I'm exposed to so much being an interior designer and want to move onto the next thing which is impossible and expensive.. I've been bored of my beige kitchen for some time ( I don't do usually do beige) and whilst I still love my Neptune Kitchen, it was looking a bit tired. It's done well over 5/6 years.. but a family of 4 who entertain a lot and a Pug who snots around the house, it's bound to show some wear and tear. I've been kicking about some colours for 12 months and finally decided on

Well today is Black Friday and whilst I'm not a fan of a completely black interior I do like to use it in my schemes. There has been a lot of attention on animal this season (how groundbreaking) it's autumn and everyone likes to get out their animal! I'm quite a fan of the zebra but have seen it used in some horrific interiors. I'm not a minimalist but when it comes to fur, hair or hyde… less is more.  Go bold and use a Wallpaper. My favourites are shown below: Please contact for stockists.

We've had gorgeous sunny days of late, but the temp drops in the evening so how do we keep enjoying our outside space without the brace! Here's my pick of how to heat your home - and we're going large!   Rusted Wood burning stove and open fire pit from Cox and Cox. My pref is to go large with these amazing oversized lamps/heaters - top from Kindle Living and bottom seen at the International Hotel Show, the Heatsail Dome. Contact for pricing.

First time at this event and enjoyed the numerous suppliers on display. Met some lovely new people and look forward to following up, and hopefully using them with future projects.  For any info on suppliers please contact me. My favourite finds....

I was delighted to conduct a Home Tour and talk on how I turned our house from Chit to Chic... kindly hosted by the Décor Café Network. It was a wonderful morning meeting lovely ladies and gents and hopefully inspiring them to be bold and brave with their décor choices. Presented some horrific before photos and was great to show how having vision and determination over time can transform the bleakest of homes into a calm and colourful haven. Had the joy of being photographed by Tiffany Lin.

The House and Garden Festival is always fun,  and a great place to catch up with suppliers and meet new ones.. The 'stand out stand' for me was Kit Kemp for Firmdale Hotels home. Her signature style is such a personal favourite and the fabrics and details are such a joy. Wonderful to see Juliette Travers wallpapers and to meet Tiles and Beyond.

The Street Party for the Chelsea Design Quarter was fantastic this year! Drummonds kindly hosted an amazing tropical party in their showroom with trifids and ferns growing out of loos and sinks! The DJ kept everyone bopping and it was difficult to leave the vibe to explore the other showrooms.. Loved visiting Reed Harris Tiles and Tatiana Tafur..  ​

Chelsea Harbour was all abloom this week correlating with the Chelsea Flower Show.  All of the showrooms participated in some way and it was a pleasure to wander around and take in. The amazing Rob Van Heldon @RVHfloraldesign gave a talk on his inspo and career whilst his sister and partner put together numerous meadowy sprays for display making it look all so easy! It was a pleasure to meet him afterwards and I was kindly given one of the bouquets..
