HOW TO MAKE A HOUSE A HOME..💕

Design should make you happy. All the normal things you need to keep yourself sane and going! Here are the things that are spirit-lifters for me:

CREATE A RETREAT

I can’t bang on enough about the importance of nooks, corners to retreat and recharge. You might not have a cabin but a space when you can work quietly or read, or just reflect is so important. I think it’s vital to carve out an area for you – and just for you – to recalibrate when you need.

COLOUR HAPPY

My next point (and yes I say it a thousand times) is to find a colour that makes you happy. For me, that’s the dark hues. Painting something in a dark shade looks sophisticated during the day and super glam at night. These are the colours that I love – cosseting, inky, intoxicating, beautiful, timeless, handsome… I cannot rave about them enough.

TEXTILES RULE

One of the biggest game changers in making your home feel truly relaxed is textiles. It’s like layering history into a room. Nothing adds soft snuggliness like textiles – overdose on them I say!

DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

I’m not a follower of rules, I break them all the time especially all those dull rules like how a room should function. Go with what suits you, and things that make you enjoy your home more.

Oh and finally layering in vintage finds to me are so important, too much and it becomes fusty but the odd piece creates such an interesting dialogue. Living in the present, connected to the past, and weaving a story around yourself. I want intimate, cosy, cocooning and I can only do that with stuff – plenty of it, and loaded with personality!

In the words of Julie Andrews, these are a few of my favourite things… they might not work for you, but my point is to find what makes you happy and run with it. If you want to live in a minimally designed pad, go for it! It’s not for me but then I’m not living there. So what are your favourite things?

3 REASONS TO GO DARK IN BEDROOMS:

Bedrooms are such a personal part of your home to decorate. You want it to be a super-cosy space, bang on the design you love and super-stylish. For me, colour is the most important part of choosing your vibe for the space your decorating. Go bold with your colour choice and you’ll find it’s an instant game changer.

Now, colour is personal of course but obviously I’m going to try and continue on my crusade to convert you to the dark side. So here are 3 reasons to pick up a paintbrush and go dark in your bedroom. Don’t be surprised if the dark hues spread to the rest of your pad too though. It gets a little addictive.

HIGHLIGHT THE THINGS YOU LOVE

I’ll say it over and over again, bold colours makes everything look cooler and stand out. Going dark will elevate all shelving, lighting and accessories you already have, so your bedroom will instantly seem a way cooler space. Promise!
Your bedroom is somewhere you want to linger and be a sanctuary to hideaway from the world. Hence, the lastest bedroom i designed, has Mulberry walls, a contrasting wood-panelled headboard as I love natural materials. We also have thrown in lots of textures such as Tibetan Sheepskin and my super-soft Mohair Throw to create lots of layers for a cosy, luxurious place one would want to hang out in.

CREATE INFINITY

Forget about bland beige for bedrooms, it’s not fooling anyone or making the space seem larger. Instead I’d say paint it all dark – walls, floors, ceiling, woodwork, shelving, the lot. All the boundaries that usually chop up a room like skirting boards, radiators etc the dark colour will distract the eye, which can make a space seem even smaller. But we all know that black on black disappears. So painting everything out in the same dark hue blurs all the boundaries and softens the edges of your room and creates infinity.

BRING OUT THE LIGHT

For me, there is nothing worse than a bright white bedroom, it’s sterile and dull. Make use of the natural light you have and ignore the mumbo jumbo you hear out there about colours. Instead embrace it, go with dark, strong colours and you’ll immediately have oodles of intrigue, drama and glamour.
