Malachite is a very special stone with a very special pattern and effect. I love the emerald green hues of it and find it really helps to create a glamorous and ecclectic look when used appropriately.

I also love when it is used in abundance (as some might say ‘inappropriately’) as with a lot of Tony Ducette’s designs because I am a big believer in his philosophy of More is More, within reason!

We’re looking to add some malachite in a study we are at at the early stages of designing. Whether it be in an accessory or a fabric, what are your thoughts?

I love the Hollywood Regency feel of Tony Ducette’s Belvedere chair

I am absolutely in love with ceiling effects because they really do add a hint of the unexpected- and nothing is as unexpected as a malachite ceiling!

Dear all friends and family,

Just a little introduction to tell you a bit about Domicilium Designs and our blog. We are a London based interior design firm working on projects all over the world and this means that we are constantly looking for new inspiration while trying to create beautiful, bespoke and unique schemes.

The journey is a fun one- from travelling near and far and sourcing furniture, fabrics, lighting and decorative ideas in all kinds of obscure places. We wanted to share this journey with you and thought the best way to do it is through a blog- that way we can also see what inspires you and create dialogue which is imperative in the creative process.

Here we will share our musings with you on interior design, architecture, travel, fashion, lifestyle and anything that tickles our fancy. We hope that our posts will add a smile to your face…..

I dont know what it is about blue, but it looks like its the new black! From world famous and iconic designers like David Collins, to the simple blue trademark rooftops of Greece, blue seems to be the coolest colour around. We are working on several projects at the moment and taking inspiration from the brilliant and bright, to the more subtle shades…

It is amazing how this simple royal blue runner of prayer carpets completely transforms an otherwise bare and minimal mosque into a vibrant place of spirituality

Looks like a China plate!

Look at what an amazing spectrum there is to work with!! Makes me want to be on holiday again!

The lighter tints give a more airy feel…

Whilst the bolder hues give off a more edgy and moody vibe

Its official… I’ve got the hots for blue!
