St George's Day interior inspiration...

In celebration of St George's Day we've been taking a look at interiors with a red/white twist...

It's a classic colour combination for a kid's room...and works well for both boys and girls...

This stylish bedroom in a polish apartment has the makings of a great kid's room...

I think I'd replace the shelving with back to back wardrobes...!



And how about this for a family living room...? Plenty of space to run around in...

Happy St George's Day



London Skyline inspires interior style.

All eyes will be on London over the next few months...I don't really need to remind anyone why do I...?
It's no surprise then that the city's distinctive skyline is influencing interiors right now.

Here are a few examples that appeal to us at Dreams and Wishes...

Cushions, cushions, cushions...just can't get enough...especially when they're as stylish as these...

Check out the little helicopter flying over Tower bridge...

Even sticky tape's had a make-over....

Enjoy the London sights from the comfort of your own home this Summer and be top of the trend charts too.



More on Union Jacks...

Following on from my last post...well, not quite...but it's all in the name...Union Jacks!

This time Jamie Oliver's new restaurant in St Giles, London...designed by the creative team at Blacksheep

Described as serving British food...they do Arctic Roll!...in an environment of '..post-war British nostalgia..'

I kinda' like the retro ice-cream colours...in line with Spring/Summer trends for this year. 

I like the haphazard neon sign, vintage cinema board displaying the menu and the Formica tables too.

Did I mention the word 'retro' yet...?

Oh! And did you spot the obvious link to my last post....of course you did!

Union Jack interior ideas...

With the Olympics and Queen's Jubilee this Summer, the Union Jack is making a return to the High Street in all forms....
