October 15, 2017

I've been pretty sniffy about Scandi style in the past. I've haw-hawed at Hyyge, poo-pooed the pared-back colour palette and shied away from the bare walls and empty spaces. But what I'd failed to realise is how Scandi subtleties are the very definition of less is more. Or that less actually CAN be more...

Me getting my autumn on for B&Q

Behind the scenes on my B&Q video

October 9, 2017

When B&Q asked me a few weeks ago if I'd make a film for them about decorating your home for autumn I was 80% excited and only 10% terrified/worried my mouth would look weird (the final 10% went on thinking about chocolate).

"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."
