How to style up your shelves like an Interior Stylist

One of the simplest way to upsell the look of your home is to style up your bookcase or open shelves. Oh so often I see them groaning under the weight of travel guides, DVD’s and Cd’s and they are well, quite frankly an eyesore! So think about how you style up your shelves with the ideas I share in this short video.

Just how we like it…back lit! The PODCAST is back and today @mad_about_the_house and debate THE BIG LIGHT and if is indeed a design crime to have one central pendant as you only light source in a room. Hands up who’s guilty! Line yourself up in the comments.
Next up we discuss the latest crop of design books which you might like to find under the Xmas tree. From the nostalgic delights served up by @hillhousevintage to the mouthwatering decoration inspiration from @sallydenningstylist to the more considered thoughts of Matt Gibberd of @themodernhouse fame there really is something for everyone.
Lastly a listener gets in touch about decorating an attic bedroom with a view over the tree tops. What a nice problem to have, abs we were happy to serve up our conflicting thoughts to leave you all more confused! That’s the beauty of the podcast after all , you do t expect us to agree do you! You can find THE GREAT INDOORS on your podcast app. Thanks to Kate Taylor for producing the show and you lovely lot for listening.

You can never have enough yellow in my design book! It’s such a joyful and optimistic colour for me and I have a splash of it in every room in my home. But I’ve ramped it up in the living room with these fabulous new curtains and blind from one of my favourite British textile designers @margoselbystudio who has just launched a range of striking new woven textiles with @hillarysblinds. I adore how this velvet relief pattern contrasts with the slubby woven background, so it’s not just colour and pattern but texture is celebrated too. You can slide through the pictures to see the detail. I love to play with my interiors, and introducing ANOTHER pattern to this maximalist scheme has created a different vibe in here! For me the trick is to blend geometrics, florals, stripes, botanicals all together but it’s the large chintz sofa that provides the colour palette that helps it all hang together. If you have one hero pattern in the room you can add more and more pattern over time as long as you match it in with the core colours. I’m thinking the pale pink walls could do with an update next. Dare I do more yellow?! Let me know what you think! 💛

When you do an update at home make sure you get rid of your old furnishings responsibly. I use online market places and charities to make sure things find a new home and can continue to be appreciated. I’m also not afraid to mix old and new in my interiors, it helps make a house feel like home. ❤️

I love being privy to new collections and was one of the first to get my eyes on the glorious @margoselbystudio collection of made to measure curtains and blinds for @hillarysblinds . I’ve loved Margo’s work for years, she’s a hero of British design and her eye catching woven textiles are instantly recognisable. I also love getting behind the scenes and seeing the manufacturing process. Especially as I have my own order from the collection to update my living room. Look out for the reveal posted here later this week! And I might have found a new vocation!
