LIV Chats To… Colour Crazy Lozzie About Her Wonderfully Bright Home
This week, we are super excited to introduce our ‘LIV Chats To’ @the.tiny.colourful.terrace blog. her houSe is definitely going to make you crazy about colour!
Hi Lozzie, first things first, please can you introduce yourself to our LIV followers?
Hey, I'm Lozzie, 27, I moved into my tiny terraced house in Sheffield in January this year and have been gradually filling it with colour ever since!
What inspired you to start sharing your beautiful home?
I have an interiors obsession and swoon over a lot of insta homes! Whenever I'm not at work, I immediately come home and style anything from trinkets to toilet rolls.
So why not share my efforts with all of you?
Please could you describe your interior style, has it always been the same or has it evolved over time?
I genuinely hadn't thought about this until now! I have been brought up by interior addicts and it's just a thing in my family!
I have a love for all interiors and would say it's an eclectic mix of a few styles. It's definitely layered, colourful, occasionally glam and accents of vintage and boho.
What is your favourite part of your lovely home?
I'm a little bit in love with all of it but my favourite room is definitely the kitchen.
It houses the pink staircase and and my beautiful hand painted cornflower blue units as well as my scaffolding board shelves.
My favourite thing is walking down my stairs in the morning to make a coffee and seeing the styled shelves in all their glory.
What brands or trends inspire you or your house purchases?
I usually have all my needs fulfilled in H&M Home, TK MAXX or Homesense. I am a sucker for a colourful bargain!
I also have a taste for the luxurious and splurged on a Swoon Editions sofa a couple of years ago and have never looked back. I think that their furniture is beautiful.
“Colour is my life! I live and breathe it, I have a magnetic pull towards bright colours and bold artworks!”
What interior Instagram accounts inspire you, could you name your top 3?
I have some serious obsessions over a few colourful accounts but 3 of my favourite are:
What inspired you to style your home using bold colours?
Colour is my life! I live and breathe it, I have a magnetic pull towards bright colours and bold artworks.
My job is clinical and very clear cut with little room for creativity. When I come home from work, I want to come into my own cocoon of colour and feel happy and relaxed.
What is your favourite colour to use when stying your amazing home?
It's definitely pink, I consider it a neutral.
I tend to use pink and blue as base colours throughout the house and add other colours to create a sense of flow and continuity.
What has been the most enjoyable part of styling your home?
Being creative and playful with textures, colours and prints!
My favourite thing about styling is having 'happy accidents' whilst styling one room, I tend to create a beautiful mess in another! That is usually where the more eclectic shots come from, I catch sight of something and it inspires me to play around with different colour ways, layers and texture.
What's your favourite house purchase you have made in 2020 and is there anything on your wishlist?
I'm a lover of vintage and I love a bargain hunt! My absolute favourite 2020 purchase is from Ebay and it's the old bureau in my living room. It was a steal at £50, I painted it pink and lined it with wrapping paper and it know serves as much needed storage as well as a cheeky bar from time to time.
I have most of the big things for the house already but would love an old vintage cabinet to use as a vanity around the sink in the bathroom and I'm constantly on the look out now that the charity shops have re-opened.
And finally what does the future hold for @the.tiny.colourful.terrace, is there anything up your sleeve or is the house complete?
The house is far from complete, I've done a lot to it but there is so much more to do.
I have a few more tricks up my sleeve for the inside of the house which I will keep under my hat for now and I'm planning an exciting colourful outdoor space that will be in full-swing by summer 2021 with any luck.
