Blog – Natalie Lockwood Interiors

Welcome to the Natalie Lockwood Interiors blog, a journal for enthusiasts of design, travel, food, and sustainable living.

You’ll learn behind the scenes tips and finds from our interior design team alongside travel inspiration from our adventures across Spain, the UK, and worldwide.

Natalie Lockwood interiors was established in 2013 and has grown into an interior design studio, online store, and this blog. Based between the beautiful Andalucia in the south of Spain and the equally stunning Yorkshire in the UK, the NL Interiors design style is inspired by both locations.

SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT
•
One of my top paint suppliers is Coat, they're nailing it with colour options and keep outdoing themselves. The backdrop in the image above is called Tuesday's Child and is one of my favourite neutrals to use in clients homes. Coat have some great eco credentials alongside being vegan & animal friendly. They have a great range of paints with something to suit any surface, I'm considering testing the UPVC paint on our house soon.
•
I can use Coat paint in UK and EU projects as they ship from both. Get in touch if you'd like to book a colour consultation or interior design project or just to chat about how you use colour in your home 💫

WALL PANELLING
•
I currently have three projects where we are using wall panelling to add texture, interest and colour to a room. It works well in all spaces, currently we're using panelling in hallway, living room and dining room projects. It's a relatively easy way to add personality to your space when implemented correctly.
•
I can't wait to show you the end results of these clients homes. I'm so happy with how these colours from @coatpaints look already and the rooms aren't complete yet!
•
Drop me a DM if you'd like to chat about how wall panelling could add to your home decor 💫

Still in January, dragging a little isn't it?
Feeling a little like my feet haven't touched the ground with beginning of the year organisation and planning.
•
Very excited to share that the website relaunch that has been on the schedule for months is finally happening. My wonderful web designer @kwebsitedesigns has been so patient with me when work/life/renovation commitments took priority but we are finally there with a lovely new website that I can't wait to share with you. The launch is 10am GMT on Wednesday 25th January so set your reminders if you're intrigued.
•
I've also been planning my schedule for 2023 and some months are starting to book up with renovations already. I have some availability from the beginning of March so do get in touch to chat through your requirements if you're considering an interior designer this year. We can schedule a free 30 minute discovery call with no obligation, just to see what your needs are and if I'm the designer for you.
•
I think that's all I have to share for now...hang in there it's almost February 💫

Happy New Year to all of my lovely clients, friend

Happy New Year to all of my lovely clients, friends and followers 💫
2022 was a year of highs and lows here, the lows being what took me away from this wonderful community I've built over the years.
The highs were that I worked with wonderful clients on exciting projects in Andalucia and the UK.
•
I travelled the most I have done since pre pandemic and it felt gooood!
•
2023 I'm hoping will be a little calmer so that I can focus on this Instagram community again and finally get my new website live. In the meantime DM me, I'm still here and still taking on projects from February 💫
•
Again, thank you and Happy New Year my loves

48 hours in Madrid 🇪🇸
•
One of my favourite cities in the world, Madrid is just what I needed. A full, inspiring, friendly city no matter what season you visit. My advice...hire a Vespa and see some sights by road then head out and about by foot making sure you always look up as there is so much to see.
•
Have you visited Madrid? Which European city should I head to next?

Hello...
How about a few months in the life of an interior designer in a few minutes? It's been a while.
•
Life got busy, durning the summer I had a full schedule of client projects (which I can't wait to share with you), a house renovating and a relocation to a new area of Spain. Like I said, it's been busy & something had to give. I didn't want the thing I missed out on to be family time during the long Andalucian summer so I took a little social media hiatus...
•
It's been nice to be offline more and present more both with design projects and family life but now that things are settling I am so excited to start sharing with you again!
•
Tell me, what do you want to see from this Spain & UK based interior designer? My first stop today is Madrid! Want to come along?

C O P E N H A G E N 💫

This inspiring little trip I took last month has proved so valuable these past few weeks at keeping me motivated and creative. It has been FULL ON here at Natalie Lockwood interiors this month with 3 large projects due to complete in the next few weeks.
•
July brings mainly E-design projects as I will be taking some time to enjoy summer with family and friends. I'm starting work on a very exciting renovation project in my home county of Yorkshire next month which I will be sharing with you over on stories.
•
Feel free to get in touch via DM if you'd like a no obligation chat about how we can help you with your design project. I have limited space through to September for smaller projects and I'm booking in larger ones for autumn 💫

T I L E T A L K 💫
•
I've spent so much of my time choosing tiles this year that I thought it would be helpful to share some important considerations to take into account when making decisions.
•
1. Durability - make sure the tile is suitable for use where you intend to fit it. If using natural, porous materials be sure to finish correctly and use appropriate cleaning products so they don't damage easily.
2. Sustainability - we are all making conscious choices about our purchases and tile shopping is no different. Look at how and where the product is made before making a purchase.
3. Respect your property - does the tile fit the style and character of your property. If laying a floor or tiling a bathroom your choice should enhance what the property already as it will likely be a part of the structure for a long time.
4. Size - think about the space and how you want it to feel, choosing the correct size tile can make the space feel longer, taller or cosier.
•
DM me if you'd like my help sourcing or designing for your interior design project 💫

WORK IN PROGRESS 💫
•
I'm very thankful to have so many exciting projects on the go at the moment...including work finally coming together on our renovation project in Granada after what feels like a decade (it has been two years). We have a beautiful handmade terracotta floor being laid, concrete tiled windowsills with wood windows and freshly plastered walls. It's delicious!
•
My diary is filling up through to the end of august so if you have a project you think you'll need my help with please get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid any disappointment. I try to squeeze you in always but with the long summer break coming up for school it isn't always possible 🤍
