Inspiration

Why do you keep an inspiration folder/style file/dossier of photos of your favourite interiors?

I keep mine for colour inspiration, for great floral inspiration, for chair porn... but when I look at a photo of a great interior, I find myself looking at details:

1. style of lounge armrests
2. sidetables choices for different chairs/sofa
3. bedside table choices
4. bedheads
5. wall art
6. vases
7. lighting
8. storage choices

Sometimes I wish we could find photos of great interiors NOT photo-shoot-prepared with children, pets... and feel reassured that you're not losing in the style battle if you have an active toddler with an obsession with shoes and books and spoons.
