Styled Canvas is written by Mel Chesneau who lives in Auckland New Zealand.

With a website around interiors she describes her style on her website as ” I am a lover of so many different styled interiors, from the mid-century classic, to the eclectic or Nordic cool. My all time favourite style is the mix of everything – what the French call, “Bobo” (bourgeois bohemian). To me a mid century chair looks great beside an antique cabinet, as does a flea market art find from an unknown artist that’s hung next to a collectable artist, and let’s not forget a designer lamp on a distressed table”.
