According to Ash

October 28, 2016


Welcome to the 4th instalment of our new Design 101 Feature!

Last week we promised you a look at the new Sydney Collection that Ashlee-Ann, our showroom designer, styled in a completely different way at our CrossIron Mills Store. Together with another of our fabulous designers, Dewald Dippenaar, she displayed the Sydney with a Modern Masculine feel. The result was this sleek and mod bachelor pad with a cool and comfy vibe. Here's how she did it:

#1 She chose to play up the matte black of the Sydney with black leather, charcoal fabrics, and chrome.

#2 She kept accessories minimal with a mix of shine and matte, adding more greenery than colour.

#3 She also kept pattern to minimum relying on graphic, geometric themes. And dogs. Boys like dogs.

Just in case you missed last week's Sydney in Rustic Modern you can check it out and the rest of our posts on our revolve blog page.
