Here's my quick guide to achieving the perfect 'shelfie'. You can create a shelf photo worthy of any interiors Instagram feed by following three simple rules; good lighting, the right angle and beautiful styling. The starting points are the same for both achieving the perfect shelfie and the perfect selfie. However, the shelfie needs a little more TLC and a bit of prep behind it. As I found out, taking the perfect shelf shot is easier said than done! In this post, I'm going to go through how to achieve a mouthwatering shot like the one above. We've recently introduced…

Hello, Elle here. One of my favourite jobs is scrolling through Instagram looking at your feeds and gushing over the gorgeousness of your images. It's a hard job, but I take it all in my stride (!) I love seeing how you guys use our products in your homes, and in the hopes of inspiring more people, I'm starting a monthly series showcasing some of my favourite pictures.

We've all done it. Seen a photo online featuring a gorgeous room-set, acquired the featured paint finish in our chosen shade and bam the room is redecorated. But what a let down the end result can sometimes be. The high-end designer paint you've just splashed out for, highlights every lump and bump your plasterwork has accumulated over the last however many years. And not only that, the first time you 'brush' past it with the hoover, it's irreparably marked. Not to mention the rogue fingerprint you try to remove with a 'quick wipe-down'. Disaster! Well never again - this guide…

Gold is the new copper. Apologies to all you copper lovers out there, but this year it's all about brass and those beautiful golden tones. It started having its moment in 2017, but this year we predict it to be the finish that everyone wants in their home. Don't just take our word for it, one of our favourite bloggers Kimberley from Swoon Worthy has written a great post on the interior trends of 2018, confirming what we already knew. There's something about this finish that's got staying power. It's luxurious, decedent and stands the test of time. Gold screams glamour.…

And how to incorporate the must have colours into your home I'm literally always on the look out for inspiration and ideas to keep my home looking fresh and on-trend.
