5 Ways to Reset Your Home
As the days start to get shorter, it’s time to think about resetting our homes for autumn and winter.
We are joined this month by Poppy Duffree of Organised Interiors who has compiled five steps to help you prepare and make sure your space is relaxing and inviting as we move into the winter months.
Decorating your teenager’s university bedroom
So, the day has finally come and your darling child is off to university! (blog post about what to turn their vacated room into to follow 😊 ) It is all very exciting until you arrive at their accomodation and find their room to be nothing more than a bland soulless box. Practical is the kindest description that can be given with the space they are presented with.
So how can you transform the space in a cost-efficient way? Obviously you will need to focus on items that you can bring with you but that doesn’t mean you should just go to your local Wilko and panic buy everything in there. We can make big impactful changes without spending huge amounts of money.
Dopamine Decor
For the uninitiated, dopamine is a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger which when released into the brain induces feelings of happiness.
Dopamine dressing has been much talked about this year, it’s a simple concept really, it involves wearing clothes you love that boost your mood. They tend to be brightly coloured, sometimes involve colour drenching or mixing clashing prints. Well now I am pleased to introduce to you “Dopamine Décor!”
It is really the most joyful interior trend of recent years, forget pristine and intentional curation – this is all about items that spark joy, colour pairings that invigorate you and basically anything that pus a smile upon your face! Throw out your rule book and start embracing your true self ….. BUT ……….
How do I do this I hear you cry, well, here is my guide to dopamine dressing your home
Designing Your Dream Kitchen where to begin
Firstly, how very exciting!
Cooking in a kitchen that has been designed precisely to your needs is such a privilege and one that a huge percentage of the population never get to experience BUT where on earth do you begin? You may have spent hours on Pinterest and have a heap of magazine tear outs piling up but how do you translate these ideas into a fully functioning kitchen that works perfectly for you AND fits your budget?
I have been lucky enough to design 2 kitchens in my homes and have written this handy guide to get you started. Have you got a cuppa and perhaps a biscuit or 2? Then I shall begin……
The kitchen and how it is used has undergone a radical transition in the recent years, where it was once used my one member of the household – usually the female, it is now considered the hub of the home and used by the whole family not just to cook but to entertain, eat, work and even relax.
