’s ‘La vie en rose’.

Plumo, fashionable home accessories

On January 20th, 2010 by .

Plumo, what can I say, they are still one of my favourite mail order companies.  I wanted to feature some of their pretty accessories as they are  spot on with the forth coming Southern Folk trend that Pippa Jameson Interiors has predicted for 2010 and 2011.  Below is our original moodboard followed by all the pretty accessories from Plumo.  My absolute favourite is the Batik lampshade, I think they would look fantastic as a collection of three above a dining table.
