I didn’t always know I’d end up writing about interiors. Like many creative careers, mine didn’t follow a neat or obvious path—it evolved slowly, shaped by instinct, curiosity, and a deep love of home.
I started out as a writer, working across various industries. Some stuck, some didn’t. But the moment I wrote my first piece for an interiors brand, a tiling company in fact, it felt different. Natural. Like something clicked into place.
Because when I looked back, it became clear: interiors were always there. Not just in my work, but in my life.
1. It Started Early—with Colour, Curiosity and Constant Rearranging
Even as a teenager, I was that person.
I’d move my bedroom furniture around every few weeks, just to see how it changed the feel of the room. I’d experiment with colour, texture, and mood before I even had the language for it. While some kids had posters on their walls, I had colour swatches and layout plans in my head.
I didn’t think of it as “design” back then. I just knew that my surroundings affected how I felt—and I wanted to shape them intentionally.
2. My First Flat (And a Taste of Transformation)
In my early twenties, I bought my first flat.
It wasn’t huge or fancy, but it was mine. I made lots of changes to it—some bold, some budget-friendly—and loved every moment of turning it into a space that reflected me. That sense of ownership, of crafting something from the inside out, was deeply satisfying.
That was probably the first time I truly understood the power of design not just to change a room—but to change how you live in it.
3. A Victorian Terrace, and a Shared Love of Projects
Not long after, I helped my boyfriend—now my husband—renovate his tall Victorian terrace in Hereford. It was our first big project together, and the beginning of what would become a shared passion for taking unloved homes and breathing life back into them.
From there, we bought another fixer-upper just outside Hereford. Then another, near Cirencester. Each house had its own quirks, its own problems, and its own story waiting to be told. And we loved uncovering that story, one room at a time.
4. Then Came the Georgian House—Our Most Ambitious Project Yet
And then we found a 200-year-old Georgian house, full of history, character… and challenges. It hadn’t been lived in for over two years. There was black mould on the walls. The ceilings were falling down. It was practically derelict—and it was listed, which meant extra red tape at every turn.
Most people thought we were mad. And maybe we were.
But we saw the bones—the elegance of Georgian proportions, the potential hidden under years of neglect. And slowly, carefully, we brought it back to life. Room by room, we restored the space while respecting its heritage. Today, it’s a beautiful, light-filled home—and the proudest chapter in our renovation story.
5. How That Journey Led Me to Writing for the Interiors World
Through all of that—from budget DIY projects to major structural overhauls—I developed a deep, firsthand understanding of design. Not just what looks good, but what works. What matters. What lasts.
So when I began working with interior designers and home brands as a content writer, it felt completely natural. I wasn’t writing from the outside—I was speaking from lived experience.
6. Why Interiors Still Light Me Up
Design sits at the perfect intersection of logic and emotion.
It’s practical, functional, and often technical. But it’s also deeply personal. It shapes how people feel, how they move through their day, how they experience comfort, identity, creativity, or calm.
As a writer, I’m fascinated by that balance—and I love putting it into words. I help interior designers and brands capture their vision, voice, and values through thoughtful, intentional copy. Whether I’m writing a website, a blog, or a brand story, my goal is always the same: to connect people to spaces in a way that feels meaningful.
I didn’t set out to specialise in interiors. But in hindsight, I’ve been telling stories about spaces my whole life.
From rearranging furniture in my teenage bedroom, to renovating a derelict Georgian house, to now helping designers articulate their craft—I’ve seen how powerful interiors can be.
They hold our memories. Reflect our personalities. And shape how we feel.
If you’re a designer looking for a writer who truly understands the heart of a home—and the art of telling its story—I’d love to help you bring it to life.
