Creating my dream kitchen was a life long ambition

Creating my dream kitchen was a life long ambition of mine and I went all out celebrating my personal
love of maximalism. By embracing bold colour and pattern, and then filling it with art and objects brought my unique personality to it. Here are a few things I found work

- embrace colour on cabinets as this is where you can a achieve the most impact
- A beautiful wallpaper adds pattern but also anchors the colour palette
- Don’t be afraid to add more pattern across worktops, curtains and rugs
- Open shelving is the perfect place to display art and objects that reflects your style.
- Decorative lighting including lamps, wall lights and pedants add atmosphere and more decoration, pattern and colour so don’t just rely on ceiling spot lights.

My NEW self-paced online course ‘How to create Maximalist interiors’ takes you through my design process, from creating your own unique vision to sourcing all the elements that will make your home sing with joy.
