INSIDE debates: Flowers – fake or real?

INSIDE debates: Flowers – fake or real?

We don’t sell flowers at INSIDE, but we use them in our photo shoots or for in-store display.   Mary used to be a strict fresh-flowers-only person, but this got a big thumbs down from the sales staff.  Apparently, real flowers bring insects into the shops.  She had to give in, and to everyone’s surprise, she’s become a convert.  Read on to understand why and for some tips on using artificial flowers.

Tiger Hunting in Vietnam

Tiger Hunting in Vietnam

INSIDE tries to have something for everyone interested in interior style and design - even for those of more minimalist taste - but we have to admit that we lean towards the maximalist look and we love a tiger, particularly a Tibetan-inspired tiger.  Gorgeous to look at, these ancient symbols of power and protection are surprisingly modern, too.
