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.

[AD] It's fair to say that the bathroom in our house has seen better days – it definitely needs a redesign, but it's so much more of a daunting project than the other rooms! This week, I've been planning how I'd like to transform the space using @bandq_uk's new Goodhome bathroom range which, as well as being budget-friendly, is a designed to be simpler to fit and install. So, this is the moodboard I've come up with - geometric effect tiles and warm neutral tones in both Goodhome's accessories and their bathroom paint range.
I've also been testing out B&Q's 'Plan My Bathroom' tool to see how I could make better use of the space I've got with the products. To see the scheme in more detail, head over to my blog, where you'll also find a link to the planner tool for you to try yourself. .

It’s been a coffee not-optional kind of week, so much to do and not enough hours in the day 😫 anyway, this little side table doubles up as my breakfast/coffee station when guests come to stay. I think I’m destined to run a little b&b in the future, how hard can it be? I’ve watched enough episodes of the Hotel Inspector by now and that counts as experience right? 🤣[Sandvig tableware, Tvls gold cutlery, Gracie napkins and Marvin stoneware vase gifted from @brostecph] .

#ad The DIY continues with a little project with BLACK+DECKER. I’ve been wanting to make a magazine rack for the wall in the office for a little while, and as BLACK+DECKER have gifted me a 18V Cordless Drill and Mouse Sander, what better time! There’s loads of tutorials to make these on Pinterest, but I’ve sort of just made it up as I go - it’s a really simple one to make, and I’ve popped some of the steps up on my stories. I already had a couple of BLACK+DECKER POWER TOOLS, and the 18V Lithium batteries are compatible across the range, so it works well to keep adding to your DIY toolkit. @blackanddeckerUK #EasyWin

Still not over this DIY makeover we did of a budget Amazon armchair a couple of weeks back to finish off the bedroom re-design. If you missed the stories of how I gave it this stripe-y new look, I've put some details about how I re-upholstered the chair using a @hmhome tablecloth over on the blog today. I'll pop the link in my bio and on my stories. [Post contains gifted items from previous collaborations, all tagged] .

Love how changing the sheets can be like a mini makeover. This is now my every other week look for the bedroom thanks to some new bed linen I just bought, again a @hmhome purchase. Stripes on stripes on stripes - I’ve been just a little bit obsessed with them lately 😅 [Contains gifted items: wall art from @juniqe, cushion from @brostecph, rug from @modernrugsuk, wall and woodwork paint from @earthbornpaints, throw from @beddable.co.uk] .

[AD] So I finally got around to waxing the the drawers in the bedroom, now painted up in @earthbornpaints Eco Chic clay-based furniture paint in Rocky Horse. It’s made such a difference with how the colours in this room sit together. I liked the original wood of the drawers, but they were throwing everything off, and this colour has just enough coolness to it. Anyway, I’m finally happy with the styling of the room, having changed the rug too, so I’m going to get it all photographed and up on the blog this week. Also, keep your eyes peeled for an @earthbornpaints competition coming your way very soon! [Walls in @earthbornpaints Flutterby, skirting in Donkey Ride and Cabinets painted in Rocky Horse]

oh hey,

want to work together?

let's chat

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.
