As the evenings draw in, we always say: light the lamps early. Warm, low pools of light, never the big light.
We hate the big light......

Sometimes saying yes is a good idea! We usually prefer a pre-booked appointment to see companies in our studio - we are often out on site or with clients, but Tim caught me at a good time and I'm glad he did. We are adding to our library of natural finishes and it was great to see these wallpapers and fabrics made from products that are good for a healthy environment. And dont get me started on the cashmere throws! I ordered a lots of samples, we can't wait to start using them in future projects.

A good snug isn’t about size; it’s about how it makes you feel. Here are our five essentials for a room that wraps around you. We think a small room works best for this and don't worry about natural light, it can be the darkest room in the house, if the lighting is well considered and there is plenty of texture. Colour wash the room to really get into the cosy vibe, that's when the walls, ceiling and upholstery are all in the same shade, or variations of it. if this scares you, get in touch for some advice!

A few Friday reflections from Decorex - we visited this week.

For us, Decorex is about so much more than seeing what’s new. It’s a chance to spend time with the suppliers and makers we work with, to see their latest pieces in person, and to appreciate the craft behind them.

Nothing replaces being able to touch a material, see how a finish catches the light, or talk to the people who made it. Those conversations always find their way into our projects.

We came away with fresh ideas, new discoveries, and a renewed appreciation for the incredible craftsmanship in this industry.

A quick detour between meetings to see the new accessory displays at Harvey Nichols, with each table styled as its own colour story. We make a point of keeping up with what the top stores are showing. It’s a lesson in how confident colour can transform a space.

We went along as a full team yesterday, and it was the best kind of day out of the studio: new materials to get our hands on, fresh collections to discover, and plenty of catching up with the friends, makers and suppliers we’re lucky to work alongside.

A particular highlight was watching our Managing Director, Lauren, join the panel on Lighting for Wellbeing. Light is one of the most powerful tools we have in a space. It shapes how a room feels, how we rest, and how we live in it hour by hour. It was a real pleasure to hear that conversation unfold.

We came home inspired and full of ideas. Thank you to everyone who stopped us to say hello. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and meet new people to collborate with.

A study is where the house gets serious.

Whether it’s a dedicated room or a corner you’ve claimed, it should be somewhere you can concentrate by day and close the door on by evening. These are the five things we advise:

01 Face the light, not the wall
02 Light the task, then the room
03 Soften the sound
04 Close the door on paperwork
05 Add a second chair

The spaces we spend our days in quietly influence our mood, our sleep and our sense of calm. Daylight, good air, natural materials and a little room to retreat all make a real difference to how we feel at home and at work. Today feels really Autumnal, I was out early and wised I had a scarf! This afternoon is banana bread recipe, coffee and the sofa.

At Matthews Rea we believe wellbeing should be designed in from the start, not added on afterwards. if we can help with making your home a sanctuary, please get in touch.

And please, take a moment today to notice how your space makes you feel, and reach out to someone who might need it.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to manage it alone.
