Well this is a momentous day! After recording two

Well this is a momentous day! After recording two whole episodes remotely @mad_about_the_house and I were finally able to get out from under our cramped duvet dens and meet in person! We are invited into the beautiful home food writer @skyemcalpine for a fully sanitised and socially distanced house tour! Her colour filled home brings together her love of food, entertaining friends, travel and vintage and her unique vision was all bought together by the acclaimed designer @benpentreath . It was an absolute delight, just scroll through for the evidence! And as series eight comes to a close I hope you’ll raise a glass with me and Kate to celebrate our podcast turning two years old and hitting over a MILLION downloads! A huge thank you to all of you for tuning in and supporting the shows with your views and reviews. We hugely appreciate all the love and support. And we could do it without the support of our fabulous series sponsor @neptunehomeofficial so Thankyou to them, and to the amazing @katetaylorldn who crafts our waffles into something that’s a joy to listen to! Enjoy this episode and see you in The Great Indoors!

A view through my home. How many patterns can you

A view through my home. How many patterns can you spot?! I adore vibrant botanical and floral prints and there is a flash in everyone. From my hallway through to the kitchen and into my office on the right. Every pattern is a different but my colour palette anchors them. Be it wallpaper, artwork, fabric or furniture let the joy of pattern in! And better still the floral prints link into the rural setting outside. Natural motifs give me the feel good vibes, how about you? Tap for credits.

Friday! And I’ve just taken delivery of this beautiful painting by @beckyblairartist . I planned to put it in the new bathroom but that’s all switched about a bit so here it is finding pride of place in my office. It’s huge! And know I will love looking at it everyday. The palette is perfection and I live it set against the densely patterned @houseofhackney wallpaper. You can never have too much pattern in my opinion. New lamp and vases from @grahamandgreen just finish it off. Hope you e all had a brilliant week. It feels great to be back in the saddle. Have yourselves a lovely weekend x .

Podcast day today and so much to talk about! @mad_

Podcast day today and so much to talk about! @mad_about_the_house and I discuss our holiday destinations and interior inspirations, we interview rock star @skin_skunkanansie from her home in Ibiza. Skin is well known for her music career and maybe less known for having studied architecture and being a passionate interior decorator. We also discuss the hotly anticipated @duluxuk colour of the year and debate if indeed, in these extraordinary time’s, the very concept of trends is dead. Given a moment to reflect this morning I feel we are in polarising times. We sit further apart on our political stances and people have increasingly strong opinions! Why is it all kinds of wrong to hang a curtain of fabric round your basin while it’s considered super chic to have one around the kitchen sink? Is Brave ground the colour to root and support us or it is a mug of mushroom soup when you were really hoping for a hot chocolate. These weighty topics and more over on The Great Indoors podcast today on your podcast app. But my takeaway is to be a bit more like Skin, who’s glitter ball shower room features on this square. Boll🐂 to it all. Just decorate how you want and do what makes you happy! (While of course maintaining a sensible social distance! ) Thankyou to our sponsor @neptunehomeofficial for supporting the show and our fabulous producer @katetaylorldn . Nd if you have a strong opinion come and join us over on the Great Indoors podcast Facebook group. We are all ears!

Wow what a transformation! I have to admit I love

It’s podcast day! And in this episode we bring you our kitchens and bathrooms special. Arguably two of the most expensive and challenging rooms to design. So we went right to the top and asked a woman who always has her finger on the pulse @busolaevans from @livingetcuk Who lets us in on the trends she sees worth jumping on. We also ask maker of drool worthy kitchens @neptunehomeofficial what colours are most popular (aside from grey! 😢) and I share my plans for my new bathroom, currently undergoing its de-beiging transformation! In short, I keep it colourful and try to use as many ‘living room’ style elements to soften the look. From textiles, to plants and decorative accessories, it’s all about knocking off the cold hard edges. Tune in on your podcast app and then join in on the debate on our face book group ‘The great indoors podcast’. What tricks have you used to stop your bathroom feeling too cold and clinical and avoid that ‘ straight out of a bathroom brochure’ look? I’d love to know! Tap for credits. Thanks to our sponsor @neptunehomeofficial for supporting the series and to @katetaylorldn for producing the show. .

AD
The sofa is one of those big ticket purchases that we agonised over. Yes it needs to be super comfortable, look the part, fit the space and sum up our decorative style. It’s a tall ask, so something to give plenty of thought to. I chose the Lady May by @sofaworkshop because it’s generous size is perfect to curl up in and yet looks elegant and curvy from all angles. And because sofa workshop have thousands of fabrics to choose from, I could be sure to get my signature style. This highly patterned floral chintz is fulfilling my maximalist tendencies and takes centre stage in my colour scheme, pulling all the other elements together. I love how a patterned sofa helps create a feeling of lightness and space, your eye can travel through the pattern, whereas a solid colour can actually appear more heavy and dominant in the room. With a 15% discount running currently on the Lady May, which fabric would sum up your signature style? But hurry as the offer ends this Monday.
