As you might have gathered from recent posts, my boyfriend and I are in the process of decorating the house we bought last year – an all-white affair that’s in need of some personality. We’ve already made a start on the lounge and third bedroom (the big reveals to follow soon!), and next up is the dining room. We’ve been trawling the web for ideas over the past few days, so I wanted to share a few . . .
Rural chic in North Norfolk
I don’t know about you, but my favourite interiors tend to reflect their setting – I’m not talking about anything overly themed or forced, but a few subtle elements that add a bit of local character and echo the environment outside.
