I’ve just got back from a lovely break in Lindos and somewhere between exploring the centre, sitting by the pool and actually having time to think, I found myself watching people around the buffets like they were adding pick and mix to a sweet bag.
A bit of this, loads of that, definitely one of those… all the things.
Funnily enough it did get me thinking about how we choose things for our homes.
A kitchen saved from Pinterest. A sofa you loved in a hotel. A paint colour from a friend’s house. Those tiles you’ve had saved on Instagram for three years…
All lovely. But do they actually work together? (Yes, my teenagers had some questionable plates of food at times).
It’s so easy to choose each part of a home individually and then wonder why, when it’s all finished, something doesn’t quite feel right - that’s why we are always looking at the whole picture.
Even if you’re doing the kitchen now and the living room next year, you can plan them together. You don’t need to buy everything at once – but knowing where you’re heading makes such a difference.
And yes, sometimes our job involves telling you that the thing you absolutely LOVE isn’t going to work, nicely, obviously – always :)
Your home should still feel completely like you, just with all those lovely individual choices actually working together.
So if you’ve spent your summer creating your own Pick & Mix of ideas, we have room for one, possibly two, more projects before the end of the year.
We’re also taking enquiries for 2027.
Come and show us what’s in your Pick & Mix – or ask us a question. We love those too.
