Keeping House

We all desire a space that feels authentically our own: somewhere we can curl up with a cup of tea or host a dinner party for our favourite people.

Many of us see homemaking as something we will do ‘one day’ – perhaps when we are no longer renting or when we have a larger budget. But interior decorator Emma Blomfield can help you start making the most of what you’ve got right now. Emma shares her tips on how to style and maintain every room in your house to achieve a state of meaningful living, and how to decorate and connect with guests through beautiful events.

Keeping House is your guide to creating the life that you want in the space that you have, no matter where that may be.

Emma Blomfield isn’t one to sit still. She runs a successful interior styling business and in 2015 she launched The Decorating School, an online school that teaches homeowners how to decorate their homes with confidence. These roles make use of her natural flair for interiors and styling, her passion for online marketing and ecommerce and her unrivalled knowledge of homewares and furniture suppliers.

Emma’s previous experience as a property stylist and with an online furniture and homewares store gave her the industry exposure she needed to set up her own business. She spotted a gap in the market for e-decorating and has pioneered making interior design accessible, affordable and available via the web to homeowners and renters across Australia.

Emma consults in person in Sydney. Her high-profile jobs include styling the homes of pop star Guy Sebastian and X-Factor winner Samantha Jade.
