Guest Blogging: One Fine Stay

Hello Readers! Today, I am pleased to introduce One Fine Stay. One Fine Stay gives you the chance to stay in someone's place while they're out of town. The concept is that you live like a local and not like a tourist...

Back to Black and White

Pantone’s Colour of the Year has been declared, and they really made a good choice with Emerald Green. But why not go back to the basics? For simple modern design, black and white with a splash of colour is still a timeless classic.

This apartment in South Kensington, London plays well with that idea. The main features, like sofas, chairs, beds and walls are kept in black and white. Then there are the eye-catchers; a vintage red fire bucket, striking blinds, colourful flowers or a headboard in shocking purple.Another example can be found in Central London. The black mantelpiece dominates the living room, while the blue carpet and white walls provide a good contrast.These are just two of more than 1,000 apartments that can be rented with onefinestay, London’s first ‘unhotel’, which also has another office in New York. The idea is simple; guests can stay in someone else’s home while they are not in town, and receive all of the comforts of a hotel. Alongside fancy toiletries and fresh linens, the stay also includes an iPhone for use throughout the stay which is loaded with recommendations on where to go in the area. The idea is to help visitors to London and New York live like a local, and with these homes as an example, let’s look forward to seeing onefinestay around the world!
