As this has been a week full of room inspiration and analysis I thought today we might just take the time to have a look at the kind of property that we don’t normally get to see that often. This is an award-winning newly built wooden house that offers flexible living and is flooded with…
You asked and here we are. This week Melissa got in touch to ask about her awkward living room layout. “We have a townhouse that’s about 15 years old and lived in it for four of them. But we are still unsatisfied with the terrible layout and the fact we have tried what we believe…
For today’s stroll through some beautiful rooms to give you your weekly dose of inspiration we start off here and end up in roughly the same place in a neat circular route – always better than having to go miles in one direction and simply retrace your steps no? So it’s kitchens. Now many of…
Right we’re going aspirational for this week (after last week’s post on how to add character) but I’ve chosen this one because I think there is value in it for everyone and we will be focusing on the downstairs rather than the numerous bedrooms. And to those who have asked for a wider variety of…

Hello and Happy New Year. It may be too late to say that but, since I haven’t spoken to you for a couple of weeks I’m going with it as a first greeting. And, on that note (firsts) can I say first of all thank you so much for all your Christmas comments. It brings…
Firstly I would like to thank you all – regular readers and passersby – for all your visits to The Mad House this year. This blog would be nothing without you and your regular contributions – via the comments, your conversations with each other and the community that has built up – mean so much…
