I’ve shared little snippets of this design on my socials before, but the room has only just been fully completed and today I finally took the finished photographs.
My client came to me after the kitchen had already been installed, with some regrets about the colour choices made with the kitchen company. The cabinetry features three tones; white, dark blue, and a lighter blue. When I first saw it, I agreed it didn’t quite sit right. The contrast between the bright white and dark blue felt too stark, and the addition of the lighter blue introduced even more cool tones, making the space feel unbalanced. What the room was really missing was warmth, texture, and natural elements. To help tie the three kitchen tones together, I introduced artwork that incorporates all of the shades, creating a more cohesive feel. The addition of real plants also helps to soften the space and bring it to life. Layering in materials like wicker, wood, rattan, brass, black metal, seagrass, and marble adds warmth and depth, while creating much more visual interest through natural finishes. Given the seaside setting, it felt right to introduce a subtle coastal influence, but I was keen to avoid anything overly themed or contrived. Instead, the look leans more towards a relaxed Californian beach house, brought in through palm prints and fabrics. To keep things feeling relaxed and not too “matchy,” each window has been dressed differently, using a mix of stripes, palms, and plain fabrics for a more layered, lived in feel.

It’s exciting to share a finished design instead of just proposals! The journey from concept to completion can feel quite lengthy. This is a project for a family bathroom in a seaside townhouse. My client wanted a coastal vibe, but since this north facing bathroom has small windows, I decided to avoid the typical blue shades which would have made the room look cold. Instead, I chose warmer hues, using terracotta and coral, accented by a hint of sage. To unify the design, I incorporated shell wall prints. I drew inspiration from the textures and patterns of seaside shells, selecting wall tiles that mimic their lines to enhance the coastal theme. The colour palette also features natural tones, along with a creamy Wimborne White wall paint. I deliberately steered clear of bright white, which can seem grey and shadowy in this north facing space, given the lack of natural light. To add depth, I suggested waffle towels and an embossed bath mat that reflect the textures of seashells. Quirky touches, like a shell shaped toilet roll holder, door k***s, and hooks, bring a playful charm to this sophisticated and traditional bathroom. Initially, my client wanted to keep the boiler visible since they had invested in a nicer facade to the bolier. However, I encouraged them to hide it behind a louvered door cupboard, which also provides additional storage for cleaning supplies and toiletries. My client is delighted with the result.

In redesigning the bedroom of this Cardiff townhouse, my primary objective was to enhance storage solutions while rejuvenating the space, which had become dated with its grey tones. The existing interior felt sparse, lacking the warmth and character it needed. My aim was to create a vibrant and inviting environment for my young, cat-loving client! The design journey began with my client’s fondness for the trending burgundy hue. This led to the discovery of striking wild cherry bedroom furniture, which served as a catalyst for selecting complementary artwork and accessories. I chose a “safari jacket” beige for the walls, providing a neutral backdrop that allows the statement furniture and vibrant colors to shine.The overall aesthetic is youthful and playful, balanced with sophistication through the pairing of burgundy and green. By repositioning the bed, I was able to free up a wall for additional storage solutions. My client expressed a need for a dedicated dressing table, as she currently applies her makeup on a window sill, which is far from ideal! To accommodate this, I proposed a bespoke tiled worktop in the recess beside the chimney breast, allowing for the use of a freestanding LED makeup mirror. Shelves above will be painted to match the walls, maintaining a cohesive look.To add cosinees, warmth and contrast, I recommend warm oak flooring, which will significantly enhance the space compared to the existing washed out grey flooring. I believe I’ve successfully captured my client’s tastes and preferences, as evidenced by her enthusiastic reaction.
I now look forward to the design of her spare bedroom.

This year’s Christmas dining table has been arranged, echoing last year’s design but with a more striking & dramatic presence. Although I’m three days ahead of schedule, I’ve prioritised this over packing away my holiday laundry, feeding my creative soul instead!! It’s great what can be crafted from an unused curtain pole, a few rolls of velvet ribbon, and a variety of baubles sourced from different stores, all while remaining cost effective whenever possible. Here’s a sneak peek of the setup before the crisp white tablecloths are inevitably splattered with gravy, red wine spills, and the chaos of Christmas cracker remnants. Interestingly, after a suggestion from my hairdresser and two friends, I’ve begun to consider the possibility of offering a Christmas decorating service, a venture that might become a reality in the future. Wishing a Merry Christmas to all my family, friends, current clients, potential clients, and followers from Jasmine Interiors!

Building on my previous post, I am now on to my kitchen and dining area Christmas decorations. Unlike the vibrant theme I showcased earlier, this decor embraces more subdued, earthy tones that coordinate nicely with the interior. After a kitchen respray this year, transitioning from greys to greens and brick red, I was able to repurpose many of my existing decorations. However, I felt the need to enhance the space with an earthy colour palette. I found a great selection of autumnal shades readily available, as retailers seem to offer an abundance of these tones this season. My new additions come from Cox & Cox and Oka, but I also discovered some fantastic pieces at The Range and Homesense, helping me maintain a budget friendly approach. My mother made some tree bows from my left over striped roman blind fabric. Da iawn mam! My brown paper roll notice board is always eager for a festive message, and I proudly display Welsh signage, showcasing my patriotic spirit! There’s no doubt my alcohol shelves will see plenty of use this Christmas! I’ve opted for a minimalist approach to my fireplace decor, allowing the busy wallpaper to remain a focal point.

I’ve taken a step back from my business pages in recent weeks as part of a strategic effort to lighten my workload and get a head start on Christmas preparations ahead of my upcoming trip to New Zealand. Typically, I don’t even begin to think about decorating for Christmas until December! However, this year is different, I can’t leave the trim up to house sitters!! With the rising costs of decorations, completely recreating a look each year solely for my business promotion isn’t practical! Still, I do make small adjustments each year to refresh the aesthetic. While red and green are traditional Christmas colours, I feel it’s essential to align the decorations with the room’s existing colour palette. Coordinating with the interior colours ensures that the decor appears intentional rather than chaotic. This year, I’ve created quite a statement over my dining table. In the past, I have hung glass baubles and glass snowflakes from invisible fishing line from my chandelier, achieving a light, floating and shimmery effect. This year, however, I opted for torn ribbon and fabric to make a bolder statement. I’ve added new baubles from Ian Snow and Oka to my existing collection. A pole wrapped in navy velvet ribbon is now attached to my chandelier, with yellow Oka faux foliage twisted around it, for the baubles to hang from. The yellow accents provide a vibrant touch, harmonising beautifully with the yellow tones throughout the interior. I’m eager to complete the table decor upon my return from the trip!

The transformation evident in these before and after photos is striking. This charming cottage, featuring wooden beams and stone floors, required a more minimalist interior to highlight the beamed walls as a focal point. The initial photos reveal an excessive use of wood. The presence of a tall wooden dresser and a wooden table, combined with the ceiling and wall beams, created an overwhelming effect.
By introducing a sleek black table, the design achieves a harmonious blend of historical elegance and modern sophistication. While cottages can sometimes lean too heavily into a traditional aesthetic, risking a dated appearance, as shown in the before images. This redesign opts for a decluttered space. Replacing the tall dresser with a lower sideboard fosters a more serene, comfortable, and airy atmosphere. The lower sideboard also liberates wall space, making room for wall art that enhances the overall look. The new rug complements the existing flooring, unifying the colours of the floor, table, and walls through its palette and pattern. Additionally, modern chandeliers with a hint of traditional design elevate the once standard lighting, providing a fresh and inviting ambiance. The previous cluttered and oppressive space has been transformed into a sharp, contemporary, and welcoming environment.

This serves as a prime illustration of the principle that “no job is too small.” I truly appreciate that my client reaches out for even the most minor tasks, such as selecting paint colours! Although I have never visited her home in Maidenhead, I have successfully assisted her with three previous rooms, making this project the fourth. She provides images, videos, and measurements, and we collaborate from there. This demonstrates that effective design can be achieved even from a distance. While blank canvases are ideal, they are often uncommon. I frequently work with existing furnishings and design schemes around them. This project was no exception, as it included a brown sofa, an armchair, and an exercise bike that needed to stay. While it’s challenging to make a Peloton bike appear stylish, I hope the overall interior design will draw attention away from this less aesthetically pleasing element. My client uses this conservatory space for exercise, board games, and puzzles, making it a well utilised area with lovely views of her garden. Given the varying shades of greenery visible from this space, it was a natural choice to incorporate earthy tones and greens into the design to create a harmonious blend with the surroundings. The walls will be painted in a soothing shade called “Duvet Day,” which perfectly embodies a calming and relaxing atmosphere. This modern beige, with its slight earthy undertones and touch of grey, offers a timeless appeal. Additionally, the palm tree themed cushion adds a Californian vibe, reminiscent of the area my clients once called home. Another satisfied customer!

A pristine blank canvas awaits in this stunning cottage, featuring freshly painted white walls and a neutral carpet. It’s the perfect setting for me to contribute my vision in selecting furniture, lighting, and accessories. My client has opted for a neutral palette, leaning towards a contemporary aesthetic that compliments the traditional architecture. The beautiful wooden beams and stone walls provide an ideal backdrop for this design. I have curated a selection of traditional and rustic furniture paired with contemporary ethnic artisan wall art and accessories. The charming cottage window, complete with a deep sill, presents a wonderful opportunity to create a window seat, utilising a mix of fabrics for the blinds, seat pad, and cushions. An inviting spot for reading or simply enjoying the view outdoors. I relish the chance to incorporate a variety of textures, patterns, and finishes into my design schemes. This hallway, staircase, and landing will showcase an abundance of these elements, all harmonised with a calming colour palette of beige, brown, and cream. The result will be a fresh, light, and airy space that is visually stimulating.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how this shower room design unfolds, as it’s a style I would gladly embrace in my own home. My client, like many, was uncertain about her preferences but knew exactly what she wanted to avoid. The journey to finalise the design was quite challenging, but we made significant progress by narrowing down various options. One element she was certain about was incorporating a Thomas Crapper toilet, and it’s easy to see why! It’s a stunning centerpiece, renowned for its elegant flush and classic shape. The shower room features a traditional ambiance, achieved through tile selections that seamlessly blend with both modern and classic decors. A less desirable corner, which includes a window to an adjacent room that offers minimal light, posed a design challenge. I decided to block this area and transform it into functional space by creating a bespoke storage cupboard and cabinet that appear as though they have always been part of the room. The proposed Brushed Marble Basketweave Mosaic Oro tile will add an air of sophistication, showcasing an intricate basketweave design that fuses the timeless allure of marble with a contemporary flair. Its gentle neutral tones, accented by darker shades, create a striking visual impact. When paired with a natural wood vanity unit, the overall luxurious feel will be enhanced. Antique brass taps, towel rail & shower will add in warmth & compliment the traditional setting. While the room maintains a neutral and serene palette, the flooring will serve as a bold statement piece. I take pride in selecting every detail, from towels and greenery to bud vases and artwork. My scale drawings include accurate representations of all elements, ensuring that even the smallest vases are to scale. This attention to detail is crucial in helping the client visualise the space and fully appreciate the design. I’m excited to collaborate once more with Baked Tiles, whose selections are truly unmatched!

I am currently working on an exciting project to revitalise an Airbnb property in Cardiff, aiming to enhance its appeal and elevate its overall quality. Having previously managed an Airbnb for a couple of years, I understand the critical role that interior design plays in distinguishing your property from local competitors. Feedback from my guests consistently highlighted their appreciation of a stylish and comfortable interior. This existing Airbnb has a dated aesthetic and lacks a sense of warmth. The grey accent wall has become outdated, and the remaining white walls are devoid of artwork, resulting in a sterile atmosphere, particularly with the presence of glass furniture. There is a clash of styles between sleek modern glass furniture & country cottage pine. The king-size bed can be separated into two singles upon guest request, but this often leads to loose and misaligned headboards. I recommend removing the headboards and installing wall panelling halfway up the walls. Above this panelling I propose adding a mural of Cardiff, aswell as links to Wales in some of the additional artwork. Incorporating Welsh references that celebrate local attractions can enhance the listing’s appeal and competitiveness, potentially boosting both bookings and revenue by helping guests better understand the neighborhood’s atmosphere. Additionally, I suggest replacing the white walls with beige to foster a cosier environment. By incorporating neutral tones complemented by bold black accents, the space will achieve a sophisticated, comfortable, and inviting ambiance.
