I’m opening a small founding beta cohort for a 4-month Real-World Interior Design Studio Apprenticeship starting 1st April. It’s a practical, studio-style program where beginners learn how to run a real interior design project from first client contact to final handover. I’ve attached a short PDF with full details. If this resonates, message me privately.

Calm luxury comes from simplicity, softness, and intention. It’s not about expensive materials — it’s about choosing what feels aligned. What colours or textures are inspiring you this week?

Every material you choose, every light source, every colour — they all influence how you feel long before you consciously notice it. When designing a space, ask yourself: “What emotion do I want this room to hold?” Start with the feeling, then build the design around it.

I want to share something I’ve been working on. I’ve just released my first short course: How to Think Before You Design It’s not about trends, styles, or decoration. It’s about learning how to think before design begins, so decisions feel calm, structured, and aligned instead of overwhelming. This framework comes directly from my real project work and from patterns I’ve seen with clients over the years. If you’re renovating, furnishing, or planning changes to your home (or future home), this will help you slow down and approach decisions with clarity.

I’d love to get to know who’s here. Please introduce yourself in the comments:– Are you a student, designer, or design lover?– Where are you based?– What drew you to soulful / intuitive interiors? There’s no right or wrong answer — just share what feels true for you :)
