With wealth of knowledge in DIYs and up-cycling, Jo documents her home renovations and tips on keeping a beautiful period home&#8217;s charm in the modern day. We spoke with her to discover some of her inspirations, sustainability tips, and how to get that quintessential period home look with some of her favourite Vinterior finds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You feature a lot of tutorials and DIYs for home decor and renovation, what sparked this?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been into up cycling furniture for my home for a long time now, and friends often asked me how I\u2019d done a particular job. Another friend suggested I start a blog, and it has snowballed from there. It\u2019s also a great way for me to look back and see what projects we have done and see how the house has changed as we progress. If I can inspire someone or give them to confidence to attempt a job they might have been frightened of, I\u2019ll be really happy.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you balance home renovation whilst still keeping the charm of a Victorian home?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0It is really important to me to cherish the Victorian features we have been lucky enough to inherit with the house. I try to work with these features and highlight them (as in the case of our living room. By painting the coving and ceiling an off white and the walls a light grey, the period features are highlighted). We chose this house specifically for its period features so I\u2019m definitely keeping them.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you embrace a more modern aesthetic with your interiors?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would say I tend to be more on the traditional side when it comes to our aesthetic. I like a classic look, maybe with a bit of an edge to it. Classic shapes and antique furniture really appeal to me.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lifewithholly.co.uk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Goals-for-Victorian-Terrace-by-Life-with-Holly-6-1024x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"Life with Holly- Kitchen\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Goals-for-Victorian-Terrace-by-Life-with-Holly-6-1024x1024-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Goals-for-Victorian-Terrace-by-Life-with-Holly-6-1024x1024-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Goals-for-Victorian-Terrace-by-Life-with-Holly-6-1024x1024-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Goals-for-Victorian-Terrace-by-Life-with-Holly-6-1024x1024-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Goals-for-Victorian-Terrace-by-Life-with-Holly-6-1024x1024-1-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any design trends that you\u2019re keen to experiment with in 2020?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m hoping to incorporate a bit more colour (in my daughters room) and bring in some patterned wallpaper. I\u2019d also to bring in some different textures to the living room, perhaps in a velvet footstool or something similar.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your favourite pieces of furniture in your home currently? (ideally vintage pieces or upcycle pieces)<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my favourite pieces is my wardrobe. I have no idea of its age, but it came from a local furniture auction and cost \u00a345. It\u2019s a solid, heavy wardrobe which took four men to get it into my bedroom, so it\u2019ll never be coming out!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How important is sustainability in your home?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sustainability is really important in my home. It\u2019s one of the reasons I love using older furniture. Not only does the piece have more character, but it\u2019s saving more perfectly good items ending up in landfill.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any tips for everyday people to help them be a little bit greener?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When shopping for a piece of furniture, consider a vintage piece of furniture. If not possible, make sure it\u2019s made from materials from a sustainable source.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Get the Look\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve had a look on the Vinterior website \u2013 too many items to choose from!
