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.

I’m a huge believer in creating a gorgeous home on a budget. You absolutely don’t need to spend a fortune on renovations, expensive furniture, luxury furnishings and more to make your home look better. There are plenty of simple things you can do to improve the appearance of your home without spending too much money….
Buying a sofa involves quite a few decisions, from choosing a budget and picking the ideal colour to selecting a size and shape. If you’re stuck on any of these things, you can read my handy guide to choosing the right sofa. But if selecting a upholstery or fabric is your current dilemma, you’re in…
The bedroom is where you go to get away from it all; the anxiety, the noise, and everything else that occurs in our everyday lives. But sometimes, our bedroom can become a place for other things too, where we get ready, where we work from home (we’re all guilty of working in bed, right?), where…
Wall murals are the bold interior design choice that your home could be missing. They’re different to wallpaper in that they form one large picture or pattern instead of a repeated pattern, but they can add some serious drama. The only problem is, there’s so many stunning designs and colours to choose from. If you’re…
I am a huge fan of a rug. I think these simple soft furnishings can help to zone a room, add depth, add colour, add pattern and so much more. They can be moved to another place when you’re fed up of them (something you can’t do with other types of flooring) and really make…
I remember dreaming of the day I had my own home so I could buy all the gorgeous furniture I’d see in shop fronts and store windows. When I was younger, I thought it was amazing that you could buy anything you wanted. As I’ve got older, however, I’ve realised that money gets in the…
Our homes are our castles, and as the old saying goes, home is where the heart is. So as a result, shouldn’t our homes reflect who we are, and not just look like a super pristine Insta-worthy home that all looks the same and has zero personality? It can be quite simple to decorate a…
When Bridgerton came out on Netflix, it was the talk of social media. Many of us had read the books previously and those who hadn’t fell in love with the characters, the decor, the dresses, the showbiz-ness of it all. I, as did many people, adored the detailed regency interiors. The show had cleverly…
Lighting is especially important in our homes, but is an often-overlooked feature. But the right (or wrong) lighting can totally transform your home and provide you with a whole host of different environments, atmospheres and ambiances. Bright lights are there to make us feel awake and alert, and can be good for when we’re working…
The Sims was a game I played tirelessly as a child, and it turns out I wasn’t alone as there are around 33 million Sims players worldwide. If you’ve ever played it, you know how addictive it can be! You’re in complete control of someone else’s life, and you can build their world, their home,…
I’ve always found it difficult to define my style. Sometimes, I like geometric patterns, sometimes nature ones. I like pastels but also dark colours. I absolutely love period decor, but it’s tricky to pull it off in a 1980s house. I’ve since stopped trying to define my style and instead just buy what I like,…
What I love the most about interiors is the details. Yes, you can decorate a room with the most expensive wallpaper and the most luxurious carpet, but if you complete the space with cheap-looking finishes, it could let the whole thing down. Doors are one of the unspoken secrets of interiors – many people replace…
