How to style up your shelves like an Interior Stylist

SOPHIE 2534

One of the simplest way to upsell the look of your home is to style up your bookcase or open shelves. Oh so often I see them groaning under the weight of travel guides, DVD’s and Cd’s and they are well, quite frankly an eyesore! So think about how you style up your shelves with the ideas I share in this short video.

My rug arrived in time for Christmas!!! Introduc My rug arrived in time for Christmas!!! Introducing my new collection with @harlequinfw and wow what a fresh injection of bold colour joy this Basketweave design has injected into the living room! It feels uplifting, energising and positively perfect. I love how the bold geometric design contrasts with the pretty florals and vintage furniture and the overall effect is so much more modern. Best tip I can give you is to go as large as you can afford so all the front feet of the furniture sit on the rug. You want to maximise that splash of colour and pattern to really make the statement. Pick a design and colour way that compliments the rest of your scheme. I love the way the aqua sofa sings against the coral red and pink, yet the colours also link back to the cushions and the painting. The deep 100% pure new pile feels super luxurious for the winter season and is a treat to walk on. You can see the whole collection at @therugseller with outlets in the US and Australia coming in the new year!
Adding joyful colour to your Christmas table could Adding joyful colour to your Christmas table couldn’t be easier with these easy ideas. Tie large ribbon bows to the back of your dining chairs, allowing the tails to fall lavishly long. Use brightly coloured napkins to pop against your classic tableware. A table cloth is an obvious choice but I also love the natural wood against all these bright colours. Dot fruit like clementines, pomegranates, pears and plums down the centre of the table and a few left over tree decorations for a versatile centre piece. Create small posies of colourful flowers and berries, tucked into glass tumblers or low bowls and dot around the room liberally. Add colourful candles down the centre of the table, in different heights, to finish off the centre piece. I think Lucy the dog approves. Do you?

Decorate my tree with me! I love to bring out the Decorate my tree with me! I love to bring out the same Christmas tree decorations year on year but always with a new twist. This year my update is a juicy red, pink and orange scheme. Join me, my Mum and Arthur as we decorate our tree! 🎄 Here’s how: 1. Start with the lights. I always go for a warm light indoors as it’s more ambient to live with. 2. Wanting to save on money and plastic this year, I raided my garden and picked a bunch of hydrangea heads. Other dried flowers could work too. 3. Next update is these tissue paper baubles. I bought 4” ones from eBay and stuck to a pink, red and orange colour scheme as they really pop against the dark green branches. 4. Left over ribbons from last years garland came out again, simply tied rather than in a bow, so they dangle amongst the branches 5. My new recruits are these super cute toadstool mushrooms. I love incorporating decorations that come on a wire as they sit up on the branches, rather than dangle down. I bought them from my local christmas tree barn 6. Finally it wouldn’t be Christmas without bringing out all the golden oldies that bring that air of nostalgia. How have you updated your tree this year.

Transforming my home into a festive wonderland brings me so much joy. •Colour is your secret weapon. Why do what others do when you can dive into a palette of jewel tones, clashing brights, and unexpected decorative pieces? •A beautifully decorated space lifts everyone’s spirits. It’s like walking into a welcoming hug of holiday cheer—who wouldn’t love that? •You can indulge your inner child. Bring the magic alive with every twinkling bauble, nostalgic ornament, and festive rainbow. •More is always more. Christmas is the perfect excuse to turn up the volume on your decor—layer it, mix it, and have fun with it! •Unapologetically YOU. Your Christmas style should reflect your personality. Forget the trends—this is your chance to shine in all your maximalist glory. So, do you decorate like this, or are you inspired to try? I wouldn’t have it any other way. #MaximalistChristmas #ChristmasDecorGoals #MoreIsMore #FestiveHomeStyle #ColourfulChristmas
Introducing my new rug collection with @harlequinf Introducing my new rug collection with @harlequinfw! 🎉And just in time to update your home for Christmas! A statement rug has the power to completely transform a maximalist colour scheme. Sometimes it’s the jumping off point for an entire scheme, other times it’s the supporting act that helps all the other patterns and colours gel together. Mix stripes with your florals, checks add structure to a pattern clash, or go all out floral for the ultimate maximalist vision. Now, I’m curious, which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments! All rugs are 100% pure new wool and available to ship within 5 days at @therugseller #MaximalistInteriors #StatementRugs #ColourLover #Maximalism #banthebeige
Feeling on top of the world! Having got back home Feeling on top of the world! Having got back home from two incredible Discover Colour retreats at @elfennmarrakech my heart is fit for bursting. ❤️ Here’s a fraction of what we discovered on our three day retreat in Marrakech. But my biggest take away is how amazing it is to escape with 16 brilliant women. The stories we shared, the laughs, the tears, the retail therapy! But the sisterly love and connection was pure magic! A huge thanks to the amazing Emma and her team at @elfennmarrakech , @yannrehaan and our special hosts who I’ve listed below who made this exclusive trip one in a lifetime. Cannot WAIT TO GO back and host another in January. I don’t think ‘retreat’ sums up the experience. More like Re-peat the treat as the joy just kept on coming! 1.
