Ideal Home truths

Where’s your happy place? 

My bedroom. It’s my own personal sanctuary and the place I go to switch off from the world at the end of every day. 

What’s your home addiction?

Anything that makes it smell nice and helps create a cosy ambience in the evening. Candles, reed diffusers, wax melts and cute tealight holders.

What is your next home project?

I’ll soon be moving to a flat in Leeds. Making each room as cosy and as homely as possible means I’ll have several projects to keep me busy over the next year - bring them on!
