About your house: Evija Roberts

What type of home do you have?

We bought our first home last July and it was described as “Chalet Style Bungalow”. It is a 2 storey building with 3 bedrooms and a lovely garden wrapping around the house.

Who lives there and how long have you lived there?

My husband, pug girl Coco and I have been living in the house for 10 months now.  

Describe your interior style in 5 words.

Modern Traditional with a twist!

What’s your favourite room in the house and why?

My favourite room is definitely my craft room! It is a place where I create, brainstorm, stage photos and simply be myself. It is my little space and safe haven, where I can get lost and not think about anything and just create.

Is there anything unusual about your home?

The kitchen layout is a little unusual and we have a servant’s hatch which is not very common nowadays.  We are planning big kitchen renovations in the next couple of years, where we will knock a few walls down, so it will all be open plan and exactly how we want it!

What’s your favourite home gadget?

I am not really into gadgets as such I am more obsessed with my DIY tools! 🙂  

What’s your best tip for decorating your home on a budget?  

Most of our house has been decorated and furnished on a budget (apart from the bathroom and some key furniture pieces).  I love to upcycle and turn something old into something beautiful and one of a kind.  Try doing things yourself, shop during sales and invest in key pieces only.  

Where do you like to shop for home decor?  

I love TK Maxx as they have some unique pieces and good quality items. I also love Wayfair and Achica online shops as well as H&M home section, you can find some gems in there!

What’s the last item you bought for your house?  

Last item I bought was a ceramic bathroom set for our new bathroom.

What is your next project in the home?

We are just about finishing the bathroom renovations and decided to have a little break after that. I have a few furniture projects in store which I cannot wait to start. Then in a year or two we will be attempting to do the kitchen/dining room/living room renovations!

Where do you get inspiration for home decor?

I love looking online for various designs, Pinterest is definitely one of my top places to go to get ideas.  I also love Home Design magazines and certain home renovation TV programmes.  Normally I see a piece of furniture and imagine what I would do with it, what colours would look nice etc.

If you had a spare room in your house, that you could do absolutely anything with, what would you do with it?

I am really lucky, as I have my ‘spare’ room that I turned into my dream craft room, plus I have also taken over the garage, that is slowly becoming my workshop. I don’t want to be greedy, so I think if I did have another spare room I would make it into a snooker room for my husband.
