After a long summer holiday we are thrilled to announce that The Great Indoors Podcast returns today and we are bouncing back into your ears after a well earned break!
In today’s episode we discuss how our travels can inspire our interior designs while we look to new horizons for fresh ideas . Be it new colour palettes, art and Design styles, architecture, food or flowers, we discuss how we are influenced by far flung places. And in the true style of the podcast our travel tastes couldn’t be more different! Kate holidays in Turin, Italy this summer while Sophie heaved a long haul trip to Bali, with stops at Singapore and the Indonesian Gili isles. It’s good to be back though and back in your ears so tune in and subscribe, wherever you listen to your podcasts.

A special thank you to @naturalmatuk for supporting the new series! We love their sustainable mission and super comfortable beds. You can visit their stores, a little closer to home in Knutsford, Chiswick, Devon, or the Cotswolds, to ensure you find the perfect mattress for the best nights sleep.

Inside Kate’s Fabulous New Home in Italy! 💚

Any avid listener of my podcast, The Great Indoors, with my dear friend Kate @mad_about_the_house will be familiar with the journey she’s shared about fulfilling her 30-year dream of buying a house in Italy. Nestled in the wine-rich Piemonte region near Turin, the villa is a stunning embodiment of Kate’s impeccable style. Now that it’s complete, we can all marvel at the breathtaking result – and trust me, it’s absolutely beautiful!

Head over to my Blog to take a tour, and find out how you can visit the house yourself! 🇮🇹

Want to know how I turned my tired, tatty conservatory into my new favourite room? SWIPE ▶️ for the ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots! 💚💛💗

After shelving our extension ideas, I knew I had to make the conservatory work. The transformation was a journey, but now, sitting in the tented shade of sail blinds looking at the garden in full bloom, it’s easy to see why it’s my favourite space.

Head to the Blog for the full reveal plus how I came up with the “sail-style” solution to all of my problems!

I’ve had back to back photo shoots this month and am lucky enough to have the lovely @jadefarmiloemua do my face. Thought I’d share a few of our favourite makeup products to get that summer glow even if you don’t need to be camera ready.

@charlottetilbury Hollywood flawless filter is a total glow booster for tired skin and feels light in the sun! I’m a colour 3 Fair.

@haeckels Vit E lip balm is my firm favourite to keep summer lips hydrated and moisturised.

@victoriabeckhambeauty Satin Kajal Liner in cocoa is a creamy smudge free liner to add definition when you want to go light on product.

@diorbeauty rosy glow blush in pink gives you that immediate summer cheek flush and lasting youthfulness all day long

@narsissist power matt lipstick in Indiscreet is a stayer of a lipstick! It boasts the power to last ten hours which is longer than I can talk on camera for, thankfully!

Silk shirt is from @pomlampsonlondon

#AD Maximalism is all about creating a little bit

#AD Maximalism is all about creating a little bit of magic by styling your home in unexpected ways. I’m very excited to see @Habitatuk turn 60 this year and am in love with so many pieces from the new collection. So, I’ve given my home a refresh with some striking new pieces from their iconic 60th Anniversary collection. Here’s how…

MATCH COLOUR
When you have an eclectic mix of patterns, styles and objects, sticking to a core colour palette will ensure it looks coherent. These Radica vases by contemporary ceramicist Silvia Kamodyova look stunning against my vintage floral wallpaper because even though the motifs are very different the colours tie it all together.

MIX OLD AND NEW
Part of the charm of maximalism is the idea your home accumulates more and more beautiful things over time! While I love traditional shaped furniture for its timeless appeal, a fresh new pattern gives an instant uplift like this Levi embroidered cushion by celebrated British textile designer Margo Selby. And you can never have too many cushions!

CLASH PATTERNS
Part of the joy of a Maximalist home is in collecting different patterns and enjoying them together. Never be afraid to make a bold statement and this iconic Klee ceramic table lamp makes an arresting focal point on my hall table, set against the busy floral patterns for contrast.

BLEND STYLES
Always avoid the overly matchy-matchy and instead embrace different styles from different eras to create a more original look. This Scottie oak dining chair in this sensational electric blue adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise traditional
room scheme, but again notice how the colour links to the wallpaper design, so it looks totally at home.

@habitatuk have always celebrated great British contemporary design so do check out the new collection because I think it’s very exciting! Could you refresh your home with something a little unexpected? Let me know what you think in the comments below…
