I’ve always believed interior design begins with connection , between people, materials, light, and architecture. When textures, colour, and space work in harmony, a home starts to feel layered, cohesive, and deeply personal.

Collaboration is at the heart of my process. Whether we’re sharing ideas or experimenting with fabrics and finishes, I love seeing how concepts evolve through connection. Read on to hear about a recent collaboration with a fabulous upholsterer that brought this philosophy beautifully to life.

Because at its heart, great design isn’t just styled. It’s connected.

Interior design in 2026 continues to move towards homes that feel calm, grounded and emotionally connected. 

I feel there is a continuing desire for interiors to support everyday living while remaining sophistically well designed and enduring. One approach that responds beautifully to this  shift is colour drenching, a technique that allows colour, light and architecture to work  together in a more considered way.

There is something utterly enchanting about a home that whispers stories of the past while embracing the elegance of the present.
