I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I’ve needed to hear it again and again this past year.

This little affirmation has carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life; navigating a divorce, facing the possibility of losing my home, and somehow still showing up for my business, my family, and my creativity.

And here’s the thing: I didn’t lose my home. 🏡 I’m keeping it. 🙌 That’s the biggest takeaway for me. Because in the midst of fear and uncertainty, I held on to hope. I kept creating. I kept believing.

Stress and anxiety can really crush creativity. They make us shrink, second-guess, and settle for less than we deserve. But when we give ourselves even the tiniest flicker of faith,  that’s when the magic can return.

So if there’s something you’re holding on for, don’t let go. Keep the faith. You’ve absolutely got this.

And if someone you love needs that reminder too — feel free to share this with them.

Can you believe this unexpected May sunshine? It’s giving me total garden party vibes, and with that in mind here’s how I set the table outdoors, in my maximalist style!

I’ve always said—when the budget’s tight, th I’ve always said—when the budget’s tight, that’s when the real creativity kicks in. If you’ve been watching @interiordesignmasters, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Tiny budgets, tight timelines… and yet the designers deliver seriously awe-inspiring results!

My biggest tip? Take your time, because you’re not in a TV show! I’ve been decorating this house for 9 years, and it’s only just (almost!) finished. Sometimes that means saving up 
to splurge on the perfect piece. Other times it’s about stretching the budget with pre-loved or vintage finds—or patiently waiting for the sales to roll around.

Either way, I truly believe the go-slow approach gives you better results, helps you stay on budget, and creates a home that feels perfectly you.
But—here’s the catch—you need a plan.

There are no words to describe the gratitude I fee There are no words to describe the gratitude I feel for this home.

This house isn’t just where I live — it’s my sanctuary, my creative expression, the beating heart of my family, friendships, and of course, my business. I’ve always put huge importance on making a house feel like home and see it as the foundation to my feeling of ease and happiness. 

When my marriage ended, I faced the devastating and very real possibility of losing it all. But I refused to give up on the home I’d always dreamed of.

I leaned into every manifestation tool I knew (vision boards, mindset shifts, deep emotional work) to not just create this home, but to keep it when it mattered most.

And now, I want to share exactly how I did it! 🎉

On 15th May, I’m hosting my At Home Masterclass — a chance for you to step inside my world, see my home for yourself, and learn how to manifest your dreams and design the interiors (and life) that truly light you up.

If you feel the pull, this is your invitation.

Spaces are very limited — if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it!

Just pop the word ‘Masterclass’ into the comments below 👇and I’ll DM you the details.

Because home is where the heart is. ❤️
Over 25 years as a designer I’ve honed what elem Over 25 years as a designer I’ve honed what elements work in my room scheme and I can see these five things repeated again and again. And I didn’t even mention colour, but that’s a given right!

But it’s very personal and I love nothing more than helping you find your unique design DNA. 

I’m hosting a very special masterclass at my own home on the 15th May. A day with a small group of like minded homeowners to really see and feel my approach up close! It’s an opportunity to get your questions answered and spark ideas. Comment ‘Masterclass’ below and I’ll send you the details, but be quick, there’s only a few seats left!

The devil’s in the detail — and nothing ruins The devil’s in the detail — and nothing ruins a gorgeous wallpaper moment faster than a clunky white light switch slapped in the middle - total vibe killer. 

You all know I’m obsessed with pattern (more is obviously more), so I want my wallpaper to do all the talking, without distractions. 

Enter these clever little beauties from @corstonarchitecturaldetail with clear faceplates that let your wallpaper shine while your switches quietly disappear into the background. 

A bit of careful pattern matching (and a steady hand with the scalpel!) and suddenly function looks fabulous. 

Because in a well-designed home? Every detail matters. Right down to the light switches.
