Unpopular design opinion, but… trends are making our homes less personal.

There’s nothing wrong with being inspired by what’s current. In fact, trends can be a wonderful way to discover new colours, materials and ideas. I love seeing what’s new just as much as the next designer.

But when we become too focused on creating a home that looks on trend, it’s easy to lose the things that make it uniquely ours.

The most beautiful interiors aren’t necessarily the ones that follow every design rule. They’re layered with pieces that have a story, colours that evoke a feeling, artwork that means something, and materials that will become more beautiful with time.

In every project, that is a focus for me. What does this client love? Where have they travelled? Do they have things already that could be used? How can I incorporate these layers into my work? So many questions! All in a day’s work. Mx

A guest bathroom for some lucky visitors.

All bathrooms deserve to be designed well. Storage, beautiful tiles, special features, thoughtful spatial planning, and throw in a lovely mirror- but for guests, it feels amazing to know they will be made to feel pampered.

This space was designed to be both a guest bathroom and straight off the pool too. The client wanted it to be like a self-contained part of the home, with breezy and relaxed vibes. I could easily stay right here (you should see the rest of the space!). Mx

A guest room done right! For weekend visits and perhaps a little longer, this bedroom features pops of colour and fresh materials. I always like to ask myself if I would be comfortable staying as a guest, when designing these spaces. And yes, I would love to call this home for a few days! Mx

I can’t remember a project I’ve worked on where natural stone hasn’t been a big feature and focus. There’s something about the way no two slabs are ever the same, each with its own unique characteristics. It’s an opportunity to make your home different from anyone else’s. Mx

What do holiday homes need most? A cosy bedroom to rest and recoup from everyday busy lives in the city. This is the master bedroom of my Blairgowrie project. Layered, soft and ready for relaxation. We wanted something elevated, a place that defied typical coastal tropes. Exactly what I feel like I need right now! Mx

needed a moment on the grid for the wonderful benmazey at cgallerycontemporary . I adored the whimsy, the theatrics and the material play. It’s so interesting to see different materials coming to play on walls. Highly recommend a visit. Mx

I loved designing this separate bar area for my Blairgowrie project. A space away from the kitchen and dining area made for relaxing, lounging, and entertaining. Straight off the beach or escaping the winter chill, this is what holiday homes are meant to be! Mx
