Natural Autumn Scents for a Cosy Home

Natural Autumn Scents for a Cosy Home

by lucylovesya | Nov 12, 2026 | Design Interiors, DIY/Projects, Lifestyle, News

As a nature-led interior designer, I’m always looking at ways to bring natural elements into the home. As the season is well and truly Autumn, I like to make subtle adjustments to my interiors and explore how autumn essential oil blends can complement these...
A Clutter-Free Entrance: Good for the Home and the Mind

A Clutter-Free Entrance: Good for the Home and the Mind

by lucylovesya | Oct 21, 2026 | Design Interiors, DIY/Projects, News

A clutter-free entrance can make a real difference to how a home looks and feels. I think the entrance to our homes is an interesting and important space to consider when it comes to interior design. It’s often somewhere we focus on making practical, but it can...
What Rescue Dogs Have Taught Me About my Home

What Rescue Dogs Have Taught Me About my Home

by lucylovesya | Sep 3, 2026 | Design Interiors, Lifestyle, News

Choosing to rescue our dogs, Malcolm and Dolly, came about in an unexpected way. When we lost Sandy early last year, I couldn’t imagine ever having another dog. He was family and my ‘soul dog’. But a few months later, while talking to a friend, I said that I...
Summer Scents for a Natural Home

Summer Scents for a Natural Home

by lucylovesya | Jul 30, 2026 | Design Interiors, DIY/Projects, Lifestyle, News

Choosing summer scents for a natural home is one of my favourite ways to define the change of seasons. As a biophilic interior designer, and the daughter of an aromatherapist, I’ve always been aware not only of how a home looks and feels, but also of its aroma....
The Most Overlooked Principle of Biophilic Design

The Most Overlooked Principle of Biophilic Design

by lucylovesya | Jul 8, 2026 | Design Interiors, Lifestyle, News

When we think of biophilic design, we often picture homes filled with plants, natural materials and earthy colour palettes. While these elements all clearly help strengthen our connection with nature, there is another important aspect of biophilic design and something...

As promised here is part 2 aka completed space. It As promised here is part 2 aka completed space. It feels twice as big and lovely having no clutter…

It’s lucky that the view out there is also enjoyable and is an extension of the greenery and natural textiles. Daily we see owls, birds of prey, deers and even sometimes grass snakes 🐍

Panelling makes a difference and creates a great book. I love that I can make elements such as seats and cushions. I had my family tree done recently and turns out lots of family have been crafty and one relative also had a daughter called Betsey, more on that soon ❤️ …

That grim open fronted shoe storage now has doors and bobbin trim, that we added on to give a splash of character. You may have noticed I love a colour drench…

And what do you think of these knobs with back plates? I think they are really cute 😍

Quite a lot more to come here with room updates in the next few months. We have waited years to do it so really looking forward to it. Follow along to see. Have a great day x

Holding out for cosy early Autumn. Maybe even just Holding out for cosy early Autumn. Maybe even just some cooler weather … just imagine it… cup of tea in bed and the pitter patter of rain drops on the window 😍💦💕 

I have some home projects on the horizon involving panelling (including this room) so watch this space… 🏡🔨❤️

NEW BLOG POST - AROMAS 💕😍 Hope you are getting th NEW BLOG POST - AROMAS 💕😍

Hope you are getting through this latest heatwave? ☀️
I love Summer but this level of humidity is a challenge for me. 

Anyway, I always love to have a nice scent at hand in our home every season, and as the daughter of an aromatherapist 🌱, grew up with gorgeous concoctions of fragrances lingering in our home. I have suggested some blends and why they are great for the summer. Hope you enjoy it. Link in bio x

Thank you to my daughter Mae for her lovely illustrations here and in the blog post. 🎨🖌️

I’ve also featured my fab @briiv.natural Pro 2 Air Filter that I have talked about before (past collaboration), because you can add essential oils to compliment the clean air it produces. (Fyi - they have a 50% off sale on refurbished Filters at the moment 👏💕😍).

How are you today? I thought I would write a post How are you today? I thought I would write a post to let you know more about my work if you are new to following me - and thank you. 🙏🏼

I am Lucy, an interior designer (qualified with KLC School of Design) and have a strong interest in biophilic design ie bringing the out-door in (using natural elements where possible and if desired). I am really passionate about this and the well-being it can bring to peoples’ lives. Also, I’m a Colour Therapist which ties in very nicely with the impact of colour in our homes and our lives generally. You might have noticed I have a design Podcast too - and will soon be doing some more episodes. 🎙️💕

Blogging wise, I started waaaay back when it was a new thing and have been doing it ever since, and was lucky to enough to win a prestigious award for my 🌈 colourful interior inspiration. Actually I started blogging as I also was making things including blinds and curtains (and my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses!) but it soon evolved to interior designing. ✂️🧵

Before this I worked in theatre, and television in front of and behind the camera on lots of programmes since I was pretty young and loved the experiences it brought me - my first part was a boy (with a pudding bowl haircut in Miss Marple for the BBC. No point hiding it as it is shown on tv still… arghh haha. Working on these shows was so valuable to learn about the psychology of people and set design. I am quite a shy person really but the industry helped me come out of my shell. 🎬📽️

My other passion is rescue doggies and I volunteer for a charity rehoming labradors. You may have seen I now have 2 Italian street dogs here at home who have been a challenge but I have also learned a lot from them. 🐾😍

Thanks again for following me. I will be updating more often with tutorials and interior posts so keep an eye out. 👋🏻🏠

What is the most over looked principle of biophili What is the most over looked principle of biophilic design? In fact, this question extends to interior design full stop. I’ve put together a blog post if you’d like to know more about this and also my colour therapy too. 

If only such strong shadows were created all year round. I love the summer for this (not so much the flies 🪰)

The gorgeous lamp is from a past collaboration with @tomraffield 💕

Having spent a fair amount of time in hospitals recently with loved ones, I felt kind of compelled to put together a blog post about some of the big benefits of biophilc design in healthcare - you can find it in my bio above. 
Also as you can see I put together a palette and a design example of how it could look. Obviously NHS is stretched for cash but food for thought moving forwards. 
Do have a read if you’d like and here is to a cooler day. I’ve been melting 🥵😃💕🌱

Yippee! The clocks have changed. But as ever, don’ Yippee! The clocks have changed. But as ever, don’t ask me which way. The eternal question. Anyway, more daylight which can never be a bad thing. 

Update: I have a new blog post up on simple styling with one change - link above will take you to it x

Have a lovely one 💓

Why paint interior doors? 🚪🧹 💕 Sometimes just giv Why paint interior doors? 🚪🧹 💕

Sometimes just giving the door a lick of paint is all you need to achieve impact or create a feature. It also can add an affordable accent, and without overwhelming the space if you’re not a keen colour drencher! 

I still love this shade of pink. What colour would you go for?

Ad. Some time ago I watched @tomraffield build his Ad. Some time ago I watched @tomraffield build his own house on Grand Designs which is still one of my all time favourite episodes. 🏠
Not long before I had visited a factory that steam bent wood to make furniture and I’d become a bit obsessed with the beauty of this craft, so to see Tom use this skill with his own interiors company was very exciting. 🙌🏻
Roll on a while since and I’ve interviewed Tom on my Live Your Own Way design podcast (lovely and interesting man I might add) and now I finally have one of his beautiful designs in my home. 
This is the Skipper Small Floor Light and the detail is amazing. Made with sustainability sourced oak, birch plywood and brass. Finished with eco friendly natural wax oils. 🪾💡💕

Just the right height for reading here. I also like it in the snug here at home so you’ll probably see it somewhere else soon. 

Ps - anyone else feeling a bit Spring like? I swear I saw blue skies yesterday 🙏🏻

Which is your favourite way to decorate? 1. Colou Which is your favourite way to decorate?

1. Colour on the walls, but elements kept neutral 🩵🤍
2. Colour drench - not just painting the wall, but doors and skirting too 🩵
3. Neutral overall. With pops of colour? 🤍

This is a recent design on one area of a room. When I work with online clients I don’t always get to see the end result so photo real is very satisfying!
