Ideal Home Truths

Where is your happy place?

My happy place has to be in the bath after a long day. Which is why I like to keep my bathroom filled with as many pretty things as possible - little soap dishes to trinkets I’ve picked up on holiday. I also go for things on the quirky side - just recently I picked up a Joe Lycett painting of Gail Platt to hang in my bathroom!

What’s your home addiction?

I love a bohemian style but I’m also a little bit of a magpie - I love anything with a bit of sparkle. My mum made me a lampshade out of second-hand beads and it's my favourite part of my bedroom. I also have a moderate obsession with leopard print - I’m currently on the hunt for leopard print glassware.

What is your next home project?

I’m currently in the process of decorating my living room. It’s a standard rental property so I’m trying to inject as much fun into the room as possible. My friend and I are planning to mosaic the coffee table, turning it from standard Ikea white to a Grecian dream with blue and white tiles.
