It’s a new year, and I think a lot of people are feeling like this one is going to be a different kind of year. Different, meaning better than the last 2 years we’ve all had since the Covid pandemic rocked the world.

Since 2020 there has been a renewed interest in the home and what it means to us as its become not only our sanctuary but also our work place.

Interiors during the last 2 years have leant towards the minimal with muted colour palettes, greys and minimalism being all the rage, this trend driven by the need for calm as the outside world was so hectic.

But in 2023, we’re going to be seeing a whole lot of different. I’m calling this year 2020’s colourful cousin. If it were a person, it would be Interior Designer and Stylist, Iris Apfel!

How knowing your ‘why’ can help you discover your style

Knowing your style can be one of the hardest interior challenges out there. With so many online influences on social media it can be downright confusing trying to decide what your ‘actual’ style is and not someone else’s. I have been thinking a lot about the concept of knowing your ‘why’ and the importance this plays when deciding on your style.

Many people ask me, “how do I know what my style is?”  Often people are drawn to a lot of different influences but not one specific style and so they get confused and think, ‘I must not have a set style’ – (don’t panic if this is you 😉)
