Yamini's Summer '07

Frenzied faxes, con calls, mindless meetings, deadlines, bottomlines, boss brawl, hanging comps, missed lunch, power brunch, client cocktail. Phew. Your day is packed as ever, girl. And that’s why you sigh and go ommmm when you finally go back to that lush, soul space you call the cat pad.

To preen it up further, check out Yamini’s new Summer Collection. In keeping with the style of the mo, the all-flair-no-flash brand has gone retro with their sofa fillers in metallic browns with stripes and moss greens with shiny polkas.

Hues this season sail towards bright seas, sparkly suns and sprinkled sequins. In thick linens, wispy cottons, rustling silks and to-die-for weaves. These sit pretty with beaded curtains in similar colours. The must-haves are the napkin holders, ethereal beads and wires twisted like a fairy princess’ crown.

Other home-bling include dreams and reams of curtain material, table linen, runners and napkins in new colour palettes.

For walls and accessories OD’d on brights, break the kaleidoscope with the stark black and white range.

Stop by one summer’s evening. And live cool till the end of the season.
