We can all get so wrapped up in having the latest nick- nacks and home wares, but sometimes it is more about the perfect placement and grouping of cool things we already own.

I guess you could call it ‘curating’ your own belongings. It leaves more room for art, too!

This little corner screams summer, Pina Coladas and desert road trips. Can’t believe the vibe is created with just a couple of chairs, gorgeous cactus and one bright piece of art! Sleeveless art print by Wild Wagon would also work in this space.

Stylish and contemporary, this room uses browns to soften it and make it easy on the eye. Where black would be too harsh, it creates a more relaxing vibe. Feat. Tangaroa art print by OSLO

Achieve the perfect summer hang out space by stripping back your interior to get the holiday bach feel at home. The limited edition Three Green Bottles screen print by Weston Frizzell throws more kiwi design into the equation.

Love this marriage of vintage and crazy-modern. Let’s look around the rest of this house…

Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination…

Love that red chair and plastic side table. And those giant prints? They’re by Swissted (New York), and we have more of his posters in stock over at endemicworld!

Provided the space gets plenty of light – and you’re not stingy on the bright colour accents – dark walls don’t have to mean a dark room. All images of this awesome home via the NY Times.

You can’t go wrong with a giant number! via

Sorry, the image is a bit small… but we just had to include it – it’s the first floating/dividing gallery wall we’ve seen painted black… looks so good, right?

Hmm… one of the walls in endemicworld HQ might be up for a new colour soon…

Neon sign? Check.
Massive heart made from photos? Check
Copper piping chandelier? Check.
BINGO.

Let’s zoom in on that ceiling, shall we?

Is this wallpaper that you can buy? We need to find it!

So much coolness per-square-metre in this little corner! Via our friends at Homestyle magazine.

We love how those minimal black and white prints stand out in this colourful-yet-classy space. via

The home of NZ interior designer Alex Fulton.You had us at blue pintuck armchair, Alex.

Another bright idea from those clever Swedes.

Lovely and light-filled. (And that massive cork-board makes for an awesome revolving display of prints, photos and other goodies.)

Light grey is the new black…

We reckon living here would be easy breezy. Loving the huge lampshade and eclectic collection of art and prints.

Super cute (and affordable) mood-board idea.

One room – two angles. See how the floorboards are white-washed in one room and natural in the other? Ooh yes, we like that a whole lot.

These pencil sketches and black and white photographs look great together. Add some cool black accessories (including that famous Eames bird!) and you’ve got one rocking little vignette.

When Kate’s not running design agency Studio Alexander or finding awesome new designers and art prints for endemicworld, she loves a bit of reno and interior decorating.

Her colourful and creative family home, a 1950’s bungalow, has just been featured in this month’s issue of Homestyle magazine and on one of our favourite international blogs, Design Sponge!

We thought we’d share a few of the photos here, too! Click each one to enlarge.

Someone hand me a paintbrush, stat – I need to paint some doors bright yellow! via

OK, better make that a couple of paintbrushes and a spray can. Do you have any old furniture favourites that could take a bold colour makeover like this? via

Books look good in yellow. via

Citrus is right at home in the kitchen. via

Need a colour splash that’s more affordable and more versatile than paint or new furniture? Cushions and prints win every time. PS: Love chevrons! via
