Interior Stylist

Colette is a content strategist and our in-house interior stylist at Make My Blinds. As a recent homeowner, Colette knows your home isn't just walls and floors. It's a mood-altering space and should feel like a well-being-enhancing haven. And guess what? Those window dressings are the key to making it all click. Colette researches trends and offers practical advice so you can get your window dressings sorted, styled, and get on with the important things in life, like relaxing on the sofa with your favourite brew and tv show (with total privacy and no pesky glare, might we add). 

But that's not all. Colette also scouts and styles locations to capture stunning interior lifestyle photography. And with over five years of hands-on experience in interior design and a degree in fashion and textiles from Manchester Metropolitan University, she's the real deal. Her wisdom has even been celebrated on some of the coolest interior and news sites, like Ideal HomeDaily Mail and Woman & Home.
