IDEAL HOME TRUTHS
Where’s your happy place?
My bed - a place for security, comfort, learning and so much more. I’m a huge advocate of sleep hygiene and so my bed is a big focus. soft sheets, bamboo pillows, colourful throws, bring it all on.
What’s your home addiction?
Antique French Holophane lamps – I’m obsessed!
What is your next home project?
An emotional escape room/space. A big trend Pinterest identified in last yeaR's Pinterest Predicts report. It will be a room or space designed for going slow, an easy Sunday morning if you like. A limitless budget project would look a little like; A USM Sideboard with a ritualistic pour-over coffee set-up, incense and a record player - forcing me to swap out records - an Eames chair, Eileen Grey side table, a floor length Frank Lloyd Wright lamp and some tall plants to bring in that Biophilic design…but I’ll just start with pour-over coffee and a record player.
