While there's always a place for the traditional festive colours, Christmas decorating offers a wonderful opportunity to experiment with richer tones, unexpected combinations and beautiful textures that complement your interiors.

I'm particularly drawn to the elegance of burgundy paired with blush, the warmth of chocolate brown and cream, and the richness of deep plum against softer neutrals. Layered with velvet ribbons, decorative glassware, natural foliage and a little candlelight, these palettes can create a festive setting that feels sophisticated and full of character.

One of my favourite approaches to seasonal decorating is to take inspiration from the colours and materials already in your home, allowing your Christmas decorations to feel like a natural extension of your interiors rather than something entirely separate.

Whether you're drawn to jewel tones, warmer earthy shades or a more contemporary winter palette, there's plenty of room to have fun and make Christmas your own.

A beautifully dressed table, the warm glow of candlelight and a room filled with conversation. There are few things more enjoyable than an evening spent entertaining at home.

The dining room offers so many opportunities to play with colour, texture and decorative details. From elegant table linens and sculptural candleholders to beautifully crafted ceramics and statement lighting, it's these considered elements that bring a space to life.

I'm particularly fond of combining contemporary designs with vintage treasures, introducing pieces that have a story to tell and giving the table a little personality of its own.

Beyond the tablescape, the surrounding interiors are just as important. Comfortable seating, flattering lighting and a carefully chosen playlist all help create an atmosphere where guests feel welcome and conversations can continue long into the evening.

Whether you're hosting an intimate supper or gathering friends and family around the table, thoughtful design can make the occasion feel that little bit more special.

As autumn gives way to winter, our homes begin to take on a different character, offering a welcome retreat from the colder days and darker evenings.

Rich seasonal colours, beautifully layered textures and the gentle glow of thoughtfully placed lighting all contribute to creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. It’s often these carefully considered details that make a space feel truly inviting.

I’ve always believed that a home should be a reflection of the people who live within it, filled with personality, character and the things that bring us joy. A space that feels just as wonderful to spend time in throughout the changing seasons as it does to look at.

As we welcome November, I’m looking forward to finding fresh inspiration in the season ahead and appreciating all the little things that make a house feel like home.

A little look behind the scenes at Verano Interiors this October!

It’s been a busy and inspiring month, with plenty of exciting projects taking shape, site visits, and new ideas to explore.

One of the highlights was a trip to Glasgow to learn more about retrofitting old and traditional buildings and visit Material Source, discovering some beautiful materials, finishes, and fresh inspiration to bring back to future projects.

Away from the studio, there’s also been time to enjoy the changing seasons, from autumn walks and exploring Drum Castle to baking with apples from the garden and a little pet-sitting!

Running an interior design studio means no two days are ever quite the same, and that’s what makes it so rewarding! Here’s a little peek into the projects, places, and everyday moments that have made October such a lovely month.

A lounge with a view!

This week’s moodboard is for a spacious lounge in a new-build home, complete with lots of glazing and gorgeous countryside views.

We’re working with Farrow & Ball’s Jitney for the walls, introducing warm, earthy tones, rich textures and contemporary furniture to create an inviting space.

One of the main considerations has been finding a recliner sofa that offers comfort without compromising on contemporary style. Not as easy as you might think!

We’re also exploring a bespoke false chimney breast with an integrated electric fireplace beneath the TV, with stone cladding or Venetian plaster being considered for the finish.

Lots of lovely details to bring together, and we’re looking forward to seeing how this room develops.

I think we’re getting braver with our homes again, and as an interior designer, it’s something I love to see!

More colour, more personality and more confidence to fill our spaces with things we genuinely love, rather than making every decision with a future buyer in mind.

Of course, resale value matters, but when you could be living in your home for another five, ten or twenty years, enjoying that space matters too.

I love seeing homes filled with meaningful artwork, favourite colours and furniture that reflects the people living there.

Don't be afraid to paint the room that colour, hang the artwork or display your favourite collections. Your home doesn't need to appeal to everyone, it needs to feel like yours!

Autumn styling can be such a nice way to change the feel of your home, but it’s also very easy to go a little too far with it.

For me, the best seasonal updates are the ones that still feel like they belong in the space. A few richer tones, softer lighting and carefully chosen details can be enough to bring in that autumn feeling without making the room feel too dark, too busy or overly themed.

The key is keeping the overall balance of the room in mind. Seasonal touches should add atmosphere and character, while still working with the colours, proportions and style that are already there.

Autumn interiors should still feel like your home, just with a little more warmth and mood for the season.

Thinking about refreshing your home for autumn? I’d love to help you bring it together in a way that feels personal and considered.

October always brings a slightly moodier feel to our homes.

Deeper tones, candlelight, layered textures and richer materials can completely change the atmosphere of a room, especially as the evenings draw in. It’s a lovely time of year to lean into spaces that feel warm, characterful and a touch dramatic.

You don’t need to decorate for Halloween quite literally either. Sometimes darker colours, antique details and atmospheric lighting are enough to bring that October feeling indoors.

A family home has to work hard, but that doesn’t mean it has to feel purely practical.

The best spaces make day to day life easier without losing warmth or personality. That might mean creating better flow through busy areas, choosing finishes that can cope with everyday use, adding storage where it’s actually needed, or making sure one room can comfortably serve more than one purpose.

I always think the goal is to make the home support the family, rather than asking the family to constantly work around the home.

If your space isn’t quite keeping up with family life, I’d love to help you rethink it.

Designing a young person’s bedroom is one of those projects where I always think a few years ahead.

I want the space to feel like them now, but still have enough flexibility to change as they do. Keeping the larger pieces adaptable, building in practical storage and leaving room for their personality to shine through in the things that are easier to update can make such a difference.

I also really like involving them in the process. Letting them choose colours, artwork or the details they love helps the room feel genuinely theirs, rather than something that has simply been designed for them.

If you’re planning a bedroom update, I’d love to help create something that feels personal and practical for years to come.
