behind the blog

Hi, I’m Charlie - a mum to three sons and two wonderful stepsons, living in our cosy home in the UK (which we’ve carefully expanded and adapted into a space that fits seven of us comfortably - with plenty of hidden storage to prove it!).

Over the years I’ve worked in everything from data entry to online merchandising, and domestic and commercial cleaning - and I’m also trained in hair and nails. But if there’s one thing I’ve come to realise about myself, it’s this: I love learning and solving problems.

Whether it’s tackling a DIY project with my husband Andy, organising our home to make it work harder for our family, or finding gentle systems that help the day run more smoothly, I’m always looking for ways to make life feel lighter and more beautiful.

I’ve spent years tweaking and refining our home to make it calm, practical, and full of small-but-mighty systems that keep things running smoothly — all while fitting a clean, minimal aesthetic and a family-friendly budget.

Family and friends often turn to me for advice on organising, space-saving, or just how to make a home feel “together” without the overwhelm - so I finally decided to create a space to share everything I’ve learned, and everything I’m still learning.

Home Harmonised is where I do just that - a gentle corner of the internet filled with tried-and-tested systems, beautifully simple printables, real-life routines, and cosy inspiration to help you create a home that doesn’t just cope with busy family life - it supports it.

If you love a light and airy aesthetic, calm spaces, and solutions that actually work in real life, I think you’ll feel right at home here.
