Designer Tara Bernard's Posh London Home

Tara Bernard of Target Living London is fast becoming one

of my favorite designers. Her bold use of color and British

icons has totally captured me.

Above is Tara's bedroom and this post is about her totally posh

dig. Her and her husband bought a red brick mansion in West

London 5 years ago that used to be a Bank. The bank is 4 stories

tall and it's not a surprise that space is what attracted her with

2,000 sq. feet on the ground floor alone.

More of her fabulous bedroom.



I apologize I couldn't find larger photos but I still

wanted to share what her home looks like.

I totally love her blatant use of British icons like

the Union Jack, the Queen and other members

of the British royalty. Mixing it up with bold reds

and other colours make her home so interesting.

Here's a closer look at their ground floor where their

entertaining space is.

Can you believe the Red bull in the kitchen?

The juxtaposition of modern acrylic coloured chairs next

to very antique pieces is a lot of fun. She pairs them with

the perfect touch of sophistication.

Her wonderfully lacquered bathroom.

And here is Tara Bernard herself. She works with

Thomas Griem at Target Living which she is a

cofounder of.

I hope you've enjoyed her style as much as I have.

I'll definitely be posting a lot more of her work

down the road.

Naked Decor ~ Supon's Wonderful Pop art Home

I'm sure you've seen his pillows before. I'm talking about

the pillows of the Union Jack and the Queen's silhouette

in the photo above. The designer behind the store and brand

Naked Decor is Thai born US based Supon Phornirunlit.

We'll just call him Supon to make things easier before I

completely slaughter his last name. His home really caught

my eye and so I thought to share a short tour of his home

with his cute dogs.

Isn't this bedroom just wonderfully colorful? The dark

walls tone it down a bit and give it just the right amount

of drama.

A closer look at his living room with the lovely

midcentury styled sofa and arm chairs.

French doors open from the living room into his office.

I love the oval white lacquered table. It's an unusual

shape for a table but I quite like it.

A view from the front.

A guest bedroom in black and white.

I adore glass tile and he chose a really gorgeous

irridescent pearl color for the bathroom.

His dining room with his own Chairman Mao

wall hangings - available from Naked Decor.

In true Thai style with a modern twist,

his outdoor living space is sensational.

And here are those famous Queen and Union Jack pillows.

I must say that it's an absolutely brilliant design.

The Union Jack pillows come in different colors. He also

offers the Tower Bridge as a very classic design.

More Chairman Mao pillows.

Isn't this pillow cute?

His wall hangings are available for $150 USD per set of 2.

And his pillows average from $49 - $75 which I

think is a reasnable price for his ultra fun designs.

I leave you with a quote from Supon about design.

Good design is like a good outfit: It has to fit you well.

The Union Jack ~ A British Classic

I am totally in love with the Union Jack.
This fabulous rocker chair above was

used by the Spice Girls. Yellow against

black lacquer with nailheads on a traditional

chair...Simply Brilliant! The chair was designed

by the company Halo from Altrincham in the UK.

without a SMEG refrigerator.

Isn't that cutest dog bed?

The Natural Store of the UK offers organic fabrics

and clothing. They offer this beautiful pillow in

all organic cotton.

The Queen is every bit as synonymous

with the UK as is the Union Jack. The items

above are available from Naked Decor.

I especially like her black and

white rendition of the pillow.
