Stop wondering what colour to paint your walls. Start thinking how to add depth, dimension and tactility.

Because the most beautiful interiors are built on layers of texture and contrast, not paint alone.

Why your home doesn’t look like your Pinterest board - and it’s not just down to time or money - although they obviously help.

I’ve launched The Considered Home Gap™ a diagnostic framework to identify the drivers of dissatisfaction and inertia around home design, so clients can better understand where their challenges lie and how they can move forward.

If there’s one thing my lovely clients have taught me over the years, it’s that the problems we’ve all faced are pretty universal and share the same causes.

The gaps are - vision, legacy, evolution and curation.

I’ve created a diagnostic tool - let’s call it a questionnaire- to help clients pinpoint the gap they’re in, and how to close it in order to achieve the beautifully considered home they dream of.

Why your home doesn’t look like your Pinterest board - and it’s not down to time or money, although they help!

One thing my lovely clients have taught me over the years is that the true drivers of dissatisfaction and inertia around home design are universally down to one or more of these four things;

Evolution
Legacy
Vision
Curation

I call this state of being stuck The Considered Home Gap.

The ability to identify what’s holding you back can bring clarity to frame a mindset shift and give you the focus to move forward.

I’ve developed a Considered Home Gap analysis tool to help you uncover your gap or gaps (you may be in more than one).

Discover your gap by clicking the link in my bio.

Our master en-suite is painted a punchy jade green to tone with the original mosaic Victorian floor tiles. (Swipe left)

It’s impossible to know whether a bathroom featured in this house when it was first built in 1861, although according to Chat GPT the date syncs with very early bathrooms & the encaustic geometric rich jade tiles reflect what was popular, so it is possible.

It may of course have been added later, either way it’s over 100 years old and quite damaged in places, ‘repaired’ over the years with badly filled cement but the preloved appearance is really quite stunning (although not to everyone’s taste, my Mum commented ‘such a shame you haven’t replaced this old floor’ when she first visited. 😊)

Finding a paint to work with it was really quite a challenge as it’s quite a bold colour and I wanted something that allowed it floor to pop, without competing with it.

Antique Jade 81 was the perfect pairing, together with Tiffany encaustic tiles in the shower.

All the plumbing runs around the perimeter of the room, behind cladded walls. The shower stands on a plinth to hide the pipe work underneath and the bath waste flows down into a flex pipe fed sideways into the adjacent wall.

A day for celebration - fabulous images of my home shot last week have landed, courtesy of 📸♥️ and I’ve today launched an interior design methodology I’ve been working on for some time, The Considered Home Gap.

This is a diagnostic framework identifying the common drivers of confusion & inertia around home improvements, so clients can understand where their challenges lie and what they need to do to move forward.

If there’s one thing my lovely clients have taught me over the years, it’s that the problems we’ve all faced are pretty universal and share the same causes.

I’ve created a separate account for , which currently has two followers, both of them me, do not feel in any way obliged to give this a follow as I’ll share developments on here and honestly who needs to be following any more accounts. If my methodology stands for anything, it’s editing and curation.

I’m working on a diagnostic tool (let’s call it a questionnaire ) to help clients figure out the Gap they’re in and how to close it, to achieve the beautifully considered home they dream of, so there will be more of that to come.

Meanwhile thank you to for making my house look fully considered (however designed it is, shoot styling means piles of everyday belongings out of shot) and for professional images that I can feel proud of, although note to self - and anyone else who needs to hear it - if the camera puts weight on you, the balloon jean does nobody any favours.

Happy Tuesday xx

Revisiting my Spring Home edit, this time frame by frame.
These are the new pieces I’m not so quietly obsessing over (*posts a second time) because Spring has arrived and I’m here for it.
SImple dog walks along the river have bought so much joy already this week.
What are you loving so far this Spring?

The Butier’s Pantry - one of my favourite transformations in our own Victorian house renovation.
The ‘before’ images show a previous iteration of the room long after the original 1861 version, the pseudo wood panelling in fact just brown painted pine.
The original shutters had also been painted brown to ‘resemble’ wood, of course these are real wood however we painted them and the early cast iron radiator black, to blend in with the monochrome scheme.
We reinstated a fireplace - not functional - to create a focal point and added built in cabinetry and wall panelling to create storage & add interest.
A lot goes into a room to make to look like it’s always been there. 🤗

✨Thrilled to have a project in Country Homes & Interiors February issue ✨

My lovely client first contacted me during Covid in 2020, for help updating her breakfast room.

She was based in Northampton; up until this point my work had been very local to Twickenham, however Covid had changed everything so I had just started offering a design planning service to clients beyond my own area.

‘Your Space at your pace’ this Design Plan service was initially introduced as a remote option to give clients the ideas, resources and confidence to transform a room themselves in their own time, with a site visit preferable but not essential.

As restrictions lifted and a site visit became feasible I travelled to Northampton once, to do a site survey and take pictures, before working remotely on a transformation plan, which was handed over a few weeks later.

Since then I have had the pleasure of returning to Northampton many times to create design plans for other rooms in the house, as well as acting as a design consultant across other areas of the property.

Thank you to my lovely client Sam, whom I now consider a friend, for her support and trust in me over the years.

If you want the process to be enjoyable - and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be 😊 - these are the steps you should be taking now to avoid renovation stress & costly mistakes.
Poor planning means rushed decisions and hiring a builder just because he’s available.
