Interiors expert Kate Rose Morgan shares some of her top tips to spark joy and happiness.
A FORMER hairdresser on cruise ships that travelled around Europe and South America, Kate Rose Morgan says she can’t remember ever not adding colour to her home.
“I remember getting my first place, I think I was 20, and I'd done all crazy colours,” recalls Kate Rose. “Because when I first moved in, I'd done what everyone else had, and went safe - I remember going for quiet, neutral tones.
“And then I said to my dad, ‘can you help me decorate? Because I just don’t like it? We painted my kitchen pink and put up some brighter floral wallpaper.
“So, I'd say, from a young age, when I started living on my own, I embraced colour straight away... I didn’t like sitting in a house that felt very beige.”
The self-taught interior designer with more than one million social media followers across Instagram and TikTok, has now written a book Dopamine Decor: Style Your Home With Colour, Joy And Fun.
“I feel a lot of recent interior designs have been quite beige and grey, very minimal... but I’m kind of embracing a more colourful, fun impact in your life,” explains Kate Rose.
