How to Create a Home That Actually Feels Like You 😍(Introducing My New eBook!)

If you’ve ever walked into a room in your house and thought it was missing something... you’re not alone.

Many of us end up decorating with what’s ‘safe’, what’s ‘in’, or what a random influencer made us think we wanted. The result? Spaces that look like they could be anyone’s.

That thing your home is missing? It’s you.

I believe your home should be where you’re completely, unapologetically yourself. If you’re craving a space that’s full of personality, then eclectic interior design is probably right up your alley. That’s exactly why I wrote my brand new eBook:

Mismatched Home: An Eclectic Guide to Decorating Your Space

Why I Created This eBook

I’ve spent years transforming my own family home into a space that feels completely us. That meant ignoring advice to play it safe, bending design ‘rules’, blending old with new, pairing patterns that supposedly clash, and finding joy in secondhand treasures.

So, I decided to bottle up everything I know into a guide you can use to create a home that’s beautiful, functional, and unmistakably yours.

What’s Inside

This isn’t just a pretty picture book (although there are plenty of gorgeous photos from our home). It’s a step-by-step, rule-bending, confidence-boosting guide that covers:

  • The art of eclectic design – how to mix eras, colours, shapes and patterns (without the chaos)
  • The 7 must-have elements that instantly make a space feel more thoughtful and personal (spoiler: rugs are non-negotiable!)
  • How to shop secondhand like a pro and find treasures that tell your story
  • Trends worth trying right now (like painted ceilings and bookshelf wealth)
  • Practical planning tips so your home works for your lifestyle (instead of looking like a showroom)

This isn’t about chasing trends or getting a Pinterest-perfect home — it’s about curating a space that feels like your favourite pair of jeans: comfortable, loved, and moulded to you.

Why You’ll Love It

If you’ve ever:

  • Felt nervous about mixing styles and colours
  • Wanted your home to look interesting, not just “nice”
  • Been stuck with rooms that feel flat or incomplete
  • Wondered how to inject personality without blowing your budget

…then this eBook will feel like a coffee catch-up with your most interior-obsessed friend (me!).

Ready to Create Your “Youest” Home Yet?

You don’t need a massive budget, a mansion, or even a strong grasp of ‘design rules’ to make your space beautiful. You just need a few tricks of the trade, a little confidence, and permission to decorate in a way that makes you happy.
