From cold grey hallway to warm and welcoming entrance ✨

My client wanted wallpaper but was thinking may be just one wall, but I encouraged her to be brave and take this incredible House of Hackney wallpaper all the way around the space… and I'm so glad she did!

In hallways especially, where there are lots of doorways and angles breaking things up, using wallpaper throughout gives so much more impact!

Add in bespoke staircase panelling, layered lighting and beautiful herringbone flooring and the whole space now feels full of character and warmth.

5 interior decisions to plan early in your renovation… and trust me, it’s not the paint colours.

Some of the most important choices in a home happen long before the finishing touches and getting them right early can completely change how a space looks, feels and functions.

I’ll be sharing more in this month’s Studio Dee newsletter.

Moodboard Monday ✨

A grown-up bedroom scheme for a teenage boy.

My client wanted help creating a bedroom for his son that felt more mature, somewhere he could hang out, relaxi and grow into over the next few years, without it feeling too themed.

Interiors probably aren’t top of most 17-year-olds’ priority lists, but I always think it’s important to get teenagers involved in the process so the space really feels like theirs. We worked together to find colours, textures and references he connected with, which helped shape the overall feel of the room.

As the room is north-facing, it naturally felt a little dark and cool, so we focused on warming it up with soft neutrals, warm wood tones and plenty of texture. The black accents add a slightly cooler edge and help stop it feeling too flat or beige.

And of course, we had to include a subtle nod to the pugs he loves 🐾

Would you let your teenager have the final say on their bedroom design?

From mood board to installation... ✨🚤

Last week we completed the fit-out of this narrow boat holiday let, bringing to life a scheme designed to add colour, character and a warm welcome for families staying on board.

Colour has such a powerful impact on how a space feels, especially in a compact interior, so creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere was central to the brief.

Practicality was equally important. The curtain fabrics needed to be fire-retardant whilst also providing blackout properties to help guests enjoy a good night's sleep. With space at a premium, I sourced a selection of inherent FR and blackout fabrics that delivered both function and style without adding unnecessary bulk.

Alongside the new curtains, we refreshed the bedding, artwork and accessories to create a cohesive scheme that flows throughout the boat.

Swipe through to see the mood boards that inspired the design.

If you're looking to bring more personality and colour into your holiday let, workplace or business, I'd love to help.

Bathrooms may be one of the smallest rooms in the home, but they're often one of the most complex to get right.

I'm currently working on a couple of bathroom projects, including this one. My client was working to a tight deadline and feeling overwhelmed by the number of decisions involved. While it's easy to focus on the beautiful finishes, the success of a bathroom starts long before the tiles and brassware are chosen.

The layout is everything.

Before designing the aesthetics, it's important to consider:

✨ Can the existing fixtures remain where they are, or will they need relocating?
✨ What additional plumbing work will be required?
✨ How will waste pipes be concealed?
✨ Will there be sufficient storage?
✨ How will the space function day to day?

A few of my top bathroom tips:

Hardware finishes matter
There are endless options available, from chrome and nickel to brass, bronze and black. Quality can vary significantly, so investing in well-made brassware is always worthwhile. It will perform better, age more gracefully and stand the test of time.

And yes, you can absolutely mix metal finishes. In fact, I often encourage it. Brass and bronze work beautifully together and create a more layered, considered look than relying on a single finish throughout.

Don't underestimate lighting
Good bathroom lighting isn't just practical—it's transformative. I always recommend a layered lighting scheme, combining functional task lighting with softer ambient lighting to create a space that feels both beautiful and relaxing.

The more bathrooms I design, the more I realise how much there is to consider. I think a bathroom design blog may be next on my list!

If you're planning a bathroom renovation and feeling overwhelmed by the choices, I'd love to help. Send me a message and lets chat.

Two directions for a master bedroom scheme.

My clients came to me because they were struggling to pull the room together. Although they’d played it quite safe with neutrals in previous homes, they both actually really liked colour. The challenge was finding a scheme that suited their slightly different tastes and felt balanced for both of them.

A big part of my role is helping clients find that middle ground and pull together a scheme that feels cohesive and works for everyone living in the space.

Working around their existing bed, I created two directions to help shape the relaxing sanctuary they were after.

One takes a slightly bolder approach with colour and contrast, while the other feels softer in contrast but stiol uses colour in a deep green and dusky pinks.

I love how colour completely alters the look and feel of a space. Tell me, which scheme would you go for?

And if you’re struggling to know how to introduce colour into your own home, feel free to get in touch, I’d love to help.

If you're space is lacking personality- cushions might just be the answer!

They are the perfect opportunity to have a little fun and add some colour and pattern.

And my tip for a really luxe finish - always use feather inners and make them bigger than the cover.

Here's just a few bespoke cushions we've been making for recent projects.

If you've got a space you'd like to bring to life we've got a studio full of designer fabrics, feel free to drop us a line to see how we can help.
