Interior Styling

A bit about me...

Hi I’m Lou, owner of The Nook Interiors, and I’m here to help you create a home that you love! 

 

My passion for handmade & vintage was born from a desire to live in a beautiful home – without the budget to do so! 

 

After leaving a career in teaching I explored upholstery & furniture upcycling before gaining a diploma in Interior Design. Over time I've become increasingly resourceful and creative, and have come to realise I don’t NEED a big budget to create the sort of home I want to live in; shiny, new, expensive, mass-produced things just don’t do it for me! I’ll always opt for handmade over mass-produced, vintage over new and creativity over consumerism.

 

My home is full of vintage & pre-loved furniture, flea market finds, hand printed cushions and lampshades, bunches of wildflowers & pressed flower art, foraged shells, pebbles & bits of driftwood. I’m constantly inspired by nature and most of what I make incorporates flowers, foliage or foraged finds in some form. 

 

I believe everyone deserves to live in a home they love, and for me that begins with creativity. . . whether that’s discovering the skills to make beautiful things for yourself, investing in something handmade by someone else, or learning how to style your home in a way that reflects you and your unique personality. 

 

If you want to be inspired to live a more beautiful, creative & sustainable life, to improve your sense of well-being,  to discover new skills, to make more and spend less. . . read on!

Thank you for an amazing afternoon - it was great to learn to do something new - and a lovely lampshade to take away! Lovely facilities, great tea and cake and such friendly teaching. Thanks again - I'm sure we'll be back for more!

I’ve been looking for some pictures to go above our fireplace but had been struggling. I found a picture whilst in Nook & Cranny just before lockdown. I was told that I could commission others (I needed 3 in total). I asked Lou is she could make me two more with a specific family theme, which I’m pleased to say Lou agreed. I’m over the moon with the result as they’re amazing. I also ordered one for a 21st birthday gift.
