I was knocked out by this gorgous photoshoot and fabulous pastel colour scheme in this month’s UK Elle Deco.
Stylist Frank Vissers is currently spending a few months working for Chinese Elle Deco, and this is how he has prettied up his temporary apartment in Shanghai’s old French colonial quarter.
Apparently the rented furniture is a bit hit and miss so he’s covered it up with fabrics, put some in storage, and then picked up a few pieces in Ikea. And then he smothered everything with bits and bobs he’s found on various photoshoots.
Though the shoot is styled to within an inch of its life – like we all live with a billard table cum work table which is positively dripping with blousy roses – I adore this colour scheme and the soft take on chinoiserie.
This simple cup filled with paint sample cards is my favourite photo of the lot.
Somehow I suspect he doesn’t have a toddler at home though.
