    I have to come clear… I have an addiction… I cannot stop buying wall art… Prints, paintings, posters, etc. It’s becoming an issue and some of my friends make fun of me saying that I could open a gallery if I wanted. I just cannot help it, I love curating bits and bobs for walls…

    As I mentioned a few weeks back, I developed an obsession for black walls! So I took my courage in both hands and I went on the quest for the perfect hue of black as soon as I got the keys of the house. What you need to avoid with black paint is black paint.…

    Fact, I spend way too much time on Pinterest. After hours, browsing on there I became slightly obsessed with black walls (read extremely obsessed with black walls!). So much so that I decided I would have at least one black wall in my new place. And I did it! The final result is here, but first…

    I would like to think that I am doing alright at redecorating my house, but I have to give full credits to all the books I read on the topic to educate myself. Patterns, colours, shapes, the balance of space- I wouldn’t be where I am today without hours of reading. So below is the…

    As I mentioned a little while ago, British new builds have so little storage that you need to be very creative and make the most of any negative space available. In my case, I had the space you can see below that just had an armchair and decorative cases. I really wanted to 1) give that…

    Time to show you the updated dining area! As I mentioned in my previous post I wanted to create something contemporary and fresh with a rustic twist. Overall, I would describe my style as contemporary mid-century modern, which hopefully I translated successfully in this space. Now let’s go into the details, my little designer assistant cannot…

    The main challenge with new builds in England is the absence of storage and the main challenge with our living-space in the new house is the absence of walls. As you can see on the picture below it is completely open plan with double-height ceilings. I therefore needed to create in this space a wine-cellar/bar-cart/book-storage, while…

    Our dining room isn’t really a room but a dining space as our living area is all open plan. For this area I wanted to create something contemporary and fresh with a rustic twist. Below is a picture of the space I am re-designing (apology for the low quality, it came from the estate agent).…
