Do Capsule Wardrobes Actually Work?

Do Capsule Wardrobes Actually Work?

Keeping a thoughtfully curated wardrobe makes it much easier to keep your interior spaces organised and beautiful. I hopped on the capsule wardrobe trend two years ago. It took a few seasons to curate my clothing collection to the point where it might be considered a true capsule wardrobe, and you can check it out further down. But now that I’ve nailed it down, I thought I’d talk about how successful it’s been. What is a Capsule Wardrobe? In case…

Design Inspo | A Neutral Scandinavian Apartment

Design Inspo | A Neutral Scandinavian Apartment

This Scandinavian apartment caught my eye recently. It’s light and bright and calm. I discovered it on a real estate listing from Stockholm, Sweden. Proof that a Chesterfield can work with almost any design style! There’s such a good mix in here. Classic furniture and details like the sofa in the living room or the subway tile in the kitchen, sitting pretty next to modern Scandinavian pieces and a decent dose of Ikea. The three bedrooms are perfectly simple, letting…

My Go-To Source for Affordable Custom Blinds | Mood Board | Boy’s Room

I gave my son’s room a mini update not long ago. I added a mid-century dresser, moved his keyboard in, and switched the furniture around, but it still wasn’t completely finished. Today, I’m sharing my go-to source for affordable custom blinds, and talking about the impact the right window treatments can have in interior design. There were a few niggly issues in this room that needed addressing. The rug was too small, the bedside cabinet had seen better days, and the curtains…

Design Inspo | Sweetpea & Willow

I was invited to visit Sweetpea & Willow‘s Isleworth showroom a couple of weeks ago. It’s packed with lovely things, and heavy on the glam. There was a lot to like, including stunning floral arrangements by Stems and Bows. This event was where I spotted a bed wwoon-worthy enough to inspire a whole mood board. Look at those legs! And I always love textured bedding. It wasn’t the only gorgeous bed there. Sweetpea & Willow do seating just as fabulous…

Mood Board | An Industrial Art Deco Bedroom Design

Mood Board | An Industrial Art Deco Bedroom Design

Today’s bedroom design combines art deco lines with industrial features, and it all started with the bed. It’s definitely a bit more glam than I tend to go for, but the Art Deco lines on the headboard are killer, and the Scandi-style feet with their little brass ends are just so pretty. Rather than go all-out luxe, I paired the glamourous bed with a few industrial touches, because that’s my jam. And set it all in a loft room, because…

Summer Home Tour

Summer Home Tour

Today I’m taking you on a summer tour of my home. I live in a rented three-bed terrace in Mortlake, South West London. I design interiors in an eclectic mix of styles, but have focused on a combination of global, mid-century and industrial design features in this 90s-built house. The Dining Area The dining area is at one end of a long living room, which is also my husband’s office. Because the room serves so many functions, I keep the styling…

Design Inspo | The Global Trend

Design Inspo | The Global Trend

I’ve always been inspired by global design, and I am particularly drawn to the geometric African and South American-inspired prints that are everywhere right now. I recently chatted about Greenery and ’80s-Inspired Geometry, after I covered the top design trends of 2017 in this post. Today, global design takes the stage. Stateside, mudcloth, shibori and hmong are definitely having a moment, as in Erin‘s gorgeous home. Over here, the global influence is focused more on bolder geometrics and lots of colour.…
