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.

Artificial Intelligence in Interior Design

Recently I had the pleasure of attending a presentation through The Interior Designers Hub on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Interior Design. Delivered by Vanessa Edwards @practically.fabulous it would be fair to say that at the beginning of her presentation there was a group of very worried Interior Designers who all believed that we would soon be out of a job, by the end of it we were definitely less worried and actually quite intrigued and interested to have a go ourselves!

Learning

Learning

I was about to start this blog by saying that I have always loved learning but then I paused; that isn’t 100% accurate. I actually really didn’t enjoy learning at school. As a child I found sitting still for hours and around other people incredibly difficult. It wasn’t until I entered Sixth Form and had more freedom to choose from a wider selection of subjects that I really started to enjoy learning. The subject that really ignited my joy of learning was at A level studying Psychology, which is ironic because it wasn’t my first choice – I had started studying Biology and just found it impossible to understand what the teacher was saying let alone understand the complex processes she was trying to teach. I begged to change; by chance a space had opened in the Psychology class and I convinced them to let me switch. I am so pleased they did because I then went onto read Applied Psychology & Computing at Bournemouth University. It is difficult to accurately explain just how much I love Psychology, in particular social psychology. What I loved most about it is that it is subjective, highly nuanced and there isn’t one right answer – which is the same for interior design.
