Dare to be Bold
“No one does colour quite like Caroline Stanbury,” shares Kate Instone, Founder and Creative Director of Blush International
“No one does colour quite like Caroline Stanbury,” shares Kate Instone, Founder and Creative Director of Blush International. “A tastemaker with an eye for the daring, she moves through the colour wheel with ease and confidence.”
Stanbury’s home study is both colourful and fun. Despite being located in a relatively small space, the black-and-white monochrome flooring in high gloss gives the room an instant graphic punch. “But it’s the walls that really sing,” shares Instone. The walls are drenched in magenta pink and animated by a sweeping, painterly orange brushstroke wallpaper from drop it MODERN. “The custom baby pink desk from The Invisible Collection is sculptural, fun and unapologetically playful,” shares Instone. Paired with soft boucle chairs, the space becomes a blend of serious style and pure joy. The space is proof that brave choices in confined spaces can yield the most exciting results.
