As you know, the open-plan kitchen-living room has been a feature of modern homes for decades. The architect in me, loves knocking down walls to create a decent-sized living space and flood some natural light in from different directions. But is it too much of a good thing?

Our bedroom is the last place we see when we close our eyes and the first thing we see when waking up. It should be a space that not only reflects our personality but also allows us to decompress.

In the UK we are under another lockdown. Interior design has never been more important. We need to feel like our homes can deliver everything we need them to.

We have all had to pivot and adapt to using our spaces in more ways than we had originally planned for them to be used. If space is limited, multipurpose furniture is your best friend!

In this digital age where we can all just sit in our own rooms with our phones and forget about the world around us, such spaces need to be intentional.
