AD Still smiling after revealing my latest colourf AD Still smiling after revealing my latest colourful homewares collection with @Dunelmuk. Bringing a collection like this to life takes months of dreaming, designing and attention to detail, so sharing it with everyone felt incredibly special. Expect joyful colour, layered pattern and all the maximalist touches you know I love. The whole collection is now available to shop in store, online and on the Dunelm app. I could not be prouder. 💛
January. A grateful round up. Rolling into 2026 an January. A grateful round up. Rolling into 2026 and chasing colour in all its forms, from piercing blue winter suns to raspberry red Moroccan sunrises. I knew I’d be ready for you, 2026. And we have started beautifully. 1. A quiet promise to myself to make 2026 as colourful as possible 2. New Year’s Eve… exactly as it began 3. And then how it went. A proper sweaty dance at @alphabetbrighton 4. Hosting a bonfire at home with friends to burn away 2025. @jothornephotography 5. Watching embers glow beneath a full moon. Emotional in the best way 6. Snow, low sun and the most perfect winter palette 7. Still walking it out! Bracing the cold with @sophieabbottartist @edwinaboase 8. A much needed colour hit, hosting my interiors retreat with @elfennmarrakech 9. Me and partner in crime @em_lappin at @lallamarrakech 10. The joyful jolt of colour only the Marrakech souks can deliver 11. Discovering the new @ritaalaoui_artist art installation at El Fenn 12. New moon meditation with the wonderful @alexadecastilho 13. Gently shaping a new vision for 2026 14. Harnessing that wild horse energy for my vision board webinar 15. Proud moments unveiling my latest collection to the press at @dunelmuk 16. Catch ups with my lovely TV chums @hardcastletowers @francescarowanplowden @jackkinsey @ritamillat 17. Feeling genuinely excited about this collection and all the squeals it is delivering 18. Finally ticking off my 360 health scan at @nekohealth 19. Becoming mildly obsessed with pastel, colour drenched interiors 20. It looks busy, but January has mostly been this. Rest. Reflection. Happy wintering.
Not going to lie, this might be one of my proudest Not going to lie, this might be one of my proudest makeovers ever… My Dad and Mary’s modern French villa was all beige tiles, white walls and zero personality. So I did what I do best: turned it into a technicolour dreamscape inspired by the countryside views outside those gorgeous bifold doors. Inspired by early autumn leaves, emerald green fields, and piercing blue skies we set about making the inside of their home feel as joyful as the outside … now imagine all that bottled up into wallpaper, fabrics, cushions and colour-drenched furniture. If you’ve ever thought bold colour overwhelming or that pattern was too much for open-plan spaces… this one’s for you. Because colour and pattern sings in nature, and it can work just as well in your home decor. All wallpapers, rug and cushion fabrics are from my collection with @harlequinfw. Painting by @sophieabbottartist Full sourcing list, extra styling tips and a deeper dive into the design story are up now on A Life In Colour: head to my Substack via the link in bio to read more!
End of January check-in… and yes, the struggle to End of January check-in… and yes, the struggle to stay joyful is very real right now. Dark mornings, grey skies, energy running low. That’s exactly why our homes matter so much at this time of year. They are our sanctuary. The place that should lift your mood, calm your nervous system and make you feel held when the outside world feels a bit, how can I put this...relentless. And this isn’t just a feeling or a design philosophy. It’s backed up by science. Research shows that colour, light, beauty and nature in our homes have a direct impact on mood, wellbeing and happiness. Small, intentional changes really can shift how you feel day to day. I’d love to know… what brings you the most joy in your home right now? A colour, a room, a plant, a view, a ritual? Share it in the comments 💛 And if you’re ready to go deeper, my big January Sale ends this week. If you want to truly understand colour psychology and learn how to curate a home that feels joyful, confident and completely you, comment ULTIMATE and I’ll send you the link to my online design school and your opportunity to make the biggest saving of the year.
These are the ingredients to making your home feel These are the ingredients to making your home feel as good as it looks. • Confident colour that creates the mood • Beautiful pattern that delights the eye • Layered texture that brings it all alive • Personality in every corner, so it feels like home Magic happens when you stop playing it safe and start designing a home that truly reflects you. A home that feels joyful, expressive and alive. But designing a home can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you combine colours without it feeling chaotic? How do you clash patterns so it looks considered? How to express your unique personality without merely copying other people’s style? That is exactly why I created my online design school. After more than 25 years as an interior designer, I have distilled my design process into clear, easy-to-follow courses that take you step by step through combining colours, balancing patterns and adding texture, so you can decorate with confidence and creativity. And right now, my January Sale is on. You can save a huge 60% on my transformational courses, designed to completely change how you approach your home and how it makes you feel. If you are ready to embrace your creativity and deepen your passion for interior design comment ULTIMATE and I will send you all the details.
Think Maximalism is ‘too much’, too messy, or only Think Maximalism is ‘too much’, too messy, or only for other people? I’m here to tell you: maximalism isn’t chaotic. It’s just misunderstood. Once you understand how colour and pattern work together, decorating like a maximalist stops feeling intimidating and starts feeling instinctive. Your home starts feeling like you. If you want to design your home with confidence, my Ultimate Interiors Bundle is exactly what you need. It includes three self-paced online courses that take you inside my design process, teaching you how to use colour and pattern so you can make bold choices that actually work, again and again. Right now, the Ultimate Interiors Bundle is a massive 60% off. Buy now, enjoy the saving, and start whenever you are ready to create a home that is completely yours.

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.
