Your bathroom should be more than just a functional space: it should be your retreat, a place to unwind, refresh, and feel utterly relaxed. Over the years, I’ve designed many bathrooms for clients, but I truly believe that a spa-like feel shouldn’t be a “luxury”; it’s about creating an environment that makes you feel amazing every day.
Ever walked into a home that felt more like a showroom than a place where real people live? It might have been beautiful, but did it feel personal? Many homes today follow trends so closely that they lose any sense of individuality. Your home should tell your story, not someone else’s.
In autumn 2024, Bruce and I embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that took us across the globe, each stop offering incredible experiences, breathtaking views, and treasured memories.
Home staging is the art of preparing a property for rental or sale by showcasing it in the best possible light, ensuring it appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.
I was delighted to be featured in Platinum Magazine (https://platinum-mag.co.uk) this summer, a huge thank you to them!
How to renovate a holiday home in Mallorca, the first steps.
When it comes to renovating your home, I always start by asking the important questions: Do you need more storage? Is there space for a home gym? Does Johnny need somewhere to do his homework that’s not the dining table? The goal is to identify parts of your property that can be improved to enhance your lifestyle. After all, who doesn’t want a home that’s not only beautiful but also makes life that little bit easier?
How does your home make you FEEL? Do you walk in and experience an uplifting emotion? A lot of us might feel relief when we get through the front door in the evening, but do you also feel … joy?
It’s a reaction which I always aim to inspire in all of the interiors that I design, and now there is a name for it:
DOPAMINE DECOR!
Blending design with neuroscience to create homes that radiate positivity.
It may seem like just an “over the top” decorating style, but there is a lot of thought that goes into Dopamine Décor.
‘Tis the season to break away from the ordinary and tiptoe outside of your Christmas colour comfort zone. Seasonal decorating is so much fun, and it’s not permanent, so if you don’t like it, you can change it in an instant!
I was thrilled to be included in the February/March edition of Brand You magazine which is aimed at women in business around the world. Here’s my “Fempreneur Story” as told to Brand You.
Justine Knox has every reason to feel happy. She hasn’t even finished the rebranding for her interior design business and already the results are pouring in. Sitting at her desk, dressed in a characteristically colourful top, she has just been checking the progress of her ongoing projects – the latest of which is in Seattle, USA. “I’ve given myself the luxury of time to be really creative and do the best work I can do,” she says. She’s gained time by trusting in her trained and highly competent team to play a larger part in the running of the retail business.
The exact materials for your home
The retail business refers to the impressive 1000m² showroom and online store in Son Bugadelles. It’s an inspiring space bursting with furniture and home accessories. There’s everything from designer beds to bold textiles and statement pieces. The variety is exciting and it doesn’t stop there. While Justine may be playing a smaller part in the retail side of the business, she will always be actively engaged in searching for new and bespoke products. She believes each home is unique and tracking down the perfect materials and furnishings is an important part of her process.
Justine’s projects include renovations, new unfurnished homes and plots of land ready to build on. Many of her clients are second homeowners in Mallorca. An increasing number are also asking her to work her magic on their first homes, too. Clients often leave all the decision-making to her which she doesn’t find in the least bit daunting. “I’ve never had a problem with vision. I just look at a blank canvas and see it finished.”
“The big reveal is what really gets me excited,” she says. “Touch wood I’ve never had anyone turn up and not like what I’ve done.” Big reveals are set to happen all over the world in the near future. With new projects in both Europe and America, this adventurous interior designer is certainly broadening her horizons.
Award-winning designer Justine Knox is firmly established within Mallorca’s home décor and construction scene. As the CEO of Knox Home store with 20 years of experience, the British designer is regularly called upon by foreign homeowners for help. She is a trusted point of contact for those with a second home on the island who wish to transform their property into the Mediterranean getaway of their dreams.
As an interior designer, I work very closely with my clients to understand their preferences and aspirations. They are not often physically on the island so I make decisions on their behalf. Gaining this certificate in estate agency means I can offer a highly personal and tailored property search service that takes care of every aspect of creating a holiday home in Mallorca including the post-purchase reform and design. The whole nine yards!
For many home-owners deciding to renovate their property in Mallorca, stress and worry is paramount. Who do we trust? How do we guarantee reliability? These are the types of questions that circle between friends on the island, who after discussion, will eventually settle on the name, Justine Knox. Interior designer, home-staging consultant and CEO of Knox Design. Her over twenty years of renovation work on the island has gained her unwavering reputation, where most of her clientele come solely from word-of-mouth. “The most effective form of marketing” we remark, as we meet Justine at one of her latest renovation projects in Cas Catalá. A beautiful home for a German couple, who following suit, were referred to Justine through friends of theirs.
