When we think about decorating our homes and entertaining, everything starts with finding inspiration. Today I have some pretty things to inspire you to decorate your home beautiful.

Decor

Create an elegant and sophisticated room using accents of soft pink florals, stripes, and checks.

Beautiful Blooms

Begin with planting beautiful flowers and bulbs in your garden for filling vases. Some of the flowers I have planted in my garden are:

• Mixed pink Dahlias, including my favourite Cafe Au Lait Dahlia.
• Hydrangeas, in white, pink, and blue.
• Iceberg roses.
• A mix of David Austin roses in pink, yellow, and peach.

Table Setting & Entertaining

Setting and decorating the table for entertaining guests is the fun part, now I try and set my table well ahead of when my guests will arrive.

I love to include vintage pieces and add the finishing touches with a pretty napkin and a beautiful bunch of flowers from the garden.

I have selected some of the prettiest fabrics from the F. Schumacher collection above. Choose a beautiful fabric to add pattern and texture with some soft furnishings for your home.

Books

Decorating your home with beautiful books will always ensure you are surrounded by ideas and inspiration for your home.

I love adding them in groups of two or three to my console tables and coffee table. You can never have too many beautiful books.
