Renovations have a way of turning small choices into big ones, and metal finishes are the perfect example. There are different approaches to metal selections, and each has its own way of shaping how a home feels. Knowing where you sit on the mixing metals spectrum can make your design choices easier when decision fatigue sets in. This piece will help you understand your style more, so you can feel confident in your decisions.

Of all the questions I’ve received about my home since we renovated a few years ago, this is easily the most asked: what paint colours did you use? In this piece, I’m sharing every shade I used, inside and out, along with the finishes and where each one has been applied.

Finally, spring is here. I’ve pulled together a list of things I’m loving this season, from finishes and lighting to colours and entertaining. Think of it as a curated mix of pieces I’m finding myself drawn to right now; a visual guide to help you refresh, rework, or get inspired for the season ahead.

It’s easy to assume that once the big pieces are in — the benchtops, the sofa, the rug, the lighting — the space is done. But in many homes I’ve loved, it’s the final layer of decor that has made the biggest impact. Not just visually, but in how the space actually feels to live in. In this piece, I’m focusing on three key common areas and how small textural layers within them can add warmth and depth.

This winter I’m thinking more about how to get creative with a really beautiful indoor setting. I’ve pulled together an edit of what’s piquing my interest right now. Some pieces are shoppable, while others simply act as visual cues to set the tone.

As an interior consultant, I always ask clients how they want their homes to feel. Not just how they want them to look, but how their spaces can support their lives day to day. Sometimes, it’s the smallest, most obvious things—the ones we tend to overlook—that can start to shift how a home feels (and how you feel in it!). While these won’t lead to a complete transformation, they can certainly help get the ball rolling.

There’s something about stepping into a space that feels deeply connected to nature—it instantly puts you at ease. Whether you’re doing a renovation, or you just want to think about how you can connect your home to nature more, here are some simple ways to introduce biophilic elements into your space.
