24 hours in Palma de Mallorca

Our Palma Instatour will show you some of the most photogenic spots in the Mallorcan capital city.

  • A rare glimpse into the gold dust bedroom⁠, to show you another recent find. These wall lights are from @houseofdotcom⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I like the concept at HouseOf - you pick the base colour, shade ⁠style and colour separately, so you finish up with a light that totally suits your style. Thought these ribbed glass ones were a bit Soho House. Quality is good, fast delivery, reasonably priced - what's not to like? And plug in wall lights are much easier to fit right now, unless you've got an electrician at home.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Oh and I ended up googling the best height to hang a bedside wall light. My internet history is so exciting 😉In case it's useful for you, the best advice was to find somewhere between eye and shoulder level when you're reading. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Like the idea of creating a bespoke light? Decisions, decisions ... 💡⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #irishhomes⁠ ⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ #elledecor #marieclairemaison #rockininteriors #dailydecordetail #livingetcuk #atmine #interiorstyled #howyouhome #interiorismo #instahome #interiorgoals #interiormilk #interiorstyle #mycreativeinterior #myinteriorsquares #greathomestaketime⁠ #interiorinspo #interiorphotographer #houseenvy #interiorstylist #interiorsphotography #interiorboom #interiorstylists #interiormixtape⁠ #mysenseofhome ⁠#colourstylehome #faffthegaff #ihavethisthingwithhome #houseofdotcom

  • Heart-shaped shout out to an amazing local business.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ These grazing boxes came from @raregrazingni (swipe for the main course) for a garden party for friends' birthdays. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It rained (of course it did) but there were plenty of bubbles and blankets. We burned an old Christmas tree in the fire pit and it all felt very festive.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Happy birthday, you lovely ladies! 😘 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For food styling (and taste) purposes, strawberries should be dipped in chocolate more, agreed?⁠ 🍓⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #forkyeah ⁠⠀ #makeyourownlight⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #visualmarketing #artofvisuals ⁠#smallbusinessmarketing #womentalkingbusiness #creativebusiness #createlounge #brandstorytelling #creativeentrepreneur #thatauthenticfeeling #seeingthepretty #daysofsmallthings #myhappyviews #aquietstyle #stillswithstories #bloomandgrowtogether #indiebiz #gloomandglow #thatvelvetfeeling #slowdownwithstills #thatsdarling #foodphotographyandstyling #styleonmytable #onmytabletoday #firstweeat #thebiteshot #mytablesituation ⁠#moodcollectors ⁠#foodstyling⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
  • Talking doors today and how you can photograph them to build stronger connections with your viewers.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This photo shows the exact opposite of how to do that. Swipe for a better option. ⠀ ⁠⠀ Doors are so symbolic in our minds.⁠ They talk to our brains about new beginnings. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ To our primitive brains, open doors are less of a threat, because we can see a way out.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Open doors are so much more welcoming and inviting. They're also a bit tantalising if you photograph homes and interiors, because they lead the eye into the next space.⁠ In photos, open doors provide an easy way to direct our gaze. If it works, keep the door to the next room open, so you can see through.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠High-end property sellers often do this well. Take a look @themodernhouse and compare photos to the average estate agent pics. They're worlds apart and you can spot lots of open doors.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Top takeaways -⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠★ Use doors to
  • The one with the pink sofa. Not sure how I got this one past the all-male committee at home. Well, I do. I just ordered it without consulting anyone. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Chalking it up as a success. This came from a new-to-me online retailer @sklum.welovedesign_uk⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Been looking for a small, curvy sofa for a while. Swipe for a side view of those contours. It's clay pink, so not too sugary. No arms makes it perfect for a tight space too. I'm really impressed with the quality. It's solid rather than loungy, which means it works well as a work-from-home seat. Would happily seat two for cocktail hour as well 🍸⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The sofa was part of a run of online shopping success, until I crashed and burned last week with three (count them!) disasters. At least they all happened at once, so I only needed one trip to the post office to return them.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Anyone else discovered new things they like online lately?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Pink cushion previously gifted @kittyholmeslondon - what do you think Kate - perfect match for the sofa? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #irishhomes⁠ ⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ #elledecor #marieclairemaison #rockininteriors #dailydecordetail #livingetcuk #walltowallstyle #atmine #interiorstyled #howyouhome #interiorismo #instahome #interiorgoals #interiormilk #interiorstyle #mycreativeinterior #myinteriorsquares #greathomestaketime⁠ #interiorinspo #interiorphotographer #houseenvy #interiorstylist #interiorsphotography #interiorboom #interiorstylists #interiormixtape⁠ #mysenseofhome ⁠#colourstylehome #faffthegaff #ihavethisthingwithhome⁠⠀
  • Do you like being outdoors in the rain? This was almost a dining in the deluge situation yesterday. ⁠I felt like swiping away the tablecloth like a magician.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The most memorable deluge I've been caught in was on holiday in France. It seemed to spark every frog in the nation into action (actual frogs, I'm not disrespecting the French). Hundreds, maybe even thousands, leapt around as we walked* across the garden of the cottage. ⁠⠀ *I may have had to be carried 🐸⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Anyway, there's a seat with your name on it right here this week if you'd like to hear more about -⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ★ how opening doors can improve your photo styling⁠⠀ ★ a new source of reasonably-priced, design-led furniture (swipe for sofa)⁠⠀ ★ wildflower meadows - does flinging a £3 bargain box of seeds around the garden make any flower magic? 🌸⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ #irishhomes⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ #livingetcuk #atmine #howyouhome #indooroutdoor #greathomestaketime⁠ #excessivelydivertedbyflowers #petalsandprops #moodcollectors⁠ #prettyperfectpetals #floralguff #mybloominglens #petalpower #flowerseveryday #gloomandglow #floralstories #wildforflowers #alltheprettyflorals #moodforfloral #underthefloralspell #flowermagic #inspiredbypetals⁠ #myfloraldays #bloomandgrow #slowdowncollective #daysofsimpleandslow #myslowandsimple #gowildlyandslow #howihaven #makehomematter⁠⠀
  • When it comes to flowers, do you like rambling and tall, or compact and elegant? I mean obviously the answer is both, but I love wandering along this verbena path @hillsboroughcastle Later in the season, it towers way over my head. Definitely one of the best ways to be overlooked. Please don't overlook your chance to learn how to style interior vignettes without shopping for props. I created this free online course near the start of lockdown. You can rattle through it in less than a week and end up with a lovely photo (or something impressive to look at) every day. It's still available online - sign up via the link in my profile. Thanks for your kind words @acamp1807 about the course - pleasure to have you! 🌸 Sue x #mycreativecommunity ⁠.⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀ .⁠⠀⁠⠀ #makeyourselfathome #excessivelydivertedbyflowers #petalsandprops #moodcollectors⁠ #prettyperfectpetals #playingwithpetals #slowfloralstyle #IGflorals #instabloom #floralguff #mybloominglens #petalpower #flowerseveryday #gloomandglow #floralstories #wildforflowers #alltheprettyflorals #moodforfloral #underthefloralspell #flowermagic #inspiredbypetals⁠ #myfloraldays #isolationinspiration #bloomandgrow #inspire_and_create #slowdowncollective #daysofsimpleandslow #myslowandsimple #gowildlyandslow
  • Write something, anything ...⁠ what do you do when creativity goes on holiday?⁠ Without you.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Anyone who writes for a living (even captions here) knows that some days the words spill out like unwritten books. Others days there's a vanishingly small chance of producing anything worth reading.⁠ On those days, here's what I love -⁠⠀ ⁠⁠⠀ ★ Go retro - close your eyes and listen to typewriter sounds. Feels like being in a word-production factory. Sometimes works.⁠⠀ ★ Go micro - write anything for 10 minutes⁠ and see what happens. Follow the flow. Sometimes works. High risk, varied reward!⁠⠀ ★ Go analogue - simply pen & paper⁠. I just got some neon ink for my fountain pen⁠ 🖤 Sometimes works.⁠⠀ As my writer-crush David Sedaris says
  • Read the story ⤵️ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Just discovered this and it's made my day ✨⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The Activities Coordinator at a UK care home has worked with residents and carers during 4 months of lockdown to recreate classic album covers.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This is Sheila, 93, as Rag'n'Bone Man. Swipe for the album cover inspiration. Apparently it's the actual signed one Rag'n'Bone Man gave Sheila when she saw him perform live, pre-lockdown.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Loads more covers to see, all amazing - David Bowie, Madonna, Bruce ... Loving the work @insta_rob123 ✨⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ There's a Go Fund me page to support the project - here's the link -⁠⠀ https://gf.me/u/yf78ff⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #isolationinspiration #makeyourownlight #nothingisordinary⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #isolationcreation #lockdownactivities #moodcollectors #gloomandglow #distractionsandinspirations #theslowdowncollective #flashesofdelight #inspiremyinstagram #meetthemoment #thevisualcollective #thehappynow #artofvisuals #alittlebeautyeveryday #thatvelvetfeeling #todaysgoodthing #beautyyouseek #capturequiet #slowandglow #makemoremagic #mondaymotivations #mondaymotivation #mondaymood
