Fabulous disabled friendly interiors
In my occasional series about finding accessible inspiration in the seemingly inaccessible, I wanted to share today some of my favourite kitchens and utility rooms on Instagram and how they have some features and ideas that we can steal if we're planning an accessible space. There will be elements of the kitchens I'm going to [...]
What’s that you say? The Amara IBAs are back again and you’ve been nominated? Yes that’s right! It’s that time of the year again where I shamelessly beg and plead for your votes in the Oscars of the Interiors world – the Amara Interiors Blog Awards! I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to participate this [...]
That's an odd title isn't it? How can you find accessible interiors inspiration from inaccessible places? Fact is, I think you can get interiors and accessible design from anywhere and everywhere. Just because a space isn't technically accessible, it can still give you some ideas for how you might be able to adapt it to [...]

A little while ago I celebrated my first year anniversary of my blog. I believe the kids call it a Blogiversary! And as I am down with the kids I've decided to celebrate my 1st year with a give away. My blog started as a way to show some of my ideas for accessibility in the [...]
Last month I sadly didn't make it to the finals of the Amara Interiors Blog Awards and I have to confess I was a little disappointed - I truly appreciated everyone's votes and I know so many people shared it on their social media time and time again but sadly I didn't get enough votes [...]
