In Living Color - Designer Anna Spiro

Brisbane based Anna Spiro of Black and Spiro is no stranger to color or pattern.  She is not afraid to layer multiple colors and patterns with antiques and modern art. Her attention to detail and love of the unique and unusual combine for a look that appears haphazard; but is actually carefully curated. Doesn't she look as chic as her interiors?

Here is a peek at some of her wonderful designs.






















Anna has recently written her first book Absolutely Beautiful Things which you can buy here.

In Absolutely Beautiful Things,  Anna shows you how to “create an interior that's just right for you”. “To her, it's all about the mix, not the match.”She'll give you the confidence to put together a layered and very individual home using elements you love, and make you see your old belongings in a new light”.



In addition to her book, Anna pens the much-loved blog Absolutely Beautiful Things.  She has just come out with a new textile line to add to her already popular wallpaper designs.

I really admire Anna’s gutsiness with color and pattern.  How do you feel about it?  Are you a bold color and pattern person or do you prefer a more neutral pallet with pops of color?


Next Thursday we will be having another edition of our Ageless Style series.  Elizabeth from the Vintage Contessa will interview someone on her blog.  I will be interviewing my new friend, image consultant Brenda Kinsel, whose sense of style I adore.
