say it with words

Lets face it, our homes are one of the most personal and intimate spaces. They reflect who we and our families are. Its only right that we decorate and adorn them with things that are specific and relevant to us. So we thought for this weeks blog post that we would focus on prints, but specifically quotes. Quotes are a perfect way to incorporate that individual touch to a room and home. There are quotes that are specific to every room, and they can be taken form all different places and inspirations. You could select a favourite song, a film, a book, poetry, an artist or even use a quote that is personal to you, that may have a symbolic or sentimental memory attached. Quotes help to keep us motivated and inspired, so why not have one or two dotted around the home as a subtle reminder (we all need a little help now and then).

Typographic prints are one of our favourites and there are a huge range of fonts and styles to choose from. The right font really does help enhance and compliment a quote, bringing the message and meaning behind it to life. You can keep it graphic and minimalistic with just simple black and white or pick prints that incorporate both type and imagery. Metallic foils add a touch of luxury and add a little more style and uniqueness. 

With Christmas looming these could make a really personal and thoughtful gift.
There really is a huge range of prints available, you can even have your own prints made to order. Here are just a few that we have picked out.

adventure is out there

Slogans and quotes have had a huge influence in homeware over the last few years. Its a personal and interesting way of adding a positive and individual touch to a home. 

If you are a keen adventurer or lover of the great outdoors then you may want to add this theme of quotes into your home. Filtered, Instagram inspired photos combined with simple handwritten typography, create graphic and inspiring quotes that would make any one of us want to pack our backpack and go out on an adventure (ourselves included).

Its all about bringing the outdoors indoors and bringing ourselves closer to the beautiful scenery and iconic landscapes that our world has to offer. Its a positive reminder for us all that there is so much out there for us to see and explore. Beautiful sunsets and picturesque scenery seem to personify this trend, with the images remaining photographic and realistic. 

It doesn't all have to be quotes you could incorporate other elements of nature and the idea of exploration. Adding animal inspired pieces could inject a sense of fun to this outdoors inspired theme.

Here are a few pieces we have found that we feel would motivate any one of us to embrace our sense of adventure.
