Take a scroll through some of our favourite Teesside home accounts you’ll want to follow. Prepare to get house envy!

Emily Jane Lathan @emilyjanelathan 
If vintage is your vibe, Emily Jane Lathan’s 70s bungalow will make you swoon. Emily’s rustic renovation photos make for a delectable grid, with an abundance of warm tones and texture.

Every room of the home has a beautiful flow with a range of neutral shades and pops of greenery. Lots of natural materials and woven furniture bring a distinctly boho feel, creating a relaxed and homely space to get lost in. I adore it.
