    Does your lounge room feel like a sauna every arvo Does your lounge room feel like a sauna every arvo in summer? 
Before our Brisbane heat really hits, here are 3 quick tips for windows that keep you cool:
	1.	Always line your curtains, ideally with a light backing fabric, facing the glass.
	2.  Layer a sheer in front of the blockout for soft light by day, that also gives you proper shade in the afternoon.
	3.  Go ceiling-to-floor and past the frame so the heat & light can’t sneak around the edges and also gives the whole area a larger, more streamlined look.

    I thought I was changing careers… turns out I'm st I thought I was changing careers… turns out I'm still doing exactly what I've always done 💛

After 20+ years styling wardrobes, my health and the way we all shop nudged me towards interiors. Same eye, same love of helping people feel like themselves, just a bigger room 🛋️

I've shared my story on the blog, plus a few things I've learned about changing direction when life makes the call for you.

Have you had to pivot too? Tell me in the comments 👇

    Holding two rug samples and thinking "…but which o Holding two rug samples and thinking "…but which one?" 🙋‍♀️ You're not alone!

Choosing a rug is one of the trickiest decisions when finishing a room, and it's the one my clients get stuck on most. They're a big investment, they tie the whole space together, and getting the size wrong can make even a gorgeous room feel "off."

A few quick tips from me:
*Go bigger than you think. At least the front legs of your sofa and chairs should sit on the rug.
*Think about how you live. Kids, pets and high traffic call for a hard-wearing, forgiving texture. *Warm, light neutrals are easy to live with and let your furniture and cushions shine.

I've put all my rug advice into a new blog post, and I hope it makes the decision a little easier 💛

What's your biggest rug dilemma? Tell me in the comments and I'll help you out 👇

    Soft light, everyday comfort, and a finish that ju Soft light, everyday comfort, and a finish that just feels right — that’s what I’m going for every time. 

This post is for anyone standing in a room wondering why it doesn’t quite feel finished — nine times out of ten, it’s the windows. Swipe through for what we did in our own Sherwood project…

Soft sheers provide privacy without losing the view. Long fabric drops soften all that glass and black frames, curtain tracks run high and wide to draw the eye up and make the ceilings feel taller — and then at night, it all comes together as the perfect backdrop for lamplight.

Little changes, big difference. Softness, height, atmosphere — that’s the formula.
Thinking about your own windows? If your space could do with a bit more warmth (and a lot less glare), you know where to find me 😊
