As an interior designer, I find that objects have a singular importance. Inspiration often comes from an object, in terms of colour, shape or the story it tells… And sometimes it’s the most unexpected objects that become the centrepiece of a space. Diverting an object from its original function gives it a second life, full of character, authenticity and creativity.
Here are some inspirations that combine originality and eco-responsibility:
–An antique sieve transformed into a bohemian pendant light: a very trendy style that will bring warmth and softness to your rooms.
–Boat oars turned into curtain rods: a nautical or rustic touch that will enhance your windows.
–Antique window frames reused to frame photos or paintings: a tribute to vintage charm.
–Antique toys transformed into furniture handles: a playful touch for your children’s bedroom drawers.
–A carved door reinvented as a headboard: a masterpiece of country chic.
–A bicycle transformed into a washbasin: a daring vintage bathroom!
–Shutters turned into a canvas to hang your decorations: your photos, creative souvenirs and plants will create a shabby chic atmosphere.
Why divert your objects?
Personalisation: create your own unique decoration in your own image.
Originality: add history and character to your interior.
Pro tip: If you are renovating, choose objects that harmonise with the existing materials and style. A distracting object needs to captivate while remaining coherent.
