Freya Millard of Cheshire Life contacted me after winning Interior Designer Of The Year Cheshire with the Prestige Awards. She focuses a spotlight on me and my work as a Designer, Artist and property developer. The sun was beaming in my office window as I recited a story about how my father would always knock down an internal wall at tea time. He would say have I got enough time to knock this wall down before dinner is on the table, My mum would say no, and then we would be engulfed into a cloud of brick dust, and all would come down around me!.

 

Having always worked from home, and I absolutely love it, I like my happy space, home, and surroundings. I have no problem with lockdowns. However, many people struggle with this newfound "Me" time! So that's where it is good to set some working hours boundary and get your space working for you. If you have a spare bedroom filled with bedroom furniture which just looks great, but you don't use it, then transform it into an office or workroom or dressing room. Don't live in your house the way it is if it doesn't work for you now. Having a four-bedroom home does not mean they have to stay as bedrooms; dining rooms don't have to be that if you never use them. Think about where the light comes in on the bit of the day you will be working and take that room; take the one which inspires you the most and makes that bedroom work for you now, not when you may sell it.

By finding your perfect space, you can set it out as a sanctuary, have some candles burning a comfy chair or a small sofa, have lights on the desk to create light without it being too overlit.

Really think about how you use your space, I was talking to an architect who was struggling to work from home, and he only had one bedroom, and it wasn't big enough to put in a desk. I would avoid at all cost placing the desk in a bedroom or lounge as you will never switch off. I suggested the dining room or kitchen diner, but he said it was on the ground floor, and the lounge on the first had better light, so he has compromised and is using the lounge because he works there better and has a view over the river.

International woman's day! Girls, women, you all rock. You are stronger than you could possibly imagine. Inspire another woman today by being yourself. Fighting for the identity for leading women's strength. Stand and be counted, have compassion for other women and don't be bullied or trodden on. You are awesome 👏 I am in support of anyone who stands up and speaks out when others don't believe them # internationalwoman'sday #IWD2021 #kerriegriffin

My Top tip for the day

This is my happy song, "Jubel Klingande instrumental," play it! and dance around the kitchen. Celebrate every tiny little thing you have ever done, no matter how small. Share today and be eternally grateful for everything, good and bad, that has come your way no matter what. You were meant to experience it, when you understand this you will let a lot go. We possibly go through things to ultimately help someone else who isn't strong enough to proceed. Be Kind, be inspiring, just be yourself and be awesome. You can do anything you want to do regardless of wealth and race there's always a way around to achieve your goals. Kerrie Griffin x

Happy International Womans Day.
