A few weeks ago, photographer Alex Sedgmond paid a visit to my home to capture some shots and I’ve been dying to share the pictures with you all!

Alongside running the physical and online shop, I’m also working more and more on interior styling for businesses and homes. My years of visual merchandising at Topshop + Habitat, have shaped the way I see windows, walls, interiors + the products that are in them. So excitingly this is an area of the business I’m expanding on.

Obviously, my most regularly styled space is my own home, the real home byKirsty. I only carry products in the shop that I would love to have in my own home… which inevitably ends up in the house looking like a showroom!

So what better way to show off Alex Sedmond’s excellent pictures than with some interior styling hints and tips.

Over the next few months I’ll be sharing more styling advice so be sure to sign up the the HBK newsletter at the bottom of the page to stay in the loop.

First up, shelf styling.

Having styled shelving in a room is a really easy way to change the mood, and with a few product shuffles you can turn a blank space into an eye catching and interesting feature. The shelves here are an Ikea staple, the Mosslanda Picture Shelf.

I love the shape of this picture shelf, but I wanted something a bit deeper and more interesting to stock in the shop. Cue House Doctor’s brass and black shelf ledges! They are the right blend of stylish and practical, the work perfectly for an injection of personality. You can find links to them at the bottom of the page.

So here’s some tricks and tips for styling your shelves at home. I make an effort to really consider every purchase for my shelves - only get quality items you really love and you’re off to a good start!

Here are a few of the products from the shop that I have on my shelves at home, plus some extra shelving and storage items to get wall spaces looking great.

Comment below with any other tips you’ve picked up on your home styling adventures, I’d love to hear them!
