You don’t need to start from scratch to redesign a space you love. This blog explores how repurposing existing home decor can save money, reduce waste, and tell a richer design story. Using a real-world case study of a Grade II listed lounge, we show how honouring what you already love (like handmade curtains or quirky heirlooms) can elevate your space and add unexpected cohesion. Ideal for STR owners and thoughtful homeowners alike.

Laura shares how a lilac trimmed childhood bedroom sparked a lifelong love of interiors, and how that passion evolved into Olive & Wilde, a Dorset based design studio for soulful, strategic spaces that generate ROI.
