May could be described in two words: life-fulfilling.

It began in Ibiza - a retreat that took me gently out of routine in the most incredible way. It was an experience that reminds you there’s more to draw from when you step away from the familiar.

It ended in Marrakech with colour, light, texture, warmth. A visual feast in every sense. I loved wandering through the windy streets, knocking on a door and discovering a beautiful riad- cool, airy and welcoming..

In between, the studio carried on. Two larger projects moving forward and a few lovely conversations with people in the early stages of their renovation or decorating journeys. Those early conversations are some of my favourites as there’s so much anticipation and excitement.

I was lucky enough to see Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe in the fabulous adaptation of Romeo and Juliet with my daughter as well as a visual treat of a show at the Tate Britain. The work of Hurvin Anderson is thought provoking and striking with a lot of colour (I loved!!)

And the sweetest news of all: Hannah had her baby. Three weeks early and all is well. She has a much more important job right now and we’ll miss her enormously over the next few months..

June will be more studio-based for me, but I’m taking all the warmth of a very full and magical May with me.

Last week I took myself slightly out of my comfort zone and headed off to Ibiza for a retreat. Not just yoga and sunsets (although there was plenty of both).

I went with no expectations and have come back with my heart open and full.

Natalie has worked so hard to curate an incredible experience for her guests with wonderful facilitators in , , and , each who created rich and thought provoking workshops for us. We were fed the most beautifully fresh and tasty meals by .

But it was the women that joined me there that made it just as special - all founders, brilliant women who encouraged, supported and shared.

5 of us even ended up at Pacha on the last night which ticked my clubbing box too!

If you have ever thought about giving yourself an experience like this - I can’t recommend .we.elevate enough!

Most people cut their renovation budget in the wrong places.

Not because they don’t care but because nobody has ever shown them where the money will actually be felt.

Some rooms reward investment in ways that stay with you for years. A sofa you sit in every evening. A bathroom tap you reach for every morning. The hallway floor that sets the tone before you’ve even taken your coat off.

Others are far more forgiving than you think.

I’ve been working with clients on whole-house projects for over fifteen years, and the pattern is consistent. It’s rarely the size of the budget that makes the difference. It’s knowing where to place it.

I’ve written a full room-by-room guide on the blog. The decisions that matter, and the ones that can wait.

The brief was simple.
A room that stops you… but only because it’s completely yours.
This is what happens when you design from the inside out, not the outside in.

Confidence in colour. Interior design that is yours.

This one stopped us mid-scroll.

A story broke recently about flame retardant chemicals in UK sofas - and the science behind it is genuinely worth understanding.

As a designer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how a home feels. The atmosphere. The light. The materials on the surfaces we touch every day. But this was a reminder that what a home is made of matters just as much as what it looks like.

The chemicals don’t stay locked inside the foam. They escape into the air of the room you relax in every evening. The room you’ve spent time and thought making feel right. The regulations are changing and there are already makers building without chemical treatment entirely - plus vintage furniture made before 1988 that never contained them! Both worth knowing about.

I’ve shared the full piece on the blog. Head over to the link in bio, it’s worth a read!

What do you think - is this something you’d ever considered?

From the very beginning, James knew exactly how he wanted this room to feel.
Not the colours. Not the finishes. Just the feeling. Somewhere defined. Somewhere that was unmistakably his.
We talked about the atmosphere of a gentlemen’s club -dark wood, worn leather, a room that has earned its quiet authority. It sat at the opposite end of the spectrum from the rest of the house. And that was entirely the point.

What connects it isn’t the palette. It’s the warmth of the materials, the texture you want to touch, the personal pieces that make a room feel inhabited rather than styled.

The ceiling is painted in the darkest, most saturated blue-green, the kind of colour that doesn’t open a room up, it draws it in. Holds it. Makes it feel like somewhere you’d actually want to sit and think.

The joinery was designed by us and as ever, perfectly executed by .

If you could dream your office space, how would it feel?

I think a hallway has a few small but mighty jobs to do.

1️⃣ WELCOMING
No one EVER says they don’t want their home to feel warm and welcoming.. so we take that one as a given.

2️⃣GOOD STORAGE
Easy to manage, flexible storage is another key ingredient.

3️⃣ VIEWS
Next up, if it’s at all possible to get a view from the front door through to an outside view or at least a ‘through’ view then you’re onto a winner.

4️⃣ PERSONALITY
And last but not least, it’s great if your hallway can give a little flavour of what’s to come as you walk through it into the next connecting space. Not only will you feel home as soon as you walk through the door, your guests will feel it too!

I think this hallway nails all four!
