Beatengreen Living Soulful Homes for Homeful Souls. Interior design guidance, tools and support for creating a home that fits.

The colours we choose, the furniture we collect, the materials, art, objects and details we surround ourselves with can bring enormous pleasure.

But beauty isn’t where the design process ends.

Because eventually we have to live in the room.

So perhaps more importantly - how do you FEEL when you’re in it?

The goal isn’t to choose between beauty and feeling.

It’s to use beautiful things, good interior design and an understanding of yourself to create the environment you want to LIVE in.

Beauty is something your eyes recognise but HOME is something your whole body experiences.

Free Advice Friday starts again soon!! Don’t miss it. Link in bio.

12 days until I move back home and I’m SO excited!

Not just moving back into my actual house after the Airbnb season, but getting properly back into Homeful again too.

The last few weeks have been a strange mix of moving between places, cleaning, resetting, hosting, working wherever I happen to land and generally just getting on with it. (thank you , and )

It’s been useful, actually. Being away from home always reminds me how much home does for us.

So I’m counting down now!!

12 days until I’m back in my own space, back into my usual rhythm, and back talking about all the things I love talking about in Homeful: how our homes feel, why they affect us, and what makes a space truly work for the person living in it.

Just an interior designer living in Cornwall remembering that she also lives by the sea. 😂 I’ve finally made it to the beach. 🙌

Living and working in Cornwall, you’d think a summer beach break would be fairly easy to achieve.

Apparently not.

Between projects, Airbnb changeovers, creating the new Home Design Kits and generally keeping life moving, somehow most of the summer has happened without me actually getting here.

So this is me, finally taking a couple of hours off - 2.5 to be precise! I forgot my water and suncream so returned a bit dehydrated but lucky for me there is a whirlpool bath hot tub in the garden!!

You find an interior you LOVE.

So you save the paint colour, find a similar sofa, copy the lighting, track down the rug…

And somehow… your room still doesn’t feel right.

Why? Because you’ve copied what you can see, not necessarily what your body was responding to.

Maybe it was the proportions, the natural light, the age of the building, the ceiling height, the relationship with the landscape, the materials, the sense of enclosure, the visual quiet - or simply the atmosphere created by all those things working together.

That’s why copying an interior design aesthetic rarely guarantees the same feeling.

The more useful question isn’t:

“How do I recreate this room?”

It’s:

“What is it about this room that I’m responding to?”

Once you understand that, you can translate the feeling into your home rather than trying to reproduce somebody else’s.

Because your eyes notice the aesthetic.

Your body notices the rest.

And that distinction is at the heart of how I think about personal interior style and The Homing Instinct.

We’ve been taught to find our interior style by looking at pictures.

Save what you like. Make a moodboard. Spot the similarities.

But I think there’s another layer underneath all of that.

The places you’ve lived. The landscapes you’re drawn to. The amount of light, space, enclosure, texture or visual stimulation that FEELS good to you. Your memories. Your experiences. The environments in which you’ve felt most yourself.

They leave clues.

And once you start looking for those clues, seemingly random aesthetic preferences begin to make sense.

You’re not just discovering what you like.

You’re decoding why you like it.

That’s the thinking behind The Homing Instinct and the Home Design Kits - because your style shouldn’t just look like you - it should feel like you too.

It’s my day off but it’s raining, so instead of hitting the beach like I promised myself, I’m driving through Cornish mizzle towards St Just.

But I have a plan!!

In three years, when the kids finish college, I want to sell our house and start again somewhere a bit more wild - another old house, another project, and ideally somewhere that can work for both home and income.

Soooo I’m not technically house hunting yet.

But I AM area hunting. 🙌 Because when it comes to choosing somewhere to live, I don’t think the photographs ever tell you enough.

You have to go there and feel it!!

Home as a verb.

Weeding. Cooking. Moving things. Opening windows. Bringing bits of the garden inside. None of it particularly remarkable, yet all those tiny acts accumulate into something.

The flowers we bring in. The chair we always choose. The things we keep because they hold a memory. The garden we tend. The rituals we repeat without even thinking about them.

And all those tiny choices, objects and acts accumulate into the feeling of belonging somewhere.

Out eyes notice the beautiful things but our bodies notice what they create.

I’ve always given my kids pretty much complete creative freedom over their bedrooms. Which is lovely in principle 🫣

Less lovely when you’re an interior designer and their creative expression has travelled approximately 421 miles beyond anywhere you would voluntarily go. 😂

So when the room needs resetting, I’m not really trying to redesign it - I would never get away with that - I’m just hoping to neutralise it for paying Airbnb guests.

Work with what’s there, calm down the competing elements, store some things in the garage and pull it back together as best I can! And resist the overwhelming temptation to start again.

Sometimes that genuinely is the best design job you can do - because a home isn’t a showroom - and the people who live in it *sometimes* matter more than your preferred aesthetic 🤪

•This week I cleaned my new favourite house five times for five different sets of Airbnb guests.

•Met with a client to schedule a Design Clarity session about the bedroom in her Folkestone second home.

•Booked in a HomeFOLK Studio group chat.

AND

•Sold my first Home Design Kit. 🙌

That last one feels particularly significant because it’s the beginning of something I’ve been building quietly for a very long time.

And it’s made me wonder whether I should offer a Pioneer Price for EACH new Style Kit (there are 15). The first person to choose an expression gets it for less while I create that particular kit for the first time.

Then once the kit exists, it goes to its full price.

I think I like that!!

I think I planted courgettes and pumpkins.

Something came up, but the slugs ate them.

Then I emptied the worm farm and suddenly these appeared and I congratulated myself on the miraculous regenerative powers of worm compost.

Except now I’m wondering whether these are actually pumpkins and they just come up later??

I PLANTED THEM. How do I not know? 😂

I need to start labelling things.
