Readers in the US will already know all about the new trend for ‘undecorating’ but for those of us in the UK, the term at least is relatively new although the idea behind it, not so much. Undecorating is something interiors bloggers have been doing for years; namely, breaking all the rules and stepping away from the matchy-matchy cataloguey look to basically do whatever takes your fancy that looks good, without a stylist telling you what that might be. It’s not rocket science, but the term to it is kinda nifty.
Christiane Lemieux, of DwellStudio, has written a book celebrating Undecorating (it’s called, er Undecorate), and I interviewed her all about it for a piece in the Independent. My piece appeared last week (you can read it here), and a sneak of some of the photos from the book below.
Go forth and undecorate, bloggers.
So now there's a word for the style I love! Awesome
yep, anything goes
Love it! A relaxed approach is so so much better than strictly matchy matchy!
I absolutely love this style and the “undecorate” term is new to me. Learned something new today.
Athough Diana was too young to realize the difference, she still had many chances later. She would chose to leave when the marrige disappeared. But she didn’t want to over it. She still wanted to continue the title of “little black dresses” even the world knew they had no more feelings.
Great stuff, I love the tree!
I love this idea, although in many ways it seems like you have to have a better sense of style to make this work, than with actual decorating!
Furniture Camden have some bright designs though that would look great with this style. Although this is also the perfect design trend to upcycle (or downcycle!) what you already own!
