Design Post Cologne is located in the historic halls of a former post office and a showroom where exclusive international interior design brands present their current trends. Located on walking distance of the IMM Messe, it was easy to have a look at the different expositions.
I loved the light and relative small space and was really charmed by Montis, who created different ‘rooms’ all beautifully styled with lots of plants. I didn’t liked the colour green for years, but loved the combination of concrete floors, the huge green modular couch, beautiful painted walls, the many plants and outdoor lamp Ipnos by Flos.

DIY Idea for your hanging plants
A really easy DIY idea I found in one of the other rooms, I am not a huge fan of macrame hangers that for me are a bit to rustic often, plus to be honest I prefer some beautiful kokodame plants up in the air instead.
This hanger is more my style and to make it you just need 2 long strips with a metal ring at each end of the strip, add them crosswise on the bottom and bring them together with a piece of rope at the top to attach. I can imagine these fitting my home perfectly made out of black leather. Did you see my post where I hang a lamp at my studio using more or less the same principle: My home| Playing with colour Do you have a perfect DIY idea yourself feel free to sent me your ideas.
