To me, it is the mark of good taste – just flick through pages of Vogue and you’ll see in the homes ofContinue reading Murano Style Splurge
I travel A LOT for work (and fun) and I have become a bit of a pro at packing my life into a suitcase. For years, I would pack all the wrong things and turn up at my destination looking crumpled, with all the wrong clothes and missing all the things I actually needed.

Now that my living room is almost finished, I thought it would be fun to show you a few different looks to style your space by switching around the cushions and playing around with throws and accessories.

I’ve long been a lover of the ‘Modern Boho’ trend for interiors. My own attempts to copy this style in my home looked naff rather than eclectic cool. That is until I upscaled my oak flooring with a handmade Moroccan Beni Ourain rug from Sukhi. It’s thick, lush, 100% pure wool and I’m so in love with it (and so is Teddy whoContinue reading Why I Love My Sukhi Rug

I’m a sociable character at heart, and I love having friends over for impromptu, tea and cake or long lazy brunches. My dining room was not a space I could relax in, never mind have friends around for meals. Last year, I had my dining room completely overhauled by my builders. I was left withContinue reading How To Add The Metallic Trend To Your Dining Room
