Your living room feels off and you can’t figure out why? It happens to the best of us! You might have all the beautiful pieces, but the room feels stiff or disconnected. Trust me, it’s usually just a few intentional layers away from achieving that feeling of true comfort and peace. Here are my top five pro-tips for bringing your living room to life:

✨All primary seating belongs on the rug: sofa, lounge chairs, coffee-tables. Items parked against built-ins or walls are ancillary and don’t need to sit on the rug. Scroll to images 4 & 5 for a quick visual
✨Mix in accent chairs that offer a different material or shape. It instantly adds visual interest and function.
✨Ambient Light is Everything: Ditch the reliance on just overhead lights. Use stylish table and floor lamps to create warmth and intimacy.
✨Always: If you have the space, curtains are a must. They bring softness, texture, and a sense of completion, dressing the room fully.
✨Use your throw pillows to introduce color, pattern, and rich texture. This is where your unique personality truly shines!

I hope this little bit of wisdom was helpful! Save this post so you can easily reference these tweaks later.

I heard it’s Met Gala day 🎉✨— so true spirit I challenged myself to tailor a playful suit in the spirit of this year’s theme: ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.’

I created this look as a celebration of woven traditions from African and Asian cultures — a tribute to craftsmanship, heritage, and storytelling through fabric.

A major source of inspiration was La Sape, the fashion-forward subculture born in the Congolese cities of Brazzaville and Kinshasa, where style became protest and elegance, a form of resistance. The patterns truly speak for themselves — maybe I’ll do a separate video breaking that down because the extravagance is everything.

I also pulled from the legacy of André Leon Talley — the very embodiment of dandyism (he would have lived for this theme) — and the bold brilliance of blues singer and Harlem Renaissance icon Gladys Bentley, who redefined Black queer dandyism.

All I’m missing is the cane and outercoat… for now. 🪡🧵

In addition to the exhibitions, and curated heritage events, we have started a monthly music event series at Queen of The South. Different cultural workshops every time. New DJs every month.

As South London born and bred co-founders, we’re keen to host intentional black spaces for all London creatives - but south - so this one’s special for us☝🏾☝🏽.

Recently, I hosted my first ever batik workshop for @ekomaworld event "AYA” (an adinkra symbol meaning “fern” which signifies endurance and independence) and honestly I’m still buzzing from it!

Batik is a beautiful wax-resist dyeing technique with deep roots across Asia and Africa, especially in Ghana. It’s more than just making prints — it’s an art form tied to identity, resistance, tradition, and self-expression. Growing up, I was always in awe of the bold patterns and the stories woven into every piece of fabric. So to lead a workshop sharing this craft with others really was a dream.

I’ve always wanted to run creative workshops like this — and this is just the beginning/a taster of some of the things I can do especially in things I can do in the new house. I'm also a little bit of a shy girly when it comes to posting stuff I do so I'm forcing myself out to mould 😂. I’ve got so much more coming under @lmacustoms which I'm excited to share. Btw outfit made by me 🧵

And in MORE exciting news: In collaboration with @ekomaworld ! I’m doing another batik workshop next Thursday kindly hosted by @qotspub . Come get creative with us and connect with others, there's a bar, dj on decks. Bring your peopledem. For tickets it's in my bio and on dice, tickets are FREE but RSVP asap thank you. Hope to see you there 🫶🏿
