In the mood

I don't want to exaggerate but this is beginning to feel like the Great Interior Design Challenge. 

Bearing in mind the caravan measures a paltry 170cm wide by 370cm length (including the front hitch) and nothing is being changed to interior layout, you would think that the task of choosing fabric and colour would be easy.  By the way, I do not know what a 'front hitch' is.

I started a mood board which is a little 'Orla Kiela meets Scandi however, unsure if this is now the


'look' I want.

I have received upholstery fabric samples from Modelli fabrics which I love especially Nappa 2258 (Indigo Grey) and Nappa 2257 (Royal Blue) and I am definitely going to use blue and yellow in the colour scheme. 

I need to decide on my 'look' 



I really do not want 'twee' and although I want to respect the age of caravan, I am not into a psychedelic 60's look.  I did some research into bohemian interior design and found the article '20 amazing Bohemian Chic Interiors' at www.architectureartdesigns.com great for ideas.  The description of bohemian as a word used to describe wanderers and vagabonds is very apt but I think what is appealing to me is the strong different colours used.


I would love to go to a colour workshop but worried it is all people who know what they are doing e.g. design students, artists and professionals. 


The winner of the Great Interior Design Challenge (Sarah Mitchenall) has nothing to fear and the Black Parrot Studio Pinterest and Intstagram posts are great for inspiration.
