The foundation of Louise Cowan Interiors is based on a love of design and creating comfortable but luxurious homes. My mantra maintains that your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love. I pride myself on working with my clients to create spaces that do exactly that. Whilst curtains and blinds are instrumental in ‘finishing’ your home but if they do not conjure a cohesive blend within your space they just won’t work. Consulting, curating and understanding your needs is critical. I can source everything for your home from perfect paint pairings, to creative wallpaper design, luxurious lampshades, room styling and finishing.
For me, details aren’t just small touches, they’re what bring everything together. In interiors, they transform a space from ordinary to unforgettable, creating a feeling that lasts. Whether it’s the softness of a cushion, the curve of a vase, or handmade napkins at a party, it’s these thoughtful choices that make all the difference….
Bring the warmth of Autumn indoors by taking inspiration from nature’s colours. Think golden yellows, rusts, deep browns, and pops of green. Mix cosy textures like velvet, wool, and woven fabrics to create a layered, inviting look. Try pairing larger, leafy patterns with smaller checks or plains to balance it all, capturing the richness of Autumn without overwhelming your space. Embrace the beauty with a blend of textures, patterns, and colours that make your home feel cosy and somewhere you never want to leave 🍂

Creating a custom Roman blind is more than just sewing, it’s about precision, quality, and the art of turning fabric into a beautifully tailored piece that transforms any space.
Each Roman blind starts with careful fabric selection and measuring to fit the unique dimensions of your window. I meticulously measure to the millimeter to ensure the blind fits perfectly, taking into account any folds and seams that add character to the design.
Next, I hand cut the fabric, ensuring that patterns align seamlessly. Attention to detail is key, especially when working with patterned fabrics, so the final piece looks harmonious from every angle.
Once the fabric is prepped, I sew the blind by hand, taking special care with each seam. The interlining and lining is added, enhancing both the durability and finish of the blind, as well as providing light control and insulation.
A crucial part of a Roman blind’s structure is the rod pockets. These pockets hold thin rods, which help the blind fold evenly as it’s raised, creating those signature clean lines and smooth folds. Each pocket is precisely placed and sewn, guaranteeing the fabric moves effortlessly.
The final touch is attaching the blind to its header rail and adding the cord system, which is designed to lift smoothly with minimal effort. I ensure every cord is balanced, allowing for smooth raising and lowering without unevenness.
The end result? A custom, handmade Roman blind with a flawless fit, beautiful folds, and durability you can count on for years to come. It’s a piece crafted with care, designed to elevate your home with style and function….

Achieving a truly exceptional interior scheme requires a deep understanding of the interplay between colour, texture, and pattern. In soft furnishings, it’s essential to strike the right balance to create a space that feels inviting and cohesive. Texture adds dimension and tactile interest, and layering different materials is key to achieving either harmony or contrast, depending on the desired effect. Incorporating a variety of patterns introduces personality and movement, ensuring the design remains dynamic and engaging.
Equally important is selecting the right tones. Colour tone is what sets the mood and influences how a space feels. Whether you’re aiming for warmth, tranquility, or vibrancy, the right colour choices will make a profound impact.
Successfully combining these elements, colour, texture, and pattern, is what leads to a balanced and sophisticated interior.
