We don’t know about others but our attention spa

We don’t know about others but our attention span has shortened considerably at present, which makes our upcoming book, Living Well By Design @vendomepress especially great right now. As it allows you to pick and choose from some of the world’s most beautiful homes including this Sydney stunner with pool pavilion designed by @thomashamel for year-round use. No matter what style you’re seeking, you’ll find it on the pages which will inspire you to find happiness and comfort at home. Most important it will show you how to live a more stress-free life which is perhaps the most important luxury in our increasingly chaotic times. Let us show you how it all starts with a sense of place by creating your own little world within your property’s boundaries. A place that feels timeless and sits happily within its location wherever you live. A home that’s intimately connected to its landscape will create a heart-stopping experience. There’s no point living somewhere beautiful if you don’t know how to make the most of it. Keeping this sense of place in mind will imbue your place with a coherence that unites all elements - decorating, landscaping, materials and structure - so they work together as a whole. PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY. Link in Bio - and create a happy home that will boost your confidence and wellbeing! MX.

See how we can all ask more of our homes. And learn the four fundemental concepts of design you can apply in your own home as we share the basic principles that can catapult your pad to new healing heights in our upcoming book, Living Well By Design, @vendomepress. Our decorating basics will help you make sense of what good design really is and help you discover a well-designed Interior’s secrets (they’re not what you think). There’s nothing more uplifting than spaces which engage the senses and reflect the owner’s personality. There’s a hundred reasons to buy the book, but for us, it’s about creating a beautiful, happy home for you and your loved ones. We have our reason, you will have yours, and the people reading this will have theirs too. Maybe you want your home to be a sanctuary, learn to balance light and space, or begin the search for your home’s new look (we’ve included a dazzling selection of the world’s best houses that will lift your whole life); and packed it full of 30 year’s decorating advice. It’s the ultimate decorating guide; and a great lesson in how to decorate well and with confidence. Whatever reason, PRE-ORDER TODAY AT AMAZON.

After the initial shock of the pandemic and restrictions, many of us are realising we are more adaptable than we think. In every way of life, we are in real time figuring out how to meet our needs while many stay closer to home. We have found the benefits of virtual travel a welcome escape, with tech allowing us to visit any place in the blink of an eye. Oh and if the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that being in nature drops our cortisol levels, makes us calmer and improves our mood. After spending so much time indoors, having access to fresh air and nature at home has become a priority, head to the blog to check “What Does Home Mean To Us Now?” Our findings might surprise you...at www.melissapenfold.com now. Repost @lemasdelachapelle - a reminder: things of stone and water are a fave.

The materials no home should be without? Stone, timber and steel - which all have an affinity with the environment - such as this house in Austin, Texas. The soaring metal windows connect the hallway (one of the most used areas of a house) to the outdoors, enhancing the feeling of space. Rustic timber ceiling beams with a hand-hewn look, stone walls reminiscent of medieval French or Spanish villas against dark wood flooring give the interior a specific atmosphere; with generous windows and colonnading making the house feel huge.
