Eileen Boyd

I loved the new issue of Lonny.
It was packed full of fabulous colour and inspiration.

My absolute favourite feature was the home of designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd.

According the article, Boyd wanted each room to be like an art installation.

She used a plate of magenta, cerulean blue, and spring green.

Boyd says she achieved her look by using unexpected colours, furnishings, and artwork.

I simply adore the look of the home she has created.

{and PS, The Manuel Canovas wallpaper in the kitchen makes me crazy}

Here’s the spread.



After seeing her Boyd’s home in Lonny, I wanted to have a look at her portfolio.

I think her home definitely works to highlight her design sensibilities.

One can see the same use of bold colour and unexpected elements in her professional work.

I love Boyd’s use of fabulous pattern (hello La Fiorentina and Asuka wallpaper) and those blue velvet curtain panels are incredible- I’ve never seen anything like them.

I also adore her propensity towards saturated colour.

If you look at Pantone’s entire colour story for 2011, she is certainly right on trend.

A definite talent, Boyd is a designer with an approach I find very exciting.

Her spaces don’t seem overly styled but are dynamic and approachable.

Effortlessly stylish.
