Here we are, halfway through the year!! Where has the time gone? (only 160 days until Christmas – eep!)
This month we are chatting rugs and styling with the fabulous Gabby Rosenfeld. Not only does Gabby own and run Freestyle Interiors, a property styling business on the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula, but she is also the Education Manager for the International School of Colour and Design! A woman of many talents, Gabby’s feed is full of inspiring spaces and snippets of wisdom, along with a few great styling tips and tricks gleaned from her 8 years in the biz. Check her out at @freestyle.interiors for a dose of interior styling inspiration.
Here’s what Gabby had to say:
My style is:
A mix between classic and rustic. I love the formality of symmetry but also love warm earthy tones, timber and texture.
I find inspiration:
Nature inspires me the most. I am surrounded by trees and not far from the beach so I have a lot of natural inspiration around me.
I use colour to:
Make me feel happy. It lifts my mood and makes me feel energised.
Form or Function. Why?:
Function to me is very important. You first need an understanding of the intended purpose of a space and the environment before you can build around it. I would say though that both are interdependent of one another.
Styling advice I live by:
If you don’t love it then don’t use it.
Top home styling tips:
Don’t forget the greenery. A space isn’t complete without it.
Top tips for buying the perfect rug:
When buying the perfect rug look for size, shape, colour, pattern and texture. Quality rugs will always win over anything that has been mass produced. A lot of work goes into the rug making process so do your research first before you make your decision.
What is your go to Six Fourteen Rug?:
I would have to say the Somerset Natural. It ties in really well with our coastal aesthetic and type of furniture we use to style properties.
