How I found my Prints Charming and fell back in love with my home office

April 2, 2019

Sometimes the perfect brand approaches you with the perfect project at the perfect time. In this case, when I was at peak print panic, it was Desenio, the affordable art specialists, who asked if I’d like to pick some pieces from their collection to hang on The Pink House walls…

Pink House Living, the book of the blog, is out NOW!

March 19, 2019

I always dreamed of writing my own book. And so, when I started The Pink House blog/business three years ago, a book was part of the plan. I felt there was a gap in the market for a beautiful, colourful interiors book that inspired its readers to create a home that made them truly happy, while making them laugh…

When Painthouse met The Pink House

The new paint company rewriting the colour rules

September 18, 2018

A couple of months ago I got a mysterious email about a paint brand called Painthouse - a brand so new their website didn’t even exist yet. They sent me the 72-colour paint chart…and I was sold straightaway. These are some seriously mood-lifting colours…

Why you need an ottoman in your life

September 12, 2018

Wherever we live, we all wish we had more space. Especially if - like me - you live in London, where property costs an average of £7000 per square metre. Eek! And so we need to be making the most of every inch.

Pink home office painted in Farrow & Ball Downpipe

A room of my own: my study renovation revealed!

"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."
