Blissful Home at Birdsall House

An intimate one-day interior design masterclass within the beautiful setting of Birdsall House, a private estate in North Yorkshire known for its heritage, architectural elegance and peaceful situation.

The event is for those seeking to create a home interior that feels personal, timeless, and full of character. Offering the perfect opportunity to understand why certain spaces feel right. Exploring how to use colour and decoration and other techniques to create a home that is intuitive, intentional, and personal.

Three women standing and talking in an elegant room with a large chandelier and portraits on the walls; table with various items and "Fired Earth" bags.

The day unfolds in the inspiring backdrop of the light-filled ballroom at Birdsall House, surrounded by sweeping parkland and framed by centuries of history and craftsmanship.

The masterclass is structured around a series of interactive discussions, covering:

Balancing the emotional and functional needs of your home

How to develop a colour story and personal home narrative

Creating rhythm and contrast through texture, pattern and materiality

Working with the existing character of your home, whether period or modern

Building a space that reflects your personality, without relying on trends

The atmosphere is warm, collaborative, and gently paced, blending design theory with real-world application and offering space for individual guidance. Visual examples help illustrate key concepts, while physical samples of fabrics, wallpapers, paints, tiles, and even scent provide a multi-sensory way to explore materiality and mood. Looking at both practical and instinctive ways to create beauty, balance, and a true sense of belonging and wellbeing in any home.

Each guest receives a workbook, written by Isobel, to support the development of their own interior story, along with a goody bag, generously provided by the sponsors.

Everyone leaves feeling inspired, not just with new ideas but with a greater sense of clarity and confidence. Many describe it as a turning point in how they think about their home, shifting from surface-level decoration to something more layered, personal, and intuitive. The principles and techniques explored are universal, whether you’re working with a grand estate or a bijou flat.
