APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | YOUTUBE
In this episode, I cover one of the sometimes overlooked elements of your interior: window dressings.
Most people leave curtains and blinds until the very end of a renovation, then panic-choose something “good enough” and wonder why the room still doesn’t feel quite right.
I walk you through how to think about your windows like a designer: starting with the view outside, privacy, the light you want to invite in (or block out), and the mood you’re trying to create.
There really is more than you might think to choosing the right window dressings.
From the curtains vs blinds vs shutters debate, to what on earth to do with radiators under windows, to why short curtains really get my goat, this episode is packed with practical tips.
If you’ve ever felt stuck on how to dress your windows, this one’s for you.
Inside I’ll cover:

Plus lots more - I didn’t realise just how much I had to say about window dressings!
