Perhaps it is all my watching of the Scottish Open mixed with my recent move into a new apartment that has my decorative juices stewing about golf decor. Every mention of an approach “to the right of the loch” or the faint traditional music played behind each display of the scoreboard has me dreaming of a sophisticated room with cool blues and greens and a slight hint of tartan prints.
It was this daydream that led me to make my first OlioBoard. OlioBoards are inspiration boards for interior decorators, where you basically make a collage of home decor items to help you pull a room together. I decided to make a guest bedroom/home office inspired by the Scottish Open.
(Bear in mind, I’m a total design amateur…)
If it weren’t for the vintage golf print, it would hopefully be hard to tell this is a golf room — I was trying to hint to it without going over the top. But I really liked the back of the chair, which reminded me of argyle socks, and the finishings reminded me of golf balls (I know, I’m a dork!). I really would love an upholstered head board in any of my bedrooms, and the plaid pillow I thought would give a hint of plaid without being too obvious.
Sadly I will probably not make this dream room a reality. At least, not in this apartment. But who knows, maybe it will be fitting of the Scottish castle I will no doubt own some day….
