What a dress! When @benjaminfoxdressmaker spotted

What a dress! When @benjaminfoxdressmaker spotted my new collection with @harlequinfw they wanted to make a dress in it! Now I actually match my decor!

This dress shape is so perfect. I love the big sleeves, that goes so well with a fine knit underneath and the long gathered skirt looks perfect with boots, both of which I bought recently at @cosstores . Team with my signature big earrings ( these are old ones from @anthropologieeu ) and I feel a million dollars! Happy Monday folks! We can do this 👊

I hosted an event this week to show off all the hard work we’ve done in the house and showcase the new collection with @harlequinfw . It was a wonderful opportunity to fill the house with laughter, great conversation and celebrate our mutual love of colour! Since the pandemic I work more and more from home and it felt good to open the door and let people in.

The guest list was a mix of writers, artists, gardeners, cooks, designers and fashion stylists but one thing we have in common is embracing the joy of colour and celebrating how our homes are the foundation for a happy and fulfilling life.

However getting the house ready for such a group of discerning eyes was rather exhausting! I had to hide under the duvet yesterday! But I’m so grateful to everyone who came, their positivity and inspiration. Most of whom I met here on instagram. This is a special place to make like minded connections, yet it was great to actually have an excuse to get together in real life!

And this weekend Tom and are are celebrating not doing any house DIY for the first time in ages!

Special Thanks to @mad_about_the_house @erica_davies @hillhousevintage @andrea_childs_journo @theottohouse @clairevallis @michelleogundehin @mollymahonblockprinting @sophieabbottartist @gemswholesomekitchen @edwardrobinsonid @dahliabeach for making it such a wonderful day

Thanks to @gemswholesomekitchen fir feeding us!

thanks to @benjaminfoxdressmaker fir the custom made dress!

#AD Admit it! I can’t be the only one beginning

#AD Admit it! I can’t be the only one beginning to plan for Christmas. Conversations about the menu for the big day has started with gusto in my family. But my focus is always around creating a magical table setting. This year I’ll be incorporating these classic Christmas tree plates from @by_spode that set the festive scene without the need to add loads of other fiddly decorations. I’m all about maximum impact, minimum effort this time of year, and I love how this traditional design (85 years old this year) is the perfect touch of nostalgia to accompany my bright Paper straw stripe tablecloth and colourful gloss candle sticks. I then just add simple flowers by snipping some hydrangea heads and popping them in tumblers dotted along the table. Finally bring it all to life with plenty of candlelight. And voila, it’s the perfect table setting for a fantastical festive celebration. Oh, how I wish the Christmas lunch was this easy to prepare!

I’m so excited to present my new ready made cushion collection, in collaboration with @harlequinfw sold exclusively at @johnlewis
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cushions have long been an obsession of mine and I’m so thrilled with this capsule collection for @johnlewis because it combines all the pattern and colour so you can get an instant hit of maximalist spirit by creating any combination that works for you. There is the iconic Sherbert stripe, sitting amongst luxurious embroidered designs and heavily patterned velvets. My personal favourite is the deeply colourful jewel bug design🪲 Which ones yours?!

TVsnug reveal!

We are absolutely loving this room! What was a tiny north facing kitchen has been transformed into a cosy family room for curling up and watching TV. As the nights draw in and we are hunkering down, this room has all the comfort . Just curling up with a hot chocolate. Heaven.

How we did it…

Firstly I maximised all the space in this 4x3m room by having a corner sofa made to measure. The Grace corner sofa by @loveyourhomeuk is super comfy but better still upholstered in the glorious Wonderland floral velvet from my collection with @harlequinfw .

Then for extra comfort and pattern I’ve added plenty of cushions. These are from my new ready made collection available to buy now from @johnlewis . Very excited to se how great they all look together.

The round Dylan footstool, also @loveyourhomeuk , is covered in the striking Sherbert Stripe, and is perfect for a small room, doubling up as a coffee table. This fabrics is so eye catching I love it!

All of this glorious pattern is set off against the deep dark and cocooning wall colour called Cordoba by @littlegreenepaintcompany . It’s a deep brown, plum colour and feels so rich and enticing. I’m very pleased I took the leap of faith and did the ceiling too. It makes the room feel so cosy.

All the colours are finally bought together in this glorious painting by @sophieabbottartist . Inspired by the sunsets on our recent holiday to Marrakesh it fills me with fond memories. That and the vintage Moroccan rug from @tateanddarby completes the sultry Marrakech vibes.

The family absolutely love this room. Could you go this dark. I promise you won’t regret it if you do! Let me know what you think in the comments below 👇

Bedroom reveal! Over on my blog today I discuss my thoughts on my latest bedroom transformation. I’ve gone full throttle on the pattern with the walls wrapped in glorious florals and then a combination of stripes, modern geometrics and botanicals across soft furnishings.

For the full picture with my tips on how to mix pattern as well as a full source list of products visit the blog on sophierobinson.co.uk for a ten minute read with your morning cuppa.

What makes you feel truly happy in your home? On

What makes you feel truly happy in your home?

On this weeks The Great Indoors podcast we talk to interiors well being coach @happyhomeclinic about digging deeper than the perceived perfection portrayed in these squares.

It’s a fascinating topic and in this episode we cover so much. One of the things that resonated with me was the concept of discovering the purpose of your room and the purpose of you within it. Juan maintains that finding this leads to a deeper feeling of happiness than simply pursuing the joy of decorating.

So rather than following the obvious decorating advice of creating a calming bedroom which usually involves decorating in a palette of soft mid tones, pulling back on pattern and visual clutter in order to induce a sense of calm and aid sleep I discovered my rooms purpose was more than that. This is a room that makes me feel fabulous! I finally have a dressing table, for the first time in my life, and an armchair to relax and reflect that over looks the tree tops. I’ve surrounded myself in luxurious fabrics and jewel coloured patterns with the purpose of this room to embrace and indeed celebrate who I am when I feel my best.

And it is not lost on me that I’ve called in a team of people to help me create these perfect pictures! They are also press shots for my business after all, but huge Thankyou @brentdarbyphotography @frankienealmakeup for making me look the part! But even when I’m slobbing around in my joggers and slippers this room still makes me feel a million dollars!

Hope you enjoy todays episode and let me know in the comments how you find your purpose in your home.

All fabrics and wallpapers are from my new collection in colloboration with @harlequinfw
