Using plants as a decorating accent has fast become one of the hottest trends of 2015. Plants are popping up everywhere and if you don't like the bohemian approach seen too often, we have pulled together some items that we think work well with your minimal decoration at home.
Think cool pegboards to hang greenery from, or super cool plastic wall pockets that make great indoor planters. There are many different approaches to getting a more naturalistic feel into your home style.

"Les Dessins" by Pierre Frey

We are currently working on our last design for our very first KUTE collection, and are inspired by these beautiful painterly marks that we found. We want the last design to be an immersive experience and to be very textural and colourful.

The website is currently being finished, and our home decor range will be launching in November. We will be posting more about that soon and offering a discount code for early customers, so keep checking back.

KUTE visited the last Sunday the King of the Style Pop Art, Mr Andy Warhol at the Museum of Modern Arts in Paris !

This exposition present for the first time in Europe " Shadows ". A collection of 102 paintings silkscreened 17 different colors that extend over 130 meters !!! That's stunning

This exposition is open until the 7 February 2016. Don't wait !!!

We recently discovered the work of famous Italian photographer, Franco Fontana.
These pictures show abstract visions of brutalist architecture, made 2-Dimensional with large blocks of shape and colour. They are perfect examples of of colour and composition and we are so inspired.

Here are some of our favourite photographs of his work.

Our collection is slowly coming together with manufacturers for most times decided upon and samples being ordered.

Having a mood board has helped to focus and inspire us on our journey so we wanted to share ours with you as well as some fantastic mood boards by others.

So why should you be using a mood board?

- They collect your thoughts and ideas
- You can separate by colours or themes to focus
- You can keep them close by as you design for reference
- If you blog, they can help curate your ideas in a magazine style way
- They are just good fun to do!

How do you make a mood board?

- Use a good old fashioned cork board to cut and pin your images
- Go through magazines to find colours or pictures
- Use Pinterest to make digital mood boards
- Take snaps on your camera phone and use collage apps like Moldiv
- Collage your images
- Use your computer to put images together in a fun and inspiring way
- Let your imagination run wild!
