If you want to know what really goes on behind the scenes of top interior shoots while getting top tips on how to make your home utterly instagrammable, here's your chance.

Professional stylists Maxine Brady (@welovehomeblog) and Laurie Davidson (@lifeofaninteriorstylist) of The Secret Styling Club bring years of experience from professional interiors and magazine shoots to host a series of interactive workshops across London and beyond.

Both stylists specialise in producing large and small scale shoots, prop sourcing, set design and makeovers, and launched the Secret Styling Club to make interior styling accessible for people wanting to achieve a magazine-ready look in their own homes.

Join a group of fellow interior enthusiasts to learn the tricks of the trade at these three-hour workshops packed full of top tips.

You'll discover the hottest design trends for 2018 and learn how to incorporate them in to your home. There's also an opportunity to ask for expert advice on how to solve decorating dilemmas.

During the most recent workshop at Farrow & Ball in Hove, hands-on challenges included creating a mood board to take you out of your interior design comfort zone with fresh new looks.

Scissors and glue sticks were at the ready to source inspiration from magazines, fabric swathes, wallpaper and all the must have F&B paint colour charts. I managed to banish my safe love of grey-and-white interior schemes and instead surprised myself with a plan for an inky blue room accented with giddy golds and mustards - and now want to revamp my entire living room.

Another task was to win a style prize for the best ‘shelfie’ of the night, after taking our pick from a varied selection of home accessories and props. We gathered brightly coloured books, fresh flowers, a candle, a Pop Art framed postcard, and a bust which we wrapped in fairy lights and stood back to admire the eclectic look.

While we enjoyed glasses of fizz, generous helpings of cake and took home a fabulous goodie bag, we also gained a ton of inspiration and top styling tips.

So book a space, take a friend, and discover the tricks of the trade when the Secret Styling Club hold their next workshop at Cult Furniture in London on April 25.
