Introducing my Autumn/Winter Collection with Dunelm

I’m beyond thrilled to share my brand new Autumn/Winter homewares collection with Dunelm and it’s another Maximalist masterpiece! While the summer collection focused on plenty of bright, joyful colours, this season I wanted to dial up the warmth, the richness, and the sense of cosiness that autumn naturally invites. Think deep forest greens and burgundy reds, layered over my signature vibrant cobalt blue, pink and yellows that launched the collection earlier this year. Don’t think of it as throwing out your summer palette… it’s building on it. Call it a seasonal update rather than a total overhaul and the result is a collection that feels abundant, layered, and perfectly in tune with this time of year.

Whimsical Jacobean table cloth, from £45. Dinner plate, £8. Napkin with wave edge (pack of 4), £12. Striped napkin ring (pack of 2), £6. All Sophie Robinson x Dunelm.

Introducing tableware

One of the most exciting new additions is the limited edition tableware range and I can’t tell you how much joy this brings me! It was a real career high to design my first ceramics collection, and I really unleashed my colour loving creativity with this one. I’m literally obsessed with collecting ceramics and have quite an eclectic collection and it was this passion I drew on to create the designs. The result was a collection that includes plates, bowls, jugs, cake stands and platters, all designed with playful wiggles, striking harlequin motifs and painterly florals. They come in four colour ways, so you can either stick to a tonal look, like all blues,  for classic sophistication or go bold by mixing and matching for a more eclectic, maximalist vibe. I’ll be honest, these won’t hang around for long, so if you’ve got your eye on them, I’d recommend snapping them up while you can. They’re destined to become the heart of many joyful supper parties this season.

Amarinth Wiggle Dot Dining Chairs, £169. Napkin with wave edge (pack of 4), £12. Harlequin pattern cake stand, £22. Snug as a bug mug, £7. 8 light adjustable Chandelier, £279. All Sophie Robinson x Dunelm.

Textiles to treasure

Of course, no collection of mine would be complete without a generous serving of textiles. This time, I’ve gone all out on layering opportunities with new placemats, napkin rings, cushions and rugs. I’m especially smitten with the “Snug as a Bug” cushion as my continuing love affair with beetles makes another appearance! You’ll also find stripes, frills, and intricate embroidery that make these pieces as tactile as they are beautiful. These details give the collection a sense of craftsmanship and personality because for me it’s about creating pieces you’ll love to live with and cherish. I also think Autumn begs you to indulge in more tactile and luxurious fabrics so you can play with putting velvet next to wook and the flourish of a silk fringe trim brings it to life. We also introduce two new rugs to the collection this season, and I’m particularly loving the supersoft geometric berber for for that feeling of cosiness.

Bedroom Bliss

Over in the bedroom, I’ve introduced two new bedding sets that are perfect for layering up and clashing in true maximalist fashion. Florals, plains and geometrics combine to create beds that don’t just look inviting, they feel like little canvases of creativity. I encourage you to pile them on, embrace the contrasts, and discover how joyful a patterned bedscape can be. I think as we move into Autumn it’s a perfect time to update your bed and layer it in rich colour and layers of feel good fabrics, so while the bedlinen is a super soft 200 percale, you can layer it with the new velvet geo bedspread and some more sumptuous cushions from the collection. The Snug as Bug cushion is a real favourite of mine as it captures the mood perfectly.

A Feast for the Eyes

Altogether, this new collection feels like a feast for the senses; abundant colour, rich textures, playful details and above all, pieces that make your home sing with personality. I couldn’t be prouder of how it’s come together, and I can’t wait to see how you style it in your own spaces.

Tips for getting the autumn look

  1. Layer like a maximalist: Don’t stop at one cushion or one fabulous print. Combine stripes with florals, plains with patterns, to create depth and interest.
  2. Mix your tableware: Blend colourways and motifs for a look that feels collected over time rather than matchy-matchy. It’s a great way to express individuality.
  3. Anchor with warmth: Introduce richer colours like burgundy and forest green as your autumn anchors, then add layers of feel-good textures like velvet and wool and add details like frills and fringing.
  4. Layer your lighting: As the nights draw in, it’s time to add warm pools of light in dark corners. Lamps, walls sconces and candles all add a magical luminescence.

All of these items are available to buy online now, just search my name, and they will all come up! And please do share your purchases on socials as I love to see them in your homes!

One of the questions I’m asked more than any other One of the questions I’m asked more than any other is, “How do you choose the right paint colour?” My answer is always the same… please don’t rely on those tiny paint cards! They’re simply too small to judge a colour properly.

For my mum’s annexe makeover, we started with the inspiration, not the paint chart. She wanted to bring the magic of her garden indoors, so green was an obvious choice. I suggested introducing pink too because it’s one of my favourite colour combinations and always feels fresh and uplifting.

Once we’d shortlisted a few shades, we ordered tester pots and painted large A3 swatches. Trust me, this one simple trick will save you a lot of expensive decorating mistakes. Tape the samples to the wall, move them around the room and compare them together in different light before making your final decision.

We also used a beautiful painting by @sophieabbottartist to refine the palette. I love building colour schemes from artwork because the colours have already been thoughtfully brought together.

The final colours? Slaked Lime, Pea Green and Hellebore by @littlegreenepaintcompany 

Now it’s time to get the paint on the walls… come back soon to see the transformation.

A beautiful reminder that inspiration often comes from balancing creativity with rest.

After a few very busy weeks and all of this unbeli After a few very busy weeks and all of this unbelievably hot weather, I need to remember sometimes to simply be more Lucy. 

Her Sundays are like nothing else. Curling up on my colourful cushions, finding the cosiest spots and always inserting herself into any task that requires no dog. Never underestimate the power of doing nothing and focusing on the things that fill your cup!
Marrakech is one of my greatest creative inspirati Marrakech is one of my greatest creative inspirations and one of the best places in the world to shop if you love colour, craft and beautiful things that tell a story. I’ve been visiting for years, leading retreats and filling embarrassingly large amounts of luggage, and I still come home buzzing every single time.

This city has never subscribed to the idea that less is more. It is pure, glorious, unapologetic abundance and if you are a maximalist at heart it will feel like coming home.

Swipe for my little black book of favourite shops, rug dealers, ceramicists, fragrance makers spontaneous finds - the places I return to again and again and recommend to everyone who asks.

And yes - bring an extra suitcase and fill it with things that just make you smile!! You will not regret it.

Comment ‘Maximalism’ and I’ll send you my recent blog post with web links and addresses. happy shopping!

On the longest day of the year, I gathered twelve On the longest day of the year, I gathered twelve wonderful women beneath the shade of our willow tree to celebrate the Summer Solstice.

We were guided through a beautiful cacao ceremony by @alexadecastilho , created the most joyful flower crowns with @aliceeden , and spent the afternoon soaking up the golden sunshine, connection and conversation.

The Summer Solstice is a moment to honour the light, pause, reflect and give thanks for all that is flourishing in our lives. As I looked around at these incredible women, surrounded by nature and laughter, I felt such deep gratitude.
I feel very blessed to be able to open my home in this way and create space for creativity, friendship and celebration.
Here’s to sunshine, sisterhood and the simple joy of being together. ✨☀️🌿
Marrakech has completely stolen my heart... There Marrakech has completely stolen my heart...

There really is nowhere else quite like it. The colour, the creativity, the beautiful chaos of the souks, and the endless treasure hunting. I’ve been visiting for years and I never come home empty-handed. My suitcase is usually bursting with ceramics, textiles, scents and slippers and little trinkets that find their way into my home and wardrobe.

What I love most is the Moroccan approach to decorating. Homes feel collected rather than curated, layered with handmade pieces, vintage finds and bold design choices that tell a unique story. It’s maximalism at its most artful and soulful, rich in colour, craftsmanship and personality.

I’ve pulled together this edit of the things I always bring home, along with some of my favourite makers, ateliers and artisan shops that I return to time and time again.

A highlight of my year is when I get to share it all with a wonderful group of colour-loving creatives on my Moroccan Interiors & Styling Retreat at the glorious @elfennmarrakech . Think inspiring workshops, artisan visits, medina adventures, delicious food and the kind of conversations that leave you buzzing with ideas. And their boutique is a must see shopping destination for the best in contemporary Moroccan design.

AD It’s not too late!!! My exclusive collaboration AD It’s not too late!!! My exclusive collaboration with @dunelmuk is coming to an end but it’s not too late to snap up some of my uniquely designed pieces online or in store. This has without doubt been quite the career highlight, sharing my love of bold colour, unapologetic pattern and more-is-more aesthetic with this leading UK high street retailer to bring you my maximalist tool kit. So if you’ve had your eye on anything within my exclusive collection this is my reminder to snap it up now, while stocks last. 

Please let me know what have been your favourite pieces from this collection. I love to learn how they have been used in your own home. 

And take a little comfort, I’ve got plenty more exciting product launches planned this year and beyond so watch this space!
The WOW!house at dcch is one of my favourite event The WOW!house at dcch is one of my favourite events in the interiors calendar. Think of it as the design Olympics, where the industry’s biggest names are given free rein to dream big, push creative boundaries and showcase the very best in craftsmanship.

This is where you’ll find extraordinary fabrics,  wallcoverings, breathtaking joinery, sculptural lighting and decorative details that make your heart skip a beat. Budget takes a back seat and unbridled creative ambition takes the wheel.

What I loved most this year was the sheer diversity of design. From full-fat maximalism to serene minimalism, every room had its own unique story to tell. Yet a common thread emerged: retreat, cocooning and comfort. Rich deep colours, layered super soft textures and immersive spaces designed to help us slow down and escape the noise of modern life.

Here are a few of my favourites. The exhibition runs until the end of the month and I can highly recommend a visit. I never wanted to leave.
