Home in on Happy… with Ola Zwolenik

This week, as part of our Home in on Happy series, we sat down with a self-proclaimed advocate of uplifting colours and bold patterns, Ola Zwolenik from @thistimeincolour. True to her Instagram handle, Ola’s home is a paragon of style with contrasting tones and hues that simply radiate with positivity.

Today, @thistimeincolour has over 122,000 followers, all of whom are captivated by her eye for pattern, colour, and statement features. Read on to discover more about how Ola discovered her love for interiors and how she creates a happy home.
