Case Study: Breathing New Life into a Long, Narrow Living Room

When my clients approached Nest and Flourish Interiors about redesigning their living room, they were feeling stuck. Their mid-century family home had served them well in many ways, but this particular space had become the odd one out it was long, narrow, dark, and uninviting. An outdated fireplace dominated one wall, and while they loved the garden views, the layout didn’t encourage them to enjoy them. The room simply didn’t reflect their personalities, taste, or lifestyle.

Sustainable Interior Solutions: Easy Eco-Friendly Updates That Don’t Compromise Comfort

Inviting sustainability into your home doesn’t mean surrendering comfort or sacrificing your sense of style. If anything, it’s about embracing your individuality and making practical, nurturing changes that enhance both your wellbeing and the planet’s health. I’ve spent years exploring how design choices can influence how we feel physically, emotionally, and even ethically. It’s a journey I’d love for you to embark on, too, recognising that even the smallest steps can lead to a welcoming, eco-friendly space that genuinely feels like home.

A Day at WOW!house

A Day at WOW!house

A recent trip to London took an unexpected turn when a planned half-day meeting was cancelled—suddenly gifting me a whole day to explore the city. And what a treat that turned out to be.

I’d already intended to visit WOW!house at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, but having the extra time meant I could take things slowly, soak it all in, and really get beneath the surface. WOW!house continues to be a masterclass in what interior design can do—not just in terms of style, but how it makes us feel. Read on for my take on this one of a kind design exhibition…

Case Study: From Formal Dining Room to Relaxed Sitting Room

Some rooms in our homes serve a purpose every day—others quietly wait for special occasions that rarely come. In this project, I was invited to transform a little-used formal dining room into a multifunctional haven for reading, relaxing, making music, and working from home. The goal was to create a space that felt calm, contemporary, and connected to the garden views beyond—while still allowing for flexible entertaining when needed. The result is a beautifully balanced room that’s now one of the most loved spaces in the home.

How to Design Family Rooms for Comfort, Connection, and Accessibility

A family room is more than four walls and a few seats—it’s the heart of your home. Yet too often, traditional design unintentionally creates barriers—particularly for those with mobility, sensory, or neurodivergent needs.

At Nest and Flourish Interiors, I believe your family deserves a space that’s not just beautiful, but inclusive, nurturing, and designed for everyone. Here’s what I’ve learned about crafting family rooms that offer dignity, ease, and a deep sense of belonging.
