Before and after ➡️ proof that your landing deserves the same love as every other room.
Why do we ignore landings like they’re just a corridor to somewhere better?
This one began as a gloomy no-man’s-land – dull, beige and barely noticeable.
Now? It’s a total transformation. Colourful, cohesive, and full of character – a true extension of the entrance hall below.
My favourite colour - the bold and beautiful “Lazuli” by @zoffanyfw carries up from the hallway, tying the whole space together and making the journey between floors a joy 💙

Lesson learned: your landing should be treated as a space in it’s own right.

Let’s talk about lighting and why relying on cei

Let’s talk about lighting and why relying on ceiling lights alone is one of the quickest ways to kill the atmosphere in a room.
Yes, overhead lights are practical. But all that bright, undirected light flooding the space? It does nothing for creating mood or making a room feel cosy and inviting.
Instead, you want to layer your lighting, creating little pools of light with lamps dotted around the room. I’ve got them everywhere... on the kitchen counter, by the bed, on the desk, next to the sofa, even in the hallway.

They’re not just practical as they become part of the decoration. Lamps are a brilliant way to add colour, shape and pattern to a space, especially if, like me, you love a bit of maximalism.
And here’s my best tip if you’re renovating. Consider wiring your lamps into a 5 amp circuit so they all switch on and off at the wall. No scrabbling around behind sofas for plug switches! But if that’s not an option, smart bulbs are a brilliant alternative — giving you control over brightness and even colour temperature at the touch of a button.

Layered lighting makes all the difference — it’s what takes a room from looking functional to feeling like home.

Want to know my secret to confident fail-safe room

Want to know my secret to confident fail-safe room schemes? Before you dive down a Pinterest rabbit hole or start pouring over paint swatches, PAUSE and follow my tried and tested design roadmap.

It all starts with the mood.

By asking yourself, “How do I want this room to feel?” I guarantee you will save time, energy, and money – with no more impulse buys or fear that the overall look won’t feel right once it all comes together.
Once you’ve nailed your vibe, decisions become easier and more coherent, because now you’ve got a filter through which every choice must pass.

In my latest blog, I walk you through:
– Why the 5-word method is the anchor that will keep your design on track
– How to use moodboards with intention (to cut the overwhelm!)
– And why even the dreamiest Pinterest room scheme might not work in real life

I want you to get clear on your interior direction, so you can enjoy the creative process and make better and bolder design choices. I’ve created a free resource to help get you started – Create Your Brief, and it’s the exact process I use to kick off any design project.

Back in January, I held my Vision Board Masterclas

Back in January, I held my Vision Board Masterclass and said: this is not about setting goals or putting pressure on ourselves at this time of year, but creating clarity—so when spring energy comes, we are ready. Well… I am ready.
Launching my Dunelm collection and opening the doors to my At-Home Masterclasses have been the highlight of 2025 so far—and it’s only April!
This is why I love to manifest. Manifesting a life you never even dreamed of - because it really works. Dreams can come true.

Follow your passion. Remain grateful. And keep identifying where you want your life to go.
There’s so much more to come… and I’m just getting started ✨

How I take my maximalist style outside... Don’

How I take my maximalist style outside...

Don’t be afraid to clash, contrast, and get creative because maximalism is about celebrating the things you love, and the more, the merrier! With sunnier days fast approaching, I love to turn my outdoor space into a joyful pattern-packed extension of my home.

Here are my tips on getting it right:

Be prepared to mix and match patterns. Maximalism abhors the overly matchy or coordinated sets and instead layers the look with textiles, crockery and glassware.

Maximalism is all about making a bold statement, so go for something large in scale like a fabulous patterned parasol, preferably fringed!

Pile on the blooms along the entire length of the table. I grab different sized vases and drinking tumblers so the flowers have plenty of height and volume.

To create an indoors- outside vibe, I like my garden furniture to look stylish. Invest in beautiful rattan dining chairs or cover simple benches in highly patterned cushions.

A garden scene truly comes alive at dusk, so layer on the lighting from LED lanterns to plenty of flickering candle light. The trick is to position high and low and everywhere in between!

This DIY trick saved me thousands £££… Painti

This DIY trick saved me thousands £££… Painting my UPVC plastic windows!
When we bought our house, the first thing I had to address were the hideous bright white UPVC windows. After getting a quote back in 2019 for a whopping £16K to replace them for
traditional timber, it was time to think again.

And honestly? It was the BEST decision I made. Not only have I saved thousands of pounds
off our renovation budget but also prevented perfectly functional windows from ending up in landfill.
What you need is an all-surface primer, which you can apply after simply wiping down and
cleaning the window frames thoroughly. No other prep required! Best bit is you can then can go wild with your choice of colour, picking an acrylic eggshell to go on top. It’s
worth noting that by painting your UPVC windows you may discredit any warranty.
However, four years later the exterior windows look as good as the day we painted them,
(which is more than can be said for timber windows that need repainting around every 3-4
years.) Because we hand brushed rather than spray painted them, you can’t even notice
that they are made of plastic. Don’t you think they look amazing!?

Here’s what I used:

INTERIOR:
