If you’re trying to create the perfect bathroom lighting scheme and are relying on the usual grid pattern of ceiling downlights, that will not work. It’s not enough. It will never give you the right light in the right places.

You must layer up: use downlights, yes! But you also need wall lights, uplights, niche lights a feature light and maybe a backlit mirror. All at the correct height and in the correct places.

Bringing an interior designer in at the very beginning of a renovation or new build means every detail is considered - from layout and lighting to materials and flow - before costly decisions are locked in.

Early collaboration saves time, avoids expensive revisions, and ensures the finished result feels cohesive, intentional and entirely yours.

A Sevenoaks home that feels luxurious yet comfortable and easy to live in.

The interior design aim for this recently completed Sevenoaks new-build home was simple: to create a home that feels refined, but still warm and welcoming.

One of the key challenges was scale. The rooms and hallway were generous — almost cavernous — so our focus was on bringing everything back to a more human level. We introduced glass doors and shelving partitions to gently break up the spaces, making them feel more intimate, usable, and connected, without losing the sense of openness.

The palette is neutral at its core, layered with earthy greens, warm browns, and soft terracotta tones to add depth and warmth. Nothing feels overdone — just carefully put together so that each space flows naturally into the next.

A lot of the thinking behind this project isn’t immediately obvious, but it makes all the difference. How the light moves through the rooms, how spaces connect, and how everything works for day-to-day living were all key to shaping the design.

The result is a home that not only looks beautiful, but feels comfortable, functional, and built to last.

If you’re planning a new build or renovation and want a home that truly works for you, I’d love to help.

One of my favourite parts of every project is weaving in the pieces that already mean something to my clients. Heirlooms, well-loved furniture, treasured finds—these are the things that make a space feel personal. I work hard to make sure they’re part of the final design so the home doesn’t just look beautiful, it truly feels like them… and always feels like home.

A simpler life: that seems to be what many of us are hankering after. So my trend predictor for this month is simple: a return of analogue rooms. Spaces in our homes free from all digital interruptions. Spaces to relax, destress, decompress, read, play games and practice hobbies. What do you think? Am I right?

Pleeeeease swipe through - not just to see the insanely blue sky from a week ago - but because the message is REALLY important. Save your stress, the budget panic, the costly mistakes and missed opportunities. Get the designer (preferably me!) in early!! Go on, have a scroll - you won’t regret it! Oh, and please give me a call 📞

It’s been the busiest week so far for me at Anna Patten Design.

From submitting a proposal for an exciting new project, to a site measure for bespoke joinery across multiple rooms at my Sevenoaks project, it’s been full steam ahead. I’ve also been presenting my space planning and feasibility work for a kitchen extension, preparing a comprehensive electrical works schedule, pulling together furniture supply quotes, and updating CAD drawings to show fabric selections for new Roman blinds and pelmets.

It might not all be the glamorous side of design, but it’s definitely never boring — and it’s all part of turning ideas into beautiful, well-considered spaces.
Happy Friday everyone!
