Q. Did you find good tradesmen and builders
or was the work purely cosmetic?
R. The work was mostly cosmetic, as the previous
tenant had done a good job modernising the
bathrooms and kitchen (and as I mentioned, I am
in my 20s and therefore on a budget), however I
do have some wonderful builders who helped
with the more cosmetic things as well such as a
fresh coat of paint, new light fixtures etc.
Q. Was your design priority more aesthetic or
functional?
R. For me it was crucial that the final design be
both aesthetically striking while still being
functional - these are the foundations of
Scandinavian design. For example, I frequently
enjoy hosting large dinner parties therefore a long
table that could seat 10-14 people was essential.

A large, comfy sofa was also at the top of my list,
and I went for a green velvet one that would
better survive the test of time that a lighter colour.
The living room is designed around entertaining
and relaxing at home with friends, however there
really wasn't a suitable place for a TV without it
being an eyesore so I opted instead for a projector
screen instead, which is incredible for movie
night. I didn't want the projector to be a
permanent feature in the room, so instead I
installed a couple of hooks in the ceiling, and now
it's just a matter of hooking up the screen and
taking out the projector (both stored under the
sofa). So I have the perfect home cinema set up in
a matter of minutes with none of the
unattractiveness of a TV!
