The Annex Build part 4- paint colours revealed

Now all the structural work has been done in the annex we are able to get some paint on the walls. In this short video I reveal the colours we have chosen for the annex and why I think they work so well for each different area. Still a little tease as the full reveal […]

I needed some time out and I gifted it to myself.

Working from home with the kids off school over their school holidays is the pits in my view. Sure you can work while they play in the other room but I feel distracted and guilty. So this week I took it off. I’ve enjoyed decorating Arthur’s bedroom with him (reveal coming soon!) taking the dog on long walks, going to the gym, listening to podcasts and sitting in the sun. I have a huge list of things to do, It never ends, but taking this week as a holiday without the pressure or expense of going on holiday has been so rejuvenating. Big changes are afoot and I need to feel resourced. And beginning by doing nothing has been the best tonic!

Have a gorgeous weekend whatever you are doing! I’m planning as little as possible!

AD Yes, you can have colour in your kitchen! And it doesn’t have to be all be about the cabinets and decoration. You can inject a dose of joyful colour in accessories and cookware. I’m in love with the wide range of colour options on offer at @lecreusetuk and the recently launched new colourway Rhône, which is this deep sumptuous red that suits my scheme perfectly. Red is undoubtably having a moment and is set to be a big colour trend in kitchen design this year. But why stick with just one colour when you can have two! I’ve paired it with Nectar yellow, to complete my colourful country kitchen scheme.

I have fond memories of my Mums dark green Le Creuset collection that matched her Aga and was her pride and joy, and now I’m thrilled to have my own heirloom pieces. My advice is to pick the colour you love because Le Creuset is designed to last a lifetime, and great taste never dates.

🌟 Elevate your plain sofa with pattern!

Looking to infuse flair and some va va voom to your room? All it takes is some well chosen cushions! Here’s how to make your sofa pop with personality:

1️⃣ Mix Patterns: Combine different pattern motifs like geometrics, floral designs, classic stripes, bold checks for an eclectic look. And a plain cushion will always help break up too much pattern

2️⃣ Blend Colours: Ensure your cushions complement each other by sticking to a cohesive colour palette. Whether you prefer vibrant hues or subtle tones, the colours tie everything together seamlessly.

3️⃣ Express Yourself: Your sofa should reflect your unique style and personality. Whether it’s fabulous florals, minimalist elegance, modern graphics, or bold and vibrant or soft and subtle, let your cushions make a statement about your individual style.

Ready to transform your sofa into a statement piece? I have curated 22 different cushions for my new collection with @dfs that you can have the confidence mix and match effortlessly. check out my new collection with them, link in bio.

AD Red is having a moment in interiors so here’s how to make it work in your kitchen colour scheme. Inspired by the new Rhône colourway by @lecreusetuk let’s take a look at some potential colour combinations and the different affects they create.

KEEP IT TONAL For subtle sophistication opt for Rhône’s tonal partner, pale pink. This soft Shell Pink compliments the deep Rhône red impeccably and feels a very on trend way to use red right now.

ADD ENERGY AND HARMONY To ramp things up a bit Rhône looks so good next to its neighbour Nectar yellow. They are both warm and robust colours and set a joyful and optimistic mood.

GO FOR STRIKING CONTRAST It’s true that opposites attract and the cool blue Chambray makes the deep Rhône red look even more rich and dramatic.

I like to think I was ahead of the curve when I put I my deep red kitchen island, so I’m thrilled to introduce some of the Rhône red @lecreusetuk into my scheme. I’d love to know how you would use Rhône in your colour schemes. Let me know in the comments below

Spring! My favourite season!
Taking a moment to feel grateful for the joy and optimism it brings. I feel my energy rising, as I throw myself into new design projects with gusto! Cupboards get sorted, dust gets dusted, paperwork gets filed and yesterday the socks came off! The longer days brings positive mornings and I’m literally skipping into my day to the tune of birdsong.

Take a moment to love the sunlight this time of year and the amazing halo you get around the edges of the clouds or the streaks of piercing light through the trees. And let’s not forget the colours! Fresh Spring greens and vibrant daffodil yellows will shake you out of a fug. I love the gentle joyousness of the spring palette and so celebrate with jar of daffs on the kitchen table. We planted 1000 bulbs in the winter so am delighted with the sprinkling of colour.

Could Spring be your favourite season too? Let me know!

AD My home comes to life when I fill it with friends and gathering people around the dining table is my favourite way to entertain. Colour is the best way to set the mood and for this spring table setting, I’m loving this soft yet joyful colour palette made up with the newest @lecreusetuk colourway Chambray, paired against the pretty Shell Pink. Pale, light and bright colours are perfect for creating an uplifting and convivial mood, and you can add Spring flower tones of primrose yellow, hyacinth and mint green to complement this pastel colour story.
How will you be entertaining this Easter?

I’m obsessed with rugs so yes, of course I found a place for them in my kitchen!

This beauty is from @thatrebelhouse who source the most beautiful vintage ones, always loud and proud with colour. This one fitted my kitchen palette perfectly and I love how it pulls together all the colours in my scheme. Quite often kitchen floors are neutral so adding a splash of colourful pattern is a must for any colour lover.

A kilim rug is perfect as it’s lightweight so easy to pick up and shake outside or whizz over with the vac. I’ve had this one almost a year and it still looks perfect.

A vintage rug is ideal in a new kitchen as it softens that box fresh look and brings a vintage charm to a country style kitchen.

Would you have a rug in your kitchen?
