Celebrities
aren't just good for entertainment in gossip magazines, sometimes they
actually have incredible style and home decor that is worth emulating.
This is the first post in a two-part series about Celebrity decor in
which we will share some of our favourite images of celebrities abodes
and suggest styling tips to recreate and appropriate some of the
different styles shown in these celebrity homes. Look our for part two
which will include more styling tips and stunning images that give us a
peek inside some of our favourite celebrities' homes!
You
may be surprised to find out that this first stylish and cheerful abode
belongs to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his lovely wife Sharon!
Featuring a clean white background, the two have then created their own
style through a contrasting mix of classic and modern pieces. Little
pops of colour (pale blue furniture, gold pieces, fresh floral
arrangements, colourful food, etc) give their home life and a fresh and
slight bohemian appearance generally associated with beach houses.
Recreating
Sharon and Ozzy's style is all about balance and contrast. Throughout
their abode they clash the masculine with the feminine while retaining a
bohemian beach-like aura through specific colour palette choices. A
butterfly backed chair (such as the one in the bottom left hand corner
in the Osbourne's abode) adds a feminine and regal grace to a room.
Check out our
Rena Butterfly Chair (above) to add a similar mood to your home!

Meanwhile, Ozzy might feel much more at home on a throne such as our
Godfather Chair. The masculinity and modern style of the
Godfather Chair, clashed with the regal and femininity of the Rena Butterfly Chair is essential feature to appropriating their style.
Available in black leather look or natural linen, our
Godfather Chair
is one of the most comfortable chairs that you could sit on - you just
sink into the soft cushioned bottom and supportive back - making it a
perfect spot to rest with a good book or watch your favourite television
show or movie.

Next
to complete their style you'll want to choose a statement colour (in
Ozzy and Sharon's case; pale blue) to repeat throughout different areas
of your house. We recommend checking out colour wheels such as the one
above to get an idea of what colour and tone you'd like to choose. Try
picturing what kind of mood you would like to convey throughout your
household and then pick a colour that captures that, for instance Sharon
and Ozzy have chosen pale blue which presents a beach-like, relaxed and
calm vibe. Contrast your chosen colour with neutrals such as brown and
tan as well as black and white. We also recommend thinking about
introducing bits of gold or silver (or both if you'd prefer!) into your
space as they will pair nicely with neutral and monochromatic shades
without competing with your chosen colour.
Olivia
Palermo has street style that is emulated by many and desired by
thousands and her reading nook contains a similar desirable elegance.
Simple but interesting, this little corner would be easy to appropriate
into any house - particularly if you do not have much space to work
with. The angled chair and unusual side table provide intrigue to the
space while scattered ornaments and items provide a personal touch.
Emulate Olivia Palermo's reading nook by choosing a chair or armchair that is a little bit unusual and unique. Our
Summer Peacock Chairs
(above) have a vintage relaxed style (we're thinking French balconies
in the Summer) that is contrasted by the bright modern shades of colour.
Available in blue, green, white and red - our
Summer Peacock Chairs are made from high quality rattan and bamboo and are sure to make a statement in any household!

If
you would prefer to keep the area monochromatic or are planning on
introducing colour through decorator pieces, check out our
Barcelona Chair! Fashioned in thick hide saddle from high grade Italian Leather with stainless steel, our
Barcelona Chair
is of the highest quality. A very modern piece, the interesting design
on the stainless steel frame and feet would draw attention without
taking away from other decorator pieces in the space.
We
also have an ottoman available to accompany this piece and both are
available in either black, white or tan leather depending on your own
personal preference and style.

Coconut Chair! Made from high quality Italian leather, fibreglass, stainless steel and a high density foam for optimum comfort - our
Coconut Chair
is the perfect piece for reading/watching television late at night with
a glass of wine and delicious cheese. If you enjoy entertaining company
in a smaller and more intimate setting, try pairing two or three of our
Coconut Chairs with a low coffee or side table; that way you'll have more space to share your wine and cheese!
Available in black or white leather.

Gerald Butler's kitchen clashes industrial appliances with vintage
furniture featuring a classic chandelier over a weather island bench,
long rectangular cupboards, pillars and a hat rack. The refined nature
of his kitchen prevents clutter and allows for pieces such as the
chandelier to really shine through and make a statement.
To emulate his style stick to classic vintage inspired pieces such as our
Eleanor Chandelier. Featuring a polished brass finished metal frame with glass beading, cups and droplets - our
Eleanor Chandelier is a statement piece that would balance well with weathered furniture pieces (ideally in black, white or brown).
The
mood of Gerald Butler's kitchen is warm and inviting so try to stick to
warmer colour tones and shades such as brown, cream (or off-white),
bronze, gold and orange/red tones for a touch of colour. The warm shade
of brass on our
Eleanor Chandelier is perfect for capturing a similar mood.

area for her family and friends to enjoy at her Los Angeles home.

An
outdoor couch really adds an air of comfort to any outdoor area. For a
gorgeous outdoor friendly option that doesn't spare on style or comfort,

If
you plan on focusing colour in decorator pieces, try mixing wood in
neutral tones into your outdoor area instead of coloured armchairs. Our
Driftwood Stool/Side Table is
gorgeous and functional as it works as both a side table and a stool
(cushion provided). Pieces like this are also fantastic if you have a
smaller outdoor area to work with.

Contrast
the pops of colour with an ottoman in leather or hide. If you do
decided to add a piece such as this to your outdoor area, ensure it is
under cover or moved inside to protect it against the elements (rain,
wind and sun damage).

A
great way to introduce more colour to this outdoor area is by choosing a
smaller, colourful ottoman. Our Moroccan Pouffe Pink (above) would make
for a comfortable foot rest or seating for a child. When choosing the
colours for your outdoor area, keep in mind how they will look together
and when paired with your other neutral pieces. Once again, we recommend
checking out a colour wheel to get an idea of how different colour
complement and contrast with one another. For Spring and Summer, we're
loving bright orange, pink, yellow and aqua's (or turquoise)!
Continue
contrasting colour through your cushion choice. Here are a few of our
favourite cushions for the Spring and Summer! (Click on the name to be
