INTERIORS WITH STYLE + SUBSTANCE

Whether you want a quick room refresh or your home re-imagined from top to toe, I will work with you to create stylish, balanced spaces you'll love to live in. I provide approachable, affordable interior design and styling services tailored to your individual requirements.

My design ethos:

It's flexible. Every project and every budget is unique, and it's up to you how much support I provide. 

It's liveable. We'll discuss your lifestyle to make sure your new space is as practical as it is beautiful. 

It's all about you. I want to know what makes you tick, how you want to use your space and how you'd like to feel when you're in it. 

Get in touch to discuss how I can help, find out more about my services, or view some of my work.

Hands up if you're also doing that thing where you're like oooh hey look it's 6 o'clock in the afternoon and there's still a little tiny just-about-visible sliver of light in the sky way down there woooo oh yeaahh SPRING IS COMING BABY GET THE DECK CHAIRS OUT 🙌 I know it's only February and maybe it's because there's been so much sunshine and I've seen some daffodils in the shops but I'm really feeling the pre-pre-pre-spring vibes 🌱 Also here's a before and after of our front hall/stairs. Just because. . . . . .

I bet you weren't expecting to find this face on your feed, were you?! I hope it didn't give you too much of a fright. I took a short break from posting in January to focus on my business, some important life things and my new year's resolutions (don't worry - posting more pics of my face is defo not one of them). But hey guys 👋 I'm back with my big ol' face on your screen. And why is my face on your screen? Because I've just launched the Restoring Lansdowne Blog with a post that has nothing to do with interiors and everything to do with me. Cringey, I know. Brothels, pictures of cats and the word pantaloupes might also feature. But no, I rarely share much about me and I figure some of you might want to know who I am before you take any time out of your day to read my future interiors-related ramblings, so there you go. Link in my bio if you want to read. I hope you're well and keeping warm (or cool depending on which weather extreme you find yourself in) 🖤 And thank you to my lovely pal @lexden_home for the photo from my concept design launch party in Nov @woolwichcontemporaryprintfair 😘 . . . . . #yikesitsmyface #newgirlontheblog #newbyblogger #newblog #interiorsblog #londonblogger #designblog #interiorblog #homeimprovementblog #homeimprovements #victorianrenovation #renovationblog #diyblog #interiorstylingblog #bloggerlondon #designblogger #bloglaunch #interiorsblog #victorianhome #renovationblogger #vintagemodern #expatblogger #mustardtrend #ochretrend #mustardyellow #mustardmood
So I may have gotten a tiiiiiiny bit carried away @columbiaroad flower market foliage stall yesterday morning 🙄 I arranged it all in floral foam to keep it all fresh so 🤞 it will last until Christmas. Hope you've all had the loveliest of Mondays 🖤 . . . . . #christmasmantle #christmasmantel #christmasmantledecor #festivedecor #christmasdiy #festivefoliage #floralfoam #wannabeflorist #christmaslight #christmaslondon #homeware #decoratedtree #christmasdecor #christmastreelighting #christmastreedecorating #balsamhill #balsamhilluk #mantlepiece #frompaperchase #victorianchristmas #MADEdesign #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #myhmhome #floraldecor #christmasowl #myxmastree #xmastrees #colorfulchristmas #woodlandchristmas #christmasstyling
Well there's a mini Christmas tree and some gold baubles in a jar and that's about as Christmassy as this room has ever been. Festive decorations + cats is a tricky combo that I definitely haven't mastered yet but I'm determined not to let the fluffy menaces win. Here we have Mr Dukes eyeing up the new additions to the mantle and it won't be long before he's up there gnawing on the tree, pawing the baubles off and probably conking himself out with a big metal star to the head. There are actually a few new things in this shot, most of which were #gifted for my recent concept design by the brilliant brands below and I mean, really, it's only right I should give them a permanent home. Happy Friday lovelies and happy decorating / shopping / fretting / panicking / sobbing uncontrollably depending on the current state of your holiday to-do list. I'm at fretting stage but panicking is just around the proverbial Christmas corner I'm sure 😧 Rug - @modernrugsuk Faux fur cushions - @helenmooreengland Black trunks - @noholdenback Bundleberry collection from @qvcuk (gifted following their recent launch event) Mini Xmas tree & pot - @patchplants . . . . . #periodstyle #periodhomestyle #victorianhome #victorianhouses #midcenturydesign #blackchristmas #renovated #monochromechristmas #industrialdecor #bedroomstyle #bedroominspiration #masterbedroomdecor #masterbedroom #renovacion #myvictorianhome #whitewalls #greybedroom #modernvintage #rustichomedecor #midmodern #renovationmaison #stylemix #bedroominterior #christmasdecoration #victorianproperty #fixerupperinspired #fixerupperhgtv #christmashomedecor
Hey hey I have a wreath and it's not even quite December yet. I feel so ahead of the Christmas decorating game, and for the first time ever I might add. I had such a fun evening making this festive adoornment (see what I did there) with my local Insta pals @the_wooden_hill @threeboysandapinkbath and some random called wee Ed from South of the river. Wherever that is. And he kept calling me Ian... Only joking @littleedwardian_73 😉 I think I was going for a modern asymmetric look with the wreath but it may have just turned out looking kind of um #modernwonky? Check out the other's feeds as their handiwork (and front doors) are total 🖤 Anyway I got busy with the Brasso this afternoon to get the door hardware spruced (see what I did there?) up before doing some snapping at #goldenhour. Happy Friday lovelies - hope you're all relaxing somewhere with a glass of something tasty right about now. P.S. Swipe to see what our front door looked like before. This was the very last of our reno projects on the house, completed this time last year 🙌 . . . . . #festivefrontage #notthatkindoffrontage #frontdoordecor #frontdoorcolor #frontdoors #wreathsofinstagram #christmaswreath #wreathlove #holidaywreath #doorhardware #doorsoflondon #victorianhouse #victorianrenovation #victorianterrace #frontdoorgoals #frontdoorview #frontdoormakeover #curbappeal #victoriantiles #victorianreno #victorianera #homeimprovements #diyprojects #christmasdoor #christmascrafting #diywreath #diywreaths
So, I did a thing! Thank you so much to the team @woolwichcontemporaryprintfair for inviting me to create a concept design for their 'art & interiors' space and to all the brilliant brands who loaned or donated products to make it happen. I've listed all the sources below and tagged the incredible artists behind the beautiful contemporary prints on the walls. The idea was to design a modern but restful living space around some of my favourite prints being exhibited at this year's fair - a living space that would also gel with the industrial history and architecture of the amazing Woolwich Arsenal venue. Happy Monday - hope you're all having a good one 🖤 Paint: @farrowandball 'De Nimes' and 'Railings' Sofa: @madedotcom Rug: @modernrugsuk Pendant lights: @industville Faux fur cushions: @helenmooreengland Plants & pots: @forest_london Coffee table: @norr11 Bookcase: @madedotcom Dining table and bench: @madedotcom Dining chairs: @norr11uk Tableware: @madedotcom Velvet & cotton cushions @hmhome . . . . . #winterprinterior #wcpf18 #FaBnewcolours #myfabhome #farrowandball #hmxme #madedesign #helenmooreengland #denimes #norr11 #contemporaryprintmaking #artforinteriors #artfairs #londonart #conceptdesign #hyggestyle #warminterior #mustardyellow #ochre #moderninteriors #moderninteriordesign #luxuryhomewares #edgydesign #industrialstyle #woolwicharsenal #londoninteriordesigner #londondesigner #londoncreatives #homedesignlondon
Happy...whatever day of the week it is! I'm sharing this bog shot in honour of the bathroom being positively sparkling clean for the first time in longer than I'm going to admit. Don't judge or I'm heading straight over to inspect yours 🔍 I've had a couple of long desk days in a row, and when I say desk I mean sofa. Slumped on the sofa with my laptop and very bad posture and A+ efforts at getting myself some carpal tunnel syndrome one day soon. Don't do this at home kids. Sorry I've been a quiet little mouse on Insta for a few days, I'm designing a really exciting concept interior for the @woolwichcontemporaryprintfair alongside all the usual design stuff and launching my blog. I'll be sharing some details about the fair and my concept design in stories this week. Hope you're all well 🖤 . . . . . #justlookatthatbog #junglebathroom #plantshelfie #houseplantclub #spabathroom #urbanjungleblog #houseplanthome #bathroominspo #bathroomideas #greybathroom #boatbath #freestandingbath #bathroomremodel #bathroomreno #bathroomdetails #industrialstyle #modernvintage #loftextension #loftconversion #atticconversion #luxebathroom #bathroomstyle #instabathroom #instabath #molesbreath #hmxme #bathroomstyling #bathroomdecoration
I don't know what it is about the seaside but after a really great couple of days staying in a REALLY gorgeous airbnb in sunny Whitstable, I feel about 60% more relaxed. More relaxed and a whole lot rounder/squishier for some reason... I wonder if it had anything to do with the 9 million kilos of cheese we bought from @thecheeseboxwhitstable when we arrived on Friday night 🧀 #cheeseboardgoals In other news, I've been working on a little refresh of my dressing room for a while now...and when I say 'working on' mostly I mean thinking about. But today I got the paint rollers out for the first time in a looong time and made some tangible progress. I'll be sharing the updated space next month when I launch..........my blog 🙌 Yup, another thing I've been 'working on' for ages that's actually going to exist outside the confines of my encephalon. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to read about! Hope you all had a lovely weekend 🖤 . . . . . #diningroomstyle #diningroominspiration #diningroomdecoration #entertainingspace #barathome #homebar #barcabinet #drinkscabinet #diningroominterior #diningroomdecor #dscolor #colourmyhome #loungediner #livingdining #houserenovations #housereno #diyhomeimprovement #homeimprovementproducts #interiorsblog #interiorsblogger #diningroomgoals #midcenturymod #vintagesideboard #interiorblog #inchyrablue #modernvintagestyle #myvictorianhome
