I have a little pocket sized version of this interior design book “Pure Style”, by Jane Cumberbatch, and it is the only interior design book I decided to ship to the other side of the world, when we moved from Belgium to Australia…

The style is so simple and inexpensive. Just flicking through it makes me feel calmer and relaxed… It oozes cosiness and cocooning. Most interiors are fresh and airy (lots of whites in ton-sur-ton), creating a soothing sense of harmony. Home-y rooms filled with no-fuss furniture and everyday items, combining “gentle on the eyes” colour nuances and natural textures for a sensuous experience… etc.

You’ve guessed it. My current abode is nothing like this sanctuary. ;-)
“Hoop doet leven”, as we say in Flemish (sort of like “hope keeps us alive”, but with a slightly more positive sentiment).

Ah… Someday…

Pure Style by Jane Cumberbatch, a book full of simple and affordable interior design ideas.
