Style At Home

hi there!

Doing up my daughter’s bedroom (AKA the longest makeover in history) has reminded me that my own bedroom redo (my 12th birthday present!) kickstarted my love of interiors. The scheme was designed around a new duvet cover, my mum recovered an old sofa to match and I delighted in picking out accessories in The Pier. Fast-forward a few years and I put just as much effort into styling up my student room at uni, curating gallery walls and zoning the (tiny) space. Back then, I had no idea that I could turn what I enjoyed so much into a career, but looking back it makes perfect sense.

the new look boho coastal

1.Create a chill zone Set a relaxed Bohemian mood with textured textiles. A macramé hanging chair brings the outdoors in, and if the cushions are tasseled, tufted, knotted or super-tactile, it’s in! 2. Mix varied shades of blue There’s no need to stick to just one shade – layer sky blue and turquoise with deep indigo and denim. These tones, when combined with grey accents, create a soft, blended scheme. 3. Use refined raw materials Rustic wood with exposed grain brings a casual coastal vibe. Give it a modern spin with refined shapes for woven pendants, baskets and wooden accessories. 4.
