What’s all the Fuss About Grey Interiors?
10 Mar 2014
A few years ago I would never have thought I’d be harping on about grey interiors. It’s GREY for goodness sake. It doesn’t take much to see that I’m a colour loving maximalist, with a penchant for garish florals and a crush on velvet. BUT, that actually makes grey the perfect backdrop for that.
Interior Styling Your Own Way
25 Feb 2014
My mother likens my home to a museum and says, “I don’t know where to look first”, which is just how I like it, but I’m positive it’s not meant as a compliment! I’ve learnt to shrug my shoulders and laugh about it, otherwise any implied criticism would make me question my own judgement and have me thinking ‘too much, too much, put some of it away’ but why should that be?
Wallpaper is a great way to bring a splash of colour and pattern into your home in small doses. It can be used to link small items with a strong design and colour that you really love but don’t want it to overpower your scheme. It’s also a great way to revamp tired pieces that […]

22 Nov 2013
Now that we are so much more well-travelled and it’s not just the preserve of the aristocracy our homes can reflect this. The ethnic look is still a strong interiors trend, but less obvious, using elements from the Far East in a more subtle and surprising way. It’s about celebrating craftsmanship and age old techniques […]
Black Bathroom Inspiration
25 Oct 2013
You may remember my previous blog about taking the plunge with a black bathroom, well I’ve done it- and I love it. These are the before pictures and doesn’t it look like a hotel bathroom? Soulless, to me anyway, all beige and shiny white, but then home décor is a very personal thing. And the […]
I do like black accents in a room, I feel it can sharpen up a scheme but I have been pondering recently on going the whole hog and having a completely black bathroom – the worst that can happen is I hate it and have to repaint. Worth the risk I think for a bit […]
Window Shutters
14 Jun 2013
Hello, Jacqui here. Hollie has finally persuaded me to start blogging more, so you’ll be seeing a lot more of me around here from now on! I have been converted – no, not to Hari Krishna, although a customer of ours at the potato factory has been trying very hard for several years to get […]
Inspiring Interiors
5 Feb 2013
Now instead of my usual ramble (yes, I know I can go on a bit!) I thought it might be quite nice to do a post that was less of me and more beautiful imagery. So I have picked out some of our favourite images from our board ‘Inspiring Interiors’ on Pinterest… enjoy! It’s no surprise that […]
