House tour with Oliver Thomas

Oliver landscape portrait

How much did we all love Oliver Thomas and his maximalist style on the recent series of The Great Interior Design Challenge? I especially loved the sneeky peeks we got of Oliver in his own home so I just had to go round and see this budding interior designers home for myself. Check out this short video where I get an exclusive tour around Olivers North London home over on my YouTube channel. You can only delight in his colourful and eclectic style.

AD Introducing my very first home fragrance collec AD Introducing my very first home fragrance collection for @dunelmuk, and I couldn’t be prouder. 😊 I’ve poured my heart into creating three distinctive scents that each evoke a different mood: ‘Retreat’, ‘Joy’ and ‘Wanderlust’. Because the perfect scent really is the final flourish that makes a room feel special. Beautifully packaged, they make gorgeous gifts too. Candles are just £12, reed diffusers £18, so whether you’re creating a feeling of calm, sparking happiness or chasing adventure, there’s a scent to suit your space. Which one would you choose first?
There was a time when I thought the big milestones There was a time when I thought the big milestones in life were meant to come in neat little packages. Rings, romance, the whole shebang. Life had other plans, and honestly, I am quite glad it did. Because what I kept, what I built, and what I still wake up grateful for every day is my beautiful colourful home. This house has seen me through the joy and the heartbreak. It has held me, inspired me, pushed me to be braver with my creative ambitions and clearer about what truly lights me up. It is my safe place, my creative lab, my technicolour sanctuary. So yes, some women want diamonds. I want a home that feels like pure joy. If you feel the same, you are absolutely in the right place. Tell me… what’s the one thing in your home that makes you feel most like yourself?
AD There’s no better time than Christmas to go all AD There’s no better time than Christmas to go all out with colour and creativity. When I lay the table, I see it as a chance to build layers of joyful, jewel-like colour that make everything come alive. In true maximalist spirit, I clash pattern and contrast tones so the table feels like a real celebratory riot. Texture plays its part too – glistening glassware, beaded runners and flickering candlelight all add that touch of magic. I adored creating this collection for Dunelm, which perfectly captures my “more is more” philosophy. Because if there’s ever a time to embrace abundance, it’s Christmas! So layer up the colour, the pattern, the flowers and let the candlelight do its thing. Who else is excited for Christmas? Enchanted Garden dinner plates and pasta bowls, £8. Enchanted Garden side plates £6. Enchanted Garden serving platter, £25. Pack of 2 scalloped placemats, £12. Midnight Garden tablecloth, from £35. Wine goblet, £10. Tumbler, £8. Twisted candlestick holder, £8. All Sophie Robinson x Dunelm.
November Roundup. As winter gently settles in, her November Roundup. As winter gently settles in, heres what i’ve been up to lately. 1. Brighton seafront colour spotting. 2. A visit to Voysey House to see the team at @harlequin_fw. 3. So excited to be creating fresh brilliance with the @harlequinfw creative team Claire Vallis and @floraisabelledaly 4. The Beaver full supermoon lighting up the sky spectacularly. 5. I made a pact to see at least one live gig or theatre show each month. @ejthackray is a phenomenal act. 6. My other pact: to wake early, walk, and watch the sunrise instead of scrolling in bed. The rewards have been glorious. 7. A festive dash to my local @dunelmuk to stock up on Christmas decorations before they sell out. 😬 8. My heart spills over seeing my glorious tableware collection stocked on the shelves. I can’t wait to style it all up for Christmas. 9. Welcoming guests into my home for the final At Home design retreat of the year. Beautiful connections made while discovering the magic of creating a beautiful heart felt home. 10. A new restorative yoga class in this gorgeous barn with the wonderful @theacupuncturist . 11. @theacupuncturist always curates such a nurturing inspiring space as we shift into the season of rest. 12. The family tradition of picking our Christmas tree, a little earlier than usual this year. 13. Another amazing night out, dancing to @brandnewheavies with my partner in groove @shelleymariathasanholland 14. Shooting Christmas at home means beautiful chaos reigns. 15. Fresh hair and a little sparkle thanks to new earrings from @loelandco 16. Packing for something very exciting… my Interior Design Retreat at @elfennmarrakech 17. A magical evening at @wakehurst_kew for Glow Wild with Mum and Arthur. 18. The light show was utterly spectacular this year, we all loved it! 19. Arrived in @elfennmarrakech unpacked and excited to welcome our Retreat guests for a week of creativity, colour and mouthwatering design inspiration. ❤️ 20. Sunday night Moroccan style. Lamb tagine in front of the fire. Feeling blessed 🙏
AD Decorating the tree has always been steeped in AD Decorating the tree has always been steeped in nostalgia for me. As a little girl it was the highlight of the season, helping my mum unwrap the decorations we’d made and hanging them with great care. These days I honour that same tradition with Arthur, who still insists on choosing the tree and always gets stuck in helping me decorate. I bring out my old decorations like old friends every year, adding just a few new ones from my Christmas collection with @dunelmuk to give it a fresh look. Here are my tried-and-true tree styling tips: 1. Always a real tree for me. Nothing beats that pine scent filling the house. 2. Warm white lights only. I actually fancied multi coloured this year but Arthur put his foot down! 3. Tinsel for sparkle. Nestle it deep into the branches so it catches the light and shimmers in the back ground. 4. I’ve used haberdashery trims as garlands this year. They add such pretty texture and something unexpected. 5. Go big with bows. A few oversized decorations add instant drama. 6. Mix in sentimental pieces collected over the years. I treasure my grandmother’s vintage glass baubles and Arthur’s early nursery school creations. 7. Finish with giant paper decorations tucked under the lower branches to fill the gap before the presents arrive. And there she is… full of colour, sparkle and nostalgia. Just how Christmas should feel.

AD Continuing the Christmas joy, here is another l AD Continuing the Christmas joy, here is another look at my collection with @dunelmuk . This time it is all about the power of paper which fills me with childhood nostalgia. I wanted to create pieces that feel sculptural, sustainable and utterly theatrical and delivered all the impact to transform your home into a festive jewel box this season. The hanging balls and star fans look wonderful strung from a mantlepiece, down the banisters, or above the dining table (TIP: use command hooks to secure). I love stuffing the balls in the gap under the Christmas tree before the presents arrive. The paper wreath makes a striking statement on an indoor door or hung in front of a mantle mirror, and the crackers are a riot of pattern and colour that will add pizazz to the table... what else would you expect? I’ve included a family favourite of mine, a ‘who am I’ game that works with the stylish Christmas crowns. These paper decorations are lightweight, easy to reuse and designed to add instant impact. If you have been struggling to find my range in store, remember that everything is available online, so there is still plenty of time to gather your favourites. I loved designing this paper collection and I hope it brings a great big dose of joy to your Christmas styling. Pack of 5 paper balls £22, Set of five paper star fans £28, Set of three paper trees £16, Prism paper wreath £20, Set of six maximalist crackers £12, all Dunelm.
