We’re in week three of the One Room Challenge, and I have finally finished the DIY upholstered kids’ beds that I started working on months ago. This is not my first rodeo with upholstering beds – I hacked an Ikea one here too. These are a little more technical with the addition of nail head trim, but still a straightforward DIY. I spent a while searching for cheap bed frames that had straight lines and no footboard. I don’t recommend…

This year was one of the first we haven’t hosted overnight guests for Christmas, but it got me thinking about how we’d do it in this house if we needed to. We don’t have a dedicated guest room, and I know we’re not the only ones, especially in London where houses are small and mortgages are big. So, with a focus on small space solutions, here’s a little guide to how to make overnight guests feel at home, even if…

I’m part of a Mood Board Collective, where several interiors bloggers take the same inspiration image and use it to create a mood board. This month, I chose the inspiration image; a navy, coral and gold colour scheme that I used to create an industrial dining room. It’s spawned some gorgeous room designs from the other guys too. Emmerson & Fifteenth | Glam Industrial Dining Room Mood Board I love what everyone came up with month. For my mood board,…

I’m joining a group of interiors bloggers this month for a recurring mood board design challenge. Each go, one of us picks an inspiration photo as a starting point for a mood board. There are no other parameters – the design can go anywhere. Today’s mood board inspiration image has a bright colour palette of tangerine orange and mint. Emmerson & Fifteenth | Office Mood Board I created a feminine office space using an eclectic mix of styles, with a…
