Yes I know I live a glamorous life as an interior designer.......but this is how I spend my morning - very cold and wet surveying this (amazing!) house - it has not been lived in or touched for years & it will be a long process to get it anywhere near its former glory - but I guarantee it will get there. So I'm guessing your home isn't in as much need of improvement as this? Here to help! No judgement!

Hi, I do have a question! I have a lovely - but aging - Kitchen which Eily was very involved in designing almost 18 years ago ❤️. While it works fantastically for us, we think this over-island light has had it's day! We are thinking of replacing with two or three hanging pendant lights. Does that sound like a good idea?! Would love your thoughts! Thank you, Gill

People delay making decisions in their homes because they’re afraid of getting it wrong. But staying stuck is also a decision. Sometimes the right starting point is simply: “What’s bothering me most in this room?” Too dark? No storage? Feels unfinished? Furniture doesn’t fit? No personality? or - it's just a mess 🙄 That can be the first step in getting everything to improve.

Welcome to all our new members! I know you are all friends and family (so far!), and some may not be delighted with the deliberate cacography in the website title 🙄 — but, as the kids say, bear with! I would love this place to grow into a genuine community where members can come to ask questions about what they are planning for their homes. Most of you will have been clients of mine at some stage, so I believe you wouldn’t be here unless you felt I’m pretty good at what I do. So please feel free to post your questions about whatever dilemmas you may have (home-wise — for other things, there are other professionals around! 😅). YOU are a founding member, so this community will always be free for you. In the future, that may change — so invite your friends now, so they can be part of this new (free) adventure too.

This is an example from a client: Which colour to choose? Pink (She LOVED it - He was unsure) Charcoal (He LOVED it- She absolutely not!) Sage Green (They were both ok with it but really no-one was in love with it) Final Decision? A slight change of colour to a grey/pink - very sophisticated, won't date & really works with lots of other elements they had already. Outcome - very happy family.
