About

Hello,

Thanks for dropping by, I’m Carole and I’m an Interior Designer in the London area. 

I trained at the renowned KLC School of Design and I’m an Associate Member of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID).

I started this blog as a way to collect and share anything that inspires me, whether it‘s a designer’s portfolio, a gorgeous house, a jaw dropping hotel, a fantastic new product or a beautiful shopping website.  The odd celebrity home might creep in too.

Occasionally I’ll share a personal project.

When I’m not designing or blogging, I’m either backpacking around the world or re-arranging my friends’ bookcases.  I’m not even joking.

If you would like to contact me for advice, or just to say hello, I would love to hear from you.

    Carole, i’ve just bought a victorian masionette in highgate. It is in need of some real TLC and i really need some help/advice as ive never embarked on something like this before. I want to add a modern dimension but keeping with some of the lovely period features such as the book cases and staircase. The lighting is also something that needs to be addressed.

    Dear Carole, I just want to say I am in love with your blog!!!
    I am from Peru but I lived and worked 4 years in London and you have no idea how much I am missing all the cute stores, the markets, tea houses, everything. I am also an interior designer. I worked for Tessa Kennedy Design. I am forwarding her your blog. I am sure she will love it as much as I do.
    Best of lucks,
    Isday
