I’ve spent my whole Sunday visualising the year ahead and trying to put into words where Making Spaces is headed. We’re excited!! ☺️

“What’s a hot spot not?” 🔴

Sometimes, you just need to post a not quite finished project.

Two years into working on the project and we’re so nearly there. Still lots to do, so final photos won’t be until Spring/summer 2026 but I felt it needed a permanent spot on the grid.

Hope you like these little snippets of what’s to come next year ☺️🤞 to say we can’t wait to see it all finished is somewhat of an understatement!!

So many images never make it onto the gram. Came across these today from the master bedroom at the Ilkley project. I loved the little hand painted wardrobe door pulls, the teal green fire insert, and the little cream pom-poms on the bespoke Linwood velvet curtains.
Perfect autumnal eye candy 🍂😍

About one million years ago (end of 2024) I mentioned we were getting a new sofa. Not sure if anyone remembers as life moves fast and I’m pretty sure you guys will had other things to think about since then.

**one year later**

Just done a mini shoot of our living room’s new look. I present to you The 1977 sofa from . This is “package 10” from their modular range in their Caramel teddy boucle. We’ve had it since the end of January so about 7 months so far and it’s been a great addition to our family home. It’s so far survived Charlie’s unusual sitting style which resembles someone performing contact improvisation (google it), it’s been very pet friendly with no snags or pulls from Chanski, our cats little paws….. and it has supported me through my long bouts of working from home on the chaise.
The Bongo medium ottoman (great name) is also from King Living this time in Biscuit.
We also have a huge tray that sits on top so we’ve can opt for either a comfy footstool or functional coffee table.
Anyhoo - this isn’t an AD or sponsored post. I just thought you’d like to see. If I had one gripe, I’d say the main sofa section could be a little deeper. I’m a cross legged sofa sitter so like a deep sitting space (hence why I always call dibs on the chaise 💪)

Some of you might recognise the design from ’s beautiful Italian home where it looks stunning. Thought it would be useful for some of you to see how it sits in the living room of a traditional 3 bed semi too ☺️

Oh hello👋

The Collingham Project takes centre stage in this recent feature by Corston Architectural Detail. More on this to come!

(I can't tell you how uncomfortable I am sharing this. I'd say even more uncomfortable than I was being filmed - just focus on the interiors, guys!)

Still a winning combo.
(In my humble opinion)

Three years on and this room is still one of my absolute faves.
When clients trust you that’s when the magic happens ✨
