Inspired By: The Great Gatsby

The current movie release of Baz Luhrmann's take on 'The Great Gatsby' is a feast for the eyes with such unbelievable sets and costumes you almost need to see it twice; once to follow the story line and again just to absorb all the visual goodness!

Catherine Martin (wife of Luhrmann) is responsible for the costuming and set design in the film;  her most recent release of interior textiles and wallpapers for Mokum reflects this Art Nouveau, flapper vibe beautifully, as do the range of coordinating rugs that simply exude luxury.

Here are some great finds to help you spice up your home in true Gatsby style, including an amazing room divider screen commissioned by Auckland company Firefly Light & Design, covered in Catherine's 'Antique Lace'.

Think mirrors, metallics, lace and velvet...

A Ballot Box House, Italy

Head over here to read about this fascinating space in Florence, Italy - transformed from an industrial warehouse into a vibrant residential loft, in part using 300 wooden ballet boxes from the 1940's. Up-cycling at it's best! The loft is now the perfect mix of clean white lines and rustic weathered surfaces, serving as a backdrop to the owners eclectic mix of artwork, colourful glass collection and vintage furniture and finds.

We have got our sticky paws on another gorgeous yellow glass lamp base and seeing the good response we had for the previous one, we've made another shade for it out of this gorgeous turquoise moire fabric. It looks so lovely with the afternoon sun shining through it!
