Welcome

I am a home stylist and writer whose work regularly appears in UK interiors magazines such as The World of Interiors, Homes & Gardens, Homes & Antiques and Ideal Home.

I have written nine books to date; including 'Shoestring Chic,' 'Living with Light,' 'Decorating with Blue and White,' Living with White,' and the latest, 'The Newly-Wed's Guide to Setting up Home.'

Since my first visit to Sweden I have been influenced by the Scandinavian approach to interiors, with their love of nature, and the way homes in the north are designed to make the most of all available light. Houses have a simple, pared-back look that is uncluttered and unassuming, with country fabrics and painted furniture.

This kitchen in Skellefteo, in Northern Sweden is typical of this style with its pale colours and painted units.
