Design Finds | Photowall Bedroom Wallpaper

The most striking design feature in my recent bedroom makeover is undoubtedly the Dark Emerald Green Watercolour Wallpaper I installed behind the bed. My flat is a rented modern new build, and the bedroom was a blank canvas. I wanted the space to feel modern with a hint of boho, which meant subtle texture, raw materials and a limited colour palette. I also wanted the design to pack a punch. Wallpaper can be renter friendly, and it’s a great way…

ORC Week 5 | A Midcentury-Inspired Bed

ORC Week 5 | A Midcentury-Inspired Bed

It’s One Room Challenge Week Five, with reveal day set for next week. The UK has just gone into a second lockdown, and everything is delayed. I can’t get the wallpaper hung for at least another two weeks, and there are shipping delays on the remaining furniture and the lighting. I started looking for speedier alternatives, but ultimately decided to take a few extra weeks and finish with a space doesn’t involve cutting corners. This is where the room is…

It’s One Room Challenge time again. The ORC is a biannual event where a whole bunch of interior “influencers” transform a room over six weeks – a bedroom in my case. We post progress deets every week. It’s about community, not competition, which I love, and it’s a melting pot of gorgeous design ideas and DIY inspiration.

Eclectic Edwardian Living Room Design, East Sheen

Eclectic Edwardian Living Room Design, East Sheen

It’s One Room Challenge reveal day. Over the last eight weeks, I’ve been working to make the living room in our Edwardian house brighter, happier, and more functional. I’m calling the overall vibe “Global Eclectic.” The house is rented and the budget was tight, so it’s not the most dramatic makeover. And Covid sprang a few shipping delays on me, so it’s not 100% finished. But it’s close enough to share. Learn more about Emmerson & Fifteenth’s interior design services here.…

ORC Week 6 | Living Room Shelf Styling

I’m six weeks into the One Room Challenge, doing up the living room in our rented house in London. This week I’m talking about the shelfie situation, and hanging the monster TV over the fireplace. The goal for this room was to make it lighter, brighter, happier and more livable, and it’s on the way. I have a tight budget, and am limited in design choices because it’s a rental property. As a result, it’s not the most dramatic design…
