Interiors and Proportion

I love interiors. I spent many hours reading the Ikea catalogue when I was younger and I still use it as a source of inspiration. 

I'm by no means a minimalist, although I do enjoy organisation. I always wonder where the stuff is in people's houses in those magazine spreads where the only thing they have in their concrete open plan condo is a vase with some twigs in.
This is my idea of minimalism:

I think your decor should reflect your personality and shouldn't take itself too seriously. A good way to inject fun into interiors is to add something oversized. How cool would this be propped up against the wall in a home office for instance?

 On the same office theme, the oversized scissors really add to the vitality of the room.

 The following are items that will be mine. Oh yes. They will be mine. They have long been lusted after, and I need them in my life to be fulfilled. I have love, I have health, now I need a giant teacup.

 I just like the pure fun of a giant object, something familiar like the knife and fork or lightbulb in huge proportion. Plus the teacups add just enough Alice in Wonderland to a plain bathroom or kitchen. Coming soon to Emma's abode ...well, soonish!
