A Room with a View: How to create a room in your garden - JH Designs
We all need a place to retreat from time to time and where better than in the tranquility of your garden - whether under a pagoda, on the terrace or in a conservatory or orangery. Choose comfy outdoor lounging or dining furniture; add storm lights, hanging lanterns and or a pretty string of battery powered lights for atmosphere. A fire pit or chiminea makes an outdoor room useable all year round. Or inside, use a wood burning stove to extend the seasons. #jhdesignsinteriors
ESSENTIAL STORAGE IDEAS
We always need good storage in our homes to tidy our lives and create a more functional living space. Creating built-in cabinets, whether wardrobes for the bedroom or a beautiful bookcase for the living room is the perfect solution. #jhdesignsinteriors
SHE SAID SHE-SHED: A room of one's own
Not so much a ‘girls only’ space as a ‘girl’s only space.’ This is not just a man-cave with curtains, these are creative, beautiful rooms to find peace, and a piece of ourselves. Whether you want a retreat for yoga, a studio to paint in, or a space to entertain, we've got plenty of ideas. Read our latest blog.
Pretty linen armchairs & layers of natural textures
At JH Designs we are big fans of decorating with textured materials and fabrics - all beautifully suited to the old stone houses that abound in The Cotswolds. These linen French style armchairs are perfect for a quiet corner to read in this garden room. The rug from Soho Home adds another textured layer. The rattan top side table was a vintage find, adding a touch of old. #jhdesignsinteriors
How to make your garden room into a place to entertain
Green is the go-to colour for interior design this summer. Whether it's sage green paint for the living room, a sumptuous green velvet sofa (or headboard for the bedroom), a mix of cushions or just a plant in the corner, it's a connection with nature and the outdoors & that's what biophilic design is all about. #jhdesignsinteriors
A CORNER SOFA in a country cottage TV room
A large, deep, cosy corner sofa is the ultimate way to relax by the TV in the sitting room or family room. Styling with cushions and throws allows you to add colour and textures and well as extra comfort. Group pictures on the wall to create a collage and a mirror to reflect light in a dark room. Table lamps add pops of colour as well as soft light. #jhdesignsinteriors
A traditional study featuring a leather Chesterfield sofa
This vibrant teal wall paint from @littlegreene is a fabulous backdrop for a traditional leather buttoned sofa. Together with a leather armchair and large footstool, it creates a relaxing area of the study. Old map prints adorn the walls. #jhdesignsinteriors
Home cinema lighting
A small room with no natural light has been transformed into a room for entertainment by clever light effects. Bean bags and footstools in bright fabrics give a sense of fun. There's even a luxurious teal velvet sofa bed in case of sleep-overs after a late night movie! #jhdesignsinteriors
Pretty cottage living room
A Howard style sofa is always a winner. Here it's covered in a natural linen blend fabric with cushions in warm earthy tones. The brass & glass coffee table is an antique and the kilim rug in soft earth tones brings the room together. Pictures are grouped on the wall to create a collage. #jhdesignsinteriors

Antiqued chest in a modern living room
We love to use vintage and antique furniture amongst comfortable modern sofas and chairs in our designs. This beautiful aged chest of drawers looks perfect with a modern ceramic lamp base and shibori silk shade. A corner sofa with large cushions in shades of blue to complement the furniture makes lounging by the TV comfy and luxurious. #jhdesignsinteriors
Does OPEN PLAN living suit life in 2021?
Large, open living spaces for all the family incorporating the kitchen, a playroom and a sitting room were all the rage until 2021. With many people now working from home, a quiet study, home office area, or even a desk in the landing is more the norm. We explore how to create the right space for you in our new blog.

Contemporary living room furniture mixed with antiques
Refreshing your home by redecorating, recovering a sofa or armchairs with new fabric, adding table lamps, a rug and some accessories for colour and texture is like moving house - but SO much easier and less expensive! And it's what we love to do. #jhdesignsinteriors
Make your HOME OFFICE a pleasure to work in
Working from home may take a bit of planning but with a desk you love (it may be the feel of the wood), a comfy desk chair, some art or pictures that make you smile, it will become a pleasure. Good lighting by placing the table near a window and adding a desk lamp will lift the spirits too.
