There is no point being cool about this but when the top selling interior title in the UK – Ideal Home Magazine – asked me to appear on their new look website as their featured interior stylist blogger, I had butterflies inside! The post is part of their 10 Questions with… interview series.

Ideal Home chat to their favourite interior stylist and/or blogger and asks them to share their trend predictions and styles. And this time – it was my choice. You can read the post HERE to find out what I spilled the beans on.

But if you don’t want to leave my blog (thank you!) I have popped a snippet here for you to enjoy.

Home Decor Tips From An Interior Stylist

When decorating a room, where should you spend your money and where should you NEVER cut corners?

Ooh – good question! It’s worth spending money on the fundamental basics of a room – like decent flooring, smooth plastered walls or lovely internal doors. We’ve all seen cheap laminate looking shoddy after a few years haven’t we? Good paint is also a worthy investment as with cheaper brands as you need more coats so you end up spending the same amount in some cases. In my own home, I paid a little more by upscaling the architectural touches – like nice skirting, ceiling roses and replacing white plastic light switches for nice black ones. You can always shop around for expensive brands on-line for the best prices to make your decorating budget stretch a bit further.

What’s your favourite room in your home and why?

God, I love every room in my home – mainly as I have just renovated it from top-to-bottom. My bathroom is extra special with the beautiful roll top bath (a long-term dream of mine) and my kitchen has become instagram famous with the patterned flooring. I’m still working on my living room and dining area – but I love having a project on the go.

Describe your style in three words:

Begged, borrowed and blue.
