Renovating your home, but don't know what to expect? Here is a case study of a 3-bedroom flat redesigned in a Scandinavian style in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Get the Look is a design series where I share design ideas for various rooms. Sometimes this content is shaped by my community. This round has been inspired by various client projects, all around converting guest bedrooms into work-from-home offices.

Christmas doesn't have to be a time of stress, spending, and chaos organising it. It can be sustainable. Christmas can be a time for slowing down, of living in the moment. A time to be present around our loved ones. Here is how.

Bucharest is renowned for its late 19th century-inspired Parisian-style buildings, which are incredibly beautiful (although sadly not taken care of by the council). At the same time, new, almost detailless buildings rise up in a competition, almost screaming “look at me, look at me, I am prettier”!

And this made me think! It made me think about how much details matter, not only on the outside (exterior) but also on the inside of a building or a home (the interior). I know I say this a lot but details matter so so much when it comes to creating the “personality” of a space/home.

Here is the thing. Not waking up in a space that you simply adore, adds stress to your life, on a subconscious level. It might not feel like it but interior design influences how your day actually goes.

You won’t necessarily be aware of it, but deep down, it can affect your well-being, making you feel off, getting frustrated or annoyed quicker and honestly sucking the joy out of the things you enjoy most, like having a cup of coffee in the morning (speaking from experience here).

Before starting any interior design project it’s very important to gather inspiration so that we know what we actually want to do! There are 2 ways in which you can do this process, and I explain each one in more detail below.

I might get some backlash for writing this but, did anybody else notice that as soon as the 2nd of January hit, almost all the interior design accounts on Instagram launched into projects like changing the bedroom look, uplifting the living room, x, y, z trend predictions, colour predictions, ad collaborations, etc. I really felt annoyed by this because it perpetuates this idea of buying stuff you don't always or really need so that you can feel "better in your home". So I had to say something about this trend of creating interior design trends.

Interiors have the most peculiar effect on us, on the way we feel each day. They can bring you up or bring you extremely down if they are poorly made. That's why re-designing your home is a commitment. But regardless of your reasons to start redesigning your home, here are some of the biggest mistakes that you can avoid along the way.

What is a Mood Board? Why are they so important to any creative/design process?

I often get asked these questions by people who hear this word flying around in any creative field. I used to ask the same question when I was studying interior design, even architecture. And because some of you got in touch asking me a little bit about this matter, I decided to shed some light on it!
