Ok, I admit it…I have been taking some design inspiration from The Block NZ.
Graphic designers can get their design inspiration and creativity from all kinds of sources, not just other graphic design work. This photo is of the new David Trubridge light in our living room. Trubridge is an iconic New Zealand furniture and lighting designer davidtrubridge.com. Although this shade wasn’t on The Block, I have wanted one for a long time and the show inspired me to change my lighting. It’s like having an artwork on the ceiling now which I love! If you can get past all the repetition and the inbuilt advertising there are some cool ideas to help make a room more beautiful and stylish.
My favourite team is Alex and Corban followed closely by Jo and Damo. Alex and Corban have great design style which I would gladly emulate in my own home. A lot of their artwork is from Collected by LeeAnn Yare which is one of my favourite design stores in Auckland. The geometric tiger print in one of James and Marees’ rooms was from there. I think this has been my favourite artwork so far.
What has been your favourite room or feature so far?
