As a child, I watched my mother spend hours poring over paint charts, searching auction rooms, and carefully arranging inherited or discovered furniture. She had an incredible ability to transform a space—layering soft lighting from beautiful table lamps, mixing vintage pieces with elegance, and creating a home that everyone adored. Inspired by her own upbringing, her mother’s eclectic taste, and her time living in Spain, she developed a unique style that blended comfort, warmth, and timeless sophistication.
Her eye for detail extended beyond interiors—it was in the way she laid a table for a supper party, arranged fresh flowers, or positioned a single chair just so. With her approach in mind, I’ve decided to launch a weekly series showcasing furniture, colour palettes, and curated pieces to help you create this effortlessly elegant style in your own home.
A drawing room should be a sanctuary—a space to host guests after a delicious supper, share coffee and conversation with a friend, curl up with a book, or enjoy a movie en famille. Achieving this refined yet welcoming atmosphere is all about layering textures, lighting, and statement pieces.
