About

 
Arren Williams is the name, and I'm a stylist, editor and trend reporter. You'll catch my work regularly popping up in print in the likes of the National Post, House & Home and elsewhere. I'm also a guest expert on Citytv's CityLine, and you can occasionally find me on HGTV as well as on ABC 7 News in Chicago.

To keep things fun I've tapped a couple of friends - Julia Black and Jenn Hannotte - to contribute their views on design too. Enjoy!

Big and squooshy

It's grey and rainy in my neck of the woods. Good for the garden (the heirloom tomatoes are growing gangbusters), but it really makes me want to curl up on the sofa with Spot and take a snooze. From a design perspective I'm in Cloud Cuckoo Land today, dreaming about spectacular houses that I'll never own, filled with furniture that's way beyond my snack bracket. So, Roche Bobois' inspirational interior shots are just the ticket - Up top you have the big and super squooshy new Voyage Immobile sectional designed by Cedric Ragot. Love all the kooky stripes on the sofa, let alone that art installation/giant pickup-sticks game, though the floor lamps are a wee bit alien-ish for my liking. Then there's the stripe-tastic Rythme modular sofa designed by Studio Missoni Home (the rug and tables are by the SMH too), but, what I really want to know is, where the heck did they find that insanely huge hi-gloss orange and khaki spinning top?

I love the first picture. It is a dream space!

Colorful, graphic upholstery is a trend that becomes more and more popular.

I love the Alice in Wonderland touches in both shots.
