Pick up a nice shiny copy of this month's June Glamour, flick to p222, and guess what you'll find? Yep - it's our three-page feature on 'Hotel Style Steal', with our Founder/Editor Emily Murray's tips on how to bring the boutique vibe to your home.
Glamour is the UK's best-selling women's magazine, as well as being a damn good read, so we were truly honoured when they came to The Pink House for interiors advice. That our feature is snuggled up next to Henry Holland's piece on 'How to do colour' makes us extra proud; we're big fans of Hezza and his mad Habitat collection we are (click here for our post on how to style his collection).
We love writing features on hotel style, not only for upmarket, glossy magazines like Glamour, but also for the Travel section of The Pink House. So if you look after a gorgeous hotel you think we should know about, or you're an editor looking for a fabulous interiors feature, do drop us a line at emily@pinkhouse.co.uk

I’m SO excited to announce that my brand new podcast, Play with Emily Murray, launches on Tuesday 1 December! While you wait for the episodes to drop, here’s a quick trailer explaining what you can expect from Series 1…
I’ve never lived anywhere with a bathroom big enough to swing a cat. The littlest room in every home I’ve ever occupied would only just accommodate a revolving hamster. Or possibly, at a push, a whirling guinea pig. And my current home, The Pink House in South East London, is definitely no different…
I might have a fancy kitchen, but truth be told I designed it more for looking at than cooking in. How else would you explain my decision to rip out the very practical extractor hood above the hob, replacing it with a hand-blown glass pendant lamp which looks like a glamorous strawberry?
Thanks to lockdown, we now have a) the makings of a poncey pretend-you’re-in-Ibiza outdoor seating area (thanks, handy Pink House Husband), and b) an imperative to light it so enticingly that a passing Calvin Harris would settle down beside me and offer me a sip of his Spritz (this is a euphemism).
Pink House Helps is back! And this time we’re tackling the hallway and stairs. Alongside hanging pictures (how does any couple ever agree?) and replacing faulty windows (they somehow cost more than you paid for the actual house), designing and decorating the hallway and stairs is often the last task in a home renovation project.
Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk is an interior design tornado; a modern day Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, but without the flouncy sleeves, commitment to MDF, or refusal to create spaces his clients actually like. We took a look at Bobby’s impressive transformations to see what we can learn about redecorating a space in a few quick moves.
In an ideal world, we wouldn’t be living in The Pink House while it was being renovated; we’d be chilling in a large, fully-furnished, dust-free - hell, this is an ideal world; let’s throw in a swimming pool, grotto and a kitten farm too - mansion across the road until the very last lick of paint had been applied.
You’ve just moved into your brand new rented home, a blank canvas of white walls and cream carpets. You’re excited to make the place feel like home. But wait. What are the rules here? Are you allowed to paint the walls? Are pictures okay? Is blu-tac more annoying than banging a hole in the wall? Can the curtains come down? Can new shelves go up…?
I have a shameful interiors secret. It’s taken me a little while to admit it, but I’m just not *whisper it* very good at vintage. So I’ve deferred to the vintage experts at Soho House, The Old Cinema and Vinterior to get their top tips on vintage furniture shopping…
Revealed! The full range of 6 fabulous patterned armchairs I designed in partnership with DFS and Katie @comedowntothewoods, AND the crafty quiz I’ve concocted to help you decide which chair is right for you…
