Furniture layout and electrical plan for the Annex project

Furniture layout

Getting a furniture plan laid out is the first step to creating a successful interior design. From there you can plan where you need the plot the electrics and the plan for the lighting design. It’s the basic first step and I show you an really easy way to do it. All you need is a measured rule, some paper and scissors and a scale plan from your architect.

A vision board is like a compass that will lead your goal settings and intentions with total clarity. To prepare i like to take lots of long walks and meditate on what it is so want more of in my life while gratefully letting go of what no longer serves me. 

Join me Wednesday for a live webinar on how to I create a Vision board that will ignite your passion and motivation to live a bold, creative and colourful life! Comment VB26 for the link.
Dark and moody colours can feel intimidating, but Dark and moody colours can feel intimidating, but my TV snug shows just how well they can work. The deep tones soften the space and create a calm, cocooning atmosphere, perfect for evenings spent watching TV, or retreating from the day.

Contrary to what you might think, this room really comes into its own in winter. Low light and long evenings make the colour feel enveloping and cosy. It’s a space that invites you to slow down, sink in, and make yourself comfortable.

I sampled so many different paints but Cordoba by Little Greene was the perfect choice for this room. It’s full of depth and warmth, and just the right amount of drama. 

And if you’re thinking about taking the leap yourself, my tip is: don’t fight the natural light you have, lean into it. Don’t be shy about colour drenching walls, woodwork and ceiling so the room feels seamless and intentional. In my snug, that richness is what makes it feel cosy and complete.

There’s no place I’d rather be on chilly evenings.
How do I explain this feeling to a minimalist? To How do I explain this feeling to a minimalist?

To some people this might look like too much, but for me, maximalism isn’t excessive, it’s pure self expression. I decorate my home to reflect the way I live and that’s full of bold uplifting, joy-giving colour. Every patterned textile, every artwork, every joyful little object earns its place because it makes me feel happy. 

And if I’m being honest a neutral room doesn’t make me feel calm, it makes me feel slightly depressed. My home lifts my mood, fires my creativity and gives me a little thrill every single day.

Now tell me… are you Team Minimal or Team Maximal? And what makes your heart sing at home?
There’s something about walking that has quietly h There’s something about walking that has quietly held me together this past year.

When life threw its challenges my way, my anxiety went into overdrive. I lost clarity, my head was foggy, and the overwhelm shut me down. But walking, one step in front of the other, slowly moved me in the right direction.

We all know walking is good for the body, but it’s also one of the most powerful tools for the mind. Moving helps process stuck emotions, those steady steps soothe racing thoughts, and the changing scenery opens up fresh ways of thinking. Being in nature grounds you. And the best part is, it’s free.

Whenever I’m preparing a new vision for my year or any creative project, I always start with a long solo walk. I take my journal, let the thoughts tumble out, and begin to find a clarity and direction again. Next step is to use my creativity to create a powerful vision board full of images that resonate with how I want to feel and who I want to be. Less of a to do list, more of an emotional reset. This works for me as it brings in the light, and more importantly keeps me inspired and motivated.

If you’re ready to gently clear the fog and get clear on what you want more of, my ‘Life in Colour Vision Board Masterclass’ is now on sale. I’m hosting on the 21st January, 7pm GMT (with a recorded replay available). Comment VB26 below and I’ll send you all the details. 

Can’t wait to see what we can create together this year!
If you want to create a reality, you first need a If you want to create a reality, you first need a vision of what that reality feels and looks like. And a vision board is a tool that’s backed by real science and powerful psychology.

Our brains process images up to 60,000 times faster than words, which means they land instantly. It’s called the ‘picture superiority effect’. Pictures are remembered more easily because they speak directly to emotion and imagination. They help us feel something deeper, which is why images move us in a way that words or lists never can.

When you fill your board with images of your hopes and dreams, your brain starts getting to work:

💡 You activate the same neural pathways that light up when you’re actually living that experience, so your brain begins to believe it’s possible.
💡 Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters the world around you, spotting anything that helps bring that vision to life.
💡 And you connect emotionally with your goals, which keeps you inspired long after the January motivation fades.

Every image you choose is a tiny declaration of intent. A signal to your brain about what matters and where you want to go next. So vision boards are literally neuroscience in action.

Join me for my Vision Board Masterclass Webinar on 21st January at 7pm GMT, and I’ll show you how I create a board that doesn’t just look beautiful, but genuinely helps shape the year ahead.

Marrakech. Go for the interiors. Come home with a Marrakech. Go for the interiors. Come home with a whole new wardrobe.

Marrakech’s design scene is having a serious moment and alongside the riot of interiors, the fashion just keeps getting better. So much of it draws on Morocco’s extraordinary textile and artisanal heritage, then gives it a contemporary twist that feels fresh and joyfully colourful.

My first stop is always the @elfennmarrakech boutique. Creative director @yannrehaan has an impeccable eye and that rare talent for mixing bold colour, riotous pattern and beautiful textures in a way that feels effortless but considered. It is all with the celebration of the handmade, bohemian and yet quietly glamorous. Everything I love about this city in one beautifully curated space.

I like to visit in the cooler winter months. Fewer crowds, softer light and the perfect temperatures for mooching through souks and markets without wilting by lunchtime.

Style here is all about layering and not taking it all too seriously. Think Adidas track pants under a pretty cotton dress or a pair of sandals picked up from the souk with a flowing silk gown for the evening. Anything goes, as long as it makes you feel relaxed and a little fabulous.

I love Marrakech for this special bohemian air, not to mention the colour, and always leave slightly more flamboyant than when I arrived. Honestly, how could you not.

This weekend I’m heading out to @elfennmarrakech to host our Interior Design Retreat, but just know that the dressing up is all part of the experience!
