Bringing Prints Into Your Home

Molly shows how to make a cosy and colourful home. Using her own home as a backdrop, she demonstrates how she has curated a colourful and pattern-filled home.

Lesson Summary

  • I enjoy combining bold and bright colours, and I see a home as a work in progress.
  • I am a big fan of colours and enjoy bringing them all in. Colour is a gut reaction for me.
  • My mugs are displayed on a vintage dresser in the kitchen.
  • I like to mix dark mahogany with brighter colours.
  • The dining room fireplace is a nod to Charleston.
  • You can create a palette with paint tester pots; it's a great way to discover your creative side.
  • The roller blinds are in the 'Rose' fabric from my Jaipur collection. You can purchase it here.

Your Assignment

My main question is 'Is it bringing me joy?' Take a look around your house at the items you already own and do a clear-out. Donate or sell items that no longer make you happy. This is the first step toward creating a home that you adore. Fill your home with patterns and colours that you like, do some research, and create something unique to you.
