i keep being drawn to the work of interior stylists…like i’ve said before, to me, it seems like such a dream job. it’s one of those jobs that i wish i would have known about when i was little - who knew you could actually style things for a living!
which leads me to stylist finola inger…sigh…can i be her when i grow up?? the rooms and images she creates are so gorgeous, vibrant and modern yet completely soothing.
check out her portfolio for more of her stunning images.

*gasp* I love the yellow and green together.
I understand exactly what you mean about not knowing about jobs when we were little. I always thought that it would be fun to design furniture but my innocent 10 year old self didn’t realise that it’s a whole field of design… I was at a loss after I finished my linguistics degree and couldn’t find anything that I wanted to do. Then, luckily, I found a one year conversion course to get into interior and spatial design. I’m still at uni, and I have no idea if I’ll get a job at the end of it. I just wish I’d known about all the cool things out there in the world when I was younger! But it’s never too late to do something that you enjoy. There’s always a way into it – there are so many courses out there, or even opportunities for work experience
(Sorry for the extra long comment!!)
What beautiful styling! I’m seeing lots of gorgeous yellow in your finds …
That’s so funny you mentioned the yellow…I noticed that I kept being drawn to anything yellow lately. So I finally went out and bought myself a great West Elm pillow in yellow! I think I’m missing the sun
Rebecca – I love that sentiment. That’s my motto right now…it’s never too late. That’s so cool you figured things out and are pursuing something you love. How exciting
!
Love these images. Going right over to see Finola’s site!
Love these images! I also wish I had known about certain jobs when I a younger. I can only imagine which direction I would have taken with my life!
Agreed great styling!! I would love to get into interior styling…do you think its best to go straight out and do work experience or would a course in styling be advisable?? Ive got a degree in textiles design and love interiors…please help!!
Hi Katherine! I would say if you could do both that would be best – maybe intern for a stylist while taking a course? You’re textile design degree adds to the mix perfectly!
