One day last week, I began the process of cleaning my kitchen (like proper cleaning where you take things off the sides, not just wipe around them) and realised I'd not really had a re-style of my shelves since the kitchen was installed back in September of last year....

I've always loved eclectic design. Long ago, I read a quote in an interior design book (and I so wish I remember who it was to credit them) but to paraphrase it essentially said: nothing dates a room faster than everything being of the same era. If you think about it,...

The following post contains a paid advertising feature for Oak Furnitureland. Unlike those impulse accessory purchases for our home, buying a piece of good quality-furniture is nearly always an investment. For many of us, we may have had to take time to save up for a...

I think a lot of people confuse having a clean home with an organised one. And yes, they are similar when you're talking about being able to relax in your home and not see piles of stuff everywhere but they aren't exactly the same thing. Organising is essentially the...

The following post is a paid advertising feature for Aquaclean fabrics. Small sofas can be a total saviour when it comes to creating your dream living room. While many sofas on the market look great in the (unusually large) showrooms, getting them home can be a...

I don't know if it's just me but whenever I take all the Christmas decorations down, my home just feels a bit... I dunno... flat. Is it the same for you? Don't get me wrong. By the time the end of December comes, I actually really look forward to removing the...

A friend of mine asked me recently if I'd ever done a blog post on styling a Christmas tree as she was looking for some tips for her own. And I realised that after so many years of decorating trees, I never have! So, as I celebrated the start of the festive season by...

The following is a paid advertising feature for Desenio. I created my first gallery wall back in 2013. Eager to just fill up the entire area but with little clue to what I was doing, the end result was sadly, a bit disappointing. I tried to stick to a colour scheme...

I originally wrote this review post for AO Life but I thought the information was probably too good not to share here too in case anyone was considering purchasing a Samsung Frame TV. I have not been paid for this post but I was gifted the TV as part of our...

So we'll start with a confession, shall we? Do I make my bed up every single day? Hell no. However, do I love when I spend those extra 2 minutes doing it? Absolutely. There's just something about getting into a nicely made up bed that feels slightly luxurious. It's...

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you'll know I'm a big fan of the mini-refresh. These usually entail a few changes that make a big impact on the look and feel of a room without having to spend a huge amount of money starting from scratch. I...

Why hello there! I know, it's been ages but we've been away on a little much-needed holiday break in Tuscany and yes, it was just as delicious as it sounds. A little mountain villa shared with friends, lots of cooking and eating (and far too much Prosecco and...

This was a post I originally wrote for Avant Home's blog but considering we are just heading out of the holiday season, these tips might prove helpful to those who've brought home pretty items from their travels! One of the best things about flying out to far-flung...

I originally created this article for Oak Furniture Land's blog but I thought it'd be fun to share it (with a few updates) here on Swoon Worthy! I may now be in well into my 40's but I can still remember my first 'grown-up' place in my early 20s. It was a little...
