Q. What are your favourite things about your
new home?
What makes a house a home to you?
A. It's always warm!! I find that in homes in
England can be really cold and damp, but I'm
fortunate that my apartment is always warm and
the design makes it feel really homely and cosy.
It's the perfect place to chill out and entertain
friends.
Q. Do you think it's more important to have a
trendy look or a classic look that is timeless?
A. I think it completely depends on the property.
My apartment is probably more 'trendy' than
timeless, although it's based on a style from 50
years ago that is still pretty 'on trend' today, and it
suits the architecture of the block it is in. Having
said that, I do love classic style, and I think when
you are designing an interior you have to consider
what your main goals are for that particular
property.
Q. What did you learn from doing up your
home? Any challenges / best bits ?
A. The biggest challenge for me personally was
100% the sofa!! Fortunately it all worked out in
the end, however it was definitely a learning curve
and I realised how important it is to do your
research if you are going to have anything made
bespoke, so that you don't go with the wrong
designer or carpenter. I certainly also learned
about a lot of independent homeware design
brands and furniture boutiques who I had never
previously heard of! The best part is that although
it's technically 'finished', I still enjoy tweaking
things and adding new items of furniture or
smaller homeware items such as new candles or
dishes and so the joy continues! @rosimai
