Is this your sign? I first read The Secret by Rho Is this your sign? I first read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne twenty years ago, and it opened my eyes to the power of manifestation. Since then, I’ve used those principles to create a life filled with joy, colour and adventure. More recently, I’ve been inspired by neuroscientist @drtaraswart and her new book The Signs, which brings the science to the spiritual. This year has been a tough one, and I’ve spent much of it in “doing” mode. But when we stay there too long, it’s easy to lose the openness that creativity needs to flow. Travel has always been a big part of my vision. It fuels my creativity, connects me with inspiring people, and fills me with fresh ideas and energy for my work. My recent trip to Barbados reminded me of that; those colours, that light, that joy. I came home renewed and re-inspired. While I was there, I found myself dreaming about hosting a retreat somewhere just as magical. But for now, the universe has opened a few spaces on my @elfennmarrakech retreats this December (1–5) and January (12–16). If you’ve been waiting for a sign to travel, reconnect, and recharge your creative energy… this might just be it. ✨ Link in bio to find out more and to grab the last few spots!
AD It’s a real pinch me moment… my brand new t AD It’s a real pinch me moment… my brand new tableware collection for @dunelmuk Dunelm has officially landed! We’ve created four joyful colourways, designed so you can mix and match like a true maximalist, or pick your favourite palette and play with the patterns. i wanted every plate, bowl and mug to have that perfectly imperfect painterly, handmade feel that makes it feel just a little bit more special. Look out for my signature wavy edge and the tiny bug motif that pops up throughout the collection and there’s even more from the new festive collection that will mix in perfectly with this if you’re planning your Christmas table! All dishwasher safe and ready to bring colour, charm and personality to your table. Available in store and online at @dunelmuk now. Dinner plates and pasta bowls, £8. Side plates £6. Large serving platter £25. Because why should your plates be beige when they can be this beautiful?! Which is your favourite, let me know in the comments
AD It’s not often I find a holiday home that get AD It’s not often I find a holiday home that gets colour just right – but this Barbados villa had me at hello. A joyful mix of tropical brights and soft pastels set against crisp white walls, with a playful nod to Palm Springs mid-century style. Think banana prints, bold stripes and even a few traditional British antiques woven in for charm. It felt like a true home-from-home, full of personality and thoughtful details, all taken care of by my friend and fellow interior stylist Zoe @skybluepink_barbados With four bedrooms and three bathrooms it is situated in St James, super central and just a 5 min drive from the Paynes Bay and Sandy lane. It was the perfect backdrop to our girls get away! Good news is you can book it yourself via @_oliverstravels_ and yes, there’s still plenty availability, even for Christmas! Wouldn’t that be the ultimate gift! #ad #prstay
Welcome to my happy place! Every room in my home Welcome to my happy place! Every room in my home is bursting with colour, pattern and joy. It’s where I found my colour confidence and created a space that feels perfectly me. And now, I’m opening the doors and inviting you in too. Join me here for my new Discover Your True Colours masterclass, an intimate, hands-on creative day at my home near Lewes. We’ll gather around the kitchen table, play with palettes, and have transformative conversations about how knowing your true colours can change your life. I’ll share the tricks, tips, and mindset shifts I’ve learned over years of designing, so you can start creating spaces that feel joyful and authentic. It’s a cosy day with laughter, lunch and proper connection, a chance to soak up some inspiration, and to see what being surrounded by colour can unlock for you. Thursday 20th November, only a few spots left. If you’d love to spend the day with me and leave with the gift of confidence in your own style, write the word RETREAT in the comments and I’ll send you the link.
October is always a special one for me. My birthda October is always a special one for me.

There’s something really satisfying about a quic There’s something really satisfying about a quick kitchen makeover. Probably one of the most expensive and stressful rooms to design, I love it when you can make a big impact, without having to call the builders in. When my Dad and step Mum moved into their new place, the kitchen was all very… beige. Perfectly good quality, just not to their taste. They craved more colour and personality to infuse their new home with more joy. Nothing that a roll (or eight in this case) of my @harlequinfw Woodland Floral wallpaper, some paint, and a whole lot of DIY spirit couldn’t rescue. Dad hung the wallpaper himself, and to match in the ceiling and woodwork painted it in White Tie by Farrow & Ball which is the closest match we found to the back ground of the wallpaper. We finished it off with a toughened glass splashback to the hob and sink areas, made to order by a local glazier, and added but a few colourful accessories. The transformation is major. It’s fresh, it’s joyful, it’s bold and just FULL of personality… and it proves, once again, that wallpaper in kitchens? Totally allowed. Would you be brave enough to go all in like Dad did? If you fancy having a browse, my full Harlequin collection is now live over on harlequin.design. Link’s in the bio! I’ll also be talking about this makeover and sharing my tips about using wallpaper in kitchens over on my new Substack ‘A Life In Colour’.
Some projects simply live in your heart forever, a Some projects simply live in your heart forever, and my collection with @harlequinfw is one of them. This reel takes you behind the scenes of our creative process. I walked into that studio with 25 years of design experience and still learnt so much; from the design studio where patterns are created by hand, to the colour alchemy of the print rooms (where inks are mixed by eye). The creative artistry and manufacturing craftsmanship was inspiring. A real pinch me moment was witnessing the final collection being showcased in my home. Now the whole maximalist collection is shining on Harlequin’s beautiful new website and I could not be prouder. I hope the collection inspires you to embrace colour and mix pattern to create a maximalist home that feels completely you. And to chase your career goals, because they might just come true!

Ready to step inside my world of colour?! I’m a Ready to step inside my world of colour?! I’m absolutely thrilled to open the doors to my home for the last time this year for something truly special… I like to think of it as the ultimate colour lover’s day out! A full, joy-packed day that will reignite your creative spark, feed your soul, and reconnect you with the powerful magic of colour. Decorating a home is all about surrounding yourself in colours that lift you, support you, restore you. And there’s not one universal rule. You need to discover your own personal palette, those shades that make your heart sing and your home come alive. What I love about this experience is I’m able to personally guide you, hands-on, through how to use colour to transform your space and your mood.  This is a really up close and personal experience. You’ll get a full tour of my home, meet Lucy the dog, say hi to Arthur when he comes in from school and no doubt my Mum will pop in for a cup of tea. I invite my best friend Beth to cook us a delicious and nurturing lunch and by the end of the day we all feel like lifelong friends. It’s a special opportunity to honour your love of colour and design with beautiful like-minded souls, and head home feeling inspired, confident, and brimming with fresh ideas. Would you like to join us? Discover Your True Colours Thursday 20th November 2025 A full-day retreat at my home near Lewes, East Sussex Maximum of 8 places available (and half have already sold) Includes all materials, refreshments, and a fabulous sit-down lunch. Tickets: £895 per person It’s personal, joyful, and completely full of love. Comment the word RETREAT below and I’ll send you the link to grab your spot!
