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...

I figured seeing as it's the summer holidays and everyone is feeling rather relaxed and enjoying the weather, we could have a little fun on Swoon Worthy today! This is a post I'd written originally for Oak Furniture Land's blog but I thought I'd share it with you here...

Whenever I have visitors, the one thing they often notice is how many plants and flowers I have in nearly every room. I've always loved how plants and greenery make a whole room just look so much more alive and finished and vibrant and I've often said if you feel...

I'm always a little nervous when saying something is definitively 'wrong' or 'right' when decorating. Because, just like everything in interiors, it's nuanced. There are things that can be more successful and things that can be less so and it's incredibly subjective...

Let's just be clear here, right from the start: I've killed A LOT of Maidenhair Ferns over the past 5 or so years. That doesn't stop me from loving them. Since my very first dalliance with house plants, these little soft delicate beauties have been at the top of my...

Long long ago, back in 2012, I made a massive discovery and decided to share it on my blog after I'd revisited painting my Edwardian Home's living room. This living room had a picture rail - ya know, the bit of moulding that goes around the entire room about a foot...

I had a friend recently remark after my 'purple to mink' living room makeover that my accessories seem to go well no matter what colour the walls are. After thinking about this for a while, I came to realise that there are a few very specific reasons for why that is...
