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…..

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.
