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.

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!

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.

An exclusive interview with the WINNER of @interi An  exclusive interview with the WINNER of @interiordesignmasters !

The fabulously talented @liagoldinteriors joins me to share her highlights from the show, her high speed creative process and the deep friendships she made on the show. 

Look out for her new collection  with @nexthome which drops tomorrow and stay tuned for her podcast launching next month with @jonniknightdesign called ‘Until design do we part’

And let’s all like round here for an Italian supper club full of her maximalist colour and flair! 

Congratulations Lia. Can’t wait to see what you do next x
It’s the FINAL of @interiordesignmasters tonight 8 It’s the FINAL of @interiordesignmasters tonight 8pm and I’ve been having some fascinating conversations lately about the role the show plays in the world of interior design.

I passionately believe that great design should be for everyone. Whether you’re building a career in interiors, decorating your own home, styling content, designing products or simply transforming a room you love, creativity belongs to all of us.

The world of interiors is so much bigger than the traditional design studio which is why I’m not a fan of gatekeeping. I want more people to discover the confidence, joy and magic that comes from creating beautiful spaces, and TV while it always aims to entertain first, has the power to inspire millions to get involved.

I have nothing but admiration for the contestants who put themselves out there on one of the biggest platforms in British television. To share their creativity, ideas and vision and put themselves up for being judged, not just by the judges but everyone sat on their sofas at home takes real courage.

Tonight, one designer will be crowned the winner. But in many ways, the most exciting part starts now. Interior Design Masters has launched many successful careers in interior design, styling, content creation,  product design and television, and I can’t wait to see what these finalists go on to achieve.

I’m incredibly proud to play a small part in this journey.

Tune in tonight on BBC One and iPlayer, then join me here tomorrow at 7pm LIVE when I’ll be interviewing the winner!

So tell me… who’s your money on? @liagoldinteriors and @shaginterior will be joined by @jonniknightdesign and @bensmithinteriors  which i’m so beyond excited to see return! Wishing  them the best of luck!
The WOW!house at @designcentrech is THE date in ev The WOW!house at @designcentrech is THE date in every designer’s diary. Think of it as the interior design Olympics where the biggest names and most prestigious brands come together for some seriously competitive room dressing.

Maximalism was out in full force, with gloriously colour-drenched, pattern-layered, personality-packed interiors around every corner. Think upholstered silk walls, tassels the size of a small child, and enough backlighting to rival Mariah Carey’s dressing room.

Another consistent theme was designs that felt in deep conversation with heritage and culture while making something that felt completely alive and of the moment.

I came home absolutely bursting with inspiration and a renewed appreciation for the transformative power of great design. It’s open until 2 July, so if you’re in London, do yourself a favour and go - soak it all up. Your creative batteries will thank you and a portion of every ticket goes to United in Design, which is doing brilliant work opening up the industry to underrepresented talent.
This week on @InteriorDesignMasters with @chattyma This week on @InteriorDesignMasters with @chattyman, our designers took on the challenge of transforming bland corporate hospitality boxes at Brighton’s Amex Stadium into spaces worthy of Premier League passion.

Local legend @officialfatboyslim outlined the brief was all about celebrating football fandom while bringing a sense of luxury, style and occasion to the experience. Not an easy balance to strike but @liagoldinteriors @shaginterior @emmely  gave it their all 🙌

From bold colour palettes and clever layouts to unexpected design details, each designer approached the challenge in their own unique way. I’m decoding the colour schemes and highlighting the ideas I think were particularly clever.

But the best part of the show? We never all agree! Did you agree with the judges’ decisions this week? Let me know in the comments below…

And if you missed the show you can catch up on @bbciplayer. And next week the FINAL and I’m thrilled to announce I will be interviewing the winner live HERE on Instagram the day after the show. ⭐️

I love nothing more than entertaining at home and I love nothing more than entertaining at home and this weekend we were blessed with the most gorgeous weather to celebrate my brilliant dad’s 81st birthday. My brother cooked the most glorious food, and I brought the colour - naturally! - with the table laying. I am obsessed with tablescaping and for this one I layered floral motifs throughout, mixing my Dahlia Bunch fabric from @harlequinfw with my classic Willow Bow china that only comes out for special occasions, armfuls of flowers from the supermarket and my Moroccan cups and jugs and my napkins from @mollymahonblockprinting It was so easy to put together and I love it because I think it’s the colour that creates the visual feast, while my brother brought all the yummy food.
