How would you describe your aesthetic? Sophisticated, bold and tactile, with refined details and playful surprises.
What design trend are you loving at the moment? I try not to follow trends, but I do love mohair and faux fur.
What design trend are you so over? Patterns that are not beautiful, and complicated by postmodern inspiration.
How do you weave your sense of style into everything you do? I love clothing (possibly have a shopping addiction!) and love beautifully made, simple pieces with very nice details.
Wallpaper or paint? Tough one! 49 percent wallpaper, 51 percent paint.
Antique or reproduction? Antique.
