Hello you.

Welcome to Form + Balance. I hope you’ll feel at home here.

Grab a coffee and let’s get acquainted.

I’m Emma, an interior designer based in Glasgow. I spend my days juggling a never-ending renovation and a growing family, with my styling work. I’m a big advocate of independent brands and designers, and have a deep-rooted love for scouring local second hand stores for budget-friendly furniture and accessories.

Let’s go back to the start …

I feel like everyone’s story starts as a Saturday girl (or boy), am I right? At the age of thirteen, I started working in an independent lifestyle store. There, I instantly fell in love with all things interiors, and how everybody’s idea of “home” is different. My ever-changing personal style is a mashup of many different aesthetics, from Scandi simplicity to contemporary. I love bright and curated spaces that mix different materials, textures and eras to create a truly considered result.

Home is where the reno is

You might need another coffee for this part, I know I do.
In the space of six years, my family and I moved house eight times (yes, EIGHT! So I’m pretty efficient at packing now). We were chasing that mystical “home” feeling that we started to think was just that — a myth. But, after viewing a mere 23 properties (eye roll), we finally found our dream house. 
It had bags of potential (and the smell of stale cat), but we knew it was going to be a momentous project. The house needs completely renovated from top to bottom. Ripping out the upstairs heating, fully rewiring each room and replacing every single floor. Our to-do list is never-ending. We try to focus on being mindful of the period features in the house whilst putting our own modern stamp on it.  We are a family of slow renovators, taking our time and carefully curating everything we choose and design in the house. And so I decided to document the fun of it all on my journal and Instagram.

The F + B Store

My dream is to launch a perfectly curated store of timeless pieces that enhance your home and life. No fast interiors or throwaway products here, but a considered approach to styling your personal space.
Like many of you, I have slowly started to become more mindful about where and what I buy. With that in mind, the store will also feature one-of-a-kind vintage pieces that I have collected and sourced.
At the end of each month, I will be releasing numbered collections over on the Form & Balance store Instagram, featuring limited pieces sourced from sustainable, design-led makers, as well as one-off vintage pieces.
If you like minimal, well-designed products that are made to last, then Form + Balance is for you. I made it to help you tell your story, and bring beauty (form) and functionality (balance) to your life.
