Despite the fact that I’ve been writing about interiors for years I’ve felt surprisingly overwhelmed by the prospect of designing a new kitchen for our home. There are so many practical, technical and functional details to consider. My moodboard has shifted from greens to warm, soft neutrals and I think we finally (almost) have a plan. I’ve been inspired by a beautiful new trends book by Li Edelkoort which was sent to me by @caesarstone_uk and which I’ve written about in a new post over on the blog. Will we go contemporary or classic? Dark or light? And most importantly, will I change my mind.... again? 😂 You’ll just have to wait and see, but in the meantime if you’re interested in finding out all about the latest trends in kitchen surface design head over to the blog.
CAMOUFLAGE ——————————————— He’s fed up of this cold and rain and probably hoping I’ll get the woodburner going this evening.
I’m so lucky to have my own dedicated office to work from at home.This room has been a bit of a goldfish bowl up until now though as we haven’t had any blinds or curtains up at the windows since we finished decorating in here. That’s all about to change as I’m working with a lovely company who are going to install shutters for us later this month. I can’t wait to share them with you.
Just back from the loveliest afternoon at my friend Alex’s house for her baby shower. Spending the afternoon with a group of smart, funny, beautiful women was just what I needed to lift my spirits after a week in which the ongoing dust and renovation mess at home has brought me down at times. This was the table setting (made by one of Alex’s friends). Isn’t it beautiful? And yes, her home is pretty amazing too.
What’s top of your home wish list? For me it was’t an en suite, a dressing room or even an extra bedroom, but high ceilings. 1930s houses, in common with most modern homes, tend to have relatively low ceilings, and finding statement lighting that doesn’t require a substantial drop can be harder than you think. We really wanted our kitchen extension to be a bright light filled space and we also wanted it to be able to accommodate a pendant light with a long cable. By creating a vaulted ceiling we’ve definitely achieved that. Now we just need to decide on a light! #designhunterrenovations
You can search through all the paint charts and swatches you like, but nature delivers up the perfect colour tone every time. Can someone just capture this and put it in a tin for me please? #rhschelsea2019
Where’s the sun gone? I’m spending the afternoon editing some of the dozens of images I took on a balmy day at RHS Chelsea last week and I’ve had to put the heating on here in the office. It’s freezing! . GIVEAWAY | If you haven’t yet entered, a reminder that I’ve teamed up with @heals_furniture and @anglepoise to give away this Anglepoise 90 Mini Mini lamp. It’s cute and compact, but also practical as it’s powered by USB making it perfect for either a desk or bedside table. Scroll back a few images for all the details of how to enter.
One of the things I’ve realised throughout our renovation has been how important it is to decide on a vision for your project at the beginning, and then try to stick to a consistent colour, material and finish palette throughout. It’s not as easy as it sounds because unexpected issues arise and sometimes practical constraints or a limited budget mean that you have to make compromises, but the homes I most admire tend to be the ones that achieve this. . The location house I shot at last week is one such home. Built around a sunken concrete courtyard it was inspired by the work of Tadao Ando, and recently won a RIBA award. The owner had a very clear vision for what he wanted to a achieve and the result is a house that is awe inspiring in scale and uncompromising in its design, use of materials and level of detail. I know we don’t all have the same kind of budget to play with and that raw concrete may not be to everyone’s taste, but I am full of admiration for what has been achieved in this house.
