NOW WE ARE FOUR

NOW WE ARE FOUR

Long days. Many sleepless nights. A ton of coffee.  Whatsapp conversations around the clock.  Teething problems and tears. And a constant state of learning and adapting, growing and marvelling. What a whirlwind it’s been!

Say Hello to Japandi Style

Say Hello to Japandi Style

When Japanese-style functionality meets light and cosy Scandi style, we see a beautiful blend of aesthetics take shape in the home. Japandi interior design takes inspiration from the traditional Eastern ‘wabi-sabi’ philosophy that celebrates all things naturally imperfect. Yay!

If you’re a little bit interiors-obsessed like us, it’ll come as no surprise to hear that Scandi-style minimalism is officially OUT, and it’s all about ‘curated clutter’. Yippee!

Sustainable, Chic & Responsible - Because Fashion Can

To embrace the modern, cool and new wave of eco-chic we've teamed up with a few of our friends, who like us are doing things a bit differently. 

 

At Home With... Cara Sutherland

At Home With... Cara Sutherland

For our first At Home With feature we were delighted to chat with the very lovely Cara Sutherland, whose Instagram account @CaraSuthers and blog Within These Walls we have swooned and cackled over for several years now. She's got a dreamy Cotswold home, killer dress sense and seriously great hair, but it's her hilarious captions, honest portrayals of life's ups and downs, and abject refusal to take herself too seriously that captured our hearts and our minds.

¡VIVA MEXICANA!

¡VIVA MEXICANA!

We’re no strangers to South American-inspired pom pom fringes and cacti prints in the world of Instagram and interiors. In fact, our love affair with Mexico has never been stronger than right now.. This is a jolly, upbeat trend and it is RIGHT up our street.

New Baskets Bringing JOY To Laundry Day

New Baskets Bringing JOY To Laundry Day

Sometimes when we’re doing the laundry at home we have to stop and wonder whether there are actually secret people living in our house that we don’t know about. Sometimes life just feels like ONE ENDLESS ROUND OF LAUNDRY

#WeMadeYourBaskets: Fashion Revolution Week 2018

Spoiled for choice as we were for whom to feature in this blog post for Fashion Revolution Week (so many interesting and inspiring people to talk about), we have decided to tell you a little more about a weaver named Ntomulan Lesania, who makes some of our Nomadic Beaded Baskets from her home in rural Ngurunit, Northern Kenya.

Trend Alert: Velvet Crush

Trend Alert: Velvet Crush

We are crushing on velvet here at The Basket Room. Big time. In fact, Holly speaks dreamily of her lust for a green velvet sofa, a hot cup of tea and a stack of style magazines to work her way through. We’ve been eyeing up plush armchairs and button-backed chesterfields, and daydreaming about peachy pink ottomans.
