I have just designed this master bedroom for a holiday home in beautiful Mossel Bay, taking inspiration from the surrounding landscape with a palette of warm earthy tones, natural textures and rich timbers.
My client loves pieces that are a little unexpected, so I introduced sculptural furniture and statement accessories to give the room personality while keeping the overall feel calm, sophisticated and restful. The scheme flows seamlessly from the adjoining living spaces but has been softened to create a more tranquil retreat. The feature mural forms the focal point of the room, framed above timber panelling to create a bespoke headboard backdrop. The design subtly references South African landscapes and vegetation, bringing a sense of place into the room without feeling obvious or overly themed. To help my clients visualise the finished design before work begins, I’ve created a series of computer generated images, plans and design boards. These illustrate my proposed concept and styling direction and are not intended to be an exact representation of the completed room. Let me know your thoughts!

I’ve loved working on another project for some wonderful repeat clients in Newport. This is the fourth room I’ve designed for them over the past 13 years, fitted in between my South African project.The north facing hallway currently feels dark, with a heavy brown carpet adding to the gloom. Thankfully, the original black and white geometric floor tiles remain in great condition beneath and will be professionally cleaned and revealed, instantly restoring the home’s character.
My aim was to respect the traditional architecture while introducing a contemporary feel. I’ve colour drenched the walls, ceiling and woodwork in Little Greene Slaked Lime Mid (149) to create a warm, light neutral backdrop ideal for a north facing space where cooler whites can appear flat. I wanted the hallway to feel like a gallery, letting bold, colourful artwork take centre stage. Knowing my clients love modern interiors, I’ve layered in contemporary lighting, sculptural accessories and organic forms to contrast beautifully with the geometry of the original floor tiles, creating an eclectic mix of old and new. Black framed artwork and statement lighting echo the black detailing within the floor, tying the whole scheme together. To help my clients visualise the design, I uploaded photos of the existing hallway into AI and recreated the space using my chosen furniture, lighting, colours and accessories. It’s amazing how realistic the finished images can be, but they certainly don’t happen at the click of a button. Creating the final visuals took plenty of time, refinement and repeated prompts to achieve the look and perspectives I had in mind.

I’ve had a busy few weeks behind the scenes as I’ve been developing the design proposals for my client’s beautiful holiday home in Mossel Bay, South Africa. 🇿🇦
I declined my client’s offer of a trip over and I made the decision to work remotely using detailed architectural plans, elevations and estate agents imagery, but I’ll have the exciting opportunity to visit the property once the project is complete in the new year. The existing interior feels cold, stark and lacks the warmth and personality the home deserves. After meeting with my client, it became clear we shared exactly the same vision, which is always the best way to start a project! We’re introducing a palette of earthy tones including burnt orange, green, warm beige, terracotta and natural timber to create a space that feels grounded, inviting and effortlessly relaxed. The design direction blends Mid Century Modern with Afrocentric influences, softened by organic forms and balanced with bold geometric details. Think sculptural furniture, natural textures, handcrafted ceramics, woven elements and artisan crafted pieces that celebrate African craftsmanship and bring depth, soul and authenticity to the interiors. The aim is to create a home that feels timeless yet contemporary, layered yet calm, and deeply connected to its surroundings. I can’t wait to bring this vision to life!

HALLWAY REDESIGN BEFORE AND AFTER:
My client expressed a need for additional storage in her hall and requested the inclusion of a shoe cupboard. I recommended a custom built cupboard by Chiawood that spans the width of the hallway, beautifully complemented by the existing stained glass window as a backdrop. To enhance the design, I advised removing the PVC window sill and constructing the cupboard to match the height of the window, allowing the top of the unit to serve as a new window sill, creating a seamless integration into the space. I’m thrilled with Chiawood Design for creating the exact look I requested. Given the dominant presence of the stained glass window, I believe the interior colour scheme needed to reflect the green, mustard, and red hues found within it. I incorporated these colours while ensuring the overall effect remains understated and not overly vibrant. The design of the cupboard and the addition of paneling to the staircase are traditional, aligning with the period style of the home. However, my client wished to avoid a space that feels excessively classic or traditional, opting instead for a harmonious blend of modern and vintage elements. Recent updates to the internal doors, which have been replaced with modern oak designs, necessitate a thoughtful mix of styles to create cohesion. My client was approving of the Tropical forest wallpaper that I sourced which perfectly complements the stained glass colours. To balance the vibrancy of the wallpaper, I proposed a muted, sludgy tone for the cupboard and staircase, with Farrow and Ball’s “Pigeon” being an ideal choice. The existing warm wood chevron block flooring, combined with the proposed natural loop wool carpet, has added warmth to the area, whilst antique brass accessories elevate the overall aesthetic.

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!
