Ohh this was a lovely post! Totally the styles I love. What’s the name of your friend who does the beautiful tassels? I NEED them! I think wearing colour makes you feel fun too. Great style x

My friend who makes the tassle jewellery is Katie Weiner. Stunning isn’t it!

I feel like a stalker! Your style is bright and non-tacky. It is confident and sophisticated, something which wearing bright colours lacks at times. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey Sophie,
I have a Parisian themed room with a light patterned wall-paper and white walls. My accent colour being a very light purple/violet!
I really want to make it chic, sophisticated and very Parisian – but I have no idea where to start!
Do you have any tips or ideas?

Sounds lovely! For a Parisian theme I think its all a bit bohemian and romantic. Distressed painted furniture, antique mirrors, fringed lampshades and luxurious fabrics like silk and velvet should do the trick!

The wetroom makeover gathers apace. It’s extraor The wetroom makeover gathers apace. It’s extraordinary how much work goes into preparing such a tiny room. Pipe work has been chased into walls, soil pipe re positioned. New sub floor fitted and now finally this weekend the room has been tanked ready for tiling next week! It might only be a tiny room, just 1x2m but I’m going all out in colour and pattern! Small rooms can really take it. It will be like walking into a happy box of sunshine! Cannot wait to reveal it to you!

Last in the series!) @mad_about_the_house both head out to The Great Outdoors and talk about what we love about our back gardens. You can see Kate’s suitably stylish outside living room (swipe left) and my more rural affair! I actually just grab rugs and cushions from the house and lay them out under the willow tree, with the children’s swing as a handy side table! Rey impromptu but it works! What an incredible week to get outside whatever you’re garden situation. 🥵 And in this episode we also have a catch up about diversity in design as conversations turn into positive action. We interview the incredible design brain @matt_gibberd , the mastermind behind the cult estate agency @themodernhouse . And finally we chat all things trending #cottagecore #grandmacore and #nancore.

Now that Toms Brighton development is drawing to a Now that Toms Brighton development is drawing to a close I will be able to pass the baton and start to get back to work. While I’ve loved being with Arthur during lock down the home schooling has been hard for both of us. He ‘breaks up’ for the holidays in two weeks but has a summer of being with his dad to look forward to while I look forward to getting back to my desk. So looking forward to sharing more interior inspiration with you here. Lovely illustration by @sjaxelby . Check out her feed for more beautiful colourful interior inspiration!
This week I’ve enjoyed stepping back from the gr This week I’ve enjoyed stepping back from the grid and handing over these squares to black-owned interiors accounts that I love, and to support #diversityindesign. Please do read my previous posts for context. Instagram has been a great platform for @somethingbluehome to share her obvious talent for design, where she has had the door to a career closed too many times due to racist attitutes. You can hear Angie’s full story on this weeks The Great Indoors podcast. But meanwhile can we all give some love to that yellow stair case! Hello, I’m Angie. I set up my interiors account to explore my love for bold, colourful and eclectic interiors. I’ve always known that there is an under-representation of Black and minority ethnic groups in the world of interiors, however, I naively thought that with the right attitude, commitment and passion — being a young black woman would not be a barrier to success in the industry. Sadly, my experience of racial discrimination left that dream unfulfilled. One particular experience etched in my memory was when I was asked to leave a shoot because the homeowners didn’t feel comfortable with having ‘me’ around. Presently, when the world seems more aware and awake to the perils of systemic racism, injustice and inequality, I have found myself sad, at times angry and hurt as to why it has taken this long. However, I feel encouraged by the actions of the many to fight for change. My hope is that — people will see the talents of BAME creatives first and not their skin colour when deciding whether to hire them or not. I hope that we can collectively work together to increase diversity in ALL industries.
Today on The Great Indoors podcast @mad_about_the_ Today on The Great Indoors podcast @mad_about_the_house and I bring you a special extended episode. Everyone has felt effected by the recent #blacklivesmatter movement and it’s sparked many much-needed conversations both online and around our kitchen tables. We decided to look at diversity within our interior design community by passing the mic to Black, Asian and minority ethnic interior designers, TV presenters, authors, commissioners, casting directors, bloggers and Instagrammers and asking them to share their experiences on what it is like in the world of interiors. It makes for sobering listening and there are conclusions we can draw in order to make much needed change. But the first thing we need to do is listen. We also have the absolute pleasure to talk to colour expert and trend forecaster @m_shillingford about how the power of colour can lift us up during these uncertain times and Kate and I tackle Kitchen revamp ideas to keep you all busy refreshing your homes during lock down. I’d like to thank our amazing sponsor @geberituk for their continued support and our super talented and oh so commited producer @katetaylorldn for whom without, this would all be just be waffle. Tune in on your podcast app and please let us have your thoughts on the show and keep these conversations for change going. All links to listen plus blog notes in my profile.
This week I’m stepping back from the grid and ha This week I’m stepping back from the grid and handing over these squares to black-owned interiors accounts that I love, and to support #diversityindesign. Please do read my previous posts for context. Eva from UK design house @evasonaike brings forth her heritage and love of colour to everything she designs. I’ve been a long time fan of her striking patterns…and you can tell why! I am Nigerian but was born and raised in Southern Germany. I came to London in the late 1990s to study journalism at London College of Fashion. After working in fashion and lifestyle journalism for many years, I saw a gap in the market for a premium brand that reflected the vibrance, elegance and commercial viability of African design within interior design. I followed my instinct and passion and founded Eva Sonaike, an interior brand that specialises in luxury African-inspired home-decor and textiles with bold colours. We have been running for over 10 years and I’ve been blessed with making my dream a reality. We are represented world-wide, work with amazing stockist here in the UK and abroad and have collaborated with leading interior design firms on commercial and residential projects around the globe. But at the same time, this 10-year journey has been extremely lonely at times. A loneliness that is quite difficult to describe. At trade shows and industry events, I am often one of the few Black female-owned design businesses present. This can make you feel uncomfortable and exposed and have a negative impact on your overall performance. There needs to be more inclusion and openness both in the UK and the international design industry. We all have to address the uncomfortable topic of prejudice in representation and recruitment, now more than ever. I really hope that this moment represents a change.
This week I’m stepping back from the grid and ha This week I’m stepping back from the grid and handing over these squares to black-owned interiors accounts that I love, to support #diversityindesign. Please do read my previous posts for context. Sharing your home on here is an intimate thing to do and it’s a chance to share our personal stories. First up a woman after my very own heart, pattern lover extraordinaire, Laura from @nofeaturewalls . I grew up in North London and as a teenager my dad took me to the William Morris gallery in Walthamstow. I was hooked on pattern and interiors from that point on. My grandmother was a part of the Windrush generation and like most immigrants of the time she decorated her home with her unique Caribbean style, which was heavy pattern, wild wallpaper, and ‘good’ furniture that was covered in plastic! No one had much money but making the house look good was a priority. People just did their own thing and were inspired by what Winnie down the road had done. Whilst I am renovating my own house in Oxfordshire, I try to incorporate these styles into my own decorating. I love to use traditional heritage brands in a new way and I am partial to a bit of wallpaper. Over the last few months I have encountered a real mix of people on this platform but at the ‘big account’ level there are very few BAME people. I would love to see more accounts leading the way and hopefully this translates into a more diversified offline interiors world too.
