new year florals

Happy 2015! As everyone else in the world is saying, I too can't believe we are already in 2015. I hope you all had wonderfully raucous New Years Eves and are settling back into the world of work. Or, for you lucky few, are enjoying the powder of slopes around the world. Nope, not a bit jealous. 

So, it's a new year and everyone is hitting the gyms, sipping nuclear green juices and eating pulses that probably shouldn't be nibbled on. Nothing is new. Yes, I too shall be attending a few lunchtime classes and maybe munch on a bit of kale here and there but mostly I'm not doing anything different. Instead I'm turning my attention to my home in London and breathing fresh air into it. 

This can be a little tricky when sharing with housemates, but little things here and there won't hurt and as long as you don't come home with a hide rug expecting your housemates to chip in, it'll be plain sailing. 

As you all know I am a flower lover so what better than starting the new year with fresh floral bedding. This spread was a steal from Zara Home and is beautiful.

   

   

Layer with a woolen blanket (chaps it's not summer yet) and a good quality feather duvet for a perfect nights sleep. 

I have grown up with fresh flowers at home so I have brought this little indulgence to my humble flat in SW6. 

   

I've even been a little green fingered this morning and planted up a white amaryllis which will bloom in 6-8 weeks. 

   

   

The sun has been blazing through the window today, giving everything a little floral halo. 

   

An easy and cheap way to enliven your home, head to your local florist or even M&S/Waitrose for a good quality house plant. You'll never have a dull day again, despite how persistent the rain may be. 

Here is some inspiration for you bedroom:

   

   

To a happy and flower filled 2015!
