Mood Board | Designing An Eclectic Family Media Room

I’m sharing an example of an Interior Design Room Scheme today, in this case an eclectic media room designed for the whole family. Room Schemes give you a full room design, with all the tools you need to execute that design yourself. You’ll get a full list of links to products or instructions on where to buy, and you still benefit from access to trade discounts. But you manage the installation yourself, which can save a good chunk of money.…

Mood Board | Art Deco Meets Traditional English Living Room

Today I’m sharing a full design plan I put together for a remote client, who asked for a blend of traditional English and Art Deco styles for his living room design scheme.

The client loved the set design on the TV show Jeeves & Wooster, and wanted 1930s Art Deco-inspired touches throughout his living room. He wanted…

Mood Board | Design Plans for a Long Living/Dining Room

I’ve just been granted clearance to buy a fancy Chesterfield, and I want to nail down the design plans for my dining/living room quick in case the hubs changes his mind. It’s a multifunctional space, with a study area thrown in for good measure, and, as usual, I’m blending an eclectic mix of design styles. The living/dining room is long and narrow, which makes for a bit of a design challenge, especially with so much to fit in. We need…

Mood Board Collective | A Bright, Beachy Living Room

The Mood Board Collective is a monthly design “challenge,” where different interiors bloggers take the same inspiration piece and use it to create a room design for any space they want. This month, the starting point was a pretty print of a seagull painting, which I used to create a beachy living room design. I love the happy colour palette in the painting, and I decided to roll with it. I pulled bright pink, emerald green and yellows from the…
