Home decor is where personality really comes through, and it’s the finishing touch that turns a house into somewhere that actually feels like yours.
In this category, I share styling advice, colour and finish inspiration, and plenty of room reveals from our own home, covering everything from choosing artwork and styling shelves to picking the right paint colours and finishes. Whether you’re decorating an entire room from scratch or just want to refresh what you’ve already got, you’ll find practical, achievable ideas here rather than anything that requires an unlimited budget.
Good decor doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune, either. Some of my absolute favourite changes in our own home have cost next to nothing. I’ve covered everything from small styling tweaks to full room reveals, and I’ll keep sharing new ideas as we continue decorating our own space.
If you’re not sure where to start, I’d recommend picking one room and focusing on a single change first. A new colour scheme or some updated artwork can completely shift how a space feels, and that way, you don’t need to tackle everything at once.

When it comes to furnishing your home, you probably weigh all the options – what you like the look of, how much it costs, what materials or colours you want.

Wallpaper is one of the most transformative design elements you can introduce into a home. It has the ability to shape atmosphere, soften or define architectural features, and bring depth and character in a way that paint alone often can’t. Yet with such a vast choice of colours, patterns, textures and materials available, knowing where…
Recently, I’ve found myself watching Instagram or TikTok videos of people making their own artwork for their home. Chelsea (the House that Black Built on Insta) even got her 2 year old to paint her home art! It really got me thinking that art is what you make it, and it doesn’t have to be…
Windows shape how a room feels throughout the day, influencing everything from mood to perceived space. Thoughtful window styling balances aesthetics with practical needs like light control and privacy, turning functional necessities into design features that define your interior character. Whether you’re dressing a grand bay window or a small awkward nook, the right treatment…
Travel can be one of life’s most inspiring and rewarding experiences. Exploring diverse landscapes, meeting people from all walks of life, tasting new flavours and soaking up different cultures all shape who we are, often in ways we don’t fully realise until we’re back home again. Whether you’ve spent a long weekend exploring a nearby…
A home doesn’t need to be huge to feel open and easy to live in. I know a lot of people look around their rooms and assume the only way to gain space is by knocking down walls or planning a big renovation, but honestly, small changes can completely change how a room feels. Things…
Microcement is a popular interior design choice that’s used to inject a sleek and contemporary aesthetic. But as a relatively new and innovative concept, it can be difficult for homeowners and business owners to know how to use it throughout their properties. In this article, I’ll be going through what microcement is, why you should…
Being able to add those all-important finishing touches to the place you want to turn into your forever home is what it’s all about, isn’t it? Choosing the perfect paint colours, soft furnishings and little design details all play their part, but one of the most overlooked elements is the humble internal door. They’re in…
There’s nothing quite like walking into a home that’s flooded with gorgeous natural light. It instantly makes you feel happier, more energised, and frankly, like you want to move in immediately!

Dried flowers and bouquets have had a huge moment in interiors. Pampas grass, natural grasses, baby’s breath – they’re all perfect for drying and using around your home. Plus as an added bonus, they’ll never die! Whether you’ve recently had a delivery of flowers or you have a beautiful bouquet you don’t want to just…
Trends come and go. It’s just an inevitable aspect of passing time. And when it comes to home interiors, we’ve seen some big and bold design trends in the past that might not be so welcome today. Remember when everyone was painting feature walls in plum or had those glass block walls in kitchens? What…
