This guide isn’t here to overwhelm you with options.
It’s here to anchor you in the ones that work.

I’ve pulled together the materials, paint colours, finishes, and styling principles I return to again and again, across projects, budgets, and homes. Not because they follow trends, but because they feel right.

Design doesn’t need to shout to be powerful.
It just needs to feel like it was always meant to be there.

A considered guide for people who want to design with feeling, not fear.
