Is there anything better than having a nosy around other people’s homes? We follow so many interior accounts on Instagram and love getting our daily dose of inspo but sometimes we’d just love to know how they got so good at choosing colours, where they got that wallpaper from or who inspires them! So we’ve decided to ask all of those questions and find out a little more about some of our favourite Insta influencers in this brand new blog series ‘At Home With…’
Grab a cuppa and get ready to go green with envy, because our first interview is with Emma White, founder of Apogee Interiors, who’s home we came across online last year and simply can’t get enough of!
My name is Emma White and I am currently studying Interior Design full time at university, in a bid to change my career.
I live in Essex in a 3 bed, 1970’s semi-detached house.
A complete mix! But I do tend to stick to earth tone colours and have created my own style mixing together Scandi/Mid-Century Modern/Industrial elements.
It changes all the time. At the moment it’s probably our bedroom. When designing a bedroom, I want it to feel like a sanctuary keeping the walls white and using a mix of textures. It’s my favourite space to escape to after a busy day.
Plan! I find creating mood boards either by hand or on the computer a great way to give a sense how your room will feel. It can help stop impulse buying and give you a much more considered room.
I always look to how I’m going to use the space. For example, our living room is where most people who visit will reside in. So the space has brighter colours, a drinks trolly and key hero pieces to make the room stand out.
H&M Home, French Connection & Urban Outfitters.
There are so many GORGEOUS homes I love on Instagram. But one which always stands out is Kate Watson-Symth’s home from @mad_about_the_house. Her style and colours make up my dream home.
If you love it, buy it! Rather than picking art which either goes with your colour scheme or style of a room, buy art that you love and will love for years to come. If you hang it in a room, it will go because you love it.
