A home isn’t just four walls and a roof, it’s your daily backdrop, your sanctuary, and, let’s be honest, the one place you should never want to escape from.
But is your home showing you the love you deserve? Or is it draining your energy, suffocating your style, and making everyday life feel like an uphill battle?
A well-designed home should work for you, making life smoother, cosier, and infinitely more enjoyable. So, here’s how to design a home that loves you back!

Make your home adapt to your routine (not the other way around)

No one likes a one-sided relationship, and if your home is constantly making life harder, forcing you to squeeze past furniture, hunt for everyday items, or deal with awkward layouts – it’s time for a change.
First things first: walk through your home and pay attention to the places that feel clunky or inconvenient. Do you take a longer route than necessary just to avoid bumping into the coffee table? Or are you always wedged into a tight corner when sitting at the dining table? If your furniture is working against you, it’s time to rearrange.
For particularly tricky spaces, take a bird’s-eye view approach: measure your room, sketch it out (or use an online floor planner), and test different layouts before committing to a move-a-thon. If large pieces like sofas or tables feel overwhelming, consider downsizing to a more proportional alternative.
For even more flexibility, go for built-in solutions. A bench seat in a dining nook not only saves space by sitting flush against the wall but can also double as hidden storage. That’s what we call a love seat.

Creating a space that feels like a warm hug

Looks aren’t everything—your home should feel amazing too. If your space lacks warmth, softness, and areas for relaxation, coming home might feel less like a comforting hug and more like walking into a soulless showroom.
The good news? A few simple swaps can make all the difference.
Start by upgrading your textiles. Replace stiff, scratchy throws and cushions with softer, textured fabrics like bouclé, velvet, or chunky knit. If your beautiful wooden or tiled floors feel a little chilly underfoot, layer up with rugs to add instant cosiness.
Lighting is also a game-changer. Overhead lights are great for visibility, but on their own, they can make your space feel sterile. Layer up with table lamps, wall sconces, or dimmable bulbs to create that soft, ambient glow that makes a home feel warm and inviting. Basically, less hospital lighting, more candlelit dinner.

Making your home look and feel like you

A home that loves you back should feel like yours—not just a collection of furniture from the latest Instagram trends. If your space feels more like a generic showroom than a reflection of you, it’s time to infuse some personality.
We’ve been conditioned to think that personal touches clutter a space, but our designers are here to tell you that personality is in, and sterile spaces are out.
Frame family photos, display your favourite books, or put out sentimental décor that makes you smile. The trick is to curate, not clutter—grouping similar items together in a thoughtful way.
Take the bedroom above, for example, the green colour scheme and warm accents were inspired by a painting (featured in the gallery wall) from the homeowner’s grandad, transforming it into a space full of meaning and warmth. If you have a sentimental piece, consider using it as a jumping-off point for your room’s colour palette.
Mixing old and new pieces is also a fantastic way to instantly personalise your home. Pair modern furniture with vintage or sentimental items, this prevents your home from feeling too showroom-esque.

Reduce stress with smart storage

If clutter is the first thing you see when you walk into a room, your home isn’t loving you back—it’s stressing you out!
But before you start trying to declutter your entire home in one weekend (which, let’s be honest, never ends well), start small. Clear out that one junk drawer, one high shelf, or one neglected corner at a time—small wins build momentum.
When it comes to storage, vertical space is your best friend. Floating shelves, wall-mounted cabinets, and even a pegboard in the kitchen or office can help keep everyday items within reach without cluttering up surfaces.
And storage doesn’t have to be boring! Baskets, ottomans with hidden compartments, and vintage cabinets can be stylish and practical at the same time. But if you’re truly drowning in clutter, bespoke built-ins like fitted wardrobes or under-stair storage are the ultimate love language of a functional home.
If clutter’s causing chaos, let’s bring back calm – book a free call with one of our friendly designers today.
Bring in natural elements for a healthier home

A home that feels stale, artificial, and disconnected from nature isn’t doing your well-being any favours. Bringing in natural elements instantly makes a space feel fresher and more inviting.
First off, make sure you’re maximising natural light in every room – you and your home will love that extra dose of vitamin D! Remove any items that block the flow of light, clean your windows and user mirrors to bounce that beautiful light around the room.
Next, add plants. They improve air quality, add colour, and (bonus!) make you look like you have your life together. Not great at keeping plants alive? No worries—snake plants, pothos, and peace lilies are practically unkillable!
Finally, think about materials. Wooden furniture, linen curtains, and stone décor add a sense of grounding and warmth, making your home feel effortlessly inviting.
Let us play the matchmaker between you and your space.

Upgrade your everyday comfort with small luxuries

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. A home that loves you back should make everyday life feel a little more luxurious—without breaking the bank.
Small investments like swapping out old bedding for Egyptian cotton or linen can transform your comfort and sleep. Or how about some luxury scented candles or essential oils which infuse your home with stunning smells, aiding calm and mindfulness.
Whether it’s hand soaps, pillows, throws or crockery, having smaller luxuries which are investments (but not bank-breaking) will make it feel like your home really cares for you (and not just the other way around!).
Just a few pieces of advice from an interior designer can transform your space.
