joyful, functional, personal interior design

Say hello!

Laura Timmins is an interior designer and creative from Manchester, and the face behind the colourful home account @fromblandtofab. She’s known for her joyful, personality-led approach to interiors, combining bold colour and confident design with practical, real-life functionality.

With over a decade of experience in user experience design and digital product design, Laura brings a unique user-centred perspective to her interior design, focusing on how spaces feel and function just as much as how they look. She recently completed her professional Interior Design Diploma and is launching Bland to Fab Studio, with a mission to make interior design more joyful, unintimidating and accessible to everyone.

Laura was a finalist in the 2025 uFurnish Home Awards, and her bold floral bathroom transformation was featured in Fabulous magazine.

She’s passionate about helping people create homes that truly reflect who they are - proving that great design doesn’t have to mean playing it safe.
