|| AIR PLANTS | TILLANDSIA

 TILLANDSIA is a genus of around 650 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the Bromeliaceae family. They are more commonly known as AIR PLANTS because of their natural propensity to cling wherever conditions permit: tree branches, bare rocks etc. Most Tillandsia are EPIPHYTES translating to 'upon a plant' and do not grow in soil. They can be simply glued in position, tucked into a frame or just placed in a pot and therefore make for decorative and easy-to-care-for houseplants. Here are a few of my favourite inspirational pictures.

|| COLOUR PALETTE 1 | AMBER

During the first part of the year, when the Christmas decorations have been packed away, rooms can seem flat and dull. Soft furnishings, ornaments, flowers and lighting are an easy way to inject warmth and enliven a scheme.  This is the first of my suggested colour palettes using warm yellow ochres, rich amber, gold set against metal greys of zinc, pewter and nickel.  These are easily teamed with oyster beige and whites enabling them to fit into any neutral scheme. KEY ELEMENTS:   1.Textures: furs,  cracked and scratched surfaces, velvet, silk 2.Patterns:   geodes, rock strata, crystals, reptile,  woodgrain   3.Finishes: gilded and reflective surfaces, translucence, lustre, matt and dry finishes Above image: SCDA Architects  contemporary living room featuring greyed oak shelving and concealed lighting   Above images: 1.
