Finding the ultimate neutral paint colour – it’s arguably the holy grail of interior design. Clients and friends describe this as needle-in-a-haystack territory; there are just so many options to choose from. And, let’s be honest, a flimsy little colour-card can only take you so far! I’ve already written a post on how to choose […]

Summer Bathroom Styling: Some months ago, in the deepest, darkest depths of winter, I discussed creating a spa bathroom. A joyously cocooning sanctuary at home.

Whilst I personally find this shade is a little brash and gaudy, purple has been gaining popularity for some time now.

White decor - To achieve a Hygge-inspired Scandinavian space - the ultimate winter retreat - champion white and work texture. It can be daunting but don't be afraid to forgo colour, instead layering shades of white on white.

Complement gentle hues with whitewashed wood, raw birch or greyed-oak and embrace natural materials wholeheartedly.
