Turn your outdoor space into a multi-functional entertaining space and you’ll feel like you have an extra room all summer long. Whether you have a balcony, a roof terrace or a big garden, any outdoor space can be made party ready!
Whether you have a small balcony, a concrete roof terrace or acres of rambling garden; any outdoor space can become a stylish extension of your interior. An outdoor room is where all the best parties happen.
Green is the colour we associate with nature, energy and the Great Outdoors and so it’s the perfect colour choice to use in interior design to help you feel calm. Green is a quiet restful colour that can help you feel less anxious. Think of looking up at a canopy of trees, the expanse of green in a lovely park, a summer lawn and rolling fields; all relaxing spaces.
Spring is the perfect time to look at all the ways you can make your home a fresh and welcoming space. As soon as the clocks change at the end of March it’s time to get decluttering, cleaning and revamping your home ready for warmer days, longer evenings and holiday plans.
There are a few basic rules that will help you use patterns. When you mix patterns, you need the right combination of shape, colour, shade, and size to create a harmonic look in your living space.

Red is a colour that symbolises power, courage, passion, and strength – and it’s the latest colour to enjoy an interiors renaissance.

Ruffle some feathers with a stunning selection of feather inspired products. Feathers have a real outdoors connection and are nature inspired, which is why it has become a popular trend for 2022.
I love interiors magazines and blogs and I get lots of press releases from interiors brands, but the two other places I get lots of inspiration from are hotels and location houses. There ae a few agencies specialising in location houses and you can lose a few hours just browsing through the wonderful homes they have available to rent for photoshoots. Here are 10 more gorgeous rooms I think really work.
“Where do get your inspiration from”?, is one of the questions I get asked most often. Like many interior designers my answer is always, “from all over the place!”. However, there is one place where I get a lot of décor inspiration from and that’s is from location houses.
