“For me, a beautifully considered interior is about finding the right balance between statement pieces and the details that allow them to shine. One exceptional piece of furniture, an oversized artwork or a sculptural light can give a room its identity. You don't need to fill every corner — sometimes, the most impactful design decision is knowing what to leave out.”

“The most interesting interiors reveal something about the people who live in them. Whether it's a piece of art, a treasured object or a collection gathered over time, personal details bring warmth and authenticity to a space. Trends can offer inspiration, but it's the things that have meaning to us that turn a beautifully decorated room into a home.”

“My design tip? Don't be too quick to fix the imperfections. Sometimes it's the odd tile, an unexpected pendant light or a detail that isn't quite your taste that gives a room its soul. Rather than trying to make everything perfect, embrace the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make a space unique. A home should tell your personal story, reflecting the layers of your life rather than erasing them. It's often those unexpected details that give a room more character than anything you could buy in a shop.”

“It’s often the smallest details that make the biggest impact, and I’m particularly loving tassels at the moment — hanging from cupboard door keys, adding fringe to ottomans or bringing a playful flourish to a lampshade. These little touches introduce texture, movement and personality, transforming the ordinary into something unexpected. Life is too short for interiors to be purely utilitarian. Embrace the layers, indulge in a little frivolity and remember that sometimes the most unnecessary details are the ones that make a space truly wonderful.”

“I'm drawn to design that looks good but also makes everyday living easier. A well-designed chair, clever storage or a versatile piece of furniture can have just as much impact as a statement accessory. For me, the best interiors combine good looks with practicality — pieces that earn their place in a home and work just as hard as they look good.”

“Design inspiration is everywhere, and sometimes it's the smallest detail that stays with you. A fresh colour combination, an interesting shape or a clever styling idea can completely change how you see a space. I love discovering new ideas and reimagining them in ways that feel personal rather than simply following a trend.”

“You don't always need a complete makeover to transform a room. Switching up cushions, introducing a new lamp or restyling a coffee table can make a space feel fresh without starting from scratch. I love the idea of working with what you already have and adding a few thoughtful details to give a familiar space a new perspective.”

“Colour and texture have the ability to completely change the mood of a space. I'm drawn to combinations that create contrast without competing — a restrained palette with an unexpected accent, or natural textures layered with a more polished finish. It's a little like putting together a visual composition: every element should contribute to the overall picture.”

“One of my current design obsessions is Calabash clay. I’m fascinated by its earthy character, organic forms and the way it celebrates the beauty of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. I love discovering pieces that feel authentic and distinctive, particularly those that bring a sense of heritage into contemporary spaces. For me, great design is about finding something unexpected that tells a story and makes a space feel truly individual.”

“I’m drawn to the little details that bring warmth and character into a home. Whether it’s a beautiful arrangement of accessories, a favourite colour palette or a striking piece that catches your eye, these are the elements that give a space its own personality. I believe it’s often the smallest touches that make the biggest difference, creating interiors that feel welcoming, considered and uniquely personal.”

“A room can have beautiful furniture and a considered colour palette, but it's often the finishing touches that make it feel complete. A favourite vase, or an object with a story can bring warmth and individuality to a space. Those personal details are what make an interior feel welcoming rather than simply styled.”

“I’m drawn to the idea of choosing fewer, better things — pieces that are well made, versatile and beautiful enough to live with for years. A timeless lamp, a quality occasional chair or a classic decorative object can move with you as your style evolves. For me, good design is about choosing pieces you'll continue to appreciate long after the latest trend has passed.”

“I’m drawn to interiors that feel collected rather than simply decorated. The Country Road Home aesthetic captures this beautifully, with its earthy palette, tactile fabrics, natural timber and sculptural accessories. I love layering contrasting textures — from chunky woven throws and soft linen to ribbed glass and ceramics — to create depth without overwhelming a space. It’s this balance of warmth, simplicity and considered detail that makes a room feel both elevated and effortlessly inviting.”
