When Painthouse met The Pink House

When Painthouse met The Pink House

Bedroom blinds and straddle jumps

April 25, 2018

When Hillarys asked me to style a bedroom totally to my taste, using their new roller blinds collection as a starting point, I wondered how far I could push it. Would they let me use pink neon? How about an edgy concrete wall? Could I throw in my favourite birdcage lamps? The answers were yes, yes and YES!

"Fabulous family living!"

Emily Murray founder of The Pink House Living

"Hello! I’m Emily Murray, founder and editor of The Pink House. I’m a lifestyle journalist who has written and edited for loads of different publications, including Stylist, The Guardian, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, Brides, and Mother & Baby. Here I am in the bricks-and-mortar Pink House in South East London, where I live with the Pink House Husband (PHH) and our two small, semi-feral boys. Our fabulous Christopher Farr sofa is covered in marker pen and chocolate, and the Eames rocker has a few suspicious stains. Come in and make yourself at home. No need to take your shoes off."
