Many of us have spent more time at home than ever before over the last year. How has your relationship to home changed in recent times?
It’s simple really, I want my home to be a place that is filled with peace. From the tones to the texture, I want every room to provide comfort whilst being inspirational in its design. I used to think my spaces should be exciting and fun but I’ve passed that season in my life and now I just want somewhere I can fall into a fairly deep state of serenity.
Tell us about a moment in everyday life at home that brings you pure joy…
When I change my bed sheets and then immediately jump in to watch an anime marathon — the comfort and joy I feel is seriously unmatched. I’m currently watching Tokyo Revengers!
When you’re designing and curating a new space, where do you begin?
Usually with “an emotion”. For myself, I often know instantly what I want a space to evoke but for a client, it’s important that we sit down and I really understand the emotion they want to feel when they spend time there and the purpose for the space. This leads to a tone & texture palette being developed and then feature items are found, these become the hooks that really bring the emotion alive and then everything else follows naturally from that place.
