Romantic style by Selina Lake

Romantic Style by Stylist Selina Lake and writer Sara Norrman is a book that I have had my eye on ever since it was released earlier on in the year, I even entered a competition to win a signed copy! (which I didn't) so it was  rather nice to receive the book in the post at the weekend courtesy of Ryland Peters and Small, and I have been making the most of the time spent indoors while the temperature drops outside and losing myself between the covers of  Romantic Style.  Packed full of beautifully styled rooms and photographed by Debi Treloar,  from modern romantic to chic and glamorous with majestic chandeliers this book is sure to press all the right buttons if you love all things romantic.

Flicking through the pages I can't help but feel all floaty and feminine, the Romantic style is all about creating a comfortable and warm home, its a look that evolves over time adding to with items collected from flea markets and car boots which I love, lovingly restored or reused in the home.

But if like me you don't want to adopt this style full on throughout the home, then you can take inspiration from the book and just create corners  with a splash of feminine flounce, adorn a book shelf or set of draws with candles and flowers, add a bowl and pour into it  pretty jewellery, take a coat hanger and fill it with floaty scarfs and necklaces, I tried this one, and it really does put you in a romantic frame of mind, i wrapped some beads and a floaty scarf with a few pretty rose hair clips on a coat hanger and hung it on my wardrobe door, and it was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes in the morning, I couldn't help but smile, and I'm not a morning person at all!

That's what I love about it, you can take as much or as little as you want and add this style to your home, go full on frills and flowers, keep it chic and glamorous, or use it to add softness to a modern home, its up to you, but I think every home has room for some  Romantic Style style in it...
