I have always thought carefully about lighting, although until recently I considered it mainly in terms of atmosphere and practicality.

In this room, the table lamp and picture light create different pools of warm light, rather than asking a single overhead light to do all the work.

I’m now learning more about the effect light can have on how we feel - our energy, our mood, our ability to relax and even the quality of our sleep.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons I have never liked relying on a central ceiling light. Lamps, pools of warmth and soft shadows create something much more than a beautiful room. They can help create a really soothing environment.

It is something I have always understood instinctively. Now I’m becoming fascinated by the science behind it - and by how much more consciously we can design our homes to support the way we want to feel. 💫

Lately I’ve become increasingly interested in something that can’t really be photographed.
The feeling a room gives you.
We’ve all experienced it. Some spaces leave us feeling calmer, lighter and more settled, while others can leave us feeling quite the opposite.
After more than twenty years of designing homes, I’ve realised that creating a beautiful room is only part of the story.
I’m becoming much more interested in creating spaces that quietly support the people who live in them.
The way natural light moves through a room. The colours we surround ourselves with. The materials we touch every day. The sense of balance, comfort and calm that often goes unnoticed until it’s not there.
I’ve been spending a lot of time learning about the connection between our surroundings and our wellbeing. It’s absolutely fascinating and is becoming an increasingly important part of my work.
Beautiful interiors will always matter.
But if a room can also help us feel more grounded, more rested and more ourselves... perhaps that’s where the real magic lies. 💫
I’d love to know... have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt at home?

When I designed this room several years ago, I hadn’t yet studied Feng Shui. Looking at it now, I can see why the space feels balanced, calm and welcoming.

One of the things I’ve been exploring recently is the relationship between interior design, energy and the Five Elements of Feng Shui: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Interestingly, all five elements are present in this room through the colours, materials and furnishings.

The more I learn about Feng Shui, the more I realise how much there is to learn. It’s an extraordinarily rich and complex discipline that has evolved over thousands of years and can be studied for a lifetime.

A recent course with interior designer and Feng Shui consultant gave me one of those real “aha” moments. Thanks to the foundations I’d already gained through studying Chue Style Feng Shui, his teaching helped me connect the dots and see much more clearly how Feng Shui principles can be thoughtfully incorporated into interior design.

I’m still very much a student, but I’m excited to explore how colour, materials, layout, shape and texture can be used to represent the Five Elements and help create spaces that not only look beautiful but feel more balanced, supportive and energising.

Because ultimately, good design isn’t just about how a room looks.

It’s about how it makes you feel. 🩶💫

I haven’t posted for a while, but I was drawn to today.
It’s spring equinox - a natural point of balance, and one of those moments in the year that subtly shifts how things feel.
In our homes, balance isn’t about simplicity.
It’s about how everything works together.
Colour, pattern, texture, light.
Each element plays its part, without competing for attention.
When a space is truly balanced, it doesn’t feel flat. It feels considered, layered… alive.
This is where design goes beyond aesthetics.
Because when your home is in harmony, you don’t just see it - you feel it. 💫
