MY STORY. 

Amanda+Cotton+-+House+Lust+Blogger.jpeg

I'm a London based fashion designer with over 20 years’ experience in fashion retail, manufacturing and trend forecasting. I decided to set up a blog so I could write about my other love - Interiors!

My husband and I took on a Victorian renovation project in 2011 which heightened my passion for interior design.

In September 2019 we sold our beloved Victorian home and have started the renovation journey all over again; but this time on a bigger scale on a detached 1930’s house in need of a lot of love and attention (aka The Rat House).

I hope to inspire people with new styling ideas and connect people straight to the source. This isn’t a blog about budget bargains even though I am a savvy shopper, because who doesn’t love a bargain if you can get one? But it’s about me sharing with you what I like, the rooms that I’m currently renovating and my tips on interior shopping when I’m abroad.

I set up the kids & baby section of my blog after the birth of our son Otis in May 2018. It all started from his nursery design, and has become a small parenting blog on all things baby related (mostly interior related).

House lust has been featured in Fabulous Magazine, Baby Magazine in 2018 and Real Homes magazine in 2019.

 

CITY GUIDES

If you're travelling abroad, be sure to have a search encase I might have been to the same city. Within my city guides I try and include EAT, SLEEP & most importantly interior/homeware SHOPPING guides.

If you want to collaborate, or be featured, then get in touch!

From event styling to interior designing. If you're looking for an interior designer for a room- or for a whole house, then get in touch. Prices vary depending on what level of service you're after. I can create mood boards, or even come shopping with you (preferably London), to help you create that dream space.
