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 household fittings, only the debate between curtains and blind comes close to the argument of a bath or a shower. But, let’s face it – in almost every way, a tub or a ducha is miles more important for most homeowners. It says a lot about a person, for a start,…
I just love it when all the garden decor hits the shops. It kind of lifts my heart a little bit and it makes me so happy to see the bright patterns and colours. But I’m getting a tad ahead of myself because our garden currently looks like this: So we’re a long way from…
When Make My Blinds got in touch and offered to provide us with a set of blinds of my choice, I was so excited. Our windows are all pretty big and pretty unusual sizes, which makes blinds blummin’ expensive. Luckily, Make My Blinds offer blinds at outlet prices, meaning they could be up to 70%…
Some people like lots of hustle and bustle and noise, which is good if you live in city. However, I like peace and quiet but it can be difficult to get this at home. Do you suffer with noisy neighbours? Perhaps they’re constantly playing loud music that keeps you up at night. If you live…
Instagram is probably my favourite social media channel, but it took me a long time to feel like my home was Instagram friendly. There’s so much pressure to have the ‘perfect’ home with not a shoe or a book out of place. While I do always have a mad tidy up before I dare to…
Have you ever felt that your home doesn’t really feel like ‘you’? This might be because it isn’t. You should try to create a home that reflects your personality and here’s how you could try to do that. Play Around With Furniture I do this all the time and my husband goes mad. I…
Cushions. Some people love them, some people hate them, and some people struggle to style them. Here’s how to style your cushions and fall back in love with them. I love adding the finishing touches to a room. I really struggled when we were renovating our home because money was going into buying tools or…

The Lc3 sofa is a reproduction of the original that was designed by French designer Le Corbusier in 1929. The design debuted at the Salon d’Automne exhibition in Paris. It’s a classic style for those…
I’ve often found myself Googling plants to determine whether they’re pet-safe or not. So I decided to write an ultimate guide with all the answers in one place. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve turned to Google to ask ‘Is Swiss Cheese plant safe for cats?’, ‘Is a Boston Fern one of the…
Boho might be a style that you’ve heard of, but you might not necessarily know where it came from or what a boho home really includes. I’m here to answer your questions! The boho style is actually a little confusing, as it’s a fusion of various time eras and styles. It takes on a mixture…
When it comes to decorating your home, metallics can feel a little intimidating. Do you go for gold? Stick with silver? Or play it safe with chrome and call it a day? The truth is, mixing metallics can look incredibly stylish when it’s done with a bit of thought – and it doesn’t have to…
My inspiration for this post came partly from Meera at First Sense Interiors who wrote this fab post about introducing colour into the kitchen, and partly from my House Beautiful magazine which arrived earlier this month. Originally, I was just going to do an inspirational post about what colour schemes and styles you can go…
