Ideal Home truths
Where’s your happy place?
My happy place is simple but probably a bit boring – whenever I’m snuggled up on the sofa, reading a good book with a cup of tea in hand, I feel pretty content. That, or wandering around a stunning European city in the sun!
What’s your home addiction?
Recently, I can’t stop myself buying new artwork and prints for the walls in my rather white and minimalist rental. I love adding colour and fun to a simple space in a way that can be switched out when and if my tastes/the rest of my decor changes.
What is your next home project?
My next project involves turning my home office into more of a comfortable, cosy space that actually reflects my decor tastes. Currently, it only really houses items that don’t fit anywhere else (and a solid wooden desk that I love). I can’t wait to turn it into a room with a bit more personality.
