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 REVEAL

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.

WHAT'S IN A WHITE?

Sometimes it takes a bit of bravery to choose white walls. Here's how I choose a white-based neutral for an interior scheme and what I picked for our living room.

Who leaves their tax return until the last minute every year? 🙋🏻‍♂🙋🏻‍♂🙋🏻‍♂ One of my resolutions for this year is to turn the box room into an office and keep on top of my paperwork to help stop this absolute hell each year. And no I don’t even wear glasses I’m just hoping they’re going to help with my maths skills 😉

Nothing beats a fish finger sandwich right? But I’m trying to put more plant-based meals in my diet, so today I’m trying these fish-less fingers, which are a new addition to @waitroseandpartners vegan range. They’re made from tofu and have a bit more of a grown-up taste with lots of dill. These are a swap I’d be happy to make!

Since we moved into this house, we’ve been trying to be a little more considered in our purchases for it - which mostly comes down to not buying ‘these will do for now’ things from Ikea which we plan to replace and throw out later down the line. Good in theory I think, but it’s boiled down to me spending 11 months without a full length mirror in my home. First delivery for bedroom makeover has now arrived though, and its this freestanding mirror from @swooneditions. WATCH OUT WORLD, I CAN NOW SEE WHAT MY LEGS LOOK LIKE AND I’M READY TO TAKE OVER.

I’ve been so bad at sending Christmas cards this year, so here’s an awkward family photo of us all in our matching PJs to make up for it 😂🎄 Work is done, presents wrapped and now driving home for Christmas at some ungodly hour on a Saturday.. - - -
Also we’re starting work on a makeover of the master bedroom when we come back in January, and I’m so looking forward to making it a bit more exciting in here!

I think I could eat Christmas food all year round. I may have picked up these lemon and raspberry snowballs from @waitroseandpartners as we’ve got guests over the next few days, but turns out they were #TooGoodToWait and I’ve eaten them already (shared begrudgingly with the other half) 😂

Christmas tree reveal from last week. I got to spend the day with the lovely @house2home_16 and create a Christmas look inspired by @lovezoflora’s festive fireside 🎄🔥 I’ve had lots of message about the pop-up tree.. it’s from @johnlewisandpartners 🙌🏼

Are you a dogs on the sofa sort of person or not? I just let them have free rein most of the time 🙈 unless they’re wet and covered in mud of course. Safe to say Nancy is a fan of the new sofa from @johnlewisandpartners. I’ve put up a new blog post with some more shots of how the Cape sofa looks from different angles in my living room, link’s in my bio. I’m also enjoying a couple of new cushions from JL+P too - this geo one and the camouflage one in the blog post are both from their collaboration with @patternity, which launched at the start of the year, and I’ve lusted after ever since I first saw them. @johnlewisandpartnerspr .

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.
