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.

ITS PODCAST DAY! And on today’s show @mad_about_the_house and I discuss interiors fascination with all things rattan. Wether sourcing the best bit of vintage ( apparently Italian is best) to shopping sustainably from the high street it seems we cannot get enough of its rustic charms. Pictured here are a pair of my grandmother’s cane chairs which I recently had reupholstered. ( tap for credits) We also review the latest crop of fascinating design books by @oliverheathdesign and @kitkempdesignthread and @phaidonsnaps to keep you inspired this summer. And we answer a listeners dilemma around how to decorate a hallway that lacks light. And on that @mad_about_the_house tend to disagree! Listen to The great indoors on your podcast app and join our private Facebook page for all the chat. Thanks to @geberituk for supporting the show and to @sarahcuddon for producing.

This is what every single cushion, pillow, couch cushion and duvet looks like when all piled into one small bedroom. Three feet deep of feather filled softness and ten year old den heaven. Happy holidays!

Going out on a Friday! Can’t tell you how thrilling this is! We are going to some gorgeous local friends for supper but I’ve put on a dress and some eargear for good measure. Feels like I haven’t been out for ages! Probably because I haven’t! Have a gorgeous weekend you lovely lot!

PODCAST DAY! And in today’s show @mad_about_the_house discovers if she is indeed a Stylish Person and if her home is indeed filled with things that Stylish People have. Listen to the podcast to take the test! We also unpick our fascination with 70s interiors, blood red walls and oversized potted orchids, care of the hit TV show Halston, over on @netflixuk . Who’s watched it?! ❤️And we have the most fascinating and insightful interview with Professor Stephen Westland who has produced a research paper for our sponsors @harlequinfw to discover how the colours we choose to decorate our homes in, impacts our happiness. I’ve recently decorated my bedroom this incredible Turquoise and it’s bringing me all the tranquility and optimism of the Caribbean sea. While Stephen has stacks of hard facts and science, ultimately listening to your gut response to colour is the best thing you can do. 🌈. More insights over on the harlequin website., which is worth a read. You can listen to the podcast on your app. Please subscribe and leave us a review if you can! And a huge thankyou for @harlequinfw for supporting the series and to @katetaylorldn for producing the show. And let me know what colours bring you joy!

Don’t be fooled by the cool composure! Work and indeed life has been mental and it’s left me frazzled of late and shows no signs of slowing! Thanks to those of you who have reached out and missed me. All is well, I’ve just had a little digital detox which I’m all the better for! A week with the sand between my toes and my eyes off my phone has been the best tonic. I was feeling pretty burnt out and the sea air not to mention swimming in the sea everyday, eating and drinking all the ‘wrong’ stuff has been all good stuff. It’s so important to get off the hamsters wheel and let it all go every now and then and slip into some proverbial or indeed actual elasticated waisted trousers! Seems life continues to be full of a roller coaster of uncertainties. How do you decompress and step off the wheel?
