bedroom plans

Take a look at my plans, sketches and mood boards for my master bedroom makeover. It’s not a huge room, but I’m giving myself plenty of DIY to do.

FIREPLACE restoration

The first job I wanted to tackle in the new house was the living room fireplace, restoring the original wrought iron hidden under six (count them six) layers of paint.

BED DIY MAKEOVER

As part of the master bedroom makeover, I wanted to reupholster our bed frame. Here’s how I did it with just three tablecloths from H&M Home and a staple gun.

Want to know how to fit your own radiator? Well when you find out, can you tell me too? 😰😰 I’m just about to launch into the trauma we went through trying to fit this ourselves over on my stories if you’re interested, all down to the fact that @hughmetcalf and I had no idea what we were doing rather than it being the fault of this gorgeous coliseum radiator that was gifted from @we_are_soak as part of our bedroom makeover. At the end of the day, it’s up now, looks beaut, we didn’t break up as a result of it and I now know never to try do it myself again! . . . #bedroommakeover #radiator #radiators #diy #diyhomedecor #diyideas #diyer #neutralpalette #myhomevibe #castironradiator #myhome #myhomedecor #interior123 #interior2you #bedroomideas #upcycledfurniture #interiordesign #interiorismo #interior4inspo #interior_and_living #interiorstyling #warmneutrals #renovation #victorianrenovation
According to an email that landed in my inbox this week, this Friday is @bringyourdogtoworkday – who knew? If anyone wants to borrow one of these two for the day, let me know – on a good day, they go off on their own, sleep and I don't see them again until dinner time; on a bad, they try to come sit on my lap while I'm working, whine until I play with them or have wrestling/screaming matches with each other. But, still I could have worse co-workers I guess..? 🤷🏻‍♂️How would your pups get on if you took them into the office? 🐶[Contains gifted products, all tagged] . . . #interiors #interiordesign #homeoffice #revamprestylereveal #dogstagram #jackrussell #shihtzu #chihuahua #diy #interiorstyle #dogsofinstagram #scandinaviandesign #interior4you1 #homemakeover #victorianhouse #plywoodfurniture #shelfie #minimalist #neutralcolours #houseplants #houserenovation
[ad] Would you say you dress the same way you decorate? We were having this conversation looking around @thesofaandchair’s relaunched showroom yesterday, and it just so happened I was particularly drawn to this room set that matched my outfit! The team at The Sofa and Chair Company invited me along to check out the newly renovated space, and they’ve done a great job. Whether you’re an interior designer specifying for a client or just looking for something a bit luxe for yourself, well worth a visit for inspiration and to look at the amazing fabric books alone. I’ve popped some of my favourite pieces in my stories and I’ll save them too my highlights too if you want to check them out. . . . . #thesofaandchair #interiordesign #interiors #interiordesigner #wallart #sofa #showroom #homedecor #mensstyle #interiordecorating #lighting #decor #homeinspo
This house has four fireplaces, all of which were in pretty dire states when we moved in, but now there’s only one left to sort! This is the one that someone had built drawers into as if they’d had the brainwave of the century 🙄 managed to find a replacement cast iron Victorian fireplace for the gap as part of @revamprestylereveal, although it was painted bright yellow to start with so took a lot of work to get it looking like this. The last fireplace is just a literal hole in the wall in the dining room, so now busy plotting what to do with it.. I’d love to fit a wood burner, but who knows if that’s possible?!

So, I put up the plant wall in the living room about a year ago now.. it was a bit of a learning curve what sort of houseplants worked in there, but it’s still going strong!. A living room makeover is my next big project, and I’ve been umming and ahhing about whether to keep it up or start completely afresh in here. It does need quite a bit of upkeep to keep it looking healthy, but I do love it!

CHAIR RE-UPHOLSTER REVEAL.. If you were following my stories yesterday, you'll have seen I spent my Sunday re-upholstering and re-painting this chair.. Super happy with how it's turned out! The chair was a bit of a bargain buy for £80 from Amazon (similar is £180 in Ikea, and that’s Ikea) and the fabric is another tablecloth from H&M – different to the one I used to do the bed, but the stone-y, beige colour is the same, so matches perfectly. If you want to see how I did it, I've saved the stories in 'bedroom' in my highlights. I've got just a couple more bits to do and then I'll say the bedroom is done (for now anyway), and I can get up a full bedroom makeover post.. it’s been a long time coming - I was meant to finish in January!

Little trip into London today for some press shows to see what next season has in store for us all - oh, and Christmas too (yes it's June and the C word is already being mentioned 🙈 sorry!) These pics are from the @Brostecph A/W show.. red, tans and pinks together are definitely going to be a colour trend, some really beautiful new bits of furniture and Broste always have amazing paper decorations for Christmas. I've thrown up a couple of highlights on my stories if you fancy a look. Also going to press shows with @hughmetcalf means I have someone to take my picture for me 😘 [Not an ad, but I do sometimes work with Broste, just so you know 😉] . . . #interiordesign #homeaccessories #homeaccents #interior123 #interior #interior4inspo #interior #interiordecorating #scandistyle #scandinavianstyle #brostecopenhagen #broste #homedeco #myhomevibe #interiorstylist #interiorstyling #interiorismo #interior_design #scandinaviandesign #scandi #scandinavian #scandihome #scandiboho #interior_and_living #like #interiorblog #interiorbloggers #maleblogger
SWIPE —- #ad This week, I’m determined to finish the bedroom - that includes sorting the floor, putting up new curtains and re-upholstering a chair! First job was to swap around some of the artwork courtesy of @juniqeartshop. The frame we had over the bed was too small for the space really, so we’ve replaced it with this ‘Hope’ print, which fills the wall so much better. Plus I picked up this little ‘Kiss’ print for a bit of bedside table styling 😘 if you’re in need of some artwork at the moment, I’ve got a discount code running until Sunday on the Juniqe website, just use code LUKEARTHUR30 at checkout and you’ll get 30% off when you spend over £29. There’s a collection called Soft Abstraction on there at the moment that’s totally my vibe, so check that out too. . . . #junique #juniquehome #artwork #homestyling #myhomevibe #apartmenttherapy #interior123 #interiordesign #abstractart #wallart #wallartdecor #artprints #bedroommakeover #monochromehome #bedroom #interiordesign #homerenovation #diyprojects #victorianhouse #victorianterrace #interiordecorating #interiorstylist #iherbdiscountcode #like #dogsofinstagram #cutedogs #homedecor #interior4inspo

About me…

Hi, I'm Luke and I'm an interior designer, stylist and writer, currently living in the South East of England. I've recently moved into a new home - a Victorian terrace in need of a little TLC. 

Once upon a time, I was a contestant on BBC's The Great Interior Design Challenge, but in the many moons since then, I've been working with brands and residential clients around the world, helping to bring a touch of my individual design philosophy to their spaces. 

I'm all about understated, timeless interiors that will age gracefully, using a delicate touch to create the drama and impact demanded in homes of all shapes and sizes. 

If you follow me on Instagram, you might find out I'm also a little obsessed with my two Jack Russell crosses - Pearl and Nancy. 

That's it for now, but if you want to know any more, click the buttons below to reach out - I'd love to hear from you.
