At last- My new TV show- Dream Home makeovers is here!

AlunCallenderPhoto SophieRobinson 029 0227

It’s here! Its a bit of a pinch me moment but I’ve got my own TV show. All the squeals and a dream come true. The beautiful people at Channel 5 reached out last year and invited me to work on a pioneering new design show. They wanted big reveals, mouthwatering interiors, plenty of tips and insights and not a builders sledge hammer in sight. Like I say- the dream!

The title for the show came right at the last minute, but I think it sums up perfectly what we are aiming to do with this programme. The makeovers are big transformations and our aim  is to show how wonderfully eclectic, diverse and often eccentric our  interior spaces can be. Walk down ant British street and behind each closed door will be a very different room design. I have always loved that about interiors- that fact that everyone has their own response to colour, style and pattern.  What better place to share our sense of style and identity than within our most intimate spaces.

 

So over the next six weeks you will see me travel up and down the country into many different types of homes, helping people reinvent, reinvigorate and indeed completely transform their spaces. The general theme is that they typically start off beige and boring end up colourful and exceptional. All our home owners used their hard earned savings to complete the projects so they were 100% invested in every single decision. The pressure was on me to get it right for them, but also to push them just outside of their comfort zone. The results are spellbinding. I cannot wait for you to see it and let me know what you think! Book it in Wednesdays, Channel 5 at 7pm, also available to catch up on My5. I will be posting photographs and a list of suppliers for each episode here on the blog so you can learn how I did the design in more depth and if you saw anything you liked, you’ll find the weblink here too.

 

Meanwhile here is a tease…..

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

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.

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.
