Who’s home is beginning to feel far from fresh?!

Who’s home is beginning to feel far from fresh?! I’m working super hard finishing off my on line course so I can get it launched for you guys next week (🤩🤩🤩) and so the housework has, well, slipped! However I think it’s as important as ever in this period of ‘staying home’ that we don’t get slothful and keep a spic and span home. I am one to err on the side of slovenly but @michelleogundehin ‘s top tip for surviving lock down is to tidy, tidy, tidy! And if anyone’s in need of some meditative exercise then hoovering, dusting and changing the beds couldn’t be better! Forget @thebodycoach , just whip out a mop and bucket! Michelle goes into mention that cleaning your home could be the path to happiness so we shouldn’t consider it a groan but instead think of how cleaning and tidying our home connects us to what we love about it. And who doesn’t love a tidy house, it equals a tidy mind! Okay, I’ll add it to my tomorrows to do list! Or maybe make a cup of tea and watch @mrshinchhome do it! Let me know how you get on x.

Drastic times call for drastic measures! How are w

One of the ways you can make your home feel fresh

One of the ways you can make your home feel fresh is to have a re-style. Put simply, have a little rearrange. Move a few items around and have a switch about. I’ve just done an edit of my shelves and flipped the cushions. Putting aside books I no longer reference and thinning out the ornaments has made such a difference . The collection of family photos stay are non negotiable but I’ve realised I could do with getting some new ones printed. Making your home feel fresh and fabulous doesn’t always have to cost lots of money. Sometimes it’s just about getting a fresh perspective and letting a few things go. I’m a natural hoarder so I need to do this a little more often! How you getting on looking at the same four walls. 📷 @timyoungphotographer .

How are we all?! This is the smallest room in my home, the downstairs loo but is the room we are spending lots of time in due to plenty of hand washing! The World Health Organisation say that regular hand washing with soap is one of the best ways to control the spread of corona so soap up folks! #safehands .

Sheer joy in a bunch of spring flowers! If I was a bouquet I’d be this! 🌸 the way certain colours can just lift your mood is so worth tapping into and this is my palette right here, bold and vibrant and uplifting. Take a moment to look at something you love that lifts your mood and indulge in a simple pleasure. These were a gift from our decorator Luke which makes them feel extra special 💜🧡❤️💚💙 .

How are you all doing? So much to adjust to in such a short space of time. 🙃 This time last week @mad_about_the_house and I were in London recording the podcast and this week looks very different. Anxiety running high as we all try and figure out what our day to day life will look like. Swipe for the next slide to discover why Kate and I will be doing everything we can to maintain a little bit of normal and have worked out a way to keep the podcast going with us #workingfromhome. We are so touched by everything you are all doing and your words of encouragement for us to keep talking about cushions and paint. So today’s house tour on the podcast is especially poignant as it may be the last one for while! (House tours not podcasts)! We had a wonderful morning with the queen of print @orlakiely and discovered how she has created her timeless yet fashionable London home using her flair for colour, print and one of the best collections of flea market mid century modern furniture I’ve ever seen! Loads more pictures of Orla’s beautiful home on the blog today. And I hope it brings some much needed respite not just for you but our NHS listeners at this very turbulent time. Sending you all love. Special thanks to @toppstiles for sponsoring the show and @katetaylorldn for producing this little pearl. Keep safe and wash your hands! ✋.

It’s here! The chintz sofa of dreams! Going for

It’s here! The chintz sofa of dreams! Going for such a bold pattern on a sofa has to be the ultimate commitment, but I was ready to make it. I’d dated the swatch, magnolia by @gpjbaker for a long time, hanging out on the pinboard in my office, and never tired of it. And I’m a fickle fabric lover so this was a sign that it was true love. I chose a classic sofa shape, the Lady May from @sofaworkshop which fulfils the all-important comfort quota too, and you can cover their sofas in pretty much any fabric you wish. A dream! This floral print is the lynchpin for the rest of the room scheme. I’m now on the hunt for a new rug ( I borrowed this one off my mum for this shot! ) and will refresh the footstool and scatters with some new covers. Finding a hero fabric you love is a great way to cement a scheme, using the colour palette within the print to match to other furnishings. Because I love to clash pattern I will be pulling out other florals, stripes, geometrics and plains from this palette. The trick is to play with scale. I love this way if decorating as you can keep adding and taking away and easily switching up the look. Far from seeing a patterned sofa as a limitation I think it’s going to give me loads of opportunities to be playful and creative. And that’s what great interior design is all about. .

Ta-da! So all the all-white office has been transformed into a place of sheer joy and inspiration fulfilling my colour love quota! I’ve had so much love for this transformation over on my DM’s I’ve struggled to reply to you all! And so many of you asking me what I was thinking even having an all white office in the first place. 🤪 Quite. My whole house is a riot of colour and pattern and I thought just one room in all-white would be a much needed pause. A blank canvas if you like in order to help me feel creative. But the opposite occurred!Understanding what style and colour palette you really love is only the start of it. Next you have to hold your nerve and have the conviction to follow through. I’ve never ever regreted just going for it! I’m looking forward to sharing with you how this room is going to come together with window treatments, rugs, furniture and accessories. Wallpaper is just the first step but wow how this Artemis wallpaper from @houseofhackney has transformed the space in an instant. You can see the before and after on my stories. .
