Axel Vervoordt – I stumbled across Axel while trawling antique sites and have been a complete fan ever since. I managed to source his book,  Timeless Interiors. These two images are from that book.

Axel is an antique dealer and collector based in Belgium. He hit the public radar with his magnificent display of recovered ming vases at the 1984 Antiques Fair in Paris.

This room has such a relaxed feel at the same time being very “done” if that makes sense. Uncluttered lines combined with the harmonious colour, it is well put together.  The Hans vase housing the oversized fern branch on the antique Chinese console, I love the way it drapes itself across – eluding to that relaxed nature of the room.

I will continue to share pages that inspire.

ps: let me know if you would like you’re very own copy.

I love timber and all it’s tones. It makes a room feel connected and calm.

I really like the combination of the natural elements used in this room. The linen sofa covers and cushion, mercury glass huricane,  Kiva coffee table and lamp table in elm complimented with the  forest wallpaper gives this room a contemporary, inviting feel.

For any enquiries on the Kiva range please call or email us.

‘Gainsborough’ was included in the Brisbane National Trust of Queensland’s “Dating your Home Guide” as an example of 1880′s architecture. The hallway features rough sawn timber boards and 1880′s English print dado filling and frieze wallpapers which were at the height of popularity at the time. Now displayed behind glass and representing both the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ the owners evidence their passion in combining provincial, modern and country styling.

My Heart belongs to all things derived from the earth; linen, cotton, timber and of course flora. The organic element of the product brings with it a sense of belonging and I think that is what grounds a room and makes me feel relaxed in an instant.

These sneak peeks of an apartment in Albert Park defines effortless elegance.

Have a good week end.

Handsome and inspiring, brass hardware from top to toe and a wonderful aged patina puts this item on the top of everyone’s wish list.
