I’ve just contributed to the BIID’s new resource on AI in interior Design. Now live on their website, ‘AI in Interior Design: the Pitfalls and the Potential’ collects some of my thoughts on this topic, along with those from my fellow panel members from our recent Decorex Design Talk at Olympia. ‘I believe it’s important […]
Another jam-packed year, and with the added excitement of two projects completing this week! (Never again 😝) I’m so very grateful for everything that I’ve been involved with and everybody I’ve had the pleasure of working with this year. New challenges await my return in 2025, but first some much-needed R&R. We wish everybody happy […]
I was delighted to contribute my thoughts on the trend for ‘Luxury Loos’ to The Sunday Times yesterday. In this great article, The Times’ Interiors editor Katrina Burroughs pulled together the latest innovations and current thinking around the interior design of these spaces. There’s no doubt that the loo is an important place, so it’s […]
Wow another interesting year! New projects, lovely clients, awards, some work for myself even… a bit of everything. And still feeling blessed for being so busy in these challenging times.

You might already know that I don’t believe in interior design trends as a major influence on the residential design projects that I undertake for private clients. Sometimes new needs arise as a result of changes in the world though, and lately that’s been a very big and very sudden need in response to Covid-19. […]

For the special edition of kbbreview magazine this month I wrote the first of the articles in this Design Trend special. I wrote about a design approach for our homes that I believe so strongly in… how it works… and that what results from this… Longevity. “Our homes can have a profound effect on our […]
I’m always interested in famous architecture and interior design projects, as they can provide so much inspiration.
