Come meet my Mum! Latest from the Granny Annex

Interior Designer Sophie Robinson with her Mum in the Granny Annex garage conversion

I thought it was about time I introduced you to my Mum, who has also been the clinet for the past few months. We bought the house with her over a year ago and finally her Granny Annex is almost complete and ready for her to move in next door! In this video we have a look around and see the progress of the garage conversion. We reveal the Velfac windows going in and the sexy black weatherboarding is up! Next up we start talking interiors so subscribe to my newsletter so I can keep you posted.

PODCAST DAY! And in today’s show @mad_about_the_ PODCAST DAY! And in today’s show @mad_about_the_house and I discuss the importance of creating a focal point. Moreover I tell Kate she needs one and it turns out she has one all along. My bright pink stair runner acts as a focal point here, the colour cleverly leading your eye up the stairs. Tune in for more insights on this clever rule of successful decorating. Plus we talk to the charismatic @gordonwhistance who is the design producer on BBC ONE’s DIYSOS. Gordon has great insight into designing homes for people with disability as well as their carers. He shares how this incredible show, and great interior design, can be so incredibly life changing. And we finish off with a listeners dilemma concerning how to add character to a new build. It’ll be no surprise that utilising bold colour comes into all three topics on today’s show, as I continue to #banthebeige . You can listen to The Great Indoors by following the link in my profile. Huge thankyou to our sponsor @neptunehomeofficial for supporting this series, to our @katetaylorldn and to you, our lovely listeners! 📷 @aluncallenderphoto . . . #thegreatindoors #thegreatindoorspodcast

AD I’ve had a life long ambition to one day own AD I’ve had a life long ambition to one day own a chintz sofa, and finally my dream is fulfilled! My love of colour and pattern is joyfully expressed in this sofa which takes center stage, as it should, in my home. I started with the statement fabric, Magnolia by @gpjbaker which holds all my favourite colours. Deciding on the shape of the sofa came next. I wanted a style that was classic yet informal and above all comfy and the Lady May from @sofaworkshop fitted the bill perfectly. I have always been a fan of @sofaworkshop as they will cover your sofa in any suitable fabric and they have literally thousands of designs to choose from! So if you have something particular in mind, that isn’t ‘off the peg’ ordinary, then this has to be the way. So while my dream came true, maybe yours can too with a 15% off discount running currently on the Lady May. But which fabric to choose?! Just make sure you pick one that makes your heart beat faster.

AD Myself and @mad_about_the_house were pitched h AD Myself and @mad_about_the_house were pitched head to head to take the same @geberituk bathroom and design it in our signature style for their Inspiring Interiors campaign. It’s no surprise that I went hard on the colour and pattern but swipe to see who is hot on my heels! Kate’s room is an ice cream dream in pretty pink and *ahem* YELLOW while I opted for my go to more predictable combo of cobalt blue, pink and a little flash of yellow. Looks like we have more in common than we realised! Or maybe with all this podcasting we are brushing off on one another. And we both agree that soft pink looks lush with the black Acanto storage by @geberituk .

Today it’s podcast day! And @mad_about_the_house Today it’s podcast day! And @mad_about_the_house and I talk about escaping to the garden. We must have all thought about it! The untold benefits of a fantasy garden room. Be it an office, yoga studio, teens den, music studio, man cave or she shed all you need to know about planning your perfect garden getaway is discussed on the show. This is our tree house which has been my husband Tom’s lock down project, which I know we will all be fighting over when it’s finally finished! Also on the show we catch up on all the positive action which is underway to address diversity in our interior design community. We interview @dauleydesign who, along with @studioashby has set up and recently launched @united_in_design as a mentoring programme aimed at encouraging and nurturing talent from diverse backgrounds into interior design. And finally we open up our style surgery to solve the problem of the odd shaped room. So if you have one, tune in! Links to listen and the blog post show notes to support the show are all in the links in my profile. Thanks to @neptunehomeofficial for supporting the show and to @katetaylorldn for producing it.
It’s summer! The sun is out, homeschooling is ov It’s summer! The sun is out, homeschooling is over and here in the UK we are easing out of lockdown.

AD It’s New Homes Week this week which celebrate AD It’s New Homes Week this week which celebrates new build homes. Sure, they come all shiny, new, high spec and ready to go but it’s the opportunity to decorate a complete blank canvas that I relish. First up the quickest way to add character to you new home is with colour. And just don’t think paint. You can add a splash with accessories and furnishings too. I’m a long time lover of the gallery wall as a decorating tool that helps you create a real focal point in a room but also allows you to tell your own story. Through collecting pictures and paintings I’ve developed my own colour palette and love of pattern, all on one wall. It’s also a great way to make a new house feel like home. I’m over on @newhomesweek grid and website this week sharing my design ideas on how to design and style your new home with plenty of tips on to get it instagram ready! #NewHomesWeek #NHWUnlocked
