Colin and Jane’s project was a dream come true for me and I was so on their page; combing Janes love of saturated brights (number one fan right here) and Colins love of Victorian period architecture. To me this is the most exciting thing about interior design, is when you can conjure up something completely unique and bespoke, based on your personal tastes, style and life’s experiences. We all have very personal relationships with colour and design, and your home is the perfect place to express that.

If you would like to learn how to express your unique sense of style, and also make it all hang together, then do check out my online interior design school, where I share with you the process on how to create your own dream makeover. But for now read on while I share how we created this extraordinary look for Colin and Jane.
