My own home d\u00e9cor style has grown and developed enormously, and the blog has adapted and moved on as a result. As I\u2019ve been blogging for over 6 years now, my skillset and writing has developed and improved helping me create content I\u2019m really proud of. In an ever-changing, competitive arena, it\u2019s important to keep those skills up to date and constantly build on them. There\u2019s always something new to learn.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117841 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2-.jpg\" alt=\"Love Chic Living living room\" width=\"365\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2-.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2--200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2--470x705.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2--450x676.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/jen-Stanbrook-2--500x751.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/a>How would you describe your style?<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\nI\u2019d say it\u2019s quite contemporary, homely and bright. I love bold colour accents, strong designs and plenty of wow factor. I\u2019m always keen to try new things and embrace new trends.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">What makes a great interior design blog?<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>There are so many factors to take into consideration but personally, I love great, inspiring photography, coupled with ideas and tips on creating the look in my own home. I love to see how new trends will look in a \u2018real\u2019 home and that\u2019s where great interior blogs really come into their own \u2013 they show people how to put looks together and what they\u2019ll look like in a home like theirs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>What\u2019s the split between your own creations\/designs and featuring others\u2019?<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\nIt\u2019s a real mix I think of my own home and interior ideas plus tips and contributions from others.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">What\u2019s your favourite room in the house and why?<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>I must admit this changes, and is often the most recently decorated room! But for now, it has to be my kitchen. We gave it a makeover last year without buying new units and the change has been so dramatic. With a feature floor, dark grey and white cupboards, plus yellow accents, it\u2019s been really popular on the blog and it\u2019s the room I most love to spend time in.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">How do the seasons affect your content?<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>I produce content relevant to the season, particularly the main change from summer to winter. Christmas is obviously very popular, as is the New Year period when everyone is tackling new DIY jobs and renovations begin.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">What\u2019s your favourite household object\/item?<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong> Hmmm that\u2019s a tricky one but I have to say it\u2019s my coffee machine right now! Working from home I can\u2019t do without a great cup of coffee and I\u2019ve got an industrial style coffee machine that makes a mean latte!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>What one thing should PRs\/brands know about you?<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\nI like to think I\u2019m professional to work with and deliver on time, often exceeding expectations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>What are the best campaigns\/collaborations you\u2019ve recently worked on?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI\u2019ve recently been an ambassador for Amara Living showcasing their new collection in my own home. The content and imagery was used across their social channels and marketing and I was really pleased with the way it all came together.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Do you think bloggers need their own industry association?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI certainly think some kind of regulation is needed yes. There are so many bloggers and \u2018influencers\u2019 around now, it\u2019s so hard for PR companies to sift out those that are really worth working with. Plus, there\u2019s so much bad press that it makes it more difficult for those of us that are honest, professional and reliable \u2013 it puts our livelihood in jeopardy, so yes, an association with regular monitoring would be welcome.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>What other blogs do you read?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOh there are so many! Of course all of the fabulous UK interior blogs listed in the Vuelio top 10 but I\u2019m also a fan of fashion and lifestyle blogs that feed my obsession with design of all kinds!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/pr-software\/media-database\/?clid=promo_content_spotlights#get-pricing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-111841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database.jpg\" alt=\"Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database\" width=\"900\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database-705x334.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database-450x214.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Reach-the-right-influencers-with-the-Vuelio-media-database-500x237.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jen Stanbrook is the face behind Love Chic Living, which was recently ranked in the Top 10 Interior Design Blogs.
