This Summer, we will continue to see all things pastel in the interiors market, in shades of pinks and blues. As Autumn / Winter 2016 approaches, I am predicting the new season trend of green and all things velvet. Green has been making its appearance for quite some time now, especially […]
Are you considering repainting your home and not sure what to pick? I was asked by Farrow and Ball to pick my favourite colour, from their collection. For those who know me, it probably came as no surprise, that I gravitated towards the one with a pinky hue. I picked Farrow […]
Happy New Year! I’m starting 2016 with an interiors post. Every year, I spend the Christmas holidays decluttering. Do you do that too? It’s my way of announcing a fresh start. Once I finish, I get that urge to redecorate, to create a new look in my home. Maybe it’s just my desire to say goodbye to […]
Recently, I was asked by Modern Rugs UK to pick my trend predictions for rugs as we go into 2016. I was given a choice from their 5 key interiors trends and I picked ‘Inspired by Nature’. 2015 saw the popularity of outdoor greenery being brought indoors. There was certainly an explosion of […]
It is an honour to be asked by Pantone this year to announce their Colours of The Year for 2016 on the blog. Yes, you heard right. It’s not just one colour but it’s a pairing of colours. I have kept this secret knowledge for weeks and have been bursting to tell […]

Farrow and Ball recently commissioned me to produce a mood board for them. I absolutely love their paints, so it was an instant yes. My whole house is actually painted in Farrow and Ball. Although my home is colourful, the backdrop is neutral. My walls are Farrow and Ball Strong White, the skirting boards […]
I’ve previously posted the kitchen that I styled for a collaborative project with Red magazine and The Joy of plants. My theme was The Happy Life trend, which was full of celebratory brights. There were 5 other designers who were each asked to style a room in the same Victorian […]
I was really excited when I saw the muted pastel tones within the John Lewis Natural Texture Edit collection. They were all my favourites, from duck egg blue to dusky pinks and minty greens. Inspired by the colours, and after a not so small shopping trip, I decided to style up a further curated collection […]
