Pink and blue bedroom with pink headboard and neon art

My London bedroom, where I love to sleep uninterrupted by screaming babies

Why sleep deprivation forced me to leave London

March 18, 2022

A great sleep turns me into a morning person, a jump-out-of-bed, look-on-the-bright-side, Ferris Bueller-quoting kind of person. Basically, a person who, when life moves pretty fast, has the energy to ensure I don’t miss it…

This gorgeous garden, complete with festoon lights and paper lanterns, belongs to @agi_at_59

The best garden lights for a stay-home summer holiday

May 21, 2020

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).

Help a sister out

August 11, 2019

What if there were some magical way of receiving delicious home goodies AND have that added moral superior rush one gets from the thrill of giving?

The scarcely-seen loo side of my Edinburgh bathroom

The scarcely-seen loo side of my Edinburgh bathroom

Breaking the loo taboo

July 31, 2019

When it comes to bathrooms, everyone’s happy to chat pretty taps, rolltop tubs and lovely lighting. But despite the fact that using the loo is the main reason we go to the littlest room, when it comes to designing a sanitary space, no-one really talks about toilets. How very British of us!

Interior ideas to steal from Bella Freud’s £3.8m BBC building apartment

So when we heard she’d designed an apartment in the newly renovated Television Centre – also home to the utterly fabulous White City Soho House – we had to take a snoop around…

"Fabulous family living!"

Emily Murray founder of The Pink House Living

"Hello! I’m Emily Murray, founder and editor of The Pink House. I’m a lifestyle journalist who has written and edited for loads of different publications, including Stylist, The Guardian, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, Brides, and Mother & Baby. Here I am in the bricks-and-mortar Pink House in South East London, where I live with the Pink House Husband (PHH) and our two small, semi-feral boys. Our fabulous Christopher Farr sofa is covered in marker pen and chocolate, and the Eames rocker has a few suspicious stains. Come in and make yourself at home. No need to take your shoes off."
