Sometimes an entire room begins with just one pattern.

A fabric that catches your eye, a wallpaper colour you keep returning to—or an unexpected combination that suddenly makes everything else fall into place.

If you’re planning an autumn decorating project, samples are the loveliest place to begin. And if you love a design but cannot quite find the right shade, many of my patterns can also be recoloured to suit your room.

Which pattern would you begin with?

Samples are available through my website, or you’re always welcome to contact me for help putting a scheme together.

Hello September 🍂

That moment when Summer hasn’t quite left, but the colours of Autumn are beginning to creep in.

Sunflower yellow, burnt orange, raspberry red, deep green, old wood and layers of pattern — suddenly these colours feel completely at home again.

I’ve always loved interiors that change gently with the seasons rather than being completely restyled. A bunch of flowers, a bowl of fruit, books moved around… and somehow the whole room feels different.

And perhaps that’s why I love textiles so much. Pattern and colour have a way of making a room feel warm, collected and lived in — whatever the season.

A little September colour from my home.

Welcome September. I think I’m ready for you…🌻🍊

How much pattern is too much?

In this case… it seems there’s no such thing. 🤍

I’m completely in love with this room from Hunters Glen Residence, designed by Emily Summers Design Assoc.

My Laibik Small Print in Storm has been used across the walls, curtains and sofa, wrapping almost the entire room in one pattern — and yet the result feels wonderfully calm.

It’s such a beautiful example of how a small-scale print can almost become a neutral when used en masse, creating texture and rhythm rather than overwhelming a space.

Seeing one of my designs used with such confidence is incredibly special. 💙🤍

Would you be brave enough to take one pattern this far?

Sometimes the best walls aren’t wallpapered at all…

I’m not a wall artist as such — my world is fabric and wallpaper — but for this room I wanted something completely bespoke and handmade. So I created my own floral stencil and used it to print the pattern directly onto the wall.

I used Farrow & Ball India Yellow, softened with a little white, with Radicchio No. 96 for the floral detail — colours that worked beautifully with the fabrics and trims I’d chosen for the room.

You can see some of the original fabric samples from the room here on my studio table, together with the beautiful trim from Camilla Hampton.

So it was especially lovely to see this image featured in the September issue of Period Living, as part of their piece on wall stencilling. Thank you to Holly Reaney and the Period Living team for including it. 💛

And if you fancy creating a bespoke wall of your own, have a crack at it! The article talks you through the stencilling technique as a weekend project.

You’ll find it on page 78 of the September issue of Period Living — on the shelves now.

There’s something rather wonderful about making a little part of your home entirely your own.❤️💛

Playing with colour… and I need your help. 🌸

I’ve been experimenting with some new colourways for our Lulu fabric, and before deciding which ones make it into the collection, I’d love to know which you would actually choose.

Each Lulu colourway has been created to sit beautifully alongside our Zola Stripe, giving you an easy way to mix floral and stripe within the same scheme. And they also work with the corresponding Indian Summer colourways — perfect for layering patterns.

So… which Lulu would you love to see added to the collection?

Swipe through and tell me your favourite in the comments — 👇

I’m genuinely curious to see if we all choose the same one… or if there’s a surprise favourite.

One of the biggest misconceptions in interior design is that decorating a room in just one colour will make it feel flat or uninspiring.

I think the opposite can be true.

The secret isn’t always adding lots of different colours. It’s layering many shades of one colour. Powder blue, duck egg, soft teal, faded denim and deep indigo each have their own personality. Together they create rooms that feel calm and full of depth.

Mixing patterns helps too. Florals with geometrics. Delicate prints with bolder designs. Wallpaper with fabric. It really can work beautifully together…

That’s one of my favourite ways to design a space especially if you love one particular colour and can never have enough of it

🎨Now I’m curious…

Do you already have a room that’s centred around one colour?

If not, what colour would you be brave enough to try?

Some interiors never ask for attention… yet they’re the ones you remember.

Perhaps it’s the softened colours, the timeworn wood, or the way floral fabrics and wallpaper quietly belong together.

I’ve always believed the most beautiful rooms aren’t built around trends. They’re collected over time, layered with pieces that feel as though they’ve always been there.

Whether it’s a lampshade, a cushion, a length of fabric or wallpaper on the walls, every layer adds another chapter to the story.

If you’re planning a room, I’d always recommend starting with samples. Seeing the colours and textures in your own light changes everything—and often leads you in a direction you hadn’t expected.

I’d love to know…

Are you drawn to timeless florals, or do you usually choose something bolder?
