Home Content // Which Rug for Which Room Shape?*
For a long time, carpets reigned supreme when it came to choosing a flooring for your home. Some people carpeted every room in their home, I remember at one point my mum had carpet in the bathroom (gross, I know) and my aunt had carpet in the kitchen! But over the last 10 years, wooden flooring has been growing in popularity, from untreated wood slats, highly polished floors and for those with more modest budgets, lino that looks like wooden flooring. It started in the kitchen but has now spread throughout the house, every single room has a wooden floor. There are any benefits to this from a easy to…

Theming a Child’s Bedroom for Amateurs*
Little Miss’ bedroom has been a working progress for almost a year now, and I am so ashamed of this. Our house kind of takes a back seat to having adventures because realistically on one income I can only afford one or the other (and this is one of the reasons I don’t drive or have a car). As long as the house is clean, I’m happy. We have paint peeling, worn carpets and I desperately need a new mattress. But having a life time of adventures is way more important to us that material possessions. But LM’s room, I feel like that should be finished and that’s one of…

Doesn’t it feel amazing when you finally get your own home that you can really put your mark on? If like me you’ve probably lived in rented accommodation for a while where you sometimes aren’t even allowed to move furniture let alone paint the walls! When I first moved into my current home 4 years ago and had free reign on decorating and furnishing it I was over joyed. Although it was an expensive process, for the first time ever it really felt like my home. Over the years I’ve picked up a few design techniques that can really make a big impact when decorating. A Brighter Room is a…

2016 Home Improvement Plans*
The start of the year is definitely a time to make some plans for the next year. I’ve already set my blogging goals and my life goals, so I thought I’d do a post about my home improvement goals over the year. Last year I managed to decorate my hall and that was about it, despite saying I was going to tackle my kitchen and my bathroom. However this year I’m going to make sure I actually do some home improvement, especially since I have a cupboard full of cans of paint.. it’s just such hard work on my own. Oh well. So anyway, here’s what I am planning on…

How to Make Your Bedroom Truly Unique*
Since when did our bedrooms become beige washouts? Don’t get me wrong, beige can be lovely (and so can Chinese lantern shades/IKEA desks etc.), but perhaps it’s time for something a little more exciting, and a little less run of the mill. As part of my escape from my mediocre bedroom, I’ve been looking at ways to bring some individuality and character back into my favourite place in the house. Bespoke bed Whatever style or size of your bedroom; your bed is the focus of the room, right? A custom made bed may seem a bit extravagant, but considering nearly a third of our lives are spent sleeping, why not…

Chatterbox Walls Review
“Remember When…” A4 Print* RRP £14.99, Chatterbox Walls One of my favourite parts of personalising a home is choosing what will be adorning the walls. I won’t lie, being a blogger has been brilliant this time around as I’ve been lucky enough to review products that I have dearly loved and happily put up around my home. So of course when Chatterbox Walls contacted me to ask if I wanted to review a product from their wide selection, I instantly agreed. Chatterbox Walls is a company that specialises in personalised wall art of the text variety. I was pretty excited as I had a few similar pieces favourited…
