Who doesn’t love a hidden door.

While your wc can be extravagant inside you don’t always want it sign posted from the outside, so panelling around it adds an extra element of mystery.

Ｃｒｅａｔｉｖｅ Ｓｐａｃｅｓ

Ever thought about outdoor rooms?

Shepherds Huts are really popular for a garden studio, air bnb / guest house or office space.

These can be off grid so no need for planning or large infrastructure changes, or just a power cable which a local electrician can install from the main house.

Ｃｏｍｆｉｅｓ

Neutral colours are great in the bedroom to enhance natural light and it feels bigger with dressing area.

Pops of colour bring out your personality

Deep dark colours create the snug feeling, the room is physically embracing, soothing to sleep more in a hibernation state.

How much of a morning person are you to handle dark over light.

Ｌｉｖｉｎｇ Ｃｏｍｆｏｒｔ

Whether it’s modern, country, pop colour or glam, a comfortable living room is key.

A place to sink into cushions and lighting placements to feel embraced.

Ｖｉｓｉｏｎ

Look past the current and see the vision, see the serene space you want to enjoy.

Anything is possible in design, it’s just depends on the budget. But within budget you can make some really exciting changes.

This follows the theme of removing chrome, keeping neutral palette with a clean inviting bright space.

Ｗｅｂｓｉｔｅ

Is all set up and running with some more details on services for interiors and landscaping design work, see link in bio.

I have a real passion for creating spaces that are functional yet flair with design and comfort.

Ｒｅ Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ

Kitchens are a complex room, not only is there colour schemes and cupboard designs. But you have to think of a free flowing layout for each activity;
• cook
• eat
• socialise
• create

My kitchen here was squashed into a corner, I ripped it all out, removed the rayburn which was just for heating, and opened out the space with more working space.

Ｂａｔｈ

Did you know that baths can help lower cortisol which is the main element of measuring stress.

Bathrooms needs to be practical, clean/ hygienic and comfortable.

I wanted the free standing modern look but with the practicality of a back to wall bath, and luckily managed to find an L bath to give me the best of both worlds!

Ｃｏｚｙ　Ｓｐａｃｅｓ

Switching up hardwood floors for carpets can make all the difference.

Adding neutral tones and earthy textures so wood and wool will nest the comfort feeling.

From doodles to realities

Ｔｅｘｔｕｒｅｓ

So I’ve been re doing the bathroom, it’s been a nightmare I’ll be honest.

Lots of lessons learnt but I didn’t hold back and now seeing my version in reality is epic!! One of the best feelings for the designer mindset.

I’ve just a mixture of tiles, wood and porcelain with of course brass. This oak under the sink is my favourite, I took the wire brush drill attachments and went crazy distressing it. It’s was sooooo satisfy, being hands on in design work is totally my thing to make it just as I want it. The perfectionist in me.

More images to follow with before an afters, on resigning bathroom layouts.

Ｏｕｔｄｏｏｒ　Ｃｏｏｋｉｎｇ

I mean who wouldn’t love a pizza oven in their garden.

Well it’s not as straight forward as you think, believe me. These weigh about 400kg so not something you can just pick up and move.

With this in mind it comes back to careful planning of where to put your outdoor kitchen, easy access and sheltered, it’s not sunny all year round 😂.

But they do make amazing pizza 🍕.

Ｌｉｔｔｌｅ　ｔｏｕｃｈｅｓ

It’s taken me sooo long to find the right little pots for my bedside table accents.

I spotted a few treats on and they were great to give me a sneak into some other bits.

So these were perfect to add a touch of depth to each bedside table.

Ｇａｒｄｅｎ　Ｐｒｏｐｓ

I know it’s winter but it’s never to early to start thinking ahead to time in the garden next year

This pallet wood bar is so beautiful, sanded and oiled with a clear finished to keep the natural tones. I’m all about textures and tones within a similar palette

Great as a serving table, bar or decorative display. I’ve used pallet word a number of times for projects and all have worked out so well

Items like this can be included within a design project for those bespoke touches

Ｋｉｔｃｈｅｎ　Ｄｉｎｉｎｇ

The entertaining space of the house

With more at home dinner parties and social gatherings, the open kitchen diner layout is more popular than ever

This is my last house, where I remodelled the space removing some walls and adjusting extension. I will do some before and after shots soon

I can also offer kitchen design plans, and I can assist with sourcing kitchen and worktops as well

Happy to review to use some of existing units worktops etc, or a complete strip and refurnish

Ｇａｒｄｅｎ　Ｌｕｘｕｒｉｅｓ

I said for ages I wanted a hot tub but now I have one I rarely get time to go in it 😔

The outdoor snug I designed as a relaxing space, initially I had seating and a fireplace but it seemed far more fitting for this beauty

Designing spaces in the garden is just as important as in the house, spending more time outdoors also has a number of health benefits even in the winter 😉


Lay-Z-Spa Hot Tubs

Ｓｕｂｔｌｅ　ｃｈａｎｇｅｓ

That completely change the mood

We often out grow or change our styles or moods, we can make little changes to existing spaces to great a whole new feel

Here is my bedroom in my last property which was more modern than current, I always chose to dress houses appropriately to their structures and materials

Ｗｉｎｔｅｒ’ｓ　Ｃｏｍｉｎｇ

Yup a log delivery in the countryside means only one thing ….. Winter ❄️

When designing outdoor spaces it’s key to think of access and storage for all needs

Ｌｉｔｔｌｅ　Ｄｅｔａｉｌｓ

I admit I have a thing about gin bottles and obviously the gin inside

I’ve used a few different bottles around the house, brands and colours, for dried flowers or incense with sticks

These are frozen then thawed eucalyptus cut from the garden, those eucalyptus plants have gone crazy this year 😳 so there’s likely to me more cut and dotted around the house 😂

Ｄｅｓｉｇｎ　＆　Ｂｕｉｌｄ

Not only do I love designing but i’m equally as passionate about building and creating the vision to

In my current stone cottage renovation, I’ve been using a lot of reclaimed materials where possible and rustic / chic styling

The garden has been the place that I can take complete control and have landscaped it all myself

Ｅｌｅｃｔｒｉｃｓ

Light switches and plug sockets don’t have to be boring

At home I opted for black and brass throughout the house and these sockets and switches from are just perfect

They also match the door k***s, I do love a theme

Ｏｕｔｄｏｏｒ　Ｄｉｎｉｎｇ

Creating spaces outside is just as important as inside, most of the summer is spent outside enjoying the warmer weather

Fresh air and sun light makes for an all better dining experience

This bespoke maple dining table is something else 🤍
Available to order DM for more info

Ｂｅｄｒｏｏｍ　Ｍｏｏｄ

Walking up stairs after a long day to this view is a piece of tranquility

The panelling, the lighting and the bed. Nothing is more important than a bed finding the right frame and style, down to the mattress and sheets

I for one am particularly picky about these things

Ａｕｔｕｍｎ　ｃｏｍｆｏｒｔｓ　🍂

Is there anything better than a log burner and candles in autumn

Preparing for winter
