This weekend’s Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the London home of Margarita Lorenzo, the designer behind Chocolate Creative. The many beautiful handmade touches featured within each room stand out against the natural simplicity of her home's interior. Marga enjoys decorating her home with renovated flea market furniture and describes her style as a simple mix of periods and styles. "I like eclectic spaces that are filled with very personal touches, like traveling finds, antiques, old loved things and of course some new pieces as well."
Working in graphic design, Marga's passion for textiles led her to discover ways to apply her graphic knowledge to textiles through printmaking. She fell in love with screenprinting and began producing a collection of bags, tea towels and pillows, which are available in her Etsy shop, chocolatecreative. Marga also runs the Chocolate Creative blog with friend, Kate Read, where they share their passion for handmade, craft, textiles, vintage and interiors.
Visit Marga on Flickr to view more photos of her sweet and simple home, and be sure to check out the Etsy Finds below for creative decorating ideas that will add a touch of natural simplicity to the place you call home.
