Travel, accommodation and expenses for this trip were met by The Colour Flooring Company, but as always, all views are my own. Just occasionally my love of interiors and my love of travel collide. When I was asked recently by The Colour Flooring Company if I would like to visit Portugal, how could I say…
I’m always happy to share new discoveries and especially small, family run operations with their own particular aesthetic. Hudson Home stood out for it’s thoughtfully curated homeware and furniture collections. Collections with a fresh and neutral palette. Their interior style nods to an uncomplicated aesthetic, that is natural, minimal…
You can’t have failed to notice the rise of industrial inspired furniture cropping up in stores and online. You may even have seen covetable (is that a word?) pieces in those uber stylish homes in magazines. I’m talking about the type of utilitarian furniture that would have been used…
If you have a hankering after some sunny, West Coast inspiration in your home, look no further. Especially when faced with a wet British summer. Re-creating that cool, decadent air reminiscent of Beverly Hills or Palm Springs in the sixties takes a bit of colour courage, and a love…

Kitchens that tell a story of their owner and their owner’s family, and passions and life, are always the best kind. I can’t tell you how much I despair when looking at some renovation projects that have removed all sign of personality and history. All in favour of modern…
So you fancy an all-white interior? You’ve been seduced by those sun-drenched villas of the Mediterranean. Where the morning light is amazing and the sunsets turn those white walls warm with the last of the rays. And it is true that all-white interiors can look stunning. It’s the perfect…
This post is inspired by a couple of friend’s recent renovation of a barn in rural France. You know who you are! What’s more it’s all the kind of things you (they) can easily find while perusing the many Brocantes nearby. The furniture is simple country style with a…
