Fearne has called on her interest in wellness to help shoppers create zen spaces in the home in collaboration with eBay, creating a cosy reading nook and calm yogi garden edit.
But you can use the decor inspiration in other rooms in your home too.
Speaking about her interior inspiration, Fearne said: "I’m a massive home-body so for me it’s important that my house is a happy space where I can hang-out with my family, have some time to myself, and record my podcast.
"It’s hard for me to put my finger on my home style as I love so many different pieces and mixing and matching, so eBay really helps me express my creativity.
Fearne Cotton’s top interior styling tips
Fearne has five top tips for those who are looking to revamp their home or garden space.
Spark Joy
From colour coding a bookshelf to supporting a small business through your interior buys, the joy of curating your space releases dopamine to make you happier. Take time when picking the pieces that you’re buying and, in the wise words of Marie Kondo, always ask yourself: 'Does this spark joy?'
Ritual Setting
Ritual behaviours enable us to manage daily life stresses, whether it’s a morning cup of tea or evening quiet time. Building and decorating spaces that allow you to practice your daily rituals are key in maintaining happiness and wellbeing.
Encourage Relaxation
Bringing relaxation into your home and life is a key proponent in reducing stress. There are lots of ways your interiors can help stimulate relaxation, for example scented candles and incense release calming smells that release serotonin to regulate your mood.
Tell a Story
There’s real gratification in finding a unique vintage piece that has a story to tell. eBay is a treasure trove of new, pre-loved and vintage pieces waiting to be scrolled upon. Shopping pre-loved is not only better for the planet, but better for your mood too as you’ll be adding something with character and history to your home, knowing you’ve helped extend its life-cycle.
Colour Yourself Happy
Colours have been scientifically proven to affect your mood. When decorating a space you should always think about what emotions you want to evoke. For example warm colours like orange and yellow are associated with feelings of happiness, which is why I’ve incorporated it throughout my home.
