As the weather warms up for most of you it’s time to take another look at using outdoor spaces. Where I live in sunny subtropical Queensland we use our outdoor rooms all year round. Even in the southern parts of Australia there is only a brief period of the year where we don’t live outside. The fresh air beckons. And if you don’t have a permanent space to dine, laze and while away the day then a rug some pillows a garden set or hammock can extend your living space.

Love it, love it. An eclectic boho mix of traditional, tattered, mid century and modern. Just enough quirkiness and a touch of the artist’s eye. This is just one of the properties offered for location shoots by the Beach Studios. Can’t fault it….maybe just a little bit more mid century modern.

Set up 6 years ago the Beach Studios is a small but fast growing British locations agency dedicated to providing a wide range locations for the film and photography industry. Owned by stylist, Atlanta Bartlett and designer, David Coote the Beach Studios website is full of eyecandy.

The team behind re:place believe their clients are more creative than they believe and the design team help bring those ideas out. They create their client’s style not their own. A holistic approach is important and the Eastern design principles of Vastu and Feng Shui are integral to each design. They also use recycled, found,natural and environmentally friendly materials in their projects. Beautiful and aware, great combination.
