Something from the Homing podcast stopped me this Something from the Homing podcast stopped me this week.

Why wouldn’t you just live in a hotel?

It’s a genuine question. Hotels can be beautiful. Someone has thought carefully about every surface, every detail.

And yet..Alain de Botton said something that stayed with me. Hotels are lovely, but they’re built for everyone. Which means they belong to no one.

The moment you move a vase. Put something over a picture. Bring one object that means something to you.
That’s the beginning of home.

What strikes me is how little it takes to start. And how much it matters.

It’s the reason I do what I do. That emotional connection between a person and their home. 

It’s everything.

Before we started, this hall was working against i Before we started, this hall was working against itself.
The staircase is extraordinary. Panelled oak, that sweeping curve, the weight of a house that has stood for over a century. 
But the walls were pale and flat. Nothing was holding it.

We chose Evie by @edwardbulmerpaint . A green with depth and warmth. We added a dado to wrap the colour up the stairs and added a stair runner that brought the whole floor into the conversation.

Now when you walk through the space, the staircase feels celebrated rather proud of itself!

One of my favourite snug transformations. When I One of my favourite snug transformations.

When I first walked into the room I could tell the family were open to something bold. The black and white stripes already had a strong point of view but they felt quite imposing for a basement snug.

This room has always been a true analogue space for the family. Somewhere for music, reading and conversation. That feeling needed to stay.

Our aim was to keep the basement snug inviting and comfortable while giving it more warmth and personality.

We introduced a richly patterned wallpaper from Cole & Son and paired it with paint from Edward Bulmer Natural Paint. Underfoot a wool loop pile carpet adds another layer of comfort and helps create a truly cosy snug.

The result is a space I know they really love. A proper snug where many evenings are spent with a glass of red wine, listening to music and putting the world to rights.
Should you start your bathroom renovation with the Should you start your bathroom renovation with the fabric, the tile or the paint?

It depends on what is doing the heavy lifting in the scheme.

We always begin with reference images and mood boards, not paint charts. We look at the overall mood first and refine it until the direction feels clear. Only then do we start locking in key pieces.

In this project the fabric led because it carried the most pattern and colour. It gave us something strong to respond to. We then chose the tile, which had depth and variation and enough movement to hold the space. From that tile we pulled the green and used it more widely so everything felt connected. The vintage vanity followed. Paint came last.

That order is not fixed, but the principle is.

Start with the element that has the most pattern or colour presence. That is often tile or fabric because they are harder to change and they set the tone. Paint is flexible. There are endless variations, so you can refine that once the bigger decisions are made.

If you begin with paint, you limit your options too early. If you begin with the strongest element, the rest of the room tends to fall into place.

So look at your plans. Which piece has the most personality? Start there!
