A house, transformed Following her appearance on Season 4 of Interior Design Masters, Charlotte Fisher’s interior design confidence has rocketed. Here, she guides us round her own home, a complete renovation project that she’s tackled over the past five years with her husband, Sam Words: Antonia Deeson Photographs: David Merewether priceless-magazines.com 46
To have one creative string to your bow is all well and good. To have two is a major achievement. Mother of one, lawyer, dancer, singer and actor Charlotte Fisher can now add interior designer and TV personality to the ever-expanding list of her talents. For anyone who, like me, is an avid fan of Interior Design Masters, Charlotte will be instantly recognisable. Making it to episode three in this year’s series, it was her controversial placement of a bed in the luxury hotel project that was sadly to be her downfall. “I never really thought I would make it to the final show when I applied,” says Charlotte who is talking to me with a small bundle of joy sitting quietly on her lap (since filming wrapped earlier this year, she became mum to baby boy Elton). “I am a practising lawyer and I had no experience in interior design, apart from doing interiors for myself. I was doing our house in <strong>Surrey</strong> when I applied, and we had also converted a small bungalow in Cornwall, but I had no professional background and so finding myself there with so much talent around me, well it was a bit of a ‘pinch me’ moment!” she says. “With so many big characters like the fellow designers Tom Power, Jack Kinsey and winner Monika Charchula making their mark, the experience, whilst stressful and a complete whirlwind, was very positive and taught me more about interior design in a few months than I could have ever learnt in the real world. We had to source everything ourselves during the week, which was really hard when I was also working full time. We had to load a van and drive it to the location and I was pregnant at the time, so it was a pretty insane schedule. I really loved working alongside Tom especially, and to be honest I thought he would be the eventual winner.” So just how does a lawyer get to have so many creative threads in her life? “I have always been very creative,” says Charlotte. “I studied arts at school but at university I studied law, It’s always been a bit of a seesaw between the two parts of me, the artistic and the intellectual. After university I trained in musical theatre and did some acting in London but then as the recession hit, I returned to law and did the singing and dancing in my spare time.
