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.

This home office room reveal has been a loooong time in the making. I’ve written not one, but two posts before reaching this point. The first outlined my plans for the room (which of course changed), and the second was an update on the renovation. The second post explains why the whole thing was so…
In case you don’t know yet, I’m in the middle of renovating my home office. Honestly, it’s probably the project I’m most excited about, partly so I can finally move all my books out of our spare room and back onto their shelves. But this little project got me thinking about one small but mighty…
I’ve been after some artwork for our home for so long, and struggled to know what I wanted. Using artwork in the home isn’t always the easiest task. Artwork was on my list as the last thing to add to our home. All our walls have been newly plastered so we wanted to get all…
So you’re hosting Christmas this year for 12 people, 3 children and the dog. How did that end up happening?! You want to dress your Christmas table to wow your guests, and there are certain aspects you need in order to create the perfect Christmas table setting. Without one of these aspects, your table can…
I don’t really like change. I’m quite fussy when it comes to decor, and so when I find the perfect item, it’s rare that I get bored of it. That perfect item could easily stay for 10+ years! I know other people aren’t like that and change their mind every other day. No matter what…
Want to update your dining room without spending tonnes of money? The dining room is where you socialise with friends and family, and it’s where you share food that you’ve made for one another. That’s why it’s such an important room in your home. But it does often get overlooked and neglected a little. It’s…
As someone who loves interior design and decorating, I have to say that bedrooms are probably my favourite room in the entire house. I like them because you can do something completely different from the rest of your house. It’s the only room that no one else will ever see. Everyone’s bedroom is like their…
We bought our house in January 2017, have been living there 4 months, and there are still so many household essentials we haven’t bought yet that we desperately need. A couple of weeks ago, we finally started buying some home accessories. It was a great start and now we actually have a living room light!…
No matter how much you adored your home when you first moved in, there comes a point where it starts to lose its sparkle. Suddenly that once-perfect space feels like hard work, endless little jobs, repairs that never end, and a decor style that doesn’t feel quite as fresh as it once did. It might…
It’s becoming more and more common place for flats to come fully furnished. How can you renovate a furnished flat and put your own style into it? So you’ve just rented a flat, and you’ve found out it comes fully furnished. Amazing! No trips to Ikea trying to find cheap furniture that you’ll have to…
When you first move into a house, the big-ticket items —beds, sofas, TV stands— can feel urgent. But it’s the little touches, the accessories, that transform a house into a cosy home. As first time buyers, who are also getting married, we can’t afford pieces of artwork for the walls, or lots of throws and…
Your stairs take up a lot of space, so turn them into a beautiful and interesting feature instead of accepting them for what they are! Yes, they help you get from A to B, but they’re so much more than that. When done right, they can blend with your existing home style and decor, or…
