I'm about to push the button on sending my book to amazon. It's tricky making a black & white book look really attractive, but my daughter has done me some gorgeous illustrations.

The places people choose to put baths and toilets are just astonishing!

For these people, they decided it was time to show the world some of the unique and sometimes hilarious style aesthetics that some workers decided to add to these homes when they were hired for renovation purposes. Keep scrolling to see the wonders that these workers have managed to create. When you...

Ok I'm a design geek. I don't believe that "designer" or "expensive" equals better.
But, these light switches are wonderful.

It is always tricky getting a space to feel right when the wall has switch and socket acne.

And if they can't blend in, it's better that they stand out in a good way.

It makes you feel good when something little like this, that you touch everyday, has a certain quality to it. It makes you feel good, you're worth it.

Quality light switches might even do more to make you feel good, than a fancy outfit or new car (that's just a theory - I have no scientific evidence, yet).

So look at the little things you use and touch everyday. How many make you feel good?

If you work from home, it’s super important that your home provides you with the right environment, allowing you to get on with being fabulous.

Our environment has a huge impact on our well being and it’s hard to feel like you're living a life of abundance if your home is telling you a different story.
I am excited to be moving into coaching on home design, rather than being the designer. I want you to really explore the type of environment that makes your heart sing.

I’m going to be running a course where I guide you through the processes I use when designing, so that you can apply these processes to your own home.
As this is my first time running this course, I’ll be very hands-on to make sure you get maximum value. For this reason, I’m limiting it to just 10 spaces.

If you want to know more about the course, please DM me.

If your home is a source of frustration then I might be able to help. I'm excited to launch an online workshop course that will help you to address those niggles and space problems so you can fall in love with your home again.

This roomset at shows how you can style a kitchen to look more like a warm, welcoming dining space and less like an industrial kitchen. The darker colours make it cosy, along with all the rich texture. The slim backs on the chairs, the glass table and the bench seat are all good choices for a small space.

I signed the petition to stop children being kept separate just because they live in social housing. This is how we should NOT design.

16 signatures are still needed! End the segregated play area at the Baylis Old School complex in Lambeth

Is there an ideal housing density? You might think you’d love a big home, but when that leads to urban sprawl it’s not so good for us. Is high rise, small space, apartment living like Hong Kong the answer?

Is taste and ideas of beauty all completely personal and subjective? Or are there some core design rules to follow to create a beautiful home?

What should your ideal home be like?

I'm excited that the Ideal Home show has recognised how many people struggle with having enough space. I'll be talking about this on the Styling Stage on April 1st (more fool me...)
