COME ON IN...

WE ARE Jade Butcher, 35, an interior colour consultant. You can find me on Instagram @aninteriorstory. My husband is Andrew, 37, and our children are Freddie who is six and Eva who’s two.

OUR HOME IS A five-bedroom, detached 1930s bungalow conversion in Thorpe Bay, Essex. We have lived here since late 2018.

MY TOP TIP IS To take your time and think about whether you are making a choice because it’s something you genuinely love, or because it’s something you’ve seen trending on Instagram.

FOR STYLE INSPIRATION I feel very fortunate that as an interior colour consultant my job involves visiting lots of people’s homes to help them build schemes. I often leave with lots of inspiration from them.

NEXT TO DO IS The utility room. It’s currently a dumping ground where halfempty paint tins go to die.
