Firmdale's pretty Dorset Square Hotel in Marylebone

Firmdale's pretty Dorset Square Hotel in Marylebone

The ultimate Spring shopping spree

April 19, 2017

One bright, crocusy morning when I had nothing to wear a timely email arrived: would I like to test Firmdale Hotels’ new Bicester Village shopping package? I knew Firmdale, Kit Kemp's super-stylish hotel group, but I’d never been to Bicester, the designer outlet in Oxfordshire...

5 reasons blinds just got cool

April 13, 2017

Do blinds remind you of things your parents have in their conservatories? That nosy neighbours peer out of in EastEnders? Or which schools use to keep the sunlight out and the kids’ concentration in? Are they, to your mind, practical? Perhaps. Are they aspirational? Absolutely not.

My interior bucket list

March 21, 2017

I recently posted an image on Instagram of a pink clawfooted cast iron bath, because owning a freestanding, clawfooted bath - ideally a pink one - is on my interior bucket list; those home-related items I simply MUST have before shuffling stylishly off this mortal coil.

Why colour lovers should style it dark

March 4, 2017

One day I was flicking through Livingetc when I realised the one thing uniting most of my favourite spaces was the combo of a dark-ish background and brightly coloured furnishings and fabrics. A lightbulb moment: maybe the key to cosy was the colour of my room?

Why we all need a she shed

December 14, 2016

Yes, there are benefits to working in the basement office. Namely, that it’s close to the utility room. But despite this huge bonus, what I really really want, with Geri Haliwellesque fervor, is not just a room, but an entire tiny HOUSE of my own. Yes; I want a She Shed.

5 reasons to buy an investment rug

November 21, 2016

Rugs have always loomed (sorry) large in my life. My mum has always had a soft spot for rugs, and as a result I grew up in houses which were old, draughty and half-finished, but always with beautiful, fascinating rugs from around the world...

"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."
