I do love a pop of pink in my home, currently I am having a love affair with the palest of ballerina pinks.
I still love a punch of bright pink, but soft pretty pinks have stolen my heart lately, which is lucky because there are some truly breathtaking home decorating pieces around right now.
Of course, that is due to the Pantone colours of the year being Serenity and Rose Quartz.
I’ve rounded up 10 of my favourites for your home.
It seems y’all loved Arabella’s new study space that we created with Pottery Barn Kids. If you missed it you can find it here. It is a dreamy pink space, and it’s very girly.
I had a few of you ask about a boys study space. I thought I’d put together my favourite pieces for a boy’s room to give you some ideas and inspiration.
THE DESK
The Catalina Storage Desk is my pick for a boys desk, although it was a tough pick. The Catalina is available in cocoa or simply white. I think the cocoa is masculine and handsome, and I love the turned legs. It’s the little details that make a piece of furniture special.
A Large Hutch is also available to purchase separately. It has a handy cork board and cubby holes. I can just imagine all the stuff Orly would shove in those cubby holes, his superhero collection, favourite books and Tiny Teddy stash.
It’s also a great addition for school aged kids to keep their clutter under control.
I still love the Knox chair for it’s classic lines and good looks. I used it in Arabella’s room, and I would use the swivel version in my boys room. Boys can’t sit still, and they don’t have too on these smooth rolling castor wheels!
The Harper Rug in navy. Hand tufted from Indian and New Zealand wool, it’s comfortable enough for reading and racetracks on the floor, but durable enough to cope with rough and tumble boys.
Here’s where you inject some personality and make the space ‘theirs’.
I found a few things that I love and I would put in my boys study space.
I love these Navy Star Sabrina baskets and liners, and you can have them monogrammed in-store. I would label them for books, gadgets and toys. Storage options are a necessity. Everything should have a place, and surely it’s easier for the kids to put stuff away if the baskets are labelled!
Doesn’t it look amazing! The timber gives warmth to the crisp navy and white colour palette, and the accessories suggest a nautical feel. I love this look and I think it could grow with your boy from his toddler years all the way through to his teen years.
What do you think?
If navy isn’t your thing, I’ve created a couple of other moodboards to give you some inspiration.
I love this fun and colourful look. Keeping the furniture a neutral shade allows you to add pops of colour in the accessories. Green and orange look great mixed back with grey, and the rug ties it all together.
Elliot Desk & Hutch – find it here.
Know Swivel Desk Chair – find it here.
Chevron Multi Rug – find it here.
Awesome Cushion – find it here.
Orange Dog Bookends – find it here.
Bright Green Canvas Storage – find it here.
Red, white and Blue is a classic colour scheme for a boys rooms. Adding little details like red stitching on the blue canvas storage helps to give it a cohesive look. Again, the rug works perfectly to tie it all together.
Kendall Desk & Hutch – find it here.
Knox Stationary Desk Chair – find it here.
Tailored Striped Rug – find it here.

Star Chalkboard – find it here.

I hope you got some inspiration!

As promised … presenting the incredible home of half of the Gloria Linen and Home team.
This stunning little cottage is nestled in the hinterland at Montville on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Our shy owner worked with the the gorgeous girls at Highgate House to complete this project.
When our owner found the property it was not the beautiful space you see today, but she could see the potential and engaged Leigh Boswell from Highgate House to make her vision a reality.
And doesn’t it look amazing!
Lets start with the master suite. I love the gentle colour palette of white, browns and duck egg blue. It is relaxed and serene, but still packs a punch with the statement mirror and custom made roman blinds, that fabric is dreamy!
BEFORE
The cabinetry is stunning. The beautiful design with the mirror back was all custom made and doesn’t it look incredible?

The bathroom is finished with custom cabinetry, marble bench tops and floors, and beautiful shiny nickel fixtures.

The living space is finished in the same gentle colour palette as the bedroom which makes the little cottage flow beautifully. It is a small space, but it has everything you need without compromising on style.
BEFORE
Off the living area is this delightful little dining area complete with banquette seating and two statement chairs. The singular chairs have open backs that allow the space to feel open, but they also have a graphic design that acts as another piece of interest in the room.
And finally the kitchen, wow, just wow!
BEFORE
The lovely cast iron setting on the deck was a lucky Gumtree find that was re-powdercoated to bring it back to it’s former glory.

I could quite happily live there forever, isn’t it beautiful.
If you are inspired to do some shopping to ‘Get the Look’ you can browse at Gloria Linen and Home here.
Or if you are inspired to do your own reno, you can contact the girls at Highgate House here.
At Gloria Linen and Home they believe in superior quality, classic style and timeless pieces. They take joy in helping you create a beautiful home with simple pleasures and little luxuries.
Their product selection is simply stunning and I would proudly have any one of their items in my home. It is fabulous to find an online store where I have the confidence to order any piece without seeing or touching it, but knowing that the quality will be lovely, because Gloria Linen and Home puts exquisite craftsmanship, function and style at the heart of their brand.
Here are a few of my favourite pieces …
The Grande Events drinks tub is essential for keeping champagne cool at your summer soirees, it holds up to a dozen bottles and looks super stylish doing it! I have this one in my own home. It has featured in table settings for birthdays, dinner parties and New Years Eve, and FYI – It is equally as beautiful displaying potted flowers.
The New Bliss coverlet in white. Beautiful as a coverlet or casually draped at the end of your bed, the perfect weight for summer or an extra layer in winter, this coverlet ticks all the boxes.
The Ming pumpkin jar, Hello, it’s blue and white … no further explanation needed.
The Versailles range of glassware by La Rochere in pressed glass is classic, timeless and beautiful. I also have these tall glasses in my collection, I love setting the table with them, they add a lovely textured element with their decorative design inspired by the Palace of Versailles. I do love having a little bit of France at my table.
The Amelia Table Cloth, 8/10 seater. I have a big dining table, at 270cm long I find it near impossible to find table linen. Gloria Linen and Home has the best range of gorgeous table linens I’ve found, this one is particularly pretty in a blue and white floral.
Did somebody say high tea? The Ritz serving stand is perfect for any occasion, but I can see it piled high with petit fours and macarons, ohhhhh!
Who knew doing laundry could be so luxurious! The Laundress range from New York is colour-safe, eco-friendly and not tested on animals. There is a range of products for laundry and housekeeping. And can we just talk about that packaging, too gorgeous to put away, leave it out on display!
I was lucky enough to grab a coffee with one half of the super stylish faces behind Gloria Linen and Home, and even though she’s a little shy, I was able to find out a little bit more about Gloria Linen and Home.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you started Gloria Linen and Home?
I have always been a design obsessive, and I’d sooner buy a new throw or cushion than a pair of shoes!
It frustrated me that it was so difficult to find beautiful, classic homewares in Australia where we seem to see the largely same thing everywhere. I wanted to create a beautiful online emporium that truly delights our customers with an ever-evolving range.
To that end, we source our products from all over the world and I absolutely love being able to share my finds with our customers.
Why the name Gloria?
I named the business after my Grandmother who was the epitome of style and sophistication. She was a woman ahead of her time who exuded elegance and grace in every sense. These are the hallmarks of the philosophy behind everything we do here at Gloria.
You have such a beautifully curated selection of products. Do you source and select them yourself?
Yes, I source and select the entire product range. I’m always looking for special pieces that are timeless, classic and have a stylish edge. I love finding unique pieces that you don’t see everywhere. I am ever mindful of the expectations of our customers to showcase products that inspire and delight.
Do you have a favourite piece from your range?
Oooh, it’s difficult to choose, but I’d have to say I adore the French range of table linens by Olivades. The quality and weight of the fabrics and the provincial style prints are truly exquisite. The ‘Aurun’ vintage table cloth in Navy with the oversized paisley motif is my firm favourite, particularly for breezy outdoor Summer entertaining.

What is your design style in your own home?
I’ve always preferred classic over contemporary and a calming neutral colour palette. Classic architectural features such as timber joinery, natural flooring and stone bench tops provide a strong visual framework in any interior. It is worth taking the time to get this right as it anchors every other element in a room.
What is your latest interior décor crush?
I would have to say that I’m obsessed with trays of all shapes and sizes for different purposes. A simple glass or chrome tray is a lovely way to organise and display chic desk accessories, and is equally at home on the bathroom vanity for perfume, jewellery and a small vase of fresh flowers.
I love the resurgence of the retro sideboard display of barware with a classic mirrored tray, chic glassware and a traditional ice bucket. Our ‘Chicago’ range channels a sophisticated ‘Gatsby’ style and looks divine paired with our ‘Round mirrored tray’.
Do you like to stick with the classics or follow trends?
As soon as something becomes a trend, it instantly loses appeal! I have an aversion to mass production of any kind. Artisnal, unique and timeless pieces that are beautifully crafted never lose their lustre and transcend passing fads. This philosophy holds true in fashion and interiors alike.
What’s next for Gloria Linen and Home?
We will be expanding our range in 2016 to include furniture, rugs, mirrors and a much broader selection of beautiful decorative accents and bed linens. Stay tuned!
What’s on your current wish list?
Our Soiree drinks tub filled to the brim with French champagne! The Soiree has become a firm favourite in my circle of friends as a stylish and unique gift ‘for him’ instead of the standard issue socks, books and CD’s.
