Catwalk x Interiors - Issue 2: Suited and booted (for cocktail drinking)
It’s funny how inspiration really can come from anywhere. It’s not like I’ve been able to visit grand houses, museums or art galleries of late, like you, I’ve been making my own fun.
Catwalk x Interiors - Issue 1: Berry and Bright
For a while now, I’ve wanted to create my own magazine pages, curating what I believe to be an important mix of items, and showing how my love for the fashion, colours and shapes that I’m drawn to has a direct influence on my home interior choices. And I think what we see on the catwalk, guides a lot of us when it come to interior design.
Damn Cool Baubles 2020; Christmas is NOT Cancelled!
This year, Christmas might look a little different and yes, we’ll need to toast it on a much smaller scale, but it’s by no means cancelled.
Damn Cool Velvet; My Edited List of the Most Luxurious Fabric
Velvet is my personal fabric of choice, and it’s currently everywhere. Donning cushions, curtains, upholstery, stationary, handbags and even jewellery, the fabric that was once the preference of grandmas UK wide, has now become a designers go-to texture.

So what do what the Dulux team have in store for us in 2021? A shade called ‘Brave Ground’; a warm neutral that connects us to our foundations. Creative Director Marianne Shillingford describes the colour as ‘the mother earth of colours’, a soothing, grounding colour that reconnects us with nature in a non obvious way, from the ground up.
Bedding; How to mix and match to get your perfect ‘set’
Discuss: Why not create the ‘set’ of your liking by buying separates, instead of what the buyer has pulled together for you? We buy separates for our wardrobe all the time so why not apply the same thinking when buying for our home, after all, we’re ‘dressing’ it for ourselves! So let’s add our character and individuality.
DO YOU LIKE GOOD MUSIC? the music we love and how it influences us
So, ‘Do You Like Good Music’? I have a print in my bedroom with these opening lyrics from the track Sweet Soul Music by Arthur Conley, and it got me thinking about the importance of music and how what we listen to influences our design aesthetic.
INTERIORS, BUT MAKE IT FASHION
With a background and upbringing in fashion and design, my interiors and styling methods are inevitably influenced by the fashion industry, particularly in terms of colour palettes and texture. I often resonate with the photography used in the fashion adverts within the front few pages of magazines, for the stunning use of colour and pattern in the clothing, and environment they’re shot in.
MEMPHIS DESIGN: GROUNDBREAKING, AWESOME & RIGHT UP MY STREET
What is ‘good taste’ and who decides it? Generally speaking, magazines, influencers and the media inform us what’s on the catwalk, therefore what’s in, or coming to the shops so we’re fairly dictated to by trends whether we know it or not, quite simply because that’s what’s currently available to buy.
Are you sitting comfortably? Top 10 Accent Armchairs
What is more satisfying than curling up in a sumptuous armchair with a hot drink and good book at the weekend, or at the end of a long day?

OH SO FRESH; CURRENT STATE OF MIND + INTERIOR INSPIRATION
I’m sure, like me, being indoors for the past 4 weeks has got you dreaming about sunshine and escapism, am I right? As we all know, staying home and staying safe is of paramount importance right now and it’s got me thinking yet again of importance of our homes.
Celebrating Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2020; Classic Blue
It’s one of the most anticipated and exciting times of the year for me; the unveiling of the Pantone colour that will inspire product and design trends for the coming year.
Get ready to Christmas Party like it’s 1990-something
Deck the halls with pink Christmas trees, neon wrapping and disco balls – this year I’m feeling a 90’s Christmas knees-up and it’s time to get the party started!
THE BEST OF PINK!
Millennial Pink is the gift that keeps on giving! I’m seeing the trend still going strong in some really cool products and I love it. I don’t at all think it’s odd to have a pink room in the house, and anyway this board was put together more around the totally incredible Carnival Pale rug by Paul Smith for Rug Company.
