Welcome TO MY HOME

A BIT ABOUT ME

I’m Louise Wargnier, 47. I’m a printed textile and wallpaper designer and founder of Tatie Lou @tatieloudesigns. I live with my husband, Charly, 42, and two children, Woody, eight and Aggie, seven, plus our dog, Herbie, and cat, Chaka.

WHERE I LIVE

Our home is a semi-detached, threebedroom house in Sherwood, Nottingham. It was built in 1915 and we’ve lived here since February 2017.

WHAT I WANTED TO CHANGE

Every single room needed to be decorated when we moved in. The cigarette-stained wallpaper had to be stripped and I wanted to add lots of personality with bright colours and bold patterns.

HOW I MADE IT MY OWN

We ripped out the old kitchen and bathroom, updating them for more modern designs. I added my own wallpaper, throws and cushions, painted the walls in bright, warm colours and filled the rooms with second-hand furniture.

MY FAVOURITE ROOM

It has to be the kitchen. With the pink walls, statement wallpaper and green tiles, it’s so bright and welcoming.
