Think 1970s California with this look. Natural textures, such as rattan and wood, will give your room a retro style, but bring things up to date by picking lighter wooden shades.

Combine warm earthy tones with candy colours for a playful, summer beach house vibe. Steer away from mixing lots of heavily patterned prints and focus on colour blocking this creates a great backdrop for one or two statement prints to shine.

Kitchen

‘We were very lucky to inherit modern kitchen that didn’t need much money spent on it. It was a bit unexciting — just plain white units and pale grey walls but that meant it was easy to refresh and update. was keen to paint the walls dark and used Farrow & Ball’s Down Pipe, which think has worked well, as it’s bold and makes the units stand out. I'm so pleased with my splashback. spotted the tiles when was researching for our bathroom. They were too expensive for a whole room, but could afford a small area, Those gorgeous teal-coloured tiles absolutely make the kitchen.

My story...

We loved our two-bedroom maisonette in north London, but by the time our second little boy, Sonny, was born we were running out of space. My husband Rich and agreed we wanted a family house with period details and plenty of character, and we knew we'd have to move further out for an affordable property that we loved.

With young children, a big renovation project wasn't in an option, so this house was perfect. The interior was — good shape the original features such as the ceiling mouldings and fireplaces were intact, and loved the beautiful old stained glass in the French doors. Some things, like the neutral bathroom and dark laminate flooring weren't to my taste, but overall it was a blank canvas where we could make our own mark.

Over the last five years we've decorated right through, adding dramatic colour, pops of pattern and extra furniture as and when we've needed it. I've inherited an eclectic style from my parents, who were both artists, and love combining old and new. Rich and have various pieces of art that we treasure, and other than that, just go for things like, without worrying about any particular colour palette or theme. I'm also very much a make-do-and-mend person, so I'll always try to |

Dining area eo

‘Although the dining zone is part of the open-plan area, wanted it to feel distinct from the kitchen and snug. The off-white walls and tall cabinets in the alcoves were already here, and like the airy, bright feel, so rather than extending the dark grey, we've kept the same light palette.

The room gets a lot of family use, but there’s nothing too precious here.

The big table was an eBay buy and the auction house, rug was 60 from the local 50 spills and stains don't really matter. like our mix-and-match dining chairs — we often change them if we spot appealing alternatives in a second-hand have a shop or the recycling centre. try to ones the I'll sell so ‘one in, one out’ policy, to them donate or charity, we don't want, so we don't accumulate too much stuff’

_Expert advice How to upcycle second-hand

furniture Upcycling stretches your budget, gets you something unique and saves usable items @ Second-hand shops, house clearances and car boot sales are great places to source furniture.

Auctions are another option and you don't have to be there to bid.

If you do attend the sale, be firm and stick to your budget. @ Repurpose salvaged furniture.

Remove cabinet doors to create open storage or lift drawers out to leave shelves. Make a coffee table by cutting down or replacing the legs ona full-height table.

16 yourhomestyle.uk

@ Painting is the most obvious tool for upcycling old furniture, and it’s also quick and effective.

Specialist products such as Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint are easy to use, and work on many different surfaces. Apply a coloured wax afterwards for a characterful, aged effect. Also look at adding or upgrading fixings such as handles, hinges and legs, all of which will alter the piece’s look. @ Découpage is a brilliant way to introduce decorative patterns.

Gift wrap, paper napkins, wallpaper or images cut from magazines are all suitable for flat surfaces such as a box or tabletop. Once in position, seal

your paper pieces with a découpage or PVA glue, followed by a few layers of varnish.

What I learned... @ Charity shops are a useful place to look for everyday crockery and glassware. often find smaller accessories there too, such as vases, planters, picture frames and mirrors, and it’s guilt-free shopping as you don’t pay much. |

@ Original art doesn’t need to be expensive. Look in antique shops and art fairs for well-priced items. Sites like Etsy and Artfinder offer affordable, original works, or look online for artists willing to work to commission within a budget. @ You can pep up a room quickly simply by moving things.

We sometimes rearrange furniture, change the artwork around or swap rugs, plants, mirrors and bits and pieces from one room to another. Add a new lampshade or a couple of cushions for a budget-friendly refresh.

This room was quite tricky to paint as it has original brickwork, parquet flooring and low-beamed ceilings. Originally, went for an emerald green in here and it was a huge mistake!

Hayley’s entranceway sets the tone for the house.

With its simple bench and mirror, it feels calm

This room has been complete transformed.

‘It was a dark games room when we first moved in/ says Hayley. ‘We ripped everything out and painted it in Setting Plaster

by Farrow & Ball. Now it feels serene and calm’

My story...

When we first viewed this house, we instantly said no.

It felt like it needed an overwhelming amount of work and we were worried we didn't have the budget to make the changes.

The garden is over an acre, but it was waist-high with weeds and felt so daunting.

The kitchen was very dated and the bathroom was from the 1980s. We were worried we'd be taking on too much as it was a big project.

But was also paying for office space for my business at the time and when we went away and did the sums, we realised that this move would allow me to run my business from home, which made it possible financially.

So, we returned to the house and put our highest offer — in, which was despite being less than the asking price |

—

thankfully accepted.

From then on, it was a whirl of hands-on renovating.

Using Pinterest, we planned the rooms and worked out what we needed. Luckily, Paul is very handy, so we could do a lot of it ourselves, including painting, plastering and tiling. Doing it on such a tight budget has been an amazing learning curve.

We've managed to redecorate room by room and have created a beautiful, calm space that works for our grown-up family and my work needs. We've only been here 18 months and I'm definitely still in the honeymoon period. love every room, but all for very different reasons. Essentially, love the potential this house has given us as a family and as a business. |

You will need * Cane webbing * Old lampshade * Sandpaper * Glue gun * Scissors * Natural raffia ribbon der

First, measure the diameter and height of the old lampshade and cut a piece of cane webbing to

size, allowing for a small amount of overlap.

Place some weighted objects on the cane to flatten it for couple of hours.

Meanwhile, carefully strip the fabric from the old lampshade and remove any hardened glue with a piece of sandpaper.

Start sticking the webbing to the first lampshade ring with the glue gun, working around the ring a few centimetres at a time.

Repeat at the other end with the second ring.

Once the glue has dried and hardened, carefully trim the excess cane at the top and bottom of the shade with scissors.

Weave the natural raffla ribbon around the top and bottom of the shade to create a neat finish.

'What I wanted ‘to change

‘Originally the kitchen was used as the main living §pace with magnolia walls and old beige carpet.

It was a very long, empty room that lacked heart or soul says Shrez.When we plastered the wall, it was one the turning points in our build. It felt of like the end was near and fell in love with the texture, colour and feeling that fresh plaster gave me. It didn't feel right to cover it with paint, so we left it unpainted as part of our design and saved money on paint as a result! ‘The couple installed a large window at the rear of the property to allow daylight to flood the room. They bought IKEA base units, but got their unusual door fronts from Plykea. ‘We kept our original floorboards, but replaced any that were damaged with ones from upstairs; explains Shrez.

My story...

After four years of living in a 1.5-bed flat, we wanted a bigger home. We couldn't afford to stay in Woolwich, so

looked nearby at Plumstead, which was much more affordable. We fell in love with the area as it was an

altogether greener part of south-east London with lots of great spots for dog walks.

The house was in need ofa complete renovation and the layout of the rooms was crazy! You had to walk into the garden to access the kitchen and the main bathroom led off from a bedroom. the original We kept footprint of the house, but changed the layout.

In May 2018, our builders stripped the entire house back to bare brick. The kitchen was ripped out and walls were put in to divide up two bedrooms to make way for two new bathrooms. We also swapped the living room and kitchen to make better use ofthe space.

Our new home was a building site, so we continued to live in our flat up the road. At 6am every morning, Id visit the site to answer the builders’ questions and drop by again in the evenings to check on the work.

By October 2018, we were finally able to move in.

The downstairs was finished, but we still had to do the upstairs rooms. We taught ourselves DIY skills by watching YouTube videos and learnt how to put up coving and fit skirting. Weekends and evenings were spent up ladders painting.

Although we've made some ofthe bedrooms smaller, our home works for us now. It’s such an incredible feeling to have built somewhere like this that we enjoy living in so much.

What I learned... ® Think about how your family will use the space and what sorts of layouts and colours will make you happy.

Don't choose the things that other people will like you'll be miserable and you'll end up changing it to what you wanted in the first place. ® If you have an idea and you know how to make it work, persevere with it. Just because it hasn’t been done before, or it might not be easy, doesn’t make it impossible. Work through it with your builders, create detailed drawings and share inspo images to show them how it could work. ® It’s easy to get disheartened by looking at all the things left to do. It's more rewarding and motivating to look back at how much you've done.

This is our breakfast room and the first room my husband let me loose onl! just love what a splash of paint, some statement colours and artwork can do to a space. Downsizing our dining table and chairs was also a good move. got the table free on Facebook Marketplace we sanded it down, stained and painted it, and it made an instant difference. think this room has a perfect balance of all our personalities (we have athree-yearold that loves to build dens in here).

It's definitely the centre of ourhome.

WIN A PRIZE! lf your picture appears here, you'll receive a hand crearn from SEAMS, worth 14. Use the

#myHShome hashtag on Instagram to show us your favourite room and you could be in with a chance of winning a prize next month.

This colourful corner is part of one of the bedrooms in my family’s home. White walls are featured throughout the house, but we've added pops of colour with furnishings and accessories from Habitat and retro artwork by Swedish artist Astrid Wilson, which inject some warmth. This room is a particularly sunny room in the house, enjoy sitting here in the afternoon with a coffee to relax and wind down.

Our dining room is modern space full of pastel shades, which I've also managed to make sticky-finger proof! We wanted to create a bright and colourful space that’s easy on the eyes but also easy to clean.

We've styled the room with plants, pastels and geometric shapes. Not forgetting the added touch of one of my favourite — patterns polka dots! a

We bought a beautiful but tired three-storey, double-fronted Victorian semi in 2018. Originally this room was a creepy attic space with a small roof window and the electrics running up the woodchip walls. We knew there was unused space in the roof eaves that we could use to extend the room and add storage. So the wall came down, we added another roof window and got plastering!

Kitchen-diner After completely gutting this room, then knocking it through into the garage and putting in a new kitchen, this space has been transformed. A bright, modern vibe has been achieved by contrasting a pared-back wooden dining table and stools against dramatic dark cabinetry.

An exposed red-brick wall at the far end of the island adds to the effect and frames the small snug space. The bespoke kitchen cabinets are painted in Farrow & Ball Railings and designer lighting by Lee Broom hangs above the island. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is my favourite room in the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Says Sarah.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;| love the high ceiling and the space it gives, and think the lights really bring this height to life |

Phil and had just recently got engaged and were I

planning to move back to our hometown of Leeds when we saw this house. It was within walking distance from parks and the city centre, and we got a good feeling about it from the moment we walked in. We loved that it had potential and we knew we could put our own signature on it. Id definitely recommend going with your gut feeling when looking for your future home. We had seen so many places that just didn't feel right and I'm glad we didn't rush into anything.

The first thing we did was to change the magnolia walls and carpets to a more muted palette, and we also reconfigured the loft room to create a larger en suite bathroom and master bedroom. We left the kitchen area we wanted to live in the house for a while before

as

making the big changes to make sure we got them right.

We spent six months drawing up plans and a further year getting the permissions that we needed. The building work to create the new open-plan kitchen-diner, utility area and garages took another six months. We mostly went for neutral colours, but then there are some really strong shades throughout the scheme too.

For inspiration, looked to Pinterest and magazines, |

and also developed a bit of an addiction to Instagram!

Through doing this project I've definitely developed a love for interiors and, left to my own devices and with an unlimited budget, I'd probably start refreshing all the rooms. We do love the house and are so happy here, but in the future our dream would be to buy a piece of land and build from scratch. Even though it’s completely different from this, minimal barn conversion in the a

countryside would be the ultimate project for us!

Make one-of-a-kind spaces for a little one with these tips

Shop for gallery walls. You can have great fun creating a gallery wall in a child’s room. They often look best when you mix and match frames and different photos and prints. Picture ledges and shelves are another brilliant way to achieve an ever-changing gallery.

> Think beyond the high street.

There are so many amazing independent brands and boutiques in the children's interior world.

Try online stores such as Ferm Living, Liewood and OYOY.

@ Think about colours that will last some time. Sarah stuck to a palette of neutrals that feel calm and relaxing and are non-gender specific. When using two colours next to each other, make sure you pick similar tones. This will create a balanced look that works well. Add

— impact for instance, mustard or coral always look good against greys and pale shades.

A pair of vintage bedside tables (50 at a local antique market) sit either side of the sumptuous Dozer bed that’s dressed with velvet and linen cushions and a Nassau throw from Soho Home. Over the bed hangs a picture of Kate Moss by Mario Testino from East Urban Home at Wayfair

Style idea

Lock into a colour palette for each room and stick to a handful of shades throughout the house as you decorate

Bedroom The pale pink in the couple's bedroom is a classic, calming colour. When paired with a natural carpet and accessorised with tones of green and lilac, the pink works to create a soothing oasis upstairs.

‘The bedside tables were my best buy! says Sarah. ‘They cost me 50 from a local antiques fair. love that they're original and unique pieces that bring a bit of rustic charm to the space! |

@ This theme takes the neutral schemes that were so popular in spring and gives them a more grown-up edge, ready for autumn. Adding richer shades for warmth. @ The caramel tones of milk chocolate are great for mid-tones, use dark and white chocolate to inspire the theme's shadows and highlights.

This will help to create a balance and prevent any muddiness. @ Deep cherry red is a perfect counterpart to velvety chocolate browns, just like in our other retro favourite, Black Forest gateaux. Use pale pinks for a softer look. @ Choose accessories with lots of texture for a multidimensional look. Latch-hooked and Berber-style rugs will keep you cosy

@ Peach is on track to replace ‘Millennial’ pink as our favourite rosy hue. It’s a perfect

match with the earthy colours we've seen take over Instagram this year. ® Cobalt blue and forest greens are great accent colours, providing punchy contrast and preventing the look from becoming sugary. Using green plants is a quick win.

2 Velvet, suede and moleskin textured fabrics give this look a sumptuous and tactile feel, just like a real peach! ® Use metallics to create glistening highlights. Rose gold and copper tones work best as they'll reflect a golden glow. ® Don't be afraid to go old-school with your — pattern choices paisley and graduated are undeniable stripes style classics.

WHY YOU'LL

lok thi

@ These new greens with gentle yellow undertones will look fresh but not cold in north-facing rooms. They'll also feel cosy

and comforting in the winter months. ÂŽ@ Look for colours named chartreuse, olive or apple green. These will have the yellow notes that make this look feel warm. Bluebased greens will feel colder. @ Pair green with pale pink or lilac for a crisp combination and a feminine twist. @ This look works particularly well in rooms that face onto gardens. Use plenty of natural materials to give a sense of continuity. Choose dried flowers for long lasting, low-maintainance displays.

Take the stress out of creating a new look, with a little help from the experts -

OT

e’ve all been there, full of big ideas for a makeover. But when we get to the nitty-gritty, problems start to appear. One brand's ‘Forest Green’ may be another's ‘Olive! Creating a moodboard is the best way to get a true sense of how all the ifferent elements of your new look will come together.

WHY sualkE

A MOODBOARD ?

Moodboards take your ideas and make them tangible. You might have an inkling that blue velvet will look great with mustard walls, but seeing fabric samples and paint swatches together on a moodboard will let you know for sure. It‘ll also help you to share your vision with the other people in your home and the contractors you need to bring your project to life.

Collecting samples for your moodboard is great way ofdiscovering what's out there. You might find a paint supplier you didn't know about, which might lead you to a new fabric you love. When you go down these rabbit holes, moodboard will help to keep you on the straight and narrow.

It’s also a good way to keep track of your budget. Note down how many square metres offlooring or rolls of wallpaper you'll need and recalculate costs when you add new samples to the board. A few pence difference between tiles may feel small when youre looking at individual tiles, but over a whole floor it'll quickly add up. A moodboard will give you an idea of how well elements match and whether the cost difference really Y is worth it. In the long 0 run, it'll help you avoid making costly mistakes. ifit ane 5a while to buy, everythin g you need, the moodboard will help you hold on to your original idea. Don't be afraid of adding to the board as the work progresses —it shouldn't feel like strict set of rules. a

To avoid

You can paint your board with your base colour or, cover it with a plain fabric you want to use. But skip this step if you don't feel ready to make those decisions yet. If your room has items you can't change, or want to keep, take photos of them and add them to the moodboard first. It can help to cut them out if you can see a lot of the room's original decoration around them.

Don't worry about making the board look pretty. Perfect composition isn’t important and trying to achieve it can knock your confidence. Your moodboard is a tool, rather than a presentation. It’s the recipe, not the cake! It can be handy to have a couple of images of perfectly styled rooms on the board for inspiration, but don't rely on them too much. As you work on the moodboard you'll begin to learn more about your own colour preferences and stylistic choices, and its these instincts that you want to develop.

The clearer your vision of your future room is now, the closer to it the end result will be.

Its best to work on your moodboard in in the room you plan to decorate.

The light the room will affect how the samples look and you'll see the colours change slightly during the day. If it’s not practical to work in the room, place your board in the room and go in to take a look at intervals.

USisiw a Whit COLOUR WHEEL

The colour wheel

is the designer's secret weapon for creating beautiful schemes.

The three primary colours (red, blue and yellow) are equally spaced around the wheel, with blended hues in between.

The top half of the wheel can loosely be called ‘warm’ and the bottom half‘cool’ Red is the warmest colour and blue the coolest, so you can work out a colour’s ‘temperature’ by how close it is to them on the wheel. Warm colours will balance the coldness of the light in anorth-facing room and cool colours will create a sense of freshness and space. If you're looking for real contrasts, pair colours on the opposite sides of the wheel. These

are ‘complementary’ colours and placing them together will create a look that pops.

You can also use’split complementary’ colours to create an impactful scheme by

choosing a base colour and selecting the colours next to its complementary colour.

But if you want a more subtle scheme, choose colours that sit next to each other.

These are or ‘analogous’ colours and will gently blend into one another.

Another way to work with colour is to use a monochromatic scheme. Monochrome literally means ‘one colour’ so your whole look will be made up of light and dark shades of the same hue. This works particularly well with neutral or earthy tones.

If youd like to find a neutral for your scheme (when choosing a colour for carpet

‘harmonious

or woodwork, for example) use your main colour's undertone to help you get a good

match. Red or orange will suit warm cream best, whereas blue and green will sit best with cool grey. a

Another important thing to remember while using the colour wheel is to go with your gut. If you like combination that doesn't seem to follow any ofthe rules, but you love how it works on your moodboard, trust your instincts.

Vy coe CARL “a,

When you have a rough idea of the colours you want, use them to guide your sample choices. If you didn’t paint or cover your moodboard with your base colour or fabric at the start, do so before you begin looking for samples.

Collect paint sample charts in your preferred colour scheme. Cards that show gradations of tone are helpful at these early stages. A graduated chart will show you the lightest and darkest tones of chosen colour and as you start to build up samples you can match patterns to these tones to create a cohesive look. If you can't find a graduated chart for a colour you want to a

use, find a large sample and cover parts of it with layers of white tissue paper. This will give you an idea of paler versions you might want to match to. These pale tones will be useful when you're looking for paint for woodwork or coving.

Once you've chosen your base colour, it’s time to think about patterns, accent colours and ways to add texture to the look. Start with large textiles, such as curtains or blinds.

Because these will hang next to the walls, it’s important to make these a good match to

your base colour.

To give your look a balanced texture, mix and match patterns of the same colours in different sizes. Many brands produce collections of patterns like this, so they'll have options for you to choose from. Even if you aren't interested in using pattern, you'll still need to think about texture, or your scheme will look flat. Consider fine textures,

for example a chalk paint or silk, as a very small pattern and build up larger textures — carpets and bricks to balance the look.

Take a picture of your board so you can take it around with you. When youre

—

shopping and spot something you love, take a look at your board to see if it'll suit your theme. If you're still not sure, take a photograph in the shop or ask for sample and add it to your board later.

Keep going back and forth, adding and a

subtracting samples as you go along. Take your time and have fun working out what you like and don't like. As you make these choices, you'll find your confidence beginning to grow. If you get stuck and can't make a decision, move on to a different section of the board. Making a choice about something else might help you to get unstuck. The most important thing to remember though, is to have fun!

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) These tiles and planks combine style and practicality at range of prices. With a a

water- and stain-proof layer, they absorb noise and have a cushioned feel underfoot. LVT comes into its own if you want a stone or wood look, or wish to create your own design from the vast array of colours and patterns. @

Wood You can't beat a wood floor

and with regular sanding and

varnishing it'll last for years. Ifyou want a more affordable alternative that works with underfloor heating, consider engineered flooring: it's made up of layers with a real wood surface and is easier to install than its solid counterpart.

Laminate A practical and budgetfriendly alternative to wood, laminate looks like the real thing while being waterproof and easy to maintain.

Stone

sealed before use to prevent stains.

Stone has a high thermal conductivity, so it’s ideal for underfloor heating. @

Tiles Ceramic tiles are a value-for-

When choosing bathroom flooring, non-slip finish should be the priority, especially for areas that come into contact with water, such as around the bath. Here anti-slip tiles come into their own, though many floorings offer a textured surface for grip. Check also that the material is water-resistant and recommended for bathrooms; many lookalike designs, such as laminate and LVT, are designed with this in mind.

You'll also want to consider something that’s easy to clean. With a wipeable smooth surface, vinyls are ideal, whereas tiles, especially small mosaics with lots of grout will need regular scrubbing. For a cosy feel underfoot choose a thick cushioned vinyl or, if you're going for underfloor heating, consider a range of compatible products from tiles to laminate and LVT. When it comes to style, there are so many materials and designs to choose from, you'll have no trouble giving your space a luxe look. a

Make the most of original features

‘We thought long and hard about whether to replace this cupboard with fitted units to match the rest of the space. But love the character it adds to the room and we thought it would be a shame to rip out the last of the original Victorian features. love to style the shelves with my favourite bits and pieces, and the cupboards and drawers are large enough to hide away ugly kitchen appliances. When we have parties put our drinks and glasses on it and it becomes a help-yourself cocktail bar?

though and we couldn't justify ripping it out just because fancied a change.

I'd seen images on social media of people replacing their existing cabinet doors as budget makeover, so we decided to explore this. Unfortunately, over the years IKEA had changed its cupboard sizes so we couldn't just replace the doors with like-for-like ones, but we also couldn't afford to install whole new kitchen. stumbled across Matt Antrobus's work on Instagram. loved the fact that he could make bespoke doors to our sizes without having to replace the whole unit. It saved us a fortune. wanted something classic that could last another 10 years, so we finally chose this gorgeous blue. also painted the back wall a soft grey to replace the stark white and mirror the colour of the Victorian dresser and the dining table, which Matt also made for us. Then we had all the doors stripped to add warmth to the look. decided to add even more colour by painting some |

My experience...

We removed the dated floral wallpaper and ugly brown carpet in the bedroom when we moved in, but other than painting the room we hadn't got a lot further with it.

We bought a new bed, but our furniture was an eclectic mix and nothing about the room felt relaxing. wanted it to be a cosy and soothing space, but it wasn’t until saw the mural wallpaper, in its soft nude shade, that decided to go for this colour palette. The mural went on the wall behind the bed and picked out a similar colour paint for the other walls, which gave the room a warmer feel. spotted that IKEA sells bamboo-effect panels for its wardrobes. As we had an old Pax design from IKEA, with black glass-panelled doors, we could replace the glass panels with the bamboo ones to give the wardrobe a new look without replacing the whole thing. also found some bedside tables from Wayfair that have a black frame to match our bed, and an armchair from Dwell with black metal legs it’s those details that tie the scheme together.

Then it was on to the fun part: choosing accessories! love natural textures and think some of the bits I've chosen — such as the fringed wall hanging, woven baskets and macramé plant hangers add a relaxed boho touch.

I'm so happy with how it’s turned out and can't quite believe it’s the same room! |

My experience...

While renovating the house, we removed a chimney breast that came up through the bathroom from the kitchen below. This meant the bathroom gained about two square metres, leaving us enough room to install a separate shower. Previously there was just a freestanding bath, which was a pain because guests always wanted to use the shower in our en suite, so we never had any privacy. With the extra space, we moved the bath under the window and installed a shower where

the bath had been.

Moving the bath under the window immediately gave the room balance and symmetry. We also drilled holes in the bath so that taps could be fitted at its edge, with pipes running straight down and under the floorboards out of sight. The shower tray was fitted where the bath had been and a shower screen was added. The finishing touch was the gorgeous Dandelion floor tiles. love the bathroom now especially the shower because it’s so spacious, but also like looking out over the garden while I’m in the bath. It’s a lovely room to relax in but, best ofall, we no longer have guests knocking on our door to use the en suite shower!

INCONVERSATION WITH

Hg

We talk to the brand director of paint and colour experts Fenwick & Tilbrook

How did it all begin?

Fenwick & Tilbrook was created by accident when one of the founders, Simon Tilobrook, was splitting business assets for a client following the insolvency ofa brand with a‘paint arm’to its business. Simon saw promise and a gap in the market for a premium paint brand offering truly high-quality, pigmentrich paint and so Simon and his wife Clare (my mother) went through the process of rebranding and reformulating a gorgeous range of colours under their own brand name.

I've been involved with the business since its creation in 2016. The three of us work closely together on all areas of the business — it truly is a family-run business!

Fenwick Tilbr ook’s pigment-rich paint & colours are insfdired by the natural world

Describe your typical day

days are very fast paced and disappear in the blink of an eye!

As asmall family business, we all muck in — Clare and can often be seen creating bespoke colours or working on colour suggestions for customers who want a bit of help with their colour scheme. But equally we could be processing orders, making paint or packing boxes. |

Who are your stalking on Instagram?

We've recently agreed on a paint collaboration with Greg Penn (@manwithahammen) and so I’m keeping close to the progress he’s making with Admiral’s House, as can't wait to start seeing paint going on the walls! |

Where do you fnd your inspiration?

No two days are the same, which is great. We're a brand that’s growing quickly, so some

ofthe surrounding countryside!

Instagram

is

always a source

of inspiration for home décor ideas — especially following renovation accounts that display enormous levels of drive and hard work.

Who would you love to collaborate with? a paint collection for an interiors retailer like West Elm would be amazing. love their effortless style and company ethos for community — a global retailer with a localised product offering, outside a core range makes real sense to me.
