Can 5 pieces of art completely change the soul of a room?

I’m currently transforming what was once a bright, underused playroom into a cosy, sophisticated family snug. The final upholstery and dressings are still in the making, but now, seeing all the art up, I’ve realised the secret to finally shifting that vibe? Art with depth, mood, and personality.

Swipe through to see the art that has completely rewritten the story:
* Scottish Highlands Loch drama – A moody, dramatic Scottish landscape to ground the space.
* A fabulous Scottish classic – The Skating Minister (officially titled Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch, c. 1795 by Henry Raeburn). BTW, there’s a fabulous episode exploring every detail of this by my fave podcast The Rest Is History — having listened to it, my client loves the piece even more!
* A wonderfully moody black sheep – Because every sophisticated room needs a little quirk.
* A contemporary floating cloud – For a touch of dreamlike, relaxing whimsy.
* Glencoe drama – I’ve been there a lot recently and this print, here sat among its neighbouring artworks, exudes a timeless, calm legend, every time.

And my suggestion if you are currently contemplating your own art choices? Don’t be afraid to mix eras! In this case, pairing classic Scottish pieces with contemporary, moody natural themes has created such a beautiful synergy that totally reflects this busy family home.

So, can 5 pieces of art completely change the soul of a room? I’d love to know what you think, and if you have a favourite here!

If you’d like the links to any of them, just hit follow and drop me a DM - I’d be delighted to share them with you + follow along so you don’t miss how it all comes together for the final reveal!

Much love,
Susan x

Hi, I’m Susan! It’s been some time since I’ve shown my face on here (things have been busy of late), so thought I’d re-introduce myself and tell you how I ended up on these little squares!

After a decade at a successful branding agency, I moved from London to Edinburgh for love and started a new life from scratch. After some deep breaths, I started my own branding business and enjoyed over 15 years of fabulous clients, staff, and projects.

Then something shifted and I wasn’t so happy. Not sure how or why, but it just happened to coincide with renovating my New Town home in Edinburgh. It was spotted by an investor who hired me to reinvigorate a run-down home. Additional investors followed, as did local clients via word of mouth - all culminating in projecting my career in a completely new direction! 6 years later, proud to say, I’m still at it!

And, back to the subject. How did I end up here?

I just love a ‘before and after’! Having a few projects under my belt, I started sharing my passion for transforming uninspiring spaces into much-loved homes on here. Along the way, I’ve built deep relationships with the people who live in them, many of whom have become close friends, many that I regularly socialise with! It’s something I could never have anticipated at the outset, and a completely unexpected career joy.

And why have I stayed on here?

This community! Whether it’s design lovers, renovators or you inspirational people! Such a rich, fruitful forum so full of personalities and surprises!

The tips! Here for your life stories, must have products, travel, fashion…

To share my ‘wares’! Sharing the beautiful end after an often messy process provides an honest insight into the real life of any transformation. I want to inspire and reassure those feeling their home could be better that it can be, and whether that’s just looking for ideas or indeed want my hands-on help to completely reinvent a home, I’m here!

So sending love - it’s good to be back!

P.S. Looking forward to revealing some projects soon!

If you do have a project you’d love to chat about, just get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!✨

I’ve been keeping a little secret and it’s in my bedroom!

It’s discreet, hard to find, super neat and totally changes the feel!

More of a modest reveal than a sexy exposé in all honesty, but swipe away for the difference it’s made. Raunchy (or just me ;) ?!

Looking for inspo to nail that lounge centrepiece? Here are a few of my favourites and why!…

It’s swipe through time today!

You’ve possibly (and probably) considered more than just these options but just thought I’d share. The only thing I might add is the opportunity, if required, to add storage!! A great way to also squirrel away all our ‘unsightlies’!

Would love to hear if you have a favourite or other decisions/discoveries you’ve made and loved!

POV: “Blue is too cold a hue”!!

I was told this recently and having used a blue (or two) in my time, felt the need to address this view so here, my tried and tested tips (and swipe to see them in action)!

* Bring in the wood! Any wood! This pairing mimics nature and brings so much warmth to the tranquility.
* Introduce the brass for high visual contrast! Such a wonderful way to add that uplifting, luxurious and statement pop! A game-changer!
* Creams! Yes there’s a reason Devonshire cookware and Cream Teas are still so indelibly delicious. Balancing soft’ cottagey’ off-whites against a crisper blue, even if you’re in the city, together they provide all hugs you never knew you were hankering for!

It’s not an exhaustive list in beautiful partners for blue as have seen/implemented so may other gorgeous pairings (mustards, oranges, teals) but may just help if you’re pondering on the blue side!

What are your favourite colour partners? Would love to know!

PS At the , the entrance lounge combined deep aubergine walls with rich orange furnishings. What an unexpected beautiful marriage!

Can you ever have too much space??

It’s an odd concept I admit, however sometimes a large space can actually be, well, too large! And that’s what I encountered here in this super long bedroom!

Thankfully the request for additional storage after some forehead rubbing, helped resolve the challenge and the client’s were more than happy to ‘road test’ the new layout proposal, so swipe away for the journey and my solution!!

Gone is a bed lost at the back of the room, the empty/wasted floor area and meet a room that optimises not only its beautiful woodland views but now enjoys a statement headboard, introduces practical/glamorous storage and now feels totally in proportion!

Would love to know what you think and do save should you ever be fortunate enough to have this ‘problem’!

Looking for add a little luxury to your loo? Meet this transformation in an Edinburgh Victorian home!

Prompted by two new bathrooms I’m working on (you may have seen on my Stories) thought while I’m in the groove I’d share one I made earlier and some tips!

* Pic 1, Feeling the need for calm? Keep your theme simple! Here it’s brass and blues - the brass creates a warm, high-contrast look that balances the coolness of the blue making the space feel, despite its size, luxurious and inviting
* Pic 2, Add brass strips between tiles instead of grout! Totally elevates the space and so worth the effort in cutting these flat brass bars to size (available ).
* Pic 3, Walls matter! Think about dividing the height (here shown with panelling and wallpaper). Consider painting around door frames (and/or maybe the door) to integrate into your panelling/tiling for a coherent feel!
* Pic 4, 5, 6, 7, Mismatching fixtures can be an eyesore so if possible choose fittings from the same supplier/range! To make sure, order samples with easy returns to check! Taps, switches, towel rails, radIator etc here from and thankfully matched these Epinl Vintage Wall Light Sconces).
* Pic 8, Lift the loo- So helps the feeling of space if you can see underneath. Plus add a characterful floor of your home and if on a budget, which my client’s were, consider vinyl!
* Pic 9, Video 10, The beginnings. Has to start somewhere!
* Pic 11, The Osc meets the client’s Cleo. The ultimate seal of approval? ;)

Would love to know what you think of these suggestions and do save if they’ve provided any inspo!

Much love, Susan xx

Do you have a wall that could work harder, smarter and look so much better?

Swipe for the journey and how giving this wall a purpose, with little to no encroachment, it now serves as a busy family desk, storage area plus has bundles of opportunities for display!

So… don’t waste a wall!! They could become your most used space yet!

Are you now eyeing up that spare wall? Would love to know!
