It’s reached that time of year when time seems to speed up. It’s like the beginning of the holidays when the first three days seem to float gently past and you think you will live forever like that drifting from lazy mornings to lazy afternoons and evenings and then as soon as you have fully…
Hello and Happy Monday (or whatever day you are reading this). Are you ready for a tour of 10 Beautiful Rooms. I wanted to start with this gorgeous pale pink room by the rug designer Wendy Morrison as I have recently found the perfect shade of pink and am currently enjoying all things this shade.…
I have been gathering research for the new book over the last few weeks and asking people what their most common interior design dilemmas are. One thing that has come back again and again is how to make a small space feel bigger, or how to create a room than can multi-task. A few weeks…
Starting the week with this new kitchen by Devol which is in an Islington townhouse. It’s a large open plan space and by keeping it dark and not too fitted the owners have cleverly blended it into the living space so that it has become a room with a kitchen in it rather than a…
Right then this’ll wake you up. There has been a lot of talk about the return of maximalism recently and while I’m a fan of stuff, and cosy interiors, this may make some of you feel a little faint. It’s sort of House of Hackney on acid. But don’t dismiss it straight away as, as…

This post first appeared a couple of years ago but it’s still a question I am asked all the time so I thought I would go over the guidelines again and also show you some of the new rugs around this season for those who don’t need the information but might just fancy a new…
Good morning and welcome to the new season. The clocks have gone back, the leaves are turning and, in the UK, we all had an extra hour in bed. At least some of us did. Those with small children will have got up at the same time as usual despite what the clock said. As…
How to zone an open plan space is something we have talked a lot about in the Friday Househunter posts but I thought it would be good to dedicate a proper post to it. Not all of us live in airy loft spaces where we need to create small spaces out of one large one…
