Starting any design project can be overwhelming but choosing to start each day with a fresh mindset can help you overcome the hurdles on the way🌿

Here are 3 things to keep in mind to get you started, even when you’re just not feeling it:

Take a deep breath & break it down 🧘‍♀️: When a project feels too big, remind yourself to take it one step at a time. Breaking things into smaller tasks makes everything feel more manageable and will give you that much-needed momentum to keep going.

Draw inspiration from anywhere 🎨: I love looking at nature, colors, or even a good book to spark creativity. Inspiration is everywhere, and sometimes the best ideas come when you least expect them. Just keep your eyes open!

Set a small goal 🎯: Make sure to hit one goal each day, whether it’s picking a color palette or sourcing the perfect lamp. Small wins build up, and before you know it, you’re back in the design flow.

Trust me, even designers have those days! But it’s all about staying positive, taking it slow, and knowing that good things take time. ✨

#InteriorDesign #PositiveVibes #StartYourDayRight #interiorstyling #interiors #interiordesign #bespokefurnishingservice #home

This is where you’ll find me on most fitting days hanging out, checking furniture and making lists!
However a client likes to work either remotely or with a hand to hold I’m happy to oblige ❤️

Just a reminder you don’t need a new you or need to follow a new trend for 2025
You just need to find the style that you love ♥️

Once you find it and invest in the right things you can build a space to love for years to come ♥️

I wanted to get in there early and wish you the happiest and healthiest of New Years 🥂 see you on the other side ♥️ sending huge love ❤️

If you slowly surround yourself with the things and people that you love you’ll find

Recently…. A few project highlights on the run up to Christmas 🎄

🎄I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all of your support on here this year and a promise to not fall off insta for such a long time next year!

🎄Also a massive thank you to my lovely customers who have kept me too busy to post! Some of you I’ll be seeing in January too which fills me with joy!

🎄 Sending love to you and yours for a fantastic Christmas ❤️❤️❤️❤️

2/ The Interior Designers Handbook ( Frida

Featuring one of yesterday’s fittings with dreamy stripes and chunky texture 🤎

@linwood_fabric Garden stripe was spotted by my client last year when we were selecting other rooms and she just knew it had to be used somewhere else.

A gorgeous pop of colour in a beautiful new kitchen from @insideout_buxton

We picked up the pink and followed it through in the living room cushions to combine a pop of colour with heavily textured embroidered blinds 🤎

A day in the Life….🤍

My most asked question is what do you do all day 😂
The answer is always every day is different, I spend lots of time with clients but equally a lot of time behind the scenes doing the less interesting business owner paperwork stuff. Let me know which bits of my day you would like to see more of .
See you soon

It’s important to me how you feel when you come home ♥️

I love this review from Danielle, the fact she loves the quality of her fitted curtains that she was happy we managed to stick to her budget and that I made the process less daunting for her but the most important thing to me is that she loves coming home to relax.

Creating a home, creating relaxing spaces that fill you with joy is everything I love about my job 🙌

Throw in something unexpected…….

I love a clashing pattern or colour, if you add something into a room that isn’t a perfect match you instantly make it more interesting.

A bit like the unexpected red theory ( add red to any scheme in small amounts and it works, trust me)
Adding an abstract pattern in neutrals ( black is a neutral 😉) creates the same effect.

Or like me, combine the two. This gorgeous red glazed lamp was crying out for a cool shade ♥️

I truly believe our homes can come to our rescue and that better interiors can give us better health❤️

We are Learning more about how feeding our bodies with nourishing foods and having fitness routines that free our minds is good for the soul but there is something that can be overlooked that significantly impacts our overall well-being.

Our homes have the power to influence our mood, productivity and our health.

Our surroundings have the ability to shape our emotions and energy levels. Just as a cluttered and chaotic space can leave you feeling overwhelmed and anxious, a well-designed and harmonious environment can create a feeling of calmness and contentment.

My go to’s are lighting- the right smells and soft rugs but I’ve added a few more to help you create a sanctuary at home 🤍 xxx

Your Home, Your Story ⬇️

We’ve all been there—living in a space that feels more like a relic of our past selves than a reflection of who we are today. As we grow and evolve, our homes should, too. It’s time to shed the past and create a space that truly represents the current you. Here’s how to create a home that reflects your present self, filled with joy, personality, and most importantly authenticity❤️

Panelling is always a good idea ❤️ especially in a character property.

Project update:
Panelling in
Painting done
Furniture and accessories arriving
Window fabrics selected❤️

This project is a combination of my online Mood board package and a Bespoke window dressing service.

I Design it - you shop the boards, all items are from well known high street brands and smaller independent companies that I LOVE including a 20% discount for COAT paints as part of your package.

My recommended team of joiners, decorators
And fitters are all onboard with this project to give this building the finish it deserves 🙌

I’m taking bookings for the end of September for New projects, if you would like to catch up about a future project you have in mind now is the time ❤️ x Sarah

H e l l o ❤️

How are you? I took a little insta break ……
There’s so much to fill you in on!
But today I thought I’d leave you with these beautiful windows from the gorgeous George Mansions project, I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been up to - Apart from being obsessed with stripes!!! 🦓… I’ll keep you posted 😉 xxx

Sometimes you just can’t find the perfect shade, but there’s always a solution 🌿

Block printing is one of my favourite ways of adding detail in a small way to create a bespoke finishing touch.

Lampshade making classes beginning in September 🌿 have a great day. Sarah xx

26 years of working in this business has taught me many skills.
🌿How to stick to a Design Brief
🌿How to complete complex measures
🌿 How to communicate with clients
🌿How to coordinate fittings
🌿How and where to source the right items at the right price.

But the last five have been the most important. Growing a business has taught me self belief and that hard work and Grit pays off. So to all my fellow grafters, whatever you may be doing, keep doing it. It’s not about the destination it’s about the learning that happens along the way ♥️

Samples incoming! One of todays jobs was finding the perfect fabric for a clients finishing touches.

There is so much choice out there one of the ways I can help is to narrow down the selection.

These beautiful @linwood_fabric samples will be added to a couple of other choices for my lovely client.

They all coordinate with everything else in the room and the favourite will soon be added to a family heirloom chaise by my upholsterer.

The perfect fabric is out there for your project, maybe you just need a little help to find it 😉

Friday feels! Another week, is it just me or is time moving at the speed of light!

“Do what you love and and you’ll never work a day in your life” they said! 😂
This week has been long and hard with plenty of challenges but today I’m feeling grateful for the amazing team of independents I have in my corner- Extraordinary makers and fitters that I get to work with every day! No job is ever the same and this is not an exact science but together we will always find a solution 🤍

I’m now taking bookings for the end of May. If you need a solution to your interior dilemmas let’s get you booked in 🤍

Happy Friday all🌿

Invest in the right things and your space will look effortless🌿

This week has been all about finishing touches ( my favourite bit) There are three ways to make it easier to create a more considered space and save you money long term ( less redecorating- more affordable accessories)

⚫️ Good quality Paint and a Decorator

⚫️ Bespoke window dressings

⚫️ Good quality Flooring fitted well

Get the bones of your space right and the rest will be easy. Affordable accessories will look more expensive and your space will look more considered 🌿

A checklist:

⚫️Do you like them?

When you are working with a Designer the most important thing to consider is if you feel you could have a coffee with them in your home and feel relaxed. If the answer is no then they are possibly not the right fit for you🌿

⚫️Are they listening

The second most important is are they listening? You will be enjoying your space for longer than your Designer. It’s important that you feel your ideas have been listened to and understood, a brief before the work begins is the perfect way to make sure of this once agreed you can be confident you are on the same page🌿

⚫️Do your styles Align

A vibe check is important 😉 check that your idea of good Design principles are the same. Ask to see previous work and check Google reviews 🌿

A bonus fourth would be trust your gut ⭐️ always the best way to find your perfect match

Creating a space you really want to be in doesn’t have to be difficult.
These are the ways I can help you in 2024 to Create your perfect space:

⚫️Paint consultation- online or at home

The perfect backdrop for any space needs to be created first- get this right and you are almost there 😉

⚫️ Online Moodboard-

After a virtual or in person meeting I will send through a virtual mood board with clickable links to all of my favourite companies with the perfect accessories to add the finishing touches to your space.

⚫️ Complete Design service-

From the floor up - Space planning- Furniture selection-Wall finish- Floor finish 💡 Lighting plan

⚫️Bespoke soft furnishings

Complete Window Design Service fabric and hardware supply and fitting.

⚫️ Upholstery Design-

Bespoke sofas and chairs including fabric selection Design & delivery 🌿

Balance in all things is my mantra especially when it comes to Design 🌿
One of my favourite things to do is mix the old and the new in whichever style comes first.

A traditional fabric with a modern suite or fresh new fabric design with a vintage sideboard.🌿

Travelling around to find these treasures can take time which is why I love Instagram for connecting me with so many vintage sellers who do the amazing work of finding fabulous pieces.

If you would like to know the accounts I love have a look at my Vintage finds highlights for some of my favourites 💚

The spaces we create have a huge impact on our well-being 🌿
This beautiful home lovingly restored by Ben and Paul @thecountryhousediaries was the perfect venue for a retreat created by @ruthryancoaching 🌿

Investing in our mental health can be as simple as eating well, breathing properly and taking time out🌿

Sounds simple but learning how to do these things the right way and making the time to implement them into a busy schedule has been invaluable to me 💚 As has meeting a group of amazing women brought together by Ruth💚

From unused family lounge to an accessible bedroom ➡️swipe for the before🍃

This client needed to be downstairs for wheelchair access and wanted a luxurious boutique style bedroom that met her physical needs but that also felt like a comforting cocoon.

A wall of curtains is a great way to deal with difficult room dimensions and add balance to a space. They also add that feeling of softness that was much needed in this large room.

Layering a voile behind the curtain means that she can also have privacy at anytime of the day.

Even better my clients had most of the furniture already and it was repurposed for this room.
Sarah x

Adding the finishing touches when my customers are away is one of my favourite things to do🙌
Yesterday my customers house had been cleaned from top to bottom whilst they were away. We then arrived and fitted out the bedroom with three beautiful pairs of curtains.
Having help at home never looked so good🤩

New fabrics in the collection today☀️

I have a customer this week who will love these fabrics from Linwood for her sitting room. Paired with Pooky lighting the perfect Accessory to add a pop of colour.

Get layering those patterns and colours to capture the September sunshine for those winter months🍃☀️

We’ve worked together for 20yrs💫
I generally measure how long I’ve been working with a client by the age of their children. Ann and I first started working together on their first house- we designed the playroom for her gorgeous boys.
They have just finished University!
We are now onto their second home for the second time.
As a family grows and changes their home needs to evolve around them and I love being part of that change.
If your home no longer suits your needs or style drop me a message and we can create it together 🙌 Sarah x
