WEST 〰️ This design intensive was all about bringing more colour into a beautiful period home without losing its original character.

Something clients don’t always realise is they often already have a style. My job is to recognise what they’re naturally drawn to and work out how to evolve it and bring everything together.

In this home, there were rich leathers, crafted timber pieces, period style furniture and artwork in ornate frames featuring flora and fauna. There was already a strong foundation.

I looked at the home’s colour personality, what I call a “colour season”. This home naturally sits within an autumnal palette of warm, earthy colours but we needed to turn up the volume. Think mustard yellows, rich burgundies, greens, terracotta and warm timber.

I’m not just looking at colours you like. I’m looking at what you already own, your personality, the architecture and how natural light moves through the space. Because of this home’s orientation, those autumnal colours needed to be pushed a little brighter so they didn’t become too heavy or muddy.

First up is the hallway, the idea is to colour drench in yellow that feels cheerful and welcoming the moment you walk through the door.

I looked at how this palette could carry into a future extension. Tasmanian oak cabinetry, greens, terracotta and burgundy accents, playful terrazzo and tumbled brass that feels more in keeping with the period character of the home. A digital mood board helps clients visualise the ideas together.

That’s what I love about seeing clients homes. It’s not about choosing a few paint colours. It’s about understanding what’s already there, what you’re naturally drawn to and where you want to take your home next.

This is just the beginning of a bigger transformation and I can’t wait to see this home evolve.

COLE & SON 〰️ Cole & Son has just launched Formations, looking back through more than 150 years of their archive and reworking geometric designs through new colours, scales and techniques.

These are my three favourites.

Wavelet is probably the most fun. Inspired by Bargello embroidery, the bands of colour move across the wall rather than feeling like a traditional repeating wallpaper. I love how many colours you could pull from this into furniture, fabrics and artwork. It could become the starting point for an entire room.

Angle Planes feels much more graphic. The angled forms create movement and your eye doesn’t immediately land on an obvious repeat. I love a geometric that isn’t perfectly rigid and this would be a great way to introduce pattern if florals aren’t your thing.

Diamond Maze. This is exactly why I tell clients not to be scared of scale. The pattern is BIG but the tonal changes through the diamonds soften it. A larger pattern doesn’t necessarily make a room feel busier. Sometimes all those tiny repeats are actually much noisier.

And that’s exactly how I like to use wallpaper. Not as a feature wall added at the end but as something that can start the whole colour story of a room.

Are you brave enough for wallpaper? Which one would you choose?

RED 〰️ It’s AFL Grand Final weekend in Melbourne. 🏈

You know that feeling when you’re sitting on the edge of your seat? Your heart is racing, you can feel the blood rushing and the adrenaline kicking in. You’re completely alert and caught up in the moment.

Colour can make us feel things too and most of the time we don’t even realise it.

Bright red is the colour of heat, energy and an adrenaline rush.

It’s a colour that demands your attention. Put bright red into a room and your eye will find it almost immediately. It brings energy to a space and can completely change how that room feels.

And no, I’m not saying you need to go home and paint your living room bright red (but you could 😏 and this inspiration could give you the nudge to do it)

It might be one red chair in an otherwise softer room. A piece of artwork. A lamp. A tile. A stripe through a fabric. Sometimes it’s that unexpected hit of red that stops a room from feeling a little flat.

This is also why I talk so much about choosing the right shade of a colour. Bright red doesn’t make us feel the same way as burgundy or rose. They might all sit within the red family, but the feeling they create is completely different.

This is what I love about colour psychology.

Colour isn’t just something we add at the end to make a room look pretty. It has the ability to change the way a space feels and how you feel when you’re living in it.

If you love colour but you’re not quite sure how to bring it into your own home without getting it wrong, that’s where we come in.

At Nikki Weedon Interiors, we create colour-led homes with identity, helping you work out where to use colour, which shades work together and how much your home actually needs.

DESIGNERS GUILD 〰️ I’ve been trying to work out what to say about this because this one feels incredibly personal.

This week, the Designers Guild King’s Road store closed its doors. A store that has been part of Chelsea since 1971 and a place that was also a huge part of my life when I lived and worked in London.

For anyone unfamiliar with Designers Guild, Tricia Guild created one of the most recognised British interiors brands in the world. Fabrics, wallpapers, paint, upholstery, incredible colour combinations, huge florals and bold patterns. It was always about individuality and creating a home that you loved!

And I was lucky enough to work there.

I was still relatively young in my design career and at a time when Australian interiors were very different, suddenly I was surrounded by thousands of fabrics and wallpapers, colour and pattern every single day.

There are lessons in colour you simply cannot learn from a textbook.

I don’t think I realised then how much those years would shape the designer and person I would become.

My love of colour. My obsession with fabrics and wallpaper. My belief that homes should have identity and tell you something about the people who live there. So much of that can be traced back to Designers Guild.

But it was also the people.

The friendships I made there are lifelong. Every time I returned to London, I’d head back to the King’s Road, see familiar faces and relive a little part of that time. Knowing I won’t be able to do that again genuinely breaks my heart. 💔

Thank you for the education from the queen of colour herself. Teaching me about fabrics, wallpapers, curtain making and bespoke interior design.

Thank you for the friendships, laughs, stories and client projects nobody quite believes.

And thank you for teaching a young Australian designer that there was a whole world of colour out there and clients who love it even more.

I’m so grateful I got to be a tiny part of the Designers Guild story. Big love to Tricia and DG family 💙

Something we’re working on in the background for a recent builder collaboration. The brief started with, “We want it to be beige.”

And we get this a lot! Not every client who comes to us wants a home filled with bold colour. In fact, we work on plenty of projects where the starting point is a neutral palette.

But then we look at the inspiration images.

There’s green cabinetry. Colour woven through artwork and furniture. Natural timber and stone. Brass. There’s usually much more colour in the images they love than they initially realise.

The tricky part comes when we take that inspiration and put an actual sample in front of you. Suddenly, green cabinetry can feel VERY green. But you’re looking at one sample on its own.

It’s very easy to fall back on the default because it feels safer. White cabinetry. Chrome tapware. Plain surfaces. Our job is to show you what happens when we push those boundaries a little.

For this project, we’re still creating the relaxed, neutral farmhouse feel the clients came to us wanting. We’re just weaving green through the home, warming it up with oak timbers and brushed brass and choosing neutral with stronger texture so the palette doesn’t feel flat.

Sometimes you have to stop looking at each sample individually and trust the whole scheme. Because the green sample you’re nervous about on the table might end up being the thing you love most once you see it in your home.

If your Pinterest board is telling us you love colour but you’re still saying, “I think I just want beige”, this is exactly where we can help.

BLOG 〰️ What’s the difference between interior designer and interior decoration and which one do you actually need?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often.

Interior design and interior decoration are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same thing. The easiest way I explain it? Think of your home like baking a cake.

Interior design is the cake. It’s the foundations: your layout, kitchen, bathrooms, custom joinery, lighting, materials and finishes. These are the decisions that need to be made before the decorating begins.

Interior decoration is the icing. It’s the furniture, artwork, rugs, window furnishings, wallpaper, colour and styling that bring personality into your home.

So, which service do you need?

If you’re renovating, changing your kitchen or bathroom, designing joinery or making decisions about the permanent elements of your home, you need interior design.

If the bones of your home are already working but it feels unfinished, disconnected or simply doesn’t feel like you, you probably need interior decoration.

And if you’re starting from scratch? You may need both. The best time to think about decoration isn’t when the renovation is finished. Planning the two together means your furniture, lighting, colours, materials and finishes all belong to the same story.
