Welcome TO MY HOME

A BIT ABOUT ME

I’m Melanie McCrindle, a textile print designer. I live with my husband, Robin, who manages accountants, and our nine-month-old son, Bobby.

WHERE I LIVE

Our home is a four-bedroom, newbuild terrace in Burbage, Leicestershire. We’ve lived here for five years.

WHAT I WANTED TO CHANGE

The house was in good condition when we moved in and it didn’t need any structural work, but the décor wasn’t to my taste. I wanted to remove the busy wallpapers and make it a more calming, relaxing space.

HOW I MADE IT MY OWN

We decorated the house from top to bottom so that every room reflected my own home style. We went for a Scandi-inspired scheme of subtle colours with lots of cosy textures. You can see more of my home style on my Instagram @love_nordic_x.

MY FAVOURITE PART

The dining room that backs onto the garden with bi-fold doors. I love how it makes me feel like I’m sat outside. It lets in so much sunlight with its lovely high ceiling.
