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.

You don’t always need a full redesign to transform a workspace. In this project, we uplifted the space by: • Introducing one bold accent colou • Updating pendant & layered lighting • Swapping cushions + soft furnishings • Creating a clear lounge zone Small changes → big shift in energy, focus, and mood. If you were refreshing an office, what would you change first?

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?

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 understand who is here and what you’re currently navigating. Tell me in the comments:• Are you a student, designer, or design lover?• What’s one thing you’re currently struggling with in interiors or design decisions? No pressure to be polished. Simple and honest is perfect. 🤍
