A new build home is at the beginning of its life, it’s box fresh! And this can be a great thing, and it can present some challenges. Here we are going to show you how you can add personality and life to your new build to make it a home.

Despite what instagram shows us, nearly every home has a small room of some sorts; an office, a box room, or a cozy snug and they aren't easy to design!

Some homes just seem to have that something extra. It’s not so much about the style or the amount of money that has been spent on the finishes, but something that’s harder to pinpoint, something more elusive. It’s more that the room feels cohesive and well, just effortlessly ‘put together’

It may be tiny, but it can still be mighty! Let your creativity flow in the smallest room in your house.

Researching, planning and designing a room takes time and the decisions can feel overwhelming.

We get asked questions about interior design all day every day - and we love it! There are some questions that continually crop up over and over again. In this week's blog we have compiled a list of our most frequently asked design questions.

Moving interior design to an online service is a fairly new idea. So what exactly is it and what are the benefits?

There are so many blinds available - every colour, pattern and style possible. So where do you start when choosing a blind for your window? It can be hard to know what you need, or want.

This week we have a guest blog from Blindsbypost who are the UK's number one blinds online retailer and manufacturer.

There are many, many different rugs on the market - every colour, shape and size imaginable. So how do you go about choosing the right one?

I know the feeling well - so much to do, no time to do it, and no idea even how to do it! That’s how my Monday mornings often feel juggling work and family life!

When starting a project in your home, it can feel like a month of Monday mornings all at once - the feeling of being overwhelmed can be paralysing. As the mountain of decisions builds, you lose motivation and any passion you once had for the project quickly fades. Designing your home can feel really hard!!

Have you ever seen your dream interior in a magazine or whilst scrolling Pinterest and think - I would love to achieve that look in my home, but it might also leave you feeling that it’s out of your budget or looks too hard to achieve. That’s where we can help you…

At the Living House we have designed hundreds of bedrooms for people and there are some fundamentals that you need to get right from the start. Here we share some of our top tips for creating a relaxing space.

Smell is such a strong, important sense. When we talk about interior design we tend to focus on how things look and feel, but how they smell is key too. And let’s face it, every home has its own unique scent and some do smell better than others!!

I love interior design - I guess that’s a given! I really am in my happy place browsing Instagram and Pinterest, soaking up all the photos of beautiful inspirational interiors.

Obviously no one wants to get it wrong when it comes to updating their home. And yet so often we get asked ‘Why doesn’t this room work?’, ‘Why doesn’t it look how I imagined?’, ‘What’s wrong with it??!

Luxury - it’s a look that never goes out of style, and manages to feel both relaxed and refined. It’s a look many of us would love in our homes, but sadly we don’t always have the luxury budget to go with it!

Wallpaper can be a fantastic addition to your home, adding instant colour, personality and style to your space. It can make a dramatic difference, and create a talking point in the room. However it can also feel overwhelming to choose from the thousands of different designs, colours and patterns available and, when it’s used in the wrong way, the results can be dramatically underwhelming.

Although I’m not in my forever home, I still want to update areas of my house, but on a small budget. This blog will explore the creative ways I have updated my bathroom for under £100 and hopefully inspire you to look at ways to improve your home without spending a fortune.
