The Loom and Last are based in London’s Chelsea Wharf, a small complex facing the Thames that consists of tall buildings on two sides, which creates a strong wind tunnel between the buildings.<\/p>\n

The recent sunshine has been deceptive, as I wander downstairs for a spot of sun and step outside to realise I look like a Borrower that\u2019s got stuck in a (cold) hair-dryer.<\/p>\n

However, for everyone else who doesn\u2019t work in my tiny section of Chelsea, summer is here! To me, nothing shouts summer more than blue and white, so this post is dedicated to the colour combo that always makes me feel a little happy inside\u2026<\/p>\n

This carpet is probably the nicest carpet I have ever seen. The geometrics are bang on trend and the blue and white pattern brightens up the entire room. This puts the \u2018mm\u2019 in summer. Am I right?<\/p>\n

Check out Bright Bazaar<\/a> blog for more colour inspiration. It\u2019s my all-time favourite blog and inspires\/upsets me every day.<\/p>\n

\"Dip<\/p>\n

Maybe one day I\u2019ll get over my dip-dye obsession, but for the time being I have fallen in love with these tab top curtains. This\u00a0is the ideal heading for these curtains, as it gives a relaxed look. The fabric is so light it gives the impression of a makeshift pair of curtains. I could see these in a loft in Brooklyn!<\/p>\n

You can re-create this look by purchasing some of our\u00a0ready made curtains<\/a>\u00a0in Chalk, adding some\u00a0Dylon Bahama Blue<\/a>\u00a0dye and dying them in your bath. Cheap, easy and so summery.<\/p>\n

NB:<\/b> I recently had a dip-dye day with my boyfriend, who got over-excited and plunged his hands straight in the dye. They\u2019re still stained Burlesque Red, so make sure you wear gloves.<\/p>\n

\"Lime<\/a><\/p>\n

This interior is more green and white than blue and white, but I couldn\u2019t resist. This would be the ideal seaside guest bedroom, and the painted white floors with the lime green stripes make it look bright, fresh and clean.<\/p>\n

This may seem unrelated, but there is a quote in\u00a0The Great Gatsby\u00a0<\/i>that this image makes me think of: \u201cIt amazed him–he had never been in such a beautiful house before [\u2026] There was a ripe mystery about it, a hint of bedrooms up-stairs more beautiful and cool than other\u00a0<\/b>bedrooms\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to point out that I haven\u2019t yet seen Baz Luhrmann\u2019s version of\u00a0The Great Gatsby<\/i>\u00a0and I seriously doubt the Buchanans\u2019 bedroom look anything like this.\u00a0Source<\/a>.<\/p>\n
