From coastal retreats to countryside farmhouses, guests increasingly choose properties that feel beautiful, relaxed and authentic rather than overly styled. The most successful holiday lets combine thoughtful interior design, natural materials and effortless comfort. When done well, the interior becomes part of the experience itself — helping a property stand out online, attract bette

No surprises finding help creating home office spaces filling our inbox in 2022! Many of us have had to adapt our living spaces to accommodate working from home and those temporary setups involving paperwork all over the dining table or a laptop on the guest bedroom dresser are starting to feel a little tired. So how do we make the new "work from home" normal fit with our interior aesthetics in homes that weren't built for offices? Featured images left to right: Gravity Home

The design industry, like many others, has had a long history and evolution alongside our societies and like other industries we need to play our part in recognising where terms need updating as we strive towards equality. It has thankfully been a few years, although not as many as you would hope, since I have heard the term "n****r brown" in reference to a shade of leather. It is comforting to see that this is no longer accepted within the industry, but there are a couple mo

I recently put out a post on social media asking what people would be interested to see me write about, and several of the replies essentially relate to maximalism . Maximalism is a design style that is rich in colour, texture and pattern featuring an eclectic mix of accessories. I cannot say that this surprises me, it is a sentiment I see echoed amongst many of my clients, especially those with families. They are bored to the back teeth with seeing blanket white/grey, imprac

So what trends are we looking at this year, and how can you make them work for you? #1 Black and White While certainly trending this year, black and white schemes have a bold timeless appeal. Maximise impact by combining this high contrast colour combination with large bold patterns. Use a

The Zeitgeist has spoken revealing a stunning colour palette of preference for the year. Let's take a look at the top five colours and how to use them for best effect. #1 Deep Blues Deep rich blues are hugely popular at the moment right across the spectrum from the greeny-teal-blues through almost-black-blues to Indigo. I love to use these tones as a background colour because they really make any accent sitting against them stand out. They pair beautifully with a range of acc

Today something extremely rare has come over me... I am speechless! ( Thank goodness I can still type! ) I opened my inbox this morning to the news that Zenterior has been awarded the Best of Houzz award for 2019. I am no stranger to Houzz, indeed I had set up the previous company I worked for on the platform (which basically works as a combination of Pinterest and TripAdvisor for interior design) and had won a number of awards there, but to land an award with my new company

Velvet began a huge resurgence during the Autumn/Winter Season 2016/17. At the time trend predictors were talking about this rise being linked to the need to bring in warmer textures for the cooler months, but the versatility of this textile has meant that it is still topping trend lists for 2019 all year round. Let's give this ancient Egyptian innovation the examination it deserves. Belvedere Velvets Warmth There is no denying the suggested warmth element that brought velvet
