    [AD] Do you ever dream of winning the lottery so you could decorate like a Millionaire? I do. ALL THE TIME! If, like me, you have champagne tastes and a beer budget it can be difficult to get that luxury look at an affordable price.⠀
⠀
However, there are plenty of ways you can create a more luxurious looking home without breaking the bank. When @lottolanduk contacted me and asked me to share my tips and advice for getting that Millionaire look without the huge price tag, I was definitely up for the challenge. ⠀
⠀
To read my tips, click the link in my bio and select this image to be taken straight to the post.⠀
⠀
And if you just aren’t willing to give up your champagne tastes in favour of budget decor, you best start actually playing the lottery so you can decorate like a real Millionaire. ⠀

    [AD] First off, I'd like to start by wishing you all a very Happy New Year. Let's see if we can make it better than 2020. Shouldn't be that difficult in theory but who knows what we'll have thrown at us!!⠀
⠀
While we were all off celebrating Christmas and stuffing our faces with excessive amounts of cheese and crisps (not just me, right?) my first bits of content for my Brand Ambassadorship with @MagnetKitchensUK went live.⠀
⠀
I'm incredibly excited to be working with Magnet this year as I've wanted to for a long time now. Over on the blog, you can now read all about how I styled Magnet's Tatton kitchen in Pebble. This was such a fun project to work on and really pushed me outside of my comfort zone. ⠀

    I have long admired the work of @lukearthurwells. I love his minimal, no-fuss style and his DIYs blow me away. They are so simple yet so effective. So I was really excited to hear of his latest brand collaboration with @Swyft_Home and the new collection of bouclé sofas that they have launched together.⠀
⠀
I'm a big fan of bouclé fabric as I like the texture that it adds. It looks fantastic on Swyft's sofas and I have to say that the price point is rather attractive too. ⠀

    [AD] 2020 really has been quite a year and I don’t think any industry has gone untouched. The consequences of this pandemic will be unfolding into a long and uncertain future. Since the fallout of Coronavirus became more apparent we have witnessed an undeniable shift in consumer attitudes, behaviours and purchasing habits. People are now thinking differently, living differently and ultimately buying differently.⠀
⠀
Health and hygiene are now major consumer concerns, for obvious reasons, and people are looking for products that support a safer and healthier lifestyle. ⠀
⠀
Bathrooms are one area that is getting a lot of focus at the moment when it comes to designing for hygiene. As high-touch areas, the risks are obviously increased.⠀
⠀
In my latest blog post, I take a look at how luxury bathroom brand @Duravit  is meeting the challenges of the post-pandemic era with touchless technology and designs for increased hygiene in the bathroom. ⠀

    I have watched the journey of @floor_story for a number of years now and I really love the approach of founder Simon when it comes to rug design. There have been a number of fantastic designer collaborations over the past few years that really caught my eye. From the likes of @2lgstudio @camillewalala  @adamnathanielfurman and @eleykishimoto1 the collaborations are all so different and individual in their own way.⠀
⠀
I have interviewed Simon and heard all about how he started out, how he chooses which designers to work with and what he believes the next big trends in rug design will be. ⠀
