Homeowner

Modern rustic, with a splash of colour.

My next project: Decorating the outside of our home - sigh! I know my neighbours will be pleased, but I prefer spending money on the walls I can see from inside!

About me: Houzz UK Contributor. I have been an interiors journalist since 1995, writing several books on design and numerous features for glossy homes mags over the years. For Houzz, I cover decorating ideas and trends and interview designers and professionals for their insights to create in-depth features. My favourite pieces to write, though, are Houzz Tours, as I love exploring and learning about real homes. Call me curious — or nosy!
