Fabulous disabled friendly interiors
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 [...]
We are on the hunt again for a sofa. (The dreaded hunt begins again!) Our current sofa (see my other post on how to choose a sofa when you have a disability) is a little low. We knew it at the time and we are slowly getting to the point of needing something new. So [...]
I'm approaching my second anniversary on the blog and whilst I've had a couple of quiet months this year due some real life events taking over, I'm trying to get back on the wagon and continue my blogging journey.

The first issue with our bathroom is that it's a typically tiny British bathroom, just enough floor space for the bath, boiler, sink and loo. No more room and no opportunity to make it bigger unless we take a bedroom and competely overhaul all the pipework. So - we are a little stuck with it. [...]
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 [...]
Velvet always evokes this feeling of luxury, it's a beautiful, textured, tactile fabric that always gives you a feeling of glamour and decadence. Velvet sofas are on the rise again (if indeed they ever went away!) and there are a brilliant choice of colours and shapes to please everyone - and they're not as expensive [...]
