My Six go-to affordable online furniture shops
America I am jealous of you for one reason (yup, probably just the one). You have LOADS of affordable online furniture shops to choose from without lead times. How is that fair? We either get expensive stuff quickly (vintage mainly) or cheap stuff which takes ages (except Ikea - I heart you forever and especially now I learned that you don't have bins under the desks in your offices to help with recycling, this makes me happy). Here are the six UK online furniture stores that

Six notes on my bathroom renovation
The previous bathroom in our pad was like something from a horror film, poor Raymond (RIP) did NOT know how to decorate. It had weird waterproof wallpaper (yep, that's a thing) and some blue tiles and a blue loo seat (the man did know how to match I will give him that) and just a revolting smell / look / general vibe. We used the bathroom like this for about 10 months, just so lush. Getting into a dusty bath (I had to clean it before I used it due to all the building dust) at


Six Black Friday deals from La Redoute
La Redoute + Black Friday = depleted bank account for me. 40% off everything is a pretty good deal and i've been checking out all the homeware to find the best bargains. I've bought quite a bit from them in the past and It's generally been good quality, but always read the reviews as they are useful and the delivery times can be quite random, from a few days to weeks & weeks so bear that in mind. I was gonna do some gift guides this year but I absolutely hate seeing stupid in


Six buys for under £100 to make your home a bit more interior designer-y
Here are six things that I think make a room feel more well designed, more grown-up and a little bit more stylish. It's really hard to get a space that feels 'pulled together' on the cheap but these will help for sure and if they don't I will personally refund you*. All £100 or less (except my wall lamp which has gone up in price by a tenner, Maisons Du Monde you cheeky scamps) and no manual labour required other than drilling a few little holes. 1. ROUND MIRRORS Square mirro


Six hand soaps that aren't Aesop (and less £££)
When I was styling my bathroom the other day in the 22 seconds I left myself between getting Jude dressed / fed / changed / down to nap and running to the market to pick up some bunches of eucalyptus and unidentifiable foliage I realised that I'm a little bit over Aesop. YES i love it, yes it is a cult brand and iconic product and yes it smells amazing but it's REALLY spenny and it's really overused and I just can't justify £30 anymore (when could I ever). I picked these six


Six top buys from H&M Home and how to style them
My house is filled with H&M home accessories (mixed with random vintage). If you haven't tapped it up yet you really need to give it a go. It's cheap, the stock is refreshed a lot (seasonally like fashion not bi-annually like most furniture shops) and they are bang on trend. I love you Sweden. The webshop is ok but the stores are best so if you can make a trip to one of the H&M's that have the homeware dept (annoyingly mainly London) DO IT. They have tonnes more stuff. I've p

Six places to find huge, cheap rugs
By popular demand (well requested by two people, which considering I have a readership of about 5 people isn’t too bad – hi dad) here are six of the best places to shop large rugs. By large I’m talking above 200 x 300cm and under £1000. I know £1000, it's still A LOT OF DOLLAR but rugs are just spenny. My most worldly piece of interiors advice would be to buy the biggest rug you can afford / find; it will make the room feel so much more cohesive and pulled together - the bigg

Six Ikea classics and how to style them
1. THE IVAR CABINET from £45 We used this in the alcove one side of the chimney breast in Jude's room. Josh was worried it would look budget because obviously it wasn't the exact right size and he wanted to spank a shit ton of cash on bespoke cabinetry but I was like 'HELP ME I'M POOR' (Bridesmaids anyone?) so we settled on this £65 jobbie. We had to stain it, I picked the Dinesen products which we also used on our cheap yellow pine floorboards and it was a real win and worth
