BIRTHDAY DINNER & ART AT FOUR POINTS

Good evening guys. I hope you've all had a great start to your week. Last week Sunday, I was at a private dinner celebrating my friend's younger sister's 21st Birthday and It was such a lovely and intimate celebration.

 She hosted her dinner party at Four Points Hotel in Victoria Island Lagos. The hotel is a part of the Sheraton hotels chain and like any respectable luxury hotel, it boasts some fairly tasteful and impressive art work and of course a decent menu, which is kind what we were there for.

While the food was alright, I was mostly taken by the art pieces hanging on the wall, the carvings and all the other little decor pieces that pulled the whole room together and enhanced the ambiance. I'm starting to notice a trend in luxury hotels in Nigeria of using art work as the primary focus of interior design concepts and I absolutely love it.

THE WARMTH OF COLOUR

Happy new month guys. Colour is one of the most poignant elements in interior decoration and while I love the clean all white with hints of gold or metallics interior design approach, there's something terribly personal about a colourful home or space.

Bright colours in particular tend to bring a warmth, calm and sometimes playfulness to interior decor, that allows you sit a little less like you are in a museum and a little more like you are in a more intimate space.

One of my biggest struggles with interior decor, is reconciling my love for White, somewhat ostentatious yet minimalist interiors (stay with me) with the allure of bright, warm, colourful interiors.

It's particularly interesting for me because it mirrors my approach towards style; constantly straddling the world of completely dark/white look and very colourful and print heavy ensembles, with both worlds rarely colliding. 

So as you can imagine, this post was a very interesting one for me to work on, as I saw a little bit of a blend between white bases and an infusion of that homey warmth that bright colours bring.
