Making a rented flat in Hackney a home of your own with Sainsbury's Home

Renting a property doesn't mean you can't make it a home of your own. For me, my home isn’t just a space to eat, sleep and repeat, it’s a definite feeling. There is so much joy in the curation, turning a space into a home for me is finding all of the little pieces that pull it all together. I've teamed up with Sainsbury's Home to share some of my tips for making a space yours with some pieces from their new SS20 collection.



Our tiny one bedroom flat in East London is home to an assortment of plants. Bringing some greenery into a space can really bring it to life. As we're lucky enough not to be overlooked, instead of curtains we decided to hang plants from our curtain pole. As I'm not the best at keeping plants alive I love these faux succulents with their beautiful brass stand and this plant hanger from Sainsbury's Home. The perfect addition to our shelfie or using our picture rail and picture rail hooks to position the faux plant hanger in a darker corner.



I love collecting objects, photos, postcards and prints from my travels and everyday adventures and scattering them around our home. Styling surfaces is one of my top tips to curate a space. I can get a bit carried away and leave no space untouched... 
This tripod lamp is the perfect lighting feature on our mid century console alongside a vintage record player and some shells and stones from a trip to the seaside earlier this year. 


 We struggle with space in our flat, it's very old and lacks any kind of storage a modern flat block might have. Choosing furniture pieces with a dual purpose make all the difference. This rattan side table doubles up as a stool when we have guests over.
I've styled this as a mini coffee table with another faux plant.



Colour brings so much joy to our home and is a strong theme throughout my everyday. If you're not sure where to start, introducing a splash of colour in your dinnerware is an easy start. These pastel bowls and mugs paired with a pale green table runner sit prettily waiting for dinner time. The slate and wooden board makes the perfect cheese board too. 



Now it's time to cosy up in our joyful home.
