Working from home is something many people dream of and I know from personal experience how great it can be, but also what some of the pitfalls are. I know…
Spring Wallpaper Roundup
If the change in Seasons and warmer weather has ignited your love of doing up your home, then you might like today's roundup of great Spring wallapers, ideal for any room in your home. Whilst you might be expecting bright colours and spring blooms on these prints, I've actually chosen a few more unusual designs, many with a retro feel that offer something a little different to the norm. Mostly contemporary, they embody muted shades, natural colours and something a little more out of the ordinary. I do hope you'll be inspired.
Hotel chic for your bedroom
A few weeks back I stayed at a swanky hotel for work. I'm usually more of a B&B or Airbnb type as I prefer quirky and homely interiors and homes with personality as opposed to 'designed' rooms. However, every once in a while it's just lovely to indulge something a little more luxurious and have room service available, don't you think? And that made me think.
10 Style Lessons You Learn in Your 30’s
Ahh yes, can you remember your first 'grown up' place? Okay, so perhaps in your 20's, you might have had your Auntie's hand me down sofa and those plates your mum gave you and maybe the rest of the furniture was from a cheap Scandinavian superstore but it doesn't mean it wasn't great, right? Just having your own space was enough to make the place feel like home and not having to worry about answering to your parents was a novelty in and of itself.
7 Creative Bedroom Ideas to Try This Weekend
When it comes to our bedrooms, most of us will naturally go with décor that's calm and serene. And of course, that makes sense when we want our bedrooms to be a sanctuary away from the rest of our house - somewhere we can go at the end of the day and recharge our batteries. However, what often happens is that we try so hard to make our bedrooms look 'calm' that they can very easily cross the line to 'boring'. And if there's one thing that's not very enjoyable at all it's a boring, bland, flat room with no personality.
Cleaning your home the natural way
I know, I know, it's not Spring yet and just a few rays of sunshine don't mean that we can't still be in for some heavy winter weather. So really, my thoughts should be on cosying up and drinking tea rather than spring cleaning. However, it's just those few rays of sunshine that I actually need to get me into the right mood for something fresh and clean.

Smart Bedroom Storage Ideas
Does your main bedroom become a bit of a dumping ground? It should be a place of calm and peace; a haven to which you can escape after a long, hard day. Very often though, as in my case, it becomes the place where things get left, piled and abandoned. In a family home, it's often a space that the whole family share, particularly when the children are younger, and so it fills up with laundry, paperwork, toys, shopping purchases, clutter and just 'stuff'. Would you love to be able to clear the clutter, and find a home for all those bits that hang around for weeks? Well, what you need is some clever storage ideas, and it just so happens, we have exactly that.
Decorating with grey
It might be Spring and the pages of magazines are awash with pastels and colour, flowers are everywhere and the sun gives everything a vibrant hue, but that doesn't mean that colour is necessarily to everybody's taste. I myself am not the most colourful person when it comes to interiors, so I do know a thing or two about how to make neutrals work and grey in particular. Grey is a sophisticated and calm colour (even if it isn't really a colour as such and sits somewhere between black and white) which lends a touch of elegance to a room. It is the perfect background colour as doesn't draw much attention to itself - unless you decide to paint a whole room in a very dark grey which would make quite an impact.
